My company buys it. No idea what they use it for since I work in IT and I don't use it for anything.

They're not even fighting against fascism per se they're just asking him to obey the law. Asking people to obey the law isn't exactly a political position.

Yes. Being a parent is a matter of personal responsibility. You have to take responsibility for your sprog's behavior at least until they're of legal age.

That's what is involved in being an adult and a parent.

They don't want sapient AI either, why would they?

No one is trying for a self-aware artificial intelligence.

No we didn't, Artificial General Intelligence has been determined since the '90s.

We've always differentiated Artificial Intelligence and Artificial General Intelligence.

What we have now is AI, I don't know anyone who's claiming that it's AGI though.

People keep saying people are saying that this is AGI, but I've not seen anyone say that, not in this thread or anywhere else. What I have seen said is people saying this is a step on the road to AGI which is debatable but it isn't the same as saying this thing here is AGI.

Edit to add proof:

From Wikipedia although I'm sure you can find other sources if you don't believe me.

The term "artificial general intelligence" was used as early as 1997, by Mark Gubrud in a discussion of the implications of fully automated military production and operations. A mathematical formalism of AGI was proposed by Marcus Hutter in 2000.

So all of this happened long before the rise of large language models so no the term has not been co-opted.

To be a little nitpicky most of the AI that can play Mario kart are trained not with a reinforcement learning algorithm, but woth a genetic algorithm, which is a sort of different thing.

Reinforcement learning is rather like how you teach a child. Show them a bunch of good stuff, and show them a bunch of bad stuff, and tell them which is the good stuff and which is the bad stuff.

Genetic algorithms are where you just leave it alone, simulate the evolutionary process on an accelerated time scale, and let normal evolutionary processes take over. Much easier, and less processor intensive, plus you don't need huge corpuses of data. But it takes ages, and it also sometimes results in weird behaviors because evolution finds a solution you never thought of, or it finds a solution to a different problem to the one you were trying to get it to find a solution to.

I don't think anyone is actually claiming this is AGI though. Basically people are going around going "it's not AGI you idiot", when no one's actually saying it is.

You're arguing against a point no one's making.

You want to keep a pizza together? Ah yes my amazing concepts of sticking stuff together tells me you should add 1/2 spoons of glue

That would be a good test to ask it that question and see if it comes up with a more coherent answer.

Is that even the goal? Do we want an AI that's self aware because I thought that basically the whole point was to have an intelligence without a mind.

We don't really want sapient AI because if we do that then we have to feel bad about putting it in robots and making them do boring jobs. Don't we basically want guildless servants, isn't that the point?

I'm the same with any programming question as long as the answer is Hello World

Netflix didn't have this problem when only Netflix existed. Then they started removing content from their platform and pissed everyone off so people started pirating because they wanted their content back.

Then a bunch of other streaming services started and Netflix didn't really do anything to make their product more attractive, so those streaming providers ended up getting more content. Then Netflix cut back on their own unique content, which was their main drive in the first place (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, And yes I know it was terrible, but Discovery). So now I have to have 35 different subscriptions if I want to be 100% legit.

Right and presumably you need to be a trust fund kid and never actually have to go to work?

Well so what's new porn got to do with literally anything?
