Yeah I fuckin love eating a whole stick of butter straight

I quite enjoyed the show but season 4 was a massive turd that should be skipped.

That is literally because they don’t have the missile range. I also assume they have far less warheads stockpiled.

Whole lotta ifs and assumptions. “A high enough level of information processing” is meaningless if we don’t have any idea what sort of information processing could lead to consciousness, because it clearly isn’t just raw throughput.

AGI definitionally improves itself, which implies awareness of itself and intention. Those are a huge amount of how we define consciousness.

The general definition.

Yeah no only people who don’t understand the tech are worried about AGI. There is zero evidence to suggest that we’re anywhere on the right path to develop it. The chatbots are not intelligent, they are just a big bag of all the data the trainers could scrape and an algorithm to pull things out of that bag in a way that humans like.

Actual AGI would require us to understand how consciousness works. We don’t at all.

The browsers implement the DRM protections. It will be black if you try to record.

Well that seems like a fairly big deal.

Hahaha okay great I was just feeling sorry for your back!

Tap it off on your ankle or a chair leg.

The floor? Have you heard of brooms and mops?

Use a decent quality duster, cheaper options retain way less dust.

Dust from high to low in a room or area.

After a few strokes, tap out the duster at ground level, on your ankle or a hard surface. This minimizes dust getting in the air.

Finally, vacuum.

Spoken like a terrible human being.

Honestly your sketching is quite solid, you’ve obviously got a decent knowledge of anatomy. All you need is some color theory and some practice, which AI will rob you of.

Alternately you could pay a real artist to color and finish your sketches, this is how comics and many other works are traditionally done.

If you use AI, I would definitely disclose that in the description of the book, and as a consumer I would certainly be turned off by that fact. The fact that you’re using it to enhance your own art absolutely makes it better, but the finished product still isn’t really your art any more.

I discovered Shaun this year and binged most of his videos. The War On Science was this year and is great, though 4+ hours is a big commitment… Most of his other stuff is shorter.

mpv is better

Sure I’m not arguing that, but it’s framed as the noble, beleaguered EU standing up to the bully of China, which is pretty comical when you look at the big picture.

The sheer level of doublethink to label a coordinated effort by dozens of countries to force a single country to export its natural resources as “anti-coercion” is impressive.

Just use the web version on Firefox with ublock origin. Been using the free version for years. You’ll get a few seconds of dead air now and then as a few ads cycle through without playing, but it’s far from the full length that the ad break is supposed to be.
