They were watching Water Boy at the same time and after they heard "they Could" they heard "You can DO it!" So they did,

For me, the cube acts like a 3D reminder of which desktop has what information. I also use "screen" a lot in terminals, but it's not always easy to remember which number screen I have a particular session in.

When I first started at my current job, I used the desktop cube on a small laptop instead of extra monitors. Pretty handy.

Beryl / compiz has been a Linux "seller" for almost twenty years now. I remember using it as an eye-catcher to get people to try switching when it first came out and configuring it, monitor res, and graphics drivers weren't dead simple. Now the only hard part about graphics drivers is if you're using your GPU for computation beyond your GUI.

That number should be zero. If there are currently a negative number of business the US government can force to eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant, then maybe expand the list to zero.

But nobody talks about Plans 1-8 From Outer Space

The Pkunk Fury has recharged its batteries. Expect another broadside pass!

That tomato paste must be spicy!

I like the color blue and the underwater launch area seems like it would never get too hot. If robots are to fix the housing market, living in the giant ones seems to make the most sense.

Unlike off-peak energy costs, the realistic option is to charge more on off-peak times for food, because during peak the grill is already hot, and fresh fries won't go to waste. Flip side, anything made off-peak needs special attention, and the business is paying to keep employees there potentially doing nothing. Want a 3PM burger? Pay a premium for the quiet restaurant.

For this, we'd have to delve into the fringes of epistemology. What exactly does it mean "to read"? Is this the transfer of written word into concepts in the mind?

If so, then must not a machine be confirmed to have a mind before it is said to be reading rather than merely observing and using an input (text) to create an output (word probability map)?

Assuming no mind, does the act of a computerized camera observing text as an input equate to a copyright violation? If so, there are probably millions of copyright violations occurring daily right now, sans AI, even if no data is stored. If the output into a word probability map is the copyright violation, shouldn't use of the map be able to reproduce the original every time to be an encoded copy? But it's a probability map. It'll spew the same wonky BS your phone will spew unless the LLM stores metadata like probabilities of words after previous words/sentences/paragraphs in conjunction with the name of a particular work, making probabilities of 100%. But being an open system, the process should be available for all, and I bet things like names of works aren't intimately tied with the connections. Loosely at best, especially since the intent is to create a Large Language Model, and not a Large Library Model.

Meant to say "ethics, formal logic, and ..."

That includes ethics, philosophy, and something very important to general A.I. research: epistemology. And technically, it includes every Ph.D. in the sciences, engineering, and useful arts.
You might not see the usefulness of philosophy to society at large, but I assure you, it's there.
