terse-broccolion Jan Leike Resigns from OpenAI

Are they fundamentally different? Couldn’t you make the argument that it’s advanced from a probabilistic determination of the most likely next token, to a probabilistic determination of the next token AND a probabilistic determination of the inflection that that token should be transmitted with? How is one any more or less fake than the other?

terse-broccolion My battle with Tesla: I want to clear my name before I die

Took me a minute as well: look at the left side only. It’s a lower case c above a lower case b. With a diagonal line connecting them.

Right side is just a mirror image.

terse-broccolion The FCC needs to stop 5G fast lanes

Yeah, but the loophole is also illegal. (so it’s not a loophole?)

terse-broccolion H-1B visa fraud alive and well amid anti-abuse efforts

So basically you want to extend the luck/financial privilege that those people have had to be able to study in the US to extend to additional advantages for future visa applications. Not sure that I’d clasify that as fair, personally. As you mentioned, they already get multiple chances at a H1-B already.

Side note: my understanding is that there’s already a secondary lottery for people who hold a US masters (the advanced degree petition). If you are not selected in the first lottery, and you meet that condition, you get placed in a second lottery which has much better odds as there are far less people who meet this criteria (it also makes up almost 25% of the total H1-Bs granted). So basically each year you have 2 chances, and there are better odds for one of those chances.
