It's weird to know the date of your death (of your social life, at least).

Rick & Morty introduced the concept of interdimensional cable in 2014. Ten years later, it's a reality. Crazy stuff.

And those who have a lot of Karma Kredits can enter the exclusive Karma Kredits Klub!

Had to search by the author's name, "Tik" is so incredibly generic not even "Tik game" helped. Very neat game otherwise!

They should change it so you catch Pals by shooting at them. There, lawsuit avoided.

I actually found out that sometimes the less specific you are, the better the result. Sometimes even giving them "drunken" prompts with just a few keywords is enough, just something to let them understand where you're trying to get at and they fill out the rest. If you specify too much they tend to hyperfixate on things.

We made machines dream of Doom. Insane.

I read the article and I kept reading it as Nyxylon, then I read the explanation and now I'm wondering why they didn't just call it that. Nyx + xylon.

It's a perfect standalone name, why ruin it? Maybe copyright/trademark issues?

I work with multiple programming languages and it's a godsend. Having something that gives you mostly correct instructions on how to do a generic thing without having to wade through today's garbage web search experience is fantastic.

Sure, but I wasn't talking about long term, I meant to point out that it's foolish to say "but my folio still up tho?", especially this early while things are still unraveling.

>I’m still up 6% YTD and 13% in the last 12 months.

For now. It can still go lower.

>I mean at that price it's not even noteworthy that the road is excellent - you just expect it.

...if only the world was such a simple place...

Feels like what people imagined the millennium bug would have been like, just short of PCs catching on fire.

I remember trying to deploy it a couple years ago and it was fairly complicated. Granted, I was trying to deploy a multi-node mnesia cluster, which is probably what caused all my issues.

But for non-production single nodes I just created a Dockerfile and deployed it because the other options were too much hassle. Can't remember the details, but in my (in)experience, deploying was always the hard part with Elixir.

I will need to try it again, it's been a while and the ecosystem has improved dramatically in the meantime ... and it was already excellent before. Good stuff!

Now the only thing left: figuring out how to deploy it.

>It won’t kill creativity, it’s just another creative tool.

I've been banging on this drum since AI's inception, and will continue do so.

Even if machines were capable of directly reading our mind and outputting a perfect representation of exactly what we wanted at the mere thought of it, it's still a mere tool bound by the creativity of its artist, even if the artist were the AI itself.

Art is dead. Art is always dead.

Did people complain when digital paintings became a thing?

> Or they think that users would rather have a faster GPT-4 than a smarter but slower one.

And they are absolutely right.

GPT-4 is already much more than enough for 90% of tasks while maintaining a sane dose of human double-checking.

Making it faster enables real-time workflows, and better energy efficiency also gives them much more capability to serve more requests/users while lowering costs. And that knowledge likely carries over to GPT-5 or whatever.

How is that weird? That seems like a feature.

FNAF was the final nail in the coffin. For some reason, they did not like that animatronics are now associated with child-murdering terror machines.

This is great!

My first reaction was to raise concern about alignment, and came up with an example that has nothing to do with current or past events, instead describing a hypotetical future scenario that might possibly play out if current AIs were tasked to issue a report, which are (IMO) overly tuned to be exceedingly sensitive to racial issues and would thus be likely fail to be neutral.

Not to mention alignment. AIs are anything but neutral. An AI might refuse to report that a PoC was acting aggressively out of fear of being racist. Just an example.

Excellent article.

> Now, if you’re wondering if I spent $99 to save some milliseconds for a meaningless demo, the answer is absolutely yes I did.

Godspeed, soldier.

> I was very excited for this problem in particular because it’s literally the perfect application of Elixir and Phoenix. If you are building conversational agents, you should seriously consider giving Elixir a try. A large part of how quick this demo was to put together is because of how productive Elixir is.

Back in the pre-GPT era I built a chatbot with LiveView, it is a a fantastic fit for assistants.

I might pick it up again, it was pretty fun.

It’s incredible how the Reddit mod stereotype is not, in fact, a stereotype. I’ve been banned for some very asinine/trivial reasons, you could feel the fedora being tipped through the screen every time.

My favourite was when I commented on a post on /r/art of a naked woman, replying to a guy who was complaining that only naked women got on the front page, to which I commented with “it’s very simple, naked woman = upvotes”. I was permabanned immediately after with no reason given, so when I asked what rule I broke, I was replied with - and I quote literally - “the one you didn’t read :)”. I still have no idea what rule I broke, if I even broke one.

Now, I could honestly not care any less about it, it was just an interesting interaction because of how unprofessional it was. It is kind of understandable, given that these guys don’t even get paid to moderate a very considerable influx of content, but still, it’s a very mild example of a larger problem that spans across the whole website. You have power tripping moderators that just do whatever they feel, some of them even banning based on what subs you interacted prior, regardless of content, and some of them even moderate hundreds, if not thousands, of subs. It’s insane. And yeah, any sub that has even the slightest hint of anything political is FUBAR.

It’s almost like the moderation never evolved past what I would expect from a niche joomla forum from the 2000 with hundreds of users… except now it’s one of the biggest sites on the internet. It’s quite bizarre.

The problem is that unless you buy Brand stuff, you're just paying double the price for being dropshitted Aliexpress garbage.

Yes, that was a typo but I'm leaving it.

It was.

Should be a standard cheat on all videogames, like immortality or big head

Near my house there is a supermarket with a in-store radio that every single day plays the exact same playlist. If you go at the same hour in two different days, you'll hear the same song.

And it's not good songs either. It's bottom of the barrel, a penny a dozen kind of music if you know what I'm saying. They probably do this because it's cheaper than paying rights to play an actual radio.

Now, how the staff survives this kind of psychological torture, I don't know. What I do know is that both staff and the customers would be very glad to listen to anything else, including AI generated music. It's already miles better than some "music" we are subjected to... especially pop music, which is somehow more artificial than actual AI generated music.

There are a lot of places where I'd rather might want actual music, even if AI generated, instead of repeating the same sample over and over because you do not have enough budget to spend on it for something that is at least not completely irritating.

Let's not.

Unless you want the AI equivalent of this Family Guy sketch

I wonder how many of those will actually be served... one way or the other.
