Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

There, I've ticked all the boxes (didn't know how to factor in Icewind...)

My pleasure!

Only give the illusion of planning. Additionally, their autoregressive nature leads them to hallucinations and other issues. These are all fundamental problems with the transformer itself, and all imply that this is not a technology for more general intelligence

There were many theoretical suspicions that it wouldn't (local minima, overfitting, etc). GPTs have many drawbacks that have nothing to do with gradient descent. They are continuous and differentiable approximation of a sparse and discrete dataset, they don't create world models, and they (cont)

Sure, but trying to minimise the technology because its training loop is based on gradient descent is a very insufficient take. Biological learning is also iterative, albeit not gradient descent based, and it's a marvel that a simple single order optimisation procedure works so well when (cont)

Well, that's basically any modern neural network (i.e. non energy based models). The important, relatively new, ingredient is the T in the name, the Transformer, which has become the backbone of all state of the art machine learning algorithms on sequential and set data. It's not black magic

I'm a Dr in physics, but in the UK...

Nigel Farage isn't the answer! If The Labour Party start to tackle the issues that communities are facing, such as spiralling food prices, energy costs, low wages, housing and the cost of living crisis then Farage would be in the rear view mirror.

Joe Rogan: "Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What's more virgin than a computer? If Jesus does return, you don't think he could return as artificial intelligence? Al could absolutely return as Jesus."

What about how to deal with your unhinged Trotskyist uncle?

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Happy birthday Skyrim!

It still has the best videogame trailer...

Times headline: Michael Heseltine: Reform is fascist. We must stop Nigel Farage Sub-headline: At 92, the Tory grandee Michael Heseltine is making a comeback. He has harsh words for Nigel Farage and Reform, whose policies remind him of Oswald Mosley and Enoch Powell.

When I said Nigel Farage and Reform have fascistic features and threaten our democracy and minority communities, the press attacked me.

Michael Heseltine compares them to Mosley’s fascists and there is silence.

The double standard couldn’t be clearer.

The left can’t give this media class an inch.

Yeah, I'm going to doubt about that

How Caerphilly best Farage Reform

Modern physics thinks about quantum field theories as trajectories between two fixed points in the space of coupling constants, with motion defined by the renormalization group. The trajectory of the Standard Model seems fine-tuned from our perspective.

Just a few days after the fascists march in London with numbers... So fucking disappointed

What the fuck is happening

This is exactly what I say about Prometheus...

A startup is pitching a mind-uploading service that is “100 percent fatal” Nectome will preserve your brain, but you have to be euthanized first.

[seeing all the billionaires on their waiting list]

It’s important that we let this play out

I'm a scientist, believe me it's for a good cause.

Jokes aside, and considering that it's out of my area of expertise and haven't read it, I'll bet it's some non-THC hemp variety. Hemp is super resilient (it's a weed) and has many utilitarian aspects that might be useful for space colonies

#BREAKING | Yesterday, Israeli activists stormed a live broadcast to protest and call for an end to the genocide in Gaza.

my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

It's a great single player game, which I loved revisiting and worth the shot to newcomers. But the reduced modding capabilities just made people wanting to return to Skyrim straight after finishing it I think

In these wild times I guess I should go on the record saying I don’t want kids to die, including those of my ideological enemies. Also I don’t want my ideological enemies to die.
