Back to "officer joe claims you were acting suspicious and that's good enough for the judge," then?

Same. -ish. Pair of NJ national guard F16s flying a training mission off the coast of Atlantic City back in the summer of 2000 or 2001. One went crash into the ocean. Pilot ejected and the other one circled until the coast guard found him and picked him up. Watched the whole thing off the beach while on vacation.

I don't know this guy. I haven't even googled him or looked at his linkedin. All I see is his incentive structure and see him acting exactly the way I'd expect someone to act if their expectations of their career progress weren't meeting harsh reality, and there was a quick buck to be made talking trash about The System.

More food for thought: Oppenheimer was scared shitless of the bomb and Einstein opined on World War 4 being fought with sticks and stones. The future isn't written, but neither ww3 nor ww4 have come to pass as predicted.

Holy fuck! How brain-dead do you have to be to believe a piece of software is any more dangerous than any other tool if misapplied properly.

Half or more of the Fortune 500 hlis sitting on enough chemical, biological, and industrial capacity to kill a good chunk of the world all kinds of dead (and has been for the better part of a century or more) and it isn't a problem. Because people fundamentally don't want to die, and they especially do not want to die poor.

Why the ai fearmongering? Misplaced religious zeal certainly has some explanatory power. Even if it comes from self-styled science-types.

So tldr: pix or it didn't happen. How exactly are the robots gonna kill all humans? By what mechanism? Specifically. How exactly will "recursive self improvement" work if the humans ain't around to plug in more graphics cards and memory?

All nonsense. Oh wait it's election time isn't it?

Ah well, disregard then.

hostiles.

Unless you want to up your probability of being treated as hostile.

This is an apolitical statement, as true about filming and following an employee of $disfavored_business as it is about wearing a yankees cap to a redsox game.

I wasn't there and all that, but if it were me with the camera, I might have taken the extra half a minute to go up to the guy and introduce myself before filming.

Let's reach back to what I hope is a basic level of bullshit detection we might have exercised at some point in the last few decades when a clueless politico said something clueless about the internets.

How does one enforce, or even measure, such a "slowdown" exactly?

The thing he's talking about policing is writing code and running it. Perhaps a little more capital intensive than writing a crypto suite without fully abiding by ITAR or reverse engineering DVD CSS, but not in any way that matters.

You're not talking about keeping a lid on the exact geometry of nuclear bomb design that's the difference between a boom and a fizzle, or the secret sauce of enriching uranium or machining plutonium. You're talking about typing code into a computer.

Presumably he knows this, or should know it. Perhaps he's yet another silicon valley figurehead, but either way: it's a joke and/or a lie whether he believes it himself. So who exactly is the mark who's the intended audience of this PR?

Politicians? Media? Investors? Idunno. None of those make much sense to me.

Maybe it's just a healthy dose of stupid.

Hey man. Don't knock it. I get paid the big bux for predicting the next token in my line of work. My predictive powers are better than yours, I'll wager.

How else does one explain a bot EMOTING to itself this way?

With blackjack, and hookers?

Their latest Flash model goes live tomorrow. Price for cached tokens halved, other prices lowered. Since it outperforms their latest Pro model they will reroute pro requests to it until the pro version launches. It does seem to be a frontier model in every way except price.

She was a robot the *whole* *time* !1!eleven

So it must be wrong.

Repent, sinners! The end is nigh!

Naw. Some require computing numerical integrals to do them justice.

About 90% of doctors consume alcohol.

Tfs appears to describe a frequency comb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_comb)

The "rainbow" ooh ahh pretty is a shorthand for the fact that the frequency domain representation of a series of uniformly timed pulses (a "comb" in the time domain) is also "comb" in the frequency domain. That is a spectrum of narrow frequency bands at uniform spacing.

One of the fixed points of the fourier transform. The fourier transform of a comb is a comb. The fourier transform of a gaussian is a gaussian.

What this is really describing is an ultrastable pulse generator on a chip scale with some possible applications to the 20 to 50 GHz regime used for high bandwidth wireless devices.

You sound like a plant. Are you tasty and nutritious?
