If you’re showing off a novel example disregard the question about. This example highlights how LLMs will treat any question with an attempt at a truthful answer even if they don’t know the truth themselves. I’m not sure if RLHF alone will be able to solve for this failure mode.
What proof do you have them being unhealthy? Impossible for example has fairly simple list of ingredients. Better macros than burger ground.
Anecdotally. My father in law has had to stop eating red meat due to health concerns. He enjoys impossible products just fine with no negative concerns in blood biomarkers or examines (several years running now). We are controlling for exercise patterns too. He’s just replaced his frequent burgers with an impossible patty instead.
This comment is just a wild claim with no evidence and falsely equates “processed” with “unhealthy”
Some feedback:
- I don’t know what Imba is, and likely a lot of other devs don’t either. Your front page should sell me on both Imba and your framework
- When I’m personally considering a new framework. I love example projects so I can see how common usecases might look in code. Consider having a few example projects easily discoverable from the home page for folks to sift through
Good luck!
I definitely don’t think the author is wrong here. It is very likely AI animation tools will have a huge impact on the industry.
I have friends who work in animation and illustration professionally. Based off their predictions, the truth is likely far more mundane. These AI models will likely just become tools that automate or simplify existing animation workflows for larger projects. This would definitely result in less labor needed for any given project.
For smaller projects. You might see folks use AI for the entire thing
> “the AI art movement is already causing a sizeable reduction in artist commissions, and that effect will soon trickle down into B2B and wider world.”
This line specifically made me lose confidence in the author’s ability to predict the future. Cursory Google searches return nothing. This is also a very difficult thing to measure at a population level. In my friend group of illustrators (which is a very small sample of the population) all of them have used TikTok and seen their commissions drastically increase in the last few months. That doesn’t mean ALL artists are making more money though. Neither does a few mediocre artists losing commissions due to AI either.
It is true that technically a 4C world is survivable, but it will be an immensely hot world (land warms faster than oceans. So that 4C is the average of the two) and we won’t be able to sustain our current population. Vast swathes of the planet will be not fit for farming. Especially already arid regions today. So entertaining this world means entertaining the death and suffering of billions.
We are long past the need for “balance”. We need to decarbonize yesterday and it is unfortunate that workers in fossil fuel industries might lose their job along the way. We could do what most climate policy think tanks suggest and provide compensated job training & a guaranteed position for fossil fuel workers transitioning to a cleaner energy field.
I’m assuming you’re speaking about middle and high density zoning. Since the issues you're describing are extremely common for those zoning projects.
Not sure why it matters where this digital version is located? Could be metaverse. Could be a mod for Skyrim. Could be its own separate Unreal app. Honestly you might get more users and attention if this was a Skyrim mod.
Absolutely insane a nation can see its end coming and knowing the vast majority of the world governments do not care the existential risk these people’s culture face.
When most EA/Rationalist folks discuss AI Safety. They’re talking about AGI, a hypothetical construct that we have no way of proving is even possible
Now there’s nothing inherently wrong with funding research of that sort.
The problem comes is that many EA/Rationalist folks begin downplaying legitimate tangible risks on the horizon (I’ve had prominent EA folks tell me that Climate Change is not an existential risk) or that many of these AI Safety researchers actively ignore how to reduce harms of the AI we have deployed today.
This existential measuring contest is just so odd and unnecessary. I really don’t care if you think AI Safety is a legitimate problem. I personally don’t but it’s when they begin to downplay others actual catastrophes that many of us take issue.
The planet can support our populations easily, but it can’t support our populations at the rate of resource extraction we are undertaking. Not for long anyways. Maybe your questioning is better served directed in there.
First off it’s important to remember you really are fine. You have more savings than majority of people. You work in a lucrative field and have a set of skills that are in demand. Even if the economic situation is dire. Your savings runway alone has me confident in your situation
It’s scary though! The best I would do is worry less about trying to bring in a second income yourself. Don’t deprive yourself of time with your family. Reduce costs at home where you can and pocket those savings.
Downloading my expenses from the past year into CSV and just plotting that out in Excel helped a lot.
