A Trump ally using a bunch of funding from the Middle East to buy out an American company well-known for producing children’s cartoons? Where’d their Islamophobia go?
If we had a real propaganda arm and a complete lack of morals, we could exploit this.
Diane wrote letters to Idaho’s governor and to Trump demanding Binod’s return. She was “disappointed” by the governor’s response – a form reply – and noted that the White House never replied
This reminds me of those videos you’d see in the early parts of the Russo-Ukrainian War, where some Russians would make some sort of appeal to Putin about some problem, as if he actually cared about some random soldiers on the frontline.
200 yards would be a pretty normal deer hunting shot, remember that people use scopes. Something actually impressive would be more like a mile. (1760 yards)
When the Generative Agents system was evaluated for how “believably human” the agents acted, researchers found the AI versions scored higher than actual human actors.
That’s a neat finding. I feel like there’s a lot to unpack there around how our expectations are formed.
An NBC News Stay Tuned Poll from April found that nearly a third of U.S. adults under 30 are feeling lonelier and more anxious about the future than their elders.
This is interesting. Loneliness and anxiety are two different things, but I strongly suspect that anxiety can cause additional loneliness, due to how it discourages risk-taking behavior. Let’s make no mistake, going out and connecting with people can come across as a risky behavior.
You’d also need to make it immune to the various antibiotics that work on it. Otherwise it’s not particularly difficult to treat with modern medicine.
Ahhh, the Erdogan economic strategy. It’s a bold move, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them.
…wat?
That’s gotta be an internal decapitation, right? I cannot fathom how a full decapitation happens during delivery, unless someone was using a straight up lightsaber to cut the umbilical cord or something.
I would check myself, but I just don’t want to for some reason.
Can anyone think of a case where opening fire on unarmed citizens actually caused unrest to die down? Because I can’t think of a single case. Even in Russia, the Russian Revolution of 1905 was sparked off by firing on civilians.
In every case I can think of it made things worse for whoever was in charge. Aren’t there any counterexamples?
This. There was a dramatic shift in his behavior pre-stroke to post-stroke. He also underwent treatment for depression afterwards. It definitely altered his brain.
Bet you could’ve stopped that if you had some highly trained guard dolphins posted up around the area.
Despite all the fearmongering, it’s so far proved unnecessary. Ji is going to look at it in terms of cost/benefit, and as things sit, the costs are high and the benefit of getting a leveled Taiwan is minimal. The diplomatic costs in particular are fairly prohibitive, with China investing so much recently in trying to be a predictable, stable and peaceful world power that other countries can feel good partnering with.
It would be vastly preferable for all parties involved to maintain the status quo and continue to work towards peaceful reunification in the future. Assuming Taiwan doesn’t do anything stupid, this patient approach has no real drawbacks. It did work several times in the past, after all.
Not off the top of my head. Cooking is frequently a recreational hobby though, it’s essentially an art form. So I think it’s about equally likely that dancing, painting or making music fade away.
Whatever. Yo momma so fat every step she takes gets picked up by LIGO.
lol Now I’m going to spend the rest of the day trying to think of a good general relativity based yo momma joke…
tbf, “manipulating time and space” is a pretty low bar to clear. You’re manipulating time and space sitting in your chair, given that under general relativit,y spacetime warps around any mass present.
I’m curious too. I would google her, but the number of Dr Lisa Andersons from Pennsylvania is probably fairly significant. It’s not a small state or anything.
Exactly. It’s sort of like a massively scaled up example of the blind man and the elephant.
Yeah I caught that too, I’d be curious to know more about what specifically they meant by that.
Being able to link all of the words that have a similar meaning, say, nearby, close, adjacent, proximal, side-by-side, etc and realize they all share something in common could be done in many ways. Some would require an abstract understanding of what spatial distance actually is, an understanding of physical reality. Others would not, one could simply make use of word adjacency, noticing that all of these words are frequently used alongside certain other words. This would not be abstract, it’d be more of a simple sum of clear correlations. You could call this mathematical framework a universal language if you wanted.
Ultimately, a person learns meaning and then applies language to it. When I’m a baby I see my mother, and know my mother is something that exists. Then I learn the word “mother” and apply it to her. The abstract comes first. Can an LLM do something similar despite having never seen anything that isn’t a word or number?
No, I’m afraid not. They’ve likely been preemptively inoculated against lessons by anti-intellectual sentiment, lessons will not cut it. They won’t trust anything that might be attributable to a “deep state”.
You need a more natural, more grounded style of communication if you want to have a chance.
