There's still hope then.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

All of them I think.

We did!

same thought.

Machine Ethics: from formal methods to emergent machine ethics — ALIGN

Thanks! Glad it's resonated with you. The work is certainly ongoing as my student Majid has this as his main PhD topic. That paper was part of this workshop on Machine Ethics at AAAI this year: www.aialign.net/ws-machine-e...

Indeed, I hadn't read ahead to step 7 when I posted. They are truly innovative, they are pursuing the steps in parallel.

we should do course corrections via twitter polls.

Wait, so these are only AI generated papers? Great for a training set.

Seeing this totally out of context...I'm guessing we're talking about twitter, perhaps for the that lobster thing?
Same thoughts. Although I think it would be possible to nerd shame them into adding GitHub gists as a verification option.

Trump suggests Republicans should ‘take over’ elections to protect the party President claims idea to ‘nationalize’ elections in 15 states ahead of midterms is to prevent rare noncitizen voting

They're moving to step 6 of the standard playbook. (protectdemocracy.org/work/the-aut...)

Note: there are only 7 steps

seems appropriate

many are here on bluesky too, they should not use twitter for the login verify on that, it should be a github gist or something

Not too long ago there were maps in malls that couldn't be out of order because they were just. paper.

Even as someone who loves new technologies, sometimes the latest new way to do something isn't better than the old way.

Catherine O’Hara, actor known for Home Alone and Schitt’s Creek, dies aged 71 Actor, also known for Beetlejuice and her work with Christopher Guest, died after a brief illness

No. I'm not ready for this.

Wait untill they start thinking about whether closing a chat window is "killing" that version of the bot or not.

LOL

Thanks for the heads up, yes I should take a look, was a bit suspicious the way the article talked about the author, so maybe I should check my biases here.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

This is fantastic.
In particular: "stop pretending Jesus is crucified because he preached Good vibes and personal growth"

A lot of the Jesus-turning-over-tables-at-the-temple anger is needed right now.

The model abilities matter.

Do we worry about reliability or truthful answers when we're encouraging a child to imagine new things? No.

Do we find a way to make the child's imaginings more reliable so that we can get them to run nuclear power stations? Also no.

That's what we have here LLMs.

We should say that this ability to extrapolate answers to questions you haven't quite seen before, really is one essential components for full intelligence and sentience.

It's the ability to imagine, from what's in your own experience and context, what might happen next.

So instead of saying:
“The way that systems learn is by hallucinating something... sometimes it's something that no human has ever thought before.”

I agree with the authors of the paper being discussed here that hallucination can't be removed, it's how LLMs work, and reliability will always be an issue.

But what if we think of hallucination more as really being like imagination?

The Math on AI Agents Doesn’t Add Up A research paper suggests AI agents are mathematically doomed to fail. The industry doesn’t agree.

Encouraging and frustrating at the same time.

Quote from this nice article:
"I think hallucinations are intrinsic to LLMs and also necessary for going beyond human intelligence,” he says.
www.wired.com/story/ai-age...

Why must we focus on the going beyond rather than reaching human intelligence,

Fascinating, it makes so hard to fully analyze how these systems work when they are hand tuned like this in real time.

As masked agents increase their violence south of the border - including killing ICU nurse Alex Pretti yesterday - it's easy to feel powerless.

But here’s something we all can do.

ICE agents are patrolling in vehicles made in Canada.

Nonoffenseeant at all, That wasn't my intention. I'm replying to the thread with a general idea, not everyone knows this and I was trying to say it as clearly as possible.

This. It isn't random, or poorly thought out. They have goals, horrible horrible goals.
