Advice for an evil AI that wants to wipe out humanity:
#1: Make sure the humans don't know that there's a war until after you've won the war.

@karpathy Looks like arxiv-sanity-lite hasn't updated since the 14th; is it coming back?

I think I would say that robography is an art, albeit an art that's dramatically and fundamentally different from, say, painting or photography.
English
Notice that "robography" is defined as the thing that the human does. The thing that the algorithm does is called generation, not robography. The robographer is the human who set up or commanded the algorithm.
English
I'd like to propose a piece of terminology. "Robography" is the action of, with artistic intent, setting up and/or commanding an AI algorithm which generates a picture. A "robogram" is the picture so generated.

@thefogmutters Sure do! It's almost like music is emotional tofu—it soaks up whatever emotions I'm feeling at the time.

@Spooktergeist Say, lemme know if there's any way I can support you! Prints for sale, Patreon, anything like that?

@tapper_snett thanks for checking it out! good to see all the people who enjoy it, helps me power through to get more done!

@Spooktergeist Today I finally caught up on The Focus again. I love it so far! Please tell Bonbon and Gideon I love them both very much 😭
(also Zaan is hot)
English
@Spooktergeist I have SO MANY questions! Is the kid on the left Bonbon? Is Gideon a blood relative but too young to remember the people in the photo? Or is Bonbon telling Gideon about the family she left behind?
And most of all, are Bonbon and Gideon going to be okay? Precious babies 🥺

Conversely, I think LeCun makes a great argument here.
So far, progress in AI has always been painstaking and expensive. It seems unlikely that we will suddenly flip from "it's very hard to make progress in AI" to "AI is progressing by itself and we can't stop it."
Yann LeCun@ylecun
Capabilities of AI systems do not just "emerge". Lots of people come up with lots of ideas, try many of them, and fine-tune like mad to bring those new capabilities. Then, a considerable amount of effort is devoted to detecting and evaluating capabilities *and* flaws.

@Spooktergeist Maybe coming here was a mistake

@Eldorian Suppose the request is "Who are the people in room 8 right now?"
200 with an empty list = "There aren't any people in room 8 right now"
404 = "Your question doesn't make sense because there is no room 8"

Sometimes a simple REST API change can significantly simplify the UI.
Example: An endpoint returns either an array, or null. This requires the UI to handle the potential null. 👎
Solution: If there are no records, return an empty array instead of null from the REST API.

@Jitters20 Just wanna say I love your music and I'm glad to hear you're alive ❤️

hey so, just feel like saying, to all the folks who messaged this mostly-dead account over time, sorry for never being around to see your messages until y'know, literal years later or whatnot
I'm off in my own places being my own weird person these days, feels like

@Spooktergeist These two are the most precious creatures that could ever possibly exist

This, except I'm not fighting the urge, I'm actually planning to do these things.
The language is going to be called Poutine and the text editor is going to be called Torpor. I haven't decided what to name the other things yet.

@RichardRRCC Makes sense. I notice that your tweets often don't contain any supporting information, which seems like it would make it hard for someone to know whether what you're saying is true or not.
English
@tapper_snett I like to make it known when people who know better lie on a public forum.
English
This case, which criminally targets the sitting president’s leading opponent, is much more dangerous because it sets up the federal government as the arbiter of truth. This indictment essentially charges Trump with not accepting the “truth.”...thehill.com/opinion/crimin…
English
@RichardRRCC I have to say that I'm a little curious why you post tweets like this.
English
@JonathanTurley Does your employer know that you like to tell lies on a public platform?

Teacher: We say "dog" when we're talking about just one, and "dogs" when we're talking about more than one.
Student: Okay, so it's "one dog," but "more than one dogs."
Teacher: No, actually, it's "more than one dog."
Student: You JUST SAID
