“oh haha it’s just like those little screw grabber tools but it looks exactly like a real spider a-”

Y’all remember when Microsoft had to shut down their AI Tay on Twitter after people got it to say racist thing and heil Hitler? Good times, glad AI was handled responsibly

This feels like the equivalent of getting abducted by a superintelligent alien race, being put into a machine beyond your wildest comprehension, and then probably getting a treat and sent back home where nobody will believe you

Might be depression, at least it was for me

Nice

Because you’d have to move your mouse to the new position anyways to paste, so might as well save 1 button press by just click dragging instead

VSCode cuz I couldn’t find a good open source alternative written in c++ or rust that isn’t just a terminal text editor that needs a trillion plugins/configs to run (I would have tried zed if they ever made a version for windows, seems like the most promising ide to vsc)

Next you’ll be telling me that Schrödinger wasn’t a cat

“You have to pick levers continuously at every instant in time”

Supertasks: 🗿

Nah they use “an open standard” being just markdown files or something, but the apps are still proprietary as far as I’m aware

I really hate how I sometimes, though rarely, see Obsidian talked about as if it were open source just because it uses an open standard

Like Photoshop isn’t open source because it can use PNG kinda thing

Honestly, having a world that’s just alone and empty, but not “abandoned”, sounds so soothing to explore, so liminal

Until insanity set in, but until then I’d have alot of fun just exploring the place for a while

Everyone gangsta till you do this and actually see 4 stars on the windshield

I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

Science was green

Also math was my favorite subject, and red is my favorite color, so math was red

Nah red represents the fury of dropping a negative, and blue is the sorrow of having to write with awful handwriting that stopped improving after 3rd grade

Was the lever track supposed to be a supertask? Cuz 1/(2^-n ) is just 2^n , so each instruction takes exponentially longer to execute, so unless the complex turning machine halts in like a single instruction, lever guy is gonna die 100%

But non-lever guy has the potential to either die after a very decent while, or never at all, and lever guy is safe too if i don’t pull the lever

New graph just dropped

Why is this whole post about photons? I always thought that the double slit experiment was interesting because this happened with electrons, even individual electrons would still generate the interference pattern, and I guess I always thought that you could detect which slit the election went through by detecting an induced current or something

My knowledge on the actual thing is minimal

Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free

Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI

This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?
