@Playerinthgame @NathanpmYoung So you decided to go with ad hominem today, cool.

[Tim Hannifin @TimHannifin]

@GaryMarcus @DKThomp Agreed, working with the models you can see a clear improvement in value. Mozilla’s write up is on the money. It’s now getting very useful to take seriously and the false positive rate has fallen. It’s still not the zero day end of security some of the hype folks suggest.

[Tim Hannifin @TimHannifin]

@DKThomp I think a common issue in AI is, some people are still over hyping capabilities but the status quo normie view that this is all hype is being proved more and more ridiculous. Speaking as someone who has also improved security of large systems leveraging Mythos.

too real

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage, including every part of the process. I did a botec and my best guess right now is that inference uses about as much water as training, and power generation uses ~5x as much water as the data centers themselves, so it looks something like this. The water cost of manufacturing chips is marginal compared to how much water they use over their lifetimes.

@stefaesthesia @mitchontheshore +1, good to encounter diverse views. Like @stefaesthesia said, the Seattle one rarely has as right leaning of folks. It’s a good time, you should stop by. New events are posted here:

@stefaesthesia Completely surreal experience…

@EigenGender What do you think are the most effective pronatalist interventions?

[Peer Richelsen @peer_rich]

governments need to start gamifying paying taxes

give me a battlepass

awards and unlocks once you paid $ xyz in taxes

notifications what has been paid (you just paid a teachers salary)

the IRS should at least send a plaque

make paying taxes fun

@Romy_Holland @wivmx @keysmashbandit The terrifying thing is she swears in the replies that she wrote it herself. If true that’s much worse!

@Aella_Girl Which is why Texas is famously both better on zoning and pro immigrant…

I think there’s some truth to this but grossly over simplifies…

Certainly it would be better for everyone if there was fairly radical zoning reform.

@theCTwelve There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. —DFW

@NathanpmYoung I chuckled at the OP, mostly because I do think something is lost in just saying here I am come date me if you want instead of risking embarrassment of asking face to face.

I think this illustrates that there are different forms of ego risk…here you’re open to internet shame.

@stefaesthesia 1.3x?

@stefaesthesia @BenShindel @32Tumbles I was trying to take the high road and not mention that again…

You have many other reasonable opinions; no one bats 1000. I thought uncut was good, not sure about an all-timer but I feel watching it aged me several years from the stress so that’s something.

[Tim Hannifin @TimHannifin]

@__AlexCc @stefaesthesia @PoliticalKiwi @brokensandals @Vincessant_ Wait a minute, do you have a source on the homicide claim…May have to rethink my ethical intuitions here

But yeah +1 to ACE.

Moving towards actions that align better with your morals is good though even if you’re not maxing things out. Sustainability of morality is needed too

[Tim Hannifin @TimHannifin]

@stefaesthesia I see we’ve moved into the public shaming stage

“Trying for months” may be putting it pretty strong though. Maybe if I create a prediction market this will have more success 😂
