People capitalizing Random Words for emphasis, as if they're Proper Nouns.

Also getting 'a' vs 'an' wrong. It follows pronunciation, not spelling; so it's "a European" and "an honor".

I've always wondered what to do in this kind of situation. Somebody ought to know about it, but who do you call? Science? Ghostbusters?

If they actually wanted to protect children, the answer is simple: reverse the responsibilities. Require porn sites to include metadata indicating it isn't safe for minors. Require browsers to recognize that metadata, and filter out that content if parental controls are enabled. If parents are still too lazy to turn it on, make it default (like "safe search", but more effective). The fact none of them have even suggested this is proof they don't care about children or even porn, they just want to be seen as if they do.

Not certain if it's the same one, but a while ago such a bill was on the docket until they literally forgot about it. Like, they all supported it, but no one brought it up so they didn't vote on it.

Absolutely none of this law was ever about privacy or mental health. No one ever claimed it was. The law is banning tiktok because it is based in China. That is the reason given by the law itself. The possibility that meta or Google or some other American company will buy or replace tiktok and operate the same way is not an unintended outcome. It is literally the whole point of the law to get bytedance to sell tiktok to an American company.

Making a nuke is pretty difficult, even for a whole nation. It would probably take years for them to develop a nuke if they started from scratch.

You have that backwards. Roko's basilisk would punish anyone who didn't help create it.

You are misrepresenting a lot of stuff here.

it's behavior is unpredictable

This entirely depends on the quality of the AI and the task at hand. A well made AI can be relatively predictable. However, most tasks that AI excels at are tasks which themselves do not have a predictable solution. For instance, handwriting recognition can be solved by a neural network with much better than human accuracy. That task does not have a perfect solution, and there is not an ideal answer for each possible input (one person's 'a' could look exactly the same as another's 'o'). The same can be said for almost all games, especially those involving a human player.

and therefore cannot be tested

Unpredictable things can be tested. That's pretty much what the entire field of statistics and probability is about. Also, testability is a fundamental requirement for any kind of machine learning. It isn't just a good practice kind of thing; if you can't test your model, you don't even have a model in the first place. The whole point is to create many candidate models and test them to find the best one.

It would cheat and find ways to know things about the game state that it's not supposed to know

A neural network only knows what you tell it. If you don't tell it where the player is, it's not going to magically deduce it from nothing. Also, it's output has to be interpreted to even be used. The raw output is a vector of numbers. How this is transformed into usable actions is entirely up to the developer. If that transformation allows violating the rules, that's the developers fault, not the networks. The same can be said of human input; it is the developers responsibility to transform that into permissable actions in game.

it would hide in a corner as far away from the player as possible because it's parameters is to avoid death

That is possible. Which is why you should make a performance metric that reflects what you actually want it to try to do. This is a very common issue and is just part of the process of making an AI. It is not an insurmountable problem.

Neural networks have been used to play countless games before. It's probably one of the most studied use cases simply because it is so easy to do.

I'm pretty sure he said " the rules were that you were going to fact check, this isn't fact checking" or something to that effect. He was accusing the moderators of being argumentative.

AI is actually deterministic, a random input is usually included to let you get multiple outputs for generative tasks. And anyway, you could just save the "random" output when you get a good one.

I think "making history" has just become one of those phrases media uses all the time now. Kind of like how any dispute is now "slamming" someone, apparently. Or how anyone you think is wrong is "unhinged".

It already was. The Ohio SC upheld almost all of the phrasing.

Do you have a source for this? This sounds like fine-tuning a model, which doesn't prevent data from the original training set from influencing the output. The method you described would only work if the AI is trained from scratch on only images of iron man and cowboy hats. And I don't think that's how any of these models work.

Other than citing the entire training data set, how would this be possible?

When does that even happen? If you have nano installed, wouldn't it work too?

I don't know about the UK, but my experience in the US was exclusively women in elementary school, 80-90% women in middle school, 60-70% women in high school. I was actually surprised when I first had a male teacher in middle school, I guess I had thought that male teachers was like an old timey / TV / college thing.

Why do you need so much info on Mike? Can't you just evaluate his statements/work on its own merit? The whole point of open source, federated platforms is that you don't have to trust him. If he decides to enshittify it, you can just go with a fork or another instance. A nomadic identity isn't a centralized alternative to the fediverse, it's just a way of bringing some of the features of a centralized identity to a decentralized one (at least, that's the way I interpreted the article).

Quotas are not the only way to combat discrimination, nor are they a good one. Name-blind hiring would resolve name discrimination without making additional presumptions about the applicant pool. A quota presumes that the applicant pool has a particular racial mix, and that a person's qualifications and willingness to apply are independent of race. And even if those happen to be true, it can't take into account the possibility that the random distribution of applicants just happens to sway one way or another in a particular instance.

The bill itself says, more or less, "any foreign adversary controlled app is banned. Also, TikTok is a foreign adversary controlled app". So it doesn't apply exclusively to TikTok, but it does explicitly include them.
