Try adding some jam to them to ease the clagginess of just peanut butter.

We are the smart people from Reddit. Even if we don’t know everything, we know which way the wind is blowing.

Just add usenet on the front end there.

Does that mean we're spamming your timeline when we reply here? 😀

What a great article. First it gave me a fascinating introduction to an approach I had never heard of before, and then it got me worried about it.

One point that they didn't touch on is that one of the points of maintaining biological diversity must surely to be to maintain a diversity of behaviour. If we start to conserve wildlife by changing their behaviour, there's a danger that we start to favour working with species who are amenable to this approach. Imagine a future where biodiversity consists of an extraordinary range of breeds of canids, pigeons and rats!

Haha, -1 is the cruelest number. Much more negative than that and you can just blame the hivemind. But the fact that just a couple of people think you’re wrong makes you really want to start explaining why they’re wrong to downvote you.

I wasn’t a poster, but I will never forget the terrible secret of space. I remember lying in bed trying to read that to my partner through tears of laughter.

Any puzzly or exploring games that suddenly introduce a twitch response element. Having to successfully jump onto a sequence of 14 wildly gyrating levitating rocks to get to my next “thoughtfully re-arrange some tiles” challenge has caused me to leave so many games unfinished. Basically if I can’t deal with it by mashing every button at random, it ain’t gonna happen.

There’s going to be lots of other challengers out there. im sure every ML postgrad with any nous has spent the last couple of months contacting every funder they can track down to explain how their model is going to knock the socks off the old fashioned models used by these lumbering corporations. And even the established models have been shown to contain content obtained in violation of user licences and copyright laws, leaving them open to all sorts of legal and political challenges. They will all be scrambling now to demonstrate that they’ve got clean hands in future models.

It will be like the NFT gold rush all over again—the only sure way to get rich is to sell the shovels.

Or for the paranoid, edit then delete 😀

I think one of the issues for me is they’ve revealed in their pricing exactly how much value they think there is in all the content we have created over the years for free.

Someone suggested that their immediate business plan is to fleece all the AI developers looking at that rich history as training data for their new models. It may well be that spez and co are hoping to have a couple of crazy years of taking that cash and then bail out to leave the ruins of Reddit to the spammers, haters and bots.
