  • I'm well aware, but we don't get to build an AGI and then figure it out, and we can't keep these ones on target, see any number of "funny" errors people posted, up to the paper I can't recall the name of offhand that had all of the examples of even simpler systems being misaligned.

  • A name for this?

    Isn't it ironic, dontcha think?

  • I've been concerned about AI as x risk for years before big tech had a word to say on the matter. It is both possible for it to be a threat, and for large companies to be trying to take advantage of that.

  • But not a Venus flytrap. Or a pitcher plant. Or rafflesia. Or...

  • So I think it's less relevant to consider Russia qua Russia here, and think of it more as a negative applause light that has had its valence flipped through the exercise of the massive media machine that the right has built to prevent another Nixon from ever having to resign in disgrace again.

  • Well, the base is definitely suffering from a tragic lack of gravitas. It helps to be aware that you desire to mistake not your own worldview, for a universal one. "Common sense" is never truly common, but derived from the knowledge and beliefs of the individual.

  • You don't think nearly 1/6th is statistically significant? What's the lower bound on significance as you see things?

    To be clear, it's obviously dumb for their generative system to be overrepresenting turbans like this, although it's likely to be a bias in the inputs rather than something the system came up with itself, I just think that 5% is generally enough to be considered significant and calling three times that not significant confuses me.

  • What's worse is that it's not evenly distributed across the set of young talent. The most capable, most impressive, most outstanding talent, is going to have the most options, and thus are most likely to go. It isn't just a halving of the upcoming workforce, it's a lessening of the average quality of that reduced force.

  • Russia funds them, and in at least some cases has kompromat. See: NRA, 2016 us national party hacks.

  • Not my content; the article has a vexing system of gatekeeping, so I reposted it here.

  • "Quiet quitting? Oh, do you mean acting my wage?"

  • "This is entirely out of our control, and if you want an apology, here are the contact details for the person who has the authority to give you one."

  • It's not an apology if you keep trucking right the fuck on along. You apologize, in part, by fixing the problem. Absent that, it's just empty words. Meaningless.

  • That's an unfortunate way to live. Personally I'm hoping for a Biden victory, and also for you to have a long and happy life that contains the minimum of suffering required for your growth as a person. Wanting people hurt is a kind of happiness / satisfaction that is like using dirty gas. It might work for a while, but it degrades the engine over time.

  • I don't see what the problem is. I've definitely heard that with god, all things are possible, are we acknowledging that that's not the case here? Can god only do spells with specific ingredients? Kinda sounds like witchcraft.

  • Getting surgery for trans related stuff is a massive pain, even when cis people fly through getting the same surgery for the same reasons, like getting implants. If anything, it's gatekept too much.
