Would you call something that could replace your labor "spicy auto complete"? He also evokes nfts and blockchain, for some reason. To me this phrasing makes it sound like he thinks they are damn near useless.

Pay walled. .

A reminder that antizionism is not antisemitism

I don't get it. How's this help america?

Why garbage ai? I thought it was a very interesting post, personally.

What do you think about the recent SAM audio model by meta? https://ai.meta.com/blog/sam-audio/

Yeah, in the article they write:

The data will be released in different stages on our Torrents page:

[X] Metadata (Dec 2025)

[ ] Music files (releasing in order of popularity)

[ ] Additional file metadata (torrent paths and checksums)

[ ] Album art

[ ] .zstdpatch files (to reconstruct original files before we added embedded metadata)

Wow. Anna is a godsend. Hopefully now we get some really good open source music models

Transgender women are women. End of story.

Link doesn't work for me

Sadly the idf is bombing the hospitals faster than they can build them

I don't think they are rightfully upset at all. Yeah, no kidding. Everyone becomes pro rent seeker when it suits them. Which is the exact reason we must rain it in

Although a predictable outcome, still sucks to see. Hopefully someone releases a really good model that big media can't clamp down on.

So this is why Israel bombs schools and kindergartens huh?

Came from the Google Docs to BibTeX conversion apparently

Why shouldn't they have access to the American version of the next token predictor?

Very misleading clipping of the headline imo

I'm asking about people in the country right now. Will they face deportation?

What happens to current H1B visa holders? Will they face deportation if their employer does not pay the $100,000 fee?

Copying something isn't stealing, though.

Hope people will vouch for it to stay up

Embarrassing edit. You need to seek help.

here is the guardian reporting on it:

Why? I'm a human and I like competitive markets and hate monopolies

Agree with Peter Woit's reply to Aaronson's post.

From the article: Given the ever more obvious case that genocide is going on in Gaza, I had been thinking that Scott Aaronson’s going quiet on the issue meant that he was starting to realize that this had become indefensible. Turns out I was very wrong.

In his latest blog posting, he explains that the current situation in Gaza is analogous to an evil murderer kidnapping your child and strapping her to train tracks before an oncoming train. If you pull a lever to divert the train it will instead kill five of the murderer’s children. This situation provides for him a definition of Zionism:

> Zionism, to define it in one sentence, is the proposition that, in the situation described, you have not merely a right but a moral obligation to pull the lever—and that you can do so with your middle finger raised high to the hateful mob…

> Zionism, so defined, is the deepest moral belief that I have.

Scott formulates this as an abstract moral dilemma, but of course it’s about the very concrete question of what the state of Israel should do about the two million people in Gaza. Scott’s answer to this is clear: they want to kill us and our children, so we have to kill them all, children included. This is completely crazy, as is defining Zionism as this sort of genocidal madness.

Just don't watch them?

I don't think agi necessarily implies consciousness, at least many definitions of it. OpenAIs definition is just ai that does most of economically viable work

You think little Palestinian children are Israels enemies? The most moral army indeed...

They have a point in that Israel should be forced to take care of those children, also to stop the genocide. Taking in displaced only serves Israels interests
