This is incredible: A sigbovik paper “A Tensor-Based Expansion Of The Cube Rule For Generative Nutrient Morphology”

And one month later, a(n presumably but why not) LLM-plagiarized article published by Elsevier, “Generative AI for material design: A mechanics perspective from burgers to matter”

Damn, the guy doing Greg Brockman (looks like Cooper Hoffman if I read the IMDb cast list right) has gotten the stance and the face so spot on. Even just from the screenshots, I could tell that was supposed to be him.

Here’s a pretty thorough overview of why owning an LG television (or, more likely, any smart tv) is a bad deal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA&ra=m

I do appreciate the “microslop” t-shirt.

They might want to put themselves in the ocean first, but great idea: sea water is famously friendly to machinery and accessing things on the sea is very easy and cheap at all times of the year.

Vindicate Tanenbaum in the greatest Usenet thread in os development: make it a microkernel.

Oooh, I hope we get to see a lot of experimental-sounding puberty blocker and hormone replacement trials.

Great idea, let’s seastead a data center next to some low income sea steading communities.

All y’all still don’t get it: the singularity is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.

 

Got the pointer to this from Allison Parrish who says it better than I could:

it's a very compelling paper, with a super clever methodology, and (i'm paraphrasing/extrapolating) shows that "alignment" strategies like RLHF only work to ensure that it never seems like a white person is saying something overtly racist, rather than addressing the actual prejudice baked into the model.

 

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.

If someone does that in photoshop, it’s a crime; if they do it in AI pretending to be photoshop, it’s somehow not. Gotta love this legal system’s focus on minor technicalities rather than the harm done.

 

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.
