And I guess all the Semitic languages that inherited the alphabet kept the names as well, but the words, sigils, and letter names each drifted independently?

I mean, if it's argument about the actual points made, then I object to portraying that as negative at all! Like, that's what discussion *means*; it's sacred and wonderful.

But if we're talking criticizm of motives etc, then it makes sense to leave smol beans alone

I have read that the letters were originally understood as pictures of the objects named. Is this considered established, speculative, or wrong? If true, in what language would this have been the case?

No, under socialism you'd have to actually do what he said...

Ofc "usefulness" is not the same thing as power either. But it is the most undeniable proof of ability right now, because real-world use can't be gamed like benchmarks

It's relevant because their usefulness destroys the "stochastic parrot" narrative. An entity this powerful is obviously *something* outside of our old categories

This New Yorker article is a major shift of the Overton window, no? Discussing "AI selfhood" unironically, in a mainstrean, non-techie venue? Of course it sounds completely bonkers to ppl who aren't familiar. And also very scary, correctly so

They're not "pretending"; they sincerely think they do have feelings. Illusionism is true for them.

And this is the last year in which it will work. Next year everything will be assumed AI

I think most R voters simply don't believe it. They think ICE is doing normal law enforcement and that all the bad stories are lies or distortions. Epistemic learned helplessness that falls back to tribe-based priors

Huh, maybe *your* grandmother. Mine would be a trolley car, like all the other wheeled grandmothers

I'm confused about the timeline. This law was passed in 2019? Has it been enforced since then? Did something new happen now?

Who has been making these never beating the never beating the allegations allegations allegations?

Are those both real things?

In Jewish tradition this is called being the Nachshon. He was the first to step into the Red Sea in faith of divine rescue, and the rest followed him, which triggered the miracle

The delicious schadenfreude of a well-deserved dunk is not a good use of attention?!

Are you trying to prtect the dunkee, or to exclude them from attaining undeserved fame?

The 2024 primary?! The R primary voters absolutely wanted him; it was never a contest.

אם אתה קופץ מתחנת החלל אתה לא נופל, רק מתרחק ממנה אט אט

למקרה שרצית תשובה רצינית: אין חומר שחזק מספיק וגם קל מספיק בשביל שזה לא יקרוס תחת המשקל שלו. בעבר היו חלומות לייצר חומר כזה מ-carbon nanotubes אבל זה די נכשל

And now nobody can figure out whether the artist was part of the simulation

That was with GPT-2

Would it be good to be in a place that doesn't exist?

1. Canonical QG (e.g. Witten's quantization of aAdS)
2.Asymptotic safety (tiny niche that others don't understand; should be a standard question)
3. Creation of DOFs by transplanckian modes moving down due to expansion
4. What SFT has to say about spacetime structure
5. Rigorous mathematical QFT

וואו, ג'מיני ניחש מתוך התיאור את המיקום המדוייק?! כמה בתי קפה יש שם על הנהר?

I mean it's not so weird; city ppl are more cosmopolitan and absorb more of global culture. Ergo less nationally distinct

אבל לפחות הפצצה על ידי איטלקים יש להם במשותף

Just make sure it keeps working on that one in the background

TBF he probably thinks it's some lame promotion by Anthropic, rather than the AI itself automomously thanking him
