@crancpiti @Acerola__t They can release code they created, though some of it they might have trains to want to keep secret (anti-cheat used in multiple games). They can't release third party services, which they're likely using. The server data shouldn't be made public for privacy reasons.

“Surveys show that people greatly overestimate both firms' profit margins. For example, the SAEE found that the general public believed the average profit margin made by American corporations to be 46.7%, while the actual average that year was just 3%.” https://t.co/fAt3siUqW1

@exfatloss @ESYudkowsky This study has the wrong control group for the hypothesis you're making. Also, the animals in groups are related, which would increase correlation between them. This increases the likelihood of a false positive. This is especially relevant given the tiny sample size.

@therealshanmao @ESYudkowsky Also after following the links in that source, I found them talking about a study in which mice fed almost no linoleic acid weighed less than those fed linoleic acid (the difference was compensated by saturated fat). This is best explained by linoleic acid deficiency.

@therealshanmao @ESYudkowsky You don't have to worry about LA definitely on a normal diet. But it may still be possible with a diet that tries to avoid it.

@JJ_McCullough I said American because the scenes didn't seem very rainy to me. People were on sunny beaches, etc.

@ESYudkowsky They shouldn't serve indefinitely. They should be elected directly in a Condorcet system and a supermajority in the legislature should be needed to replace them. And there should be three chief executives who make decisions by majority and have staggered elections.

@ESYudkowsky I don't think I've ever pronounced that vowel after a Y. Which I guess may be part of why it gets mispronounced.

@Aella_Girl I'm pretty sure the average incandescent light is mostly infrared. And there are heat lamps used for raising chicks.

So if someone's paying a lot for this, I'd guess they're being scammed. And I'd guess the infrared itself is a scam too.

@DonaldH49964496 @ESYudkowsky If there's a carboxyl or hydroxyl group, the reaction can be broken down into simple reactions that aren't possible on saturated hydrocarbons. Hydride subtraction, proton donation and removal, resonance structures where oxygen shares the charge with carbon, etc.

@DonaldH49964496 @ESYudkowsky It's hard to see how.

Most lower-energy reactions involve a single bond moving, and every atom having a full octet at each step. That would require carboanions in a saturated hydrocarbon. But those are fairly high energy.

@Nunnie3001 @Lone_Swordsman1 @datepsych Generative AI doesn't save the training data, and it doesn't copy it to the output. They're designed to output things that have the same probability as the training data, but are still original. Different models do that in different ways.

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@Nunnie3001 @Lone_Swordsman1 @datepsych That's true, but AI doesn't take an average. It's trained to output the same distribution as the training data.

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@B1gMuddy @ESYudkowsky @Aella_Girl The wave amplitude in the other 60% of the space increased to compensate.

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@Lone_Swordsman1 @datepsych It's probably trained on as many images as the developers can find. Later reinforcement learning probably trained it to produce attractive faces. That's not surprising, the people evaluating probably preferred images with attractive faces.

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@datepsych The humans doing RLHF must've given higher ratings for attractive faces, until the model only produced those. This isn't super surprising, but is funny.

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@Aella_Girl We're currently at a stage where theoretical work can be done without a lot of technical knowledge, was long as it's specified in pure logic/mathematics. You don't need to be a programmer necessarily. Ontology identification is one such problem.

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@ESYudkowsky It would technically be possible for a single double bond to be enough to make it possible for organisms that evolved for it to break down a hydrocarbon. Though it might have the problem of being less water soluble, and more likely to evaluate.

2/2

[Jesse Clark @JFC_Bass_Chant]

@ESYudkowsky I don't know of any low energy reactions that can break down pure saturated hydrocarbons, except those that use highly reactive compounds that would likely react with everything else in the organism. Fats can be broken down much more easily.
