Everyone has outsourced all their cheap and low-quality manufacturing to China, therefore China is only capable of manufacturing cheap, low quality items. Is this your argument?
Setting aside theories around no state directed strategies around favouring exports etc shouldn't we expect, in the dull normal case, a remarkable amount of exports from China given that they're a very large country that is dramatically larger than most?
I will not vote. But give me US salaries in Germany please. All these €100k@35 hours workweek offers are boring. I will sign probably every shady document for one million € stock compensation.
The portals in prey were cool but, definitely the games Portal and Portal 2 are places you could see it elsewhere. Also in portal you can actually choose where the portals are, whereas Prey's portals were fixed in place
> I don’t know what the answer is, but I too believe things won’t change until the day someone figures out how to push a “kill all humans” OTA update to all the self-driving cars on some random Tuesday afternoon.
Even in that case I’m pessimistic that any action will happen. People will go on TV and say grave things, hearings will be held. Fingers will be pointed. Task Forces will kick off. Reports will be written. Bureaucrats will have stern conversations with bureaucrats. Politicians will say: we must this and we shall that. IT companies will sell their “solutions”. But no actual action will happen. It will be all talk and commerce but no actual hands unplugging and plugging in cables. We have completely lost the societal will to actually do anything besides generate words and reports.
I think Ritchie's influence while significant is overblown and not entirely positive. I am not a fan of Steve Jobs, who had many reprehensible traits, but I find it ridiculous to dismiss his genius. Frankly, I find Jobs's ability to manipulate people more impressive than Ritchie's ability to manipulate machines.
There are many reasons including prevalence of fast food locations, ultraprocessed foods, food marketing, car culture, social tolerance, and sedentary lifestyles. So much would have to change in America, including attitudes, to make a dent.

Last time I tried an hdpi display on linux it was not good. But that was a couple years ago so I assumed things would probably be much better now. Was curious if it is still bad.
> Your analogy inadvertently once again emphasizes the point. Now change it from being a rabbit and a turtle, to an unknown animal and some non-animal thing pretending to be another unknown animal. And you have to guess which is which. It would be effectively impossible to figure anything out, because you have absolutely no basis to work from.
It'd be possible to get an idea if there is some box movement that was unique to animals. That's not particularly interesting because it's fairly uncontroversial that a box-sized robot could very accurately imitate an animal through the medium of box movement, but for a bot to imitate a human through the medium of text (seen as a sufficiently general interface to test "almost any one of the fields of human endeavour that we wish to include") is interesting to many.
But, the concept the analogy was demonstrating was really just basic reasoning. That, if you're given X xor Y and have evidence of Y, you should tend towards Y even lacking direct evidence for/against X. Do you agree that, in my example, you would choose the box giving some evidence of being a rabbit over the one that gives none?
> LLMs are trained on nothing except the corpus of human knowledge. It is literally impossible for them to e.g. accidentally say something that it's inconceivable for a human to say
Depends on what you mean by "inconceivable", but it's certainly possible for it to say things that it is unlikely for a human to say due to the bot's limitations (at the extreme, consider a Markov chain). And, even if only saying things that a human could just as well say, if those things are also trivial for a bot to say it is poor evidence of personhood.
> And no, always giving bad answers it not a failing strategy. As I mentioned, the scenario I'm describing is not a hypothetical. The Turing Test (or at least yet another abysmal bastardization of it) [...]
To put relevant emphasis on my claims:
> > Always giving bad answers just because humans can also give a bad answer is already a failing strategy with low success rate when the test is carried out as Turing specified
> > Then the real human B would, on average, offer far more compelling evidence of personhood and the bot would fail the majority of the time. I don't see how this issue affects Turing's proposed version of the experiment.
I agree that there are ways to bastardize the test. If for instance you have no second player to choose between, then just remaining silent/incoherent to give no information either way can be a reasonable strategy. As with all benchmarks, you also need a sufficient number of repeats such that your margin of error is low enough - fooling a handful of judges does not give a good approximation of the bot's actual rate.
I'd even claim it's a bit of a bastardization to use Turing's 70% prediction (of where we'd be by 2000) to reduce the experiment down to just pass or fail. Ultimately the game gives a metric for which the human benchmark is 50%.
How does staying oneself have anything to do with what other people do?
(I'm failing to see the how we get to "in effect say they don't have a right to their own place". My understanding of the leftist position is that everyone has a right to their own place.)

He clearly states why he left. He believes that OpenAI leadership is prioritizing shiny product releases over safety and that this is a mistake.
Even with the best intentions , it’s easy for a strong CEO like Altman to loose sight of more subtly important things like safety and optimize for growth and winning, eventually at all cost. Winning is a super-addictive feedback loop.
Problematic when fascism forms as recently has been evident by social media working with government to censor citizens; fascism being authoritarian politicians working with industrial complexes to benefit each other.
great memories as a kid playing 48 hour CTP in 100 acres of woodland. Camo, tackling, building prison cells, escaping from prison, getting lost for hours. Built character.
Management games help me relax a lot. I like Rimworld, Factorio and Stellaris, all for largely different reasons:
- Rimworld combines the best of most management games I've played into one. It's as granular as The Sims while giving you Simcity-levels of control of your surroundings. It swaps spit with Dwarf Fortress, which is not a comparison I make lightly.
- Factorio is pure efficiency porn. If you like staring at a puzzle and trying to optimize it or inch closer to a solution, that's what Factorio is for the entire playtime. Basically a pure logistics sim without a lot of the distractions from other genres.
- Stellaris is none of those things, and instead is a Paradox-developed strategy game. I don't know why I like it; the gameplay is repetitive and simple, but there's an enormous variety of low-pressure ways to develop your civilization. A lot of real-time-strategy fails to grab my attention, but Stellaris doesn't.
Those are just my picks, though. I can totally see how logistics and management simulators would feel like additional stress to the right kind of person.
> I wonder if we've reached the limit of what a singular human mind can push.
We passed that limit ages ago. The underlying technology used to do so is called "writing", which is what allows for things like libraries and letters / email and personal scratchpad notes.
So if I say "supply" when I mean "demand", everyone should just disregard what I actually said and assume I actually know what I'm talking about? Words matter
I remember Quake 3 still having that issue, but that '99...
