yeah fair. it seems like she got the money from her husband, but still. getting that money in the first place is inherently unethical

how to be a good billionaire: give it all away at the first opportunity

no idea how much she has left, but i imagine it’s still plenty to live on

toxic, addictive play patterns shouldn’t be allowed. they’re predatory

unfortunately the point of the measures taken is to drive up unemployment and down wages. they think that will fix the economy, somehow. as if the economy is an abstract set of numbers and not the mechanism by which we keep everyone housed, fed, clothed, and warm

i think it unlikely that we’re going to have quite the level of disruption from this technology that people seem to be expecting. navigating real-world environments to perform tasks that need a human-shaped body is so far from solved i don’t think we’re likely to see it in our lifetimes. best i can see this doing is providing something like mobile kiosks, and perhaps remote controlled human-shaped robodrones for a few niche types of work

it was never trained to do insider trading, or any kind of trading. it was trained to predict the most likely next word given a bunch of previous words as input, then trained to not do that when the next word would be racist/destructive/etc. it turns out that’s super versatile, and can be used to approximate a lot of other functions, like trading on the stock market.

as for sources of information, kinda the big problem with it is how unselective openai were when picking training data. they just loaded all of reddit and wikipedia into it, then dumped a ton of other random shit in there as well.

what i’m getting at is chatgpt is really powerful (duh) but it wasn’t created with nearly the intentionality most people think it was, and it doesn’t have a lot of the power that people think it does.

it has been a difficult 3 years

good idea sunak have you considered taking a shit in a child’s ice cream to build an image? it’s a much more striking one, i think, and less destructive

wellbutrin worked for me except for the part where it gave me hives

this is misleading. if you read the study, you’ll see the aggregate miss rate is much worse for dark skinned people and children, but that’s weighted by the models that haven’t been trained specifically for use with pedestrian detection. the pedestrian detection models, i.e. the ones people actually are going to use, were within 1% as accurate for skin tone, and were about 10% worse at detecting kids. since kids are already harder to see for human drivers, that seems much more similar to human performance.

the other thing it doesn’t mention is how bad they are at detecting people in general. the best one misses people roughly 5% of the time, which seems pretty high for something that’s supposed to be driving a car

america is the centre of the imperial core and has a privatized medical industry

half the machine learning people at my company are women, and while we’ve had more men in the past than women, women are far from vanishingly rare in the field. and none of them are “token women” who got their position through gender; they’ve all been intelligent and effective engineers who are good at their job.

there are many “points of no return”. the first irrevocable damage was done when we started burning coal hundreds of years ago, and every year we pass new points after which the earth will be forever changed. that doesn’t mean all life is screwed, or humanity will die out. it does mean that things are going to get a lot worse, and the degree to which they’re going to get worse is increasing every day we don’t address the issue.

the one thing climate scientists DO NOT want you to think is that we are doomed and that it is hopeless. things are bad, and getting worse, but the actions we take DO MATTER.

newnewreddit: 10 adds per post, every subreddit is blended together, and the comments from random other posts are added to every post. also the orangered vs periwinkle april fools weapons get added and cost money

i think it’s cuz a lot of us were redditors who used it before they even had an official reddit app, and so it wasn’t pushed on us as the default option. the older, more dedicated reddit accounts disproportionately made up the active userbase

o7 rip to the primary way i used reddit for over 10 years
