I do wonder about some people's critical thinking skills. If you are connected to a VPN obviously you are connected to whatever monitoring system your company has set up. Use a brain and use a different device.

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

If all you said to me was open an image and invert it, I would probably turn it upside down as well. What are you trying to get it to do?

That's on them though. The other ones making the claim that it's supposed to be The Culture, but I don't think anyone at the companies is saying that it is.

Reminds me of the time that I took down the corporate website by translating the entire website into German. I'd been asked to do this but I hadn't realized that the auto translation Plug-In actually rewrote code into German, I thought it was just going to alter the HTML with JavaScript at runtime, but nope. It actually edited the files.

It also translated the password into German which was fun because it was just random characters so I have no idea what it translated into.

Why have you blanked out bits of the article?

I've had this argument with them a few times at work. They are definitely going to replace this all with AI. Probably within the next year and no amount of us pointing out that it won't work and they'll end up having to bring us back, at 3x the rate, seems to have any effect on them.

I'm probably going to have to listen to a lot of arguments about this strawberry thing tomorrow.

Anyway whatever, severance is severance.

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 hide the thought steps to mask this fact and to prevent others from benefiting from all of the finetuning data they paid for.

Well possibly but they also hide the chain of thought steps because as they point out in their article it needs to be able to think about things outside of what it's normally allowed allowed to say which obviously means you can't show the content. If you're trying to come up with worst case scenarios for a situation you actually have to be able to think about those worst case scenarios

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

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

I work in computer science but not really anything to do with AI so I'm only adjacently knowledgeable about it. But my understanding is unfortunately, no not really. The problem would be that if you run a bunch of evolutions in parallel you just get a bunch of independent AIs, all with slightly different parameters but they're incapable of working together because they weren't evolved to work together, they were evolved independently.

In theory you could come up with some kind of file format that allowed for the transfer of AI between each cluster, but you'd probably spend as much time transferring AI as you saved by having multiple iterations run at the same time. It's n^n problem, where n is the number of AIs you have.
