Is this from a US context? 10k for a mastectomy seems insane :(

When I’m curious about a language, I usually first build some implementation of a perceptron or basic neural network, as well as a (usually very bad) text editor.

I feel like once I have those behind me, I’ve got some fundamentals and can dive deeper into what makes the specific language actually special :)

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they’ve defined it relatively loosely… or just that they’re really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn’t find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning…

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I’m actually surprised AGI isn’t better defined in the contract, or that there isn’t a burden of proof so that they can’t lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can’t imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn’t financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I’m sure they know it too.

This is a very good point. It makes me a bit uneasy, even though it is still better than driverless cars. Aside from this, I also have mixed feelings about the fact that every pound being put into development and purchasing of these busses could have been put into the expansion of existing routes…
And it’s not even something that would drastically improve my experience if it was fully successful. Busses are already one of the safest modes, being safer than trains in several countries. Maybe I’ve missed something and someone can correct me, but this feels like throwing money at technology for technology’s sake.

I mean… a form of Microsoft Defender is available for Linux, but only for enterprise customers if I remember correctly 😅

This is a surprisingly accurate description of the difference between the days where I go to the office and the days where I work from home 😅

2017 a few days before Christmas, dad kicked me out of the house :/

That repo is much more active than I would have thought 😅 Can’t wait to see this somewhere in production

I really wonder what the state of OpenAI will be in five years. They really don’t have a proper business model (or at the very least a functional one), and it doesn’t seem like they will have one. Will Microsoft fully buy them out? It seems like the only way to make “AI” profitable is to make it a selling point on products that would have otherwise already had large profit margins.

I will never understand why this place is idolized by so many people…

Nice! It seems like the cables are justified. I also ended up on default 12.04 with unity after a half year or so because kde at the time had too many quirky for me. I’ve honestly been wanting to give it another go since plasma 5 came out, but haven’t gotten around to it.

Kubuntu! Kubuntu 12.04 was my first distro, so it always makes me happy to see :D Also, you seem to have a lot of cables on your desk, and I can’t figure out what they’d all be for :P

Maybe I’m weird but this actually looks good. Might make something similar later :D

Someone more versed in political science than I can correct me here, but I’m pretty sure direct democracy and true democracy would be synonyms. But that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t still be a need to fight back against antidemocratic forces. In any system where the laws can change, so too can the holders of power, and people are very capable of voting against their self interest. Complacency is, unfortunately, never an option.

I’m afraid of what this will mean for similar conspiracy theorists in other countries :( I’m very afraid that none of us are safe from people like this.

Ty so much. I’ve already made some progress :) Hope yours goes well

Wanted to say thank you so much to the people who worked on this. I know people whom I will send this to. You are appreciated ❤️

Idk what a NEA is, but I feel this. I have a big client meeting tomorrow and I haven’t started the powerpoint :(

This is great! I love the classic elements combined with modern features like the search in the menu. Firefox looks surprisingly good with the theme too :)
