@iam_elias1 Paper published in 2024? So what did they use as a base model? The summary didn’t say but likely a 3rd gen? So what does that say about today? Anything? All AI papers seem to be suffering this issue. Academic publishing is way too slow to keep up with the frontier.

@brianluidog My dude you’re really not trying to make friends on here, huh? No worries that can be easily accommodated. Bye bye.
English
@BadenChant Ha! Fair — you're absolutely right. It's not about thirds, it's about the correct thirds.

@ABCmediawatch That 7 show was wild. Even if every claim they made abut renewables was true, they seem to think (or expect us to believe) the alternative is rainbows and unicorn farts, instead of oil wars, open cut mines, and particulate pollution. Truly bizarre.

A renewable energy exposé by Seven’s flagship investigation program Spotlight found to have omitted key facts.

Quick question, who is going to build the home you live in, or grow the food you eat, or make the supplies for you to make that art?

I just really, really hate the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.

@emilysbremer The real best way is to read it after there are 10k copies in the warehouse awaiting distribution.

The best way to find typos is to reread the draft you’ve already circulated.

@Noahpinion I thought all the smart speaker thingies were already doing all the spying? We need more spies?
English
@Noahpinion Follow accounts that are t focussed on street photography. The biking and food channels are the go. Random channels like Katherine’s Journey to the East where she bikes through everything from shiny downtowns to rural villages.
English
Are there any accounts for good street-level photography of Chinese cities? Not the big train stations or the LED buildings, but just regular neighborhoods and shops and houses and stuff?
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion
Most of the "Chinamaxxing" trend is fake, but a few actual Chinese things are starting to win over global hearts and minds: * Micro-dramas (duanju) * Chinese design and shops like Chagee and Popmart * The city of Chongqing noahpinion.blog/p/is-chinas-so…

@MikeCarlton01 lol, my pet robot assures me this would generate 80-150% of the WORLD’s total electricity demand. I‘ve advocated that Aus aim to produce far more than what we need and then export that either direct or as finished product but that’s freakin ridiculous.
English
@adamndsmith Is there really that much difference between AI boobs and computationally photographed, retouched, colour graded boobs? The old farts who watched this girl knows it’s all just another aspect of the world simulacrum. The spectacle always defeats the real.

I agree with this but only if everyone who lives in Maine takes an 18 month moratorium on using data.
People commenting on the NYT website (presumably not hosted on fairy dust) using um data, to cheer the end of data centres. Incredible.

Incredible how many people simply do not believe that AI is useful > the below tweet has 62k likes an there are many others like it
I feel so bad for them!

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

@adamconover Word processing is one obvious example of a highly useful tech that was both hyped and forced on people with lashings of fomo. That was probably a bit before your time, admittedly.

@asymmetricinfo @justincharity Yep. Every (mostly female) typist was told to learn word processing or else.
English
@justincharity Well, if the pressure is within companies, then it mirrors the pressure that companies had to put on people in the 1980s and 1990s to USE THE COMPUTER WE BOUGHT YOU rather than whatever way you were used to doing it.
English
I was bullied unmercifully by teammates in grad school for not having a cell phone and ultimately forced to buy one because I got stuck in traffic with no way to tell folks I’d miss a meeting

@Noahpinion Average age was much lower. ~25 then vs ~39 now. Everything is demographics. Young people are more rubbery and bounce better.
English
Why did our society bounce back so much more quickly from the Spanish Flu than we did from Covid??
English
@Semoriil @Noahpinion Sure, a bad human with AI is much scarier (to me anyway) than AI alone. But that’s not what people are suggesting? They seem to be imagining an AI that wants things (they don’t). And that the thing they will want is to kill us all, which seems unlikely. Why risk retaliation?
English
@BadenChant @Noahpinion There always can be a human factor mixed in. Like the person who manages the said AI and gives instructions to it.
It's not like AI research can be done exclusively by the government in controlled secret labs. Anyone with sufficient funds can do it however they see it.
English
The truth is, no one will believe in a genocidal machine god until it actually happens -- and by then it will be too late.
But maybe people will believe in agentic bioterrorism, since it's similar to things that have already happened.
Peter Wildeford🇺🇸🚀@peterwildeford
It’s wild to me that people like @ezraklein @mattyglesias @NateSilver538 all say like 'probably the superintelligence machine god will kill us all in five years' …but then go 'that’s not my beat, better keep posting about politics and housing'
English
Honest question:
Why does he keep saying this?
