May all that is good and beautiful endure.

@alcuintweets Yes. congratulations!

Langsec: exploits are proof by construction. And current AIs are very, very good at finding complex proofs.

[s1r1us @S1r1u5_]

two things:
1. the pros before ai are the ones still doing pro stuff, it seems ai+researcher > ai alone or researcher alone

2. if you look at the vulns, they're way more complex than what they used to find. not saying their previous work isnt complex, but recent bugs are bit crazy

ig people who were good became extremely good. ai will still find the low hanging stuff, but the vulnerability space seems to be opening up

@__0xhorror__ Both A and B can be true: human qualia is non-obvious and B it is also utterly unnecessary for intelligence. Blindsight spells it out a hundred different ways, and we can look at mental illness. "Generality" is nothing more than a vibe we feel regardless of our actual ability.

"For $500m today you can thoroughly audit every paper ever written. Every p-hacked result, every plagiarist, every fabrication, every citation club, everything."

real peer review has never been tried, but is about to be...

On the run from the Vang, he is rescued by Keeper 2000, who reveals that the Ringworld Orbital is indeed Starhammer. Keeper 2000 is only too happy to help a friend of Rhapsodical Stardimple (or maybe a descendent of the frog-like batrachians? It’s unclear which source material had authority here.) Together they recover the Tron Disk and travel to the MCP.

After losing a battle at Gisaku's Mill, they flee via Jump Drive following rumors of Starhammer, a powerful weapon left by the Builders (an ancient race of humans descended from the mutineer crew of Dahak the Wanderer, but that’s not important until later.)

The TRUE story of Halo:

The Culture is losing their war against the Pfhor Empire - an alien alliance between the Yautja and the Moties led by the Church of the Final Atonement - so after The Engine graduates from Battle School, he and his AI sidekick Shodan board the Space Battleship Yamato under Captain Ramsey.

I don't even think I'm capable of perceiving individual facts anymore. Only the vector-field.

Self-replicating, multi-agent AI systems are an overlooked existential risk.

I want to lay out why I believe this, via example.

Each dot is a simple creature with a randomly evolved NN brain.
There is no training; yet complex, unpredictable survival drives always emerge.

@ChShersh @Dartrisen You're joking, right?

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

Please resist the urge to mock the mathematicians struggling through this moment. Whatever your field, your expertise, your passion, you too shall one day experience what they are going through. And when you remember your words, you will feel remorse.

@qualiascript product management.

[Pyrus @pyrusdotc]

@ryaneshea Really incredible.

[Pyrus @pyrusdotc]

@gfodor Are we getting that this extends to __ALL__ utility-driven human endeavour yet? No?

[Pyrus @pyrusdotc]

@chernovlosya I do lament it. We're churning through entire mediums faster than we ever iterated through genre. Sometimes I go out of my way to overspend on dead works, on secondhand antiques published a century ago or more. Might as well, before it all crumbles to dust.

[Pyrus @pyrusdotc]

GabeN's argument against piracy was that it's almost always a distribution problem. Well, ok.

Now you can play anything directly in your web browser, also for free, without a Steam account or Valve taking their 30% cut.

Now what?

[Pyrus @pyrusdotc]

@BEASTgroyper Having something published on Steam is already meaningless. One of 20,000 a year. Games distribution is going to completely fracture, going the way of the music label, ending up with a bunch of people hosting random buckets of crap you play in Chrome. Flash but worse.
