This is a real plate, not one of those fake vanity plates. The Sox may have the worst season in the history of baseball this year, but that's not necessarily related.

Starting a wall of text with a non sequitur is a bold strategy. I cannot follow his 9/11 logic at all.

One of these things is not like the others. (my bulleting)

We also understand the serious risks posed by these technologies. These risks range from

  • the further entrenchment of existing inequalities, to
  • manipulation and misinformation, to
  • the loss of control of autonomous AI systems potentially resulting in human extinction.

Did they claim the video was unedited Sora output?

This is the article that I read at launch:

Has generative video’s problem with faces and hands been solved? Not quite. We still get glimpses of warped body parts. And text is still a problem (in another video, by the creative agency Native Foreign, we see a bike repair shop with the sign “Biycle Repaich”). But everything in “Air Head” is raw output from Sora. After editing together many different clips produced with the tool, Shy Kids did a bunch of post-processing to make the film look even better. They used visual effects tools to fix certain shots of the main character’s balloon face, for example.

Oh, this guy Bryan seems like a real prize.

EA is not a religion. Anyway, here are some pros / cons to marrying outside the religion.

...the less committed end of the EA spectrum (do you sneak dairy products when no one’s looking? fantasize about owning a yacht?)

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a yacht to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Most notably, he cropped the graph on the "ourworldindata" website - the annual average appears below all of those charts, and quite obviously line go up. I took his Sweden chart into excel and added a trend line just to make it all on one chart.

LW malware question (awful.systems)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

When I click a link to LessWrong from this board, I receive a malware alert from my home gateway (Netgear Armor). Apparently it's their AI text-to-speech bot.

Question - any concerns about this? Google isn't helping me much.

URL is https: // embed.type3.audio/

Searching their site tells me that this is literally a feature and not a bug.

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/b9oockXDs2xMdYp66/announcement-ai-narrations-available-for-all-new-lesswrong

TYPE III AUDIO is running an experiment with the LessWrong team to provide automatic AI narrations on all new posts. All new LessWrong posts will be available as AI narrations (for the next few weeks).

You might have noticed the same feature recently on the EA Forum, where it is now an ongoing feature. Users there have provided excellent feedback and suggestions so far, and your feedback on this pilot will allow further improvements.

Those photos at them working all over the world in exotic locations, including the FTX condos in the Bahamas... ... and still referring to themselves as "charity workers."
