@RichardSSutton Seems like it should be something non-convex. (But anyway, congrats!)

[Chris Kortge @ChrisKortge]

@roydanroy @DimitrisPapail Yeah, what if we're just stochastic parrots?

@ces921 But it was good television

I don't even work on the kind of AI that they are talking about here, but shit like this makes me seriously consider quitting the whole field for good. It's not the fun, curiosity driven, open field I joined 15 years ago. It's all much darker now.

I stand by this prediction

A million years from now, the giddy Eloni will be terrified of the brutish Morlumps, and a strange time traveler from their past will decide to just move on

@andrewgwils At the time, the calculus details were interesting to a bunch of cognitive scientists, but the clever bit was really replacing threshold neurons with sigmoids (making calculus applicable).

@jzux corporate was set on a drumroll

@KinCONN @CDCgov @USDA So there's another mortality estimate consistent with others. If "hundreds" = 200 to 900, about 1% to 6% of the known sick cows died.

@vrcraftauthor @doctorow AI plugs us all into the Matrix

@KristinaRevay @KinCONN @CDCgov @USDA Wasn't disagreeing about wordsmithing. Just saying they don't necessarily know about some horrible truth. And I agree leaving stuff out is wrong.
