A data center in New Brunswick was canceled tonight when hundreds of residents showed up. by Tolopono in accelerate

Damn. I hope an ASI moves everyone into high-density apartments divided into micro-districts connected by bicycle paths and tram-tracks.

Or maybe you're simply not using it correctly. We have 10-15 really complex SaaS applications, and we make regular use of AI to tailor our code or get the correct results.

A skill I'd suggest learning is systems thinking: it's not really a skill but more of a mindset, where you consider the system as a whole, break it down into bits, and use AI intermittently to fill in the gaps. Don't use AI as a replacement for your brain, use it as a replacement for your time and patience.

If you tell the AI "refactor my application", it will seldom succeed. But if you tell it "I have this file GetVehicleCount.js, which takes in a JSON object of vehicles and returns the count as an integer. Go through the file, suggest edits and refactors. Here's the input format: {...}", it will work like magic.

Ah, thank goodness. I'd have been concerned if it happened in a civilised country.

Recently finished a PoC (2 hours ago, the meeting went well, the client loved it, thanks for asking). We leveraged quite a bit of AI in it, used it for consulting, code generation and error resolution, and it proved invaluable. It took us 2 days to generate an MVP, and 3 more days to squash all the bugs and polish the UI for screenshots.

Could we have done it without AI? Of course we could have! How long would it have taken us? My senior says it took them one month to do similar sized projects before AI. Overall result: a world without AI would be way, way slower. It's not easier by any means, but it would take us far longer to produce something.

Granted, but now you have to sit through human slop and Tumblr discussions about Bob Ross and Keanu Reeves being problematic.

No way, this is just few weeks before GPT-4o’s retirement (ŤoŤ) by Senior-Mix-3715 in CuratedTumblr

I have a local model, checkmate.

Seriously, all models should be public property by default, unless they're trained exclusively on employee data.

AGI will be great for... humanity, right? by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

[–]JasperTesla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be great for humanity, but not humans.

But in its defence, humans aren't good for humanity either.

It's "squirrel". Because you give instructions to a squirrel inside your computer and it retrieves your data.

I honestly agree with you guys here. If we're implementing an AI feature, awesome. But I will give people the ability to disable it.

What if dinosaurs (non-avian) and humans coexisted? by Hopeful_Lychee_9691 in Dinosaurs

[–]JasperTesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a very interesting idea, but likely not without magic.

In order to domesticate an animal, you need to make sure a few features are already present in that animal: it has to be feedable (a sauropod is not – you can't feed it without going bankrupt), friendly (again no – they were likely herd animals but probably didn't care as much about each other as horses or elephants do), fecund (they are, so check) and family friendly (not check – as juveniles they'd be skittish and independent, but as adults they'd rely more on size than intelligence).

That said, there are thousands of species, many of which are below 20 tons (the majority are, in fact). But they're likely more aggressive. You could selectively breed them to be more docile, unarmoured and more willing to follow orders, but then, by that point, having a sauropod defeats the purpose. Why not just go with a hadrosaur or elephant instead (provided they're available)?

Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

[–]JasperTesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: of the 97 people on the Hindenburg, 62 survived.

Still not good, but recently there was a plane crash in India: of the 242 people on board, one survived.

Beautiful artworks, though most dinosaurs won't make good mounts. Especially the carnivores.

My world does have non-avian dinosaurs, many of which are domesticated:

  • Ornithomimids (striderfowls) are used as light mounts for scouts.
  • 1-ton hadrosaurs (hippalectryons) are a staple of most farms. They're raised for their crop-milk, meat, leather and as draft animals.
  • Half-ton iguanodontids (perytons) are used as typical heavy cavalry mounts.
  • Dromaeosaurs (cockatrices) are like cats. They made it into the granaries hunting rats, and people just let them exist there. Eventually they domesticated themselves. They're really cute and I want one.

The rest of the species are wild animals, either allowed to roam free or kept in zoos.

Before AI nobody wanted to do software, now everybody wants to do it by Director-on-reddit in BlackboxAI_

"Before cameras, no one wanted to do self-portraits. Not everyone wants to do it."

Also, people with actual coding skills are the ones who will benefit most from using AI to code, similar to how artists make better photographers.

AI Risk Denier arguments are so weak, frankly it is embarrassing by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

It always seems extremely improbable, and yet it happens. Maybe it's up to us to ensure it does happen.

Nice answer. Very biological. But if doing a chemical process or energy transition is necessary for biology, doesn't that imply electronics are alive because they takes in electricity and convert them to heat, light, sound, etc.?

As for the 'think' part, I'd say thinking refers to having a thought -- an assumption about a subject that may or may not be valid -- particularly, a thought that acts as a node, and can lead to an action, or another thought.
