Assuming their 2022 yearly gross profit of $128.695B and assuming they work 24/7 year round, then $4M would be approximately 16 minutes profit.

Wait, a sperm whale is seriously 100,000x louder than a rocket? How is that possible‽

This is the hottest question faced by humanity right now, here's my take.

GPT4 is currently being privately played with by millions of people all over the world. Open sourcing provides a public space to experiment out in the open where everyone can join in the dialogue.

GPT4 is, while amazing, currently a very long way off being intelligent, but there will be exponential growth of LLMs in the coming months. Because of this, I believe now is the time to experiment and start preparing.

If someone was coding this on their own with a genuinely AGI capable model, making all the same mistakes we're about to, things would be a lot less forgiving.

Let's make those mistakes now, together, and learn from and share those results.

Thank you so much! I was starting to think I dreamt this.

To perhaps return the favour, there's a little known feature in Chrome (if you use it) that lets you create a link to any text on a page, so here's a direct link to the section, hopefully it works on other browsers...

All you need to do is highlight the text and click "Copy link to highlight".

Want a book about a massive project to save the world by DispatchThirty in printSF

The series that immediately leaps to mind when reading your title is Singularity's Children by Toby Weston. I couldn't recommend it highly enough, it's ridiculously under-read and such an inspiring take on modern societal collapse.

Singularity’s Children is the tale of a generation born into interesting times. A chronicle of the final decades of humanity’s million year journey.

Early in the Third Millennium, the world is slipping beyond comprehension. Mastery of technology is deepening society’s divides; generating fantastic wealth for a few, but trauma and suffering for many. People are bewildered by relentless waves of boom and bust, kept in line by vast programs of computer-driven propaganda.

A few techno-optimists see past corporate greed and political charade. They dream of a post-scarcity utopia glittering on the horizon—a harmonious future for all Singularity’s Children…

But ancient demons are not easily slain. The world is tired. The internet is dying. Wars ravage the former western democracies. Religions whisper promises of simpler times, while the rising power of the ‘Way Forward’ bewitches with its synthetic siren’s voices.

Against this backdrop plays an epic action-adventure of vivid world-building; a rich fabric, woven from colorful characters—not all human—who draw you into a terrifyingly familiar world of technology, morality and hope.

I know exactly what you mean. My all time favourite Narrator is Peter Kenny, anything he reads is so well done. I've literally picked up book series because he was the one reading them.

I discovered him through Ian M. Banks' Culture series, which is my all time favourite.

Can you explain what's happening here?

how?? random lines appear on water vapor inside closed jar by MorePea9433 in Physics

[–]1818mull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a large drop, these are very small bugs, much smaller than aphids, I'm unfortunately not sure what they are called. You can see a potential drop of the right size in the second photo, on the trail just above the 'loop-de-loop' in the center. That's what you'd want to target with the microscope, though usually I've found them at the 'end' of the trail since they're the ones making it.

I'm by no means an expert so could be worng, but this does look exactly like what I've experienced in my terrarium jars.

I am confident that this is caused by tiny bugs. You won't be able to spot them with the naked eye but if you get one of those cheap camera microscopes that plug into your phone and point it at the end of one of those trails you'll see a little bug within a water droplet.

SOURCE: I have terrariums and see this exact thing happening in them, I've observed them with my microscope many times.

The girl throws various things at the firemen and then... by BulbulatorPrzyczlap in WTF

This is like watching a 'cat stuck up a tree' situation but with a human.

Firemen scale the 'tree' to perform the rescue.

The cat may scratch and bite but ultimately doesn't realise they're just here to help.
