- It's really maddening just how right the board was.
- it's called "power" and money is merely a proxy of it.
we talk dollars all day long but we haven't quantified power nearly as well
- Are they really the ones with the best chance now though?
They're basically owned by Microsoft, they're bleeding tech/ethnical talent and credibility, and most importantly Microsoft Research itself is no slouch (especially post-Deepmind poaching) - things like Phi are breaking ground on planets that openai hasn't even touched.
At this point I'm thinking they're destined to become nothing but a premium marketing brand for Microsoft's technology.
- Could they have made it look less like Midler vs Ford?
"Midler was asked to sing a famous song of hers for the commercial and refused. Subsequently, the company hired a voice-impersonator of Midler and carried on with using the song for the commercial, since it had been approved by the copyright-holder. Midler's image and likeness were not used in the commercial but many claimed the voice used sounded impeccably like Midler's."
As a casual mostly observer of AI, even I was aware of this precedent

This person is famous?
sounds like he's mad about being sloppy seconds `:)`
- The innovative power of the hangover
- Yeah it was already mirrored pretty quickly. I expect enough people are now running cronjobs to archive whitelists of HF pages and auto-cloning anything that gets pushed out.
- Ironically Microsoft is the one that's notoriously terrible at checking their "AI" products before releasing them.
Besides the infamous Tay there was that apparently un-aligned Wizard-2[or something like that] model from them which got released by mistake for about 12 hours
- One could argue that at this point openai is being Extended and Embraced by Microsoft and is unlikely to have much autonomy or groundbreaking impact one way or another.
- Turns out we already have alignment, it's called capitalism.
- >Frequency-pulled
You mean like injection locking with oscillators? Or is this a new term in the tweetosphere
- this is an evil take but i think emojis are massively, massively underrated for use in signaling information (and massively overused in git readmes)
A grimacing emoji when a process is thrashing, a fire emoji when it's eating CPU, a sweating smile emoji when the process is running longer than expected, etc etc etc.
It sounds dystopian in a way but also useful - neat seeing them used here!
- One could also programmatically (e.g. with nltk or spacy, replace nouns, named entities, etc) modify the dataset, even up to the point that every test run is unique.
You could also throw in vector similarity if you wanted to keep words as more synonyms or antonyms.
- It would be interesting to know how it acts if you ask it about one that isn't present, or even lie to it (e.g. take a limerick that is present but change some words and ask it to complete it)
Maybe some models hallucinate or even ignore your mistake vs others correcting it (depending on the context ignoring or calling out the error might be the more 'correct' approach)
Using limericks is a very nifty idea!
- NIAN is a very cool idea, but why not simply translate it into N different languages (you even can mix services, e.g. deepl/google translate/LLMs themselves) and ask about them that way?
- They were great when they weren't shackled

I've never laughed so hard at headlines
- >Relativity overturned those Newtonian assumptions
Only in *very* specific situations which are extremely extremely extremely unrelated and WELL out of both practical and theoretical bound to the human perception of reality.
Relativity is kind of the trivia of physics, it really has not informed much technology apart from a few things in space - compare this to, say, quantum electrodynamics which tells us why weird stuff happens in things we've made quadrillions of (not to mention quantum computing, etc.)
The only time we would have ever brushed up against it naturally might have been when we put clocks into space so that we could better send nukes into other parts of the globe.
- This happened in PvE situations too -- Everquest always had people, especially guilds, running ShowEQ/MacroEQ to read mob locations off of the wire/from memory. Often could be used in non-unethical ways[1]
Sometimes you got funny situations like top guilds cheesing new raid content in their race to finish it first, leading the devs to go "cmon bro, you only played yourself" and then patching it immediately after, but almost never taking any loot away or banning anyone.
Also funny is the common situation where you don't want to _admit_ to everyone in your guild that you have at least one person running it, but you can kind of figure it out and it becomes an open secret.
1 - These are the days where you might have to clear down a dungeon 4 hours to see if a mob is up, or, even worse, to see if it's camped or not. Alternatively (or as a cover) people just parked alts but you get the idea. Also, come to think of it, Diablo had this too with maphacks and grabit and such
- >The idea of a free for all bug abusing server is pretty neat, a whole ‘nother level of the game.
Isn't this basically any non-VAC CS 1.6 server?
- It always seemed like the 'fake' encrypted data, e.g. hidden volumes on veracrypt[1] seemed like one of the better options for these situations. Obviously phones don't have them and the data has to be believable, but it gives you an out.

- What do you use for a ComfyUI config?
I got out of imagegen a while ago but it does seem pretty advanced compared to AUTOMATIC's original UI (and cloud imagegen is just derivative and inflexible..)
- Is it bad that I almost feel nostalgia at those old spambots in the comments? Ironically it's one of the few types of posts i don't think you could get an LLM to output.
- Cocaine when mixed with Ethanol (which is fairly common) creates Cocaethylene which is quite cardiotoxic and apparently increases risk of sudden death by 18-25x.
Obviously millions of people still do it and get away with it (otherwise England would be much less populated) but strictly speaking Amphetamine is probably safer for uppers.
- Depends on if he cares more about his current movie project(s) than his old ones. He still needs $$
I bet even Kubrick would have been tempted if the situation came about.
