i worked on these things and i thought id share something interesting most people don't know: They have a system whereby when a fault is detected that prevents the robot from making progress, a small hatch opens up revealing a handgun so that a passerby can put it out of its misery

remember those little "autonomous" cooler-sized food delivery robots. those were just being remote controlled 100% by someone on the other side of the world for like 20c an hour right

Interesting how Ministers think minorities with a protected characteristic should be protected & from what.
It’s unacceptable that Jewish students feel they need to conceal their identity on campus.
Yet this doesn’t apply to Trans students & Gender Critical people who attack their right to exist 🤔

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

"Accordingly, the Court must consider the entire rap battle"

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 3d

"The Court takes judicial notice" of press attention on the Drake–Lamar beef.

Additionally, it was not just the Recording which gained a cultural ubiquity,
but the rap battle itself. In deciding this motion to dismiss, the Court need not
blind itself to the public attention garnered by this particular rap battle. The Court
takes judicial notice of the extensive mainstream media reporting that surrounded
the release of "Not Like Us" and the associated feud between Drake and Lamar.
See, e.g., Req. J. Not., Exs. B, C, P.4 Accordingly, the Court must consider the entire rap battle to assess whether the average listener would take Lamar's statements as
objective fact or opinion.

Due to uproar from our Japanese customer base, we decided that we will have a separate domestic release called Windows 14 Japan Edition™.

Actually, yes, as a biologist, computational cognitive neuroscientist, and AI engineer, I can tell you that what your brain does can't be represented by bits alone

But you'll spend your life posting hot takes, and never read deeply enough to understand why. Good luck bud!

Intelligence requires life. Has your GPU ever died of starvation? And, no, I don't mean you wrote an inefficient dataloader. See from @kathrynnave.bsky.social, section 10.3:

3/3

Screenshot from book

It is because of these particular thermodynamic requirements that the
notion of a precarious constraint, while medium-variable, is not medium-
independent, and why metabolism is not a purely formal property that can
be literally realized in a computer model, as Boden (1999) argued. We may
describe and interpret parts of a computer simulation as representing “flows
of energy” and “precarious constraints upon those flows,” but so long as the
bits of silicon and metal that realize this simulation are not actually depen-
dent on the energy that flows through them, so there will always be a gap
between even the most detailed simulation and a real metabolic network.
In contrast, a dissipative system has the right thermodynamic proper-
ties to literally be a precarious constraint. Yet in such cases of spontane-
ous “self-organization,” there is only mutual dependence between a single
constraint and its process of regeneration, and so they do not realize the
organizational properties of constraint closure proper to the biological, in
which “constraints are not able to achieve self-maintenance individually
or locally: each of them exists insofar as it contributes to maintaining the
whole organization of constraints that, in turn, maintains (at least some of)
its own boundary conditions” (Moreno & Mossio, 2015, p. 17)

i think what i feel is particularly bad is the degree of rage and/or hatred that a lot of the statements have, rather than just the observations themselves.

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.
