An hackernews responds to the call for "more optimistic science fiction" with a plan to deport the homeless to outer space
“The Grok integration with X has made everyone jealous,” says someone working at another big AI lab. “Especially how people create viral tweets by getting it to say something stupid.”
AGI is just around the corner guys
scoot asking if anyone can put him in contact with someone from a major news publication
how about the New York Times
The SH is catnip to "scientific types" who don't recognize it as a rebrand of classical metaphysics. After all, they know how computers work, and it can't be that hard to simulate the entire workings of a universe down to the quark level, can it? So surely someone just a bit smarter than themselves have already done it and are running a simulation with them in it. It's basically elementary!
I will never forget the dude who argued online that the sealion is the real victim here (a victim of the “disgruntled female”)
A lobsters states the following in regard to LLMs being used in medical diagnoses:
If you have very unusual symptoms, for example, there’s a higher chance that the LLM will determine that they are outside of the probability space allowed and replace them with something more common.
Another one opines:
Don’t humans and in particular doctors do precisely that? This may be anecdotal, but I know countless stories of people being misdiagnosed because doctors just assumed the cause to be the most common thing they diagnose. It is not obvious to me that LLMs exhibit this particular misjudgement more than humans. In fact, it is likely that LLMs know rare diseases and symptoms much better than human doctors. LLMs also have way more time to listen and think.
Programmers hate programming and love code reviewing, right? Right?
I found the most HN comment of all time:
What sort of mating strategy are you optimizing for?
In my experience, mice don't really break since optical tracking replaced rollerballs.
What does happen is that the exterior gets grody and the glidepads wear out.
A true "forever mouse" would be one where the stuff that gets worn out is easy to clean or replace. Ideally the tracking unit itself can be replaced, although that might be excessive.
For Logitech to produce a mouse like this, however, would require them to make a multi-decade commitment to supply parts and specs, which is basically just a cost sink in today's world.
Similar vibes in this crazy document

AGI by 2027 is strikingly plausible. GPT-2 to GPT-4 took us from ~preschooler to ~smart high-schooler abilities in 4 years. Tracing trendlines in compute (~0.5 orders of magnitude or OOMs/year), algorithmic efficiencies (~0.5 OOMs/year), and “unhobbling” gains (from chatbot to agent), we should expect another preschooler-to-high-schooler-sized qualitative jump by 2027.
Last I checked ChatGPT can't even do math, which I believe is a prerequisite for being considered a smart high-schooler. But what do I know, I don't have AI brain.

At least set the start of "Western society solidity" at 1989...
I keep forgetting so many people online are very, very young.
