  1. Because it has a meaning outside of how much effort was put in. The whole point is to question what is art.

  2. Okay so am I allowed to use computers to make Art? Is that something I am allowed to do? Or is it not allowed because I'm not a Certified Artist™ by the Art Council?

  3. I know you were joking but..in a sense, if we reach LEV (longevity escape velocity) so people have really, really long lives, the number of people who don't have a same sex relationship at some point in their life will start to fall. So it will probably be culturally normal to drop the current distinctions.

  4. Not so much joking but whining haha. I'm sick of this culture that tries to pressure me into being gay (or asexual)... I'm so glad I moved to another country where things are normal and I can be a human being. And I'm looking forward to AI fixing/replacing the sex-hating culture of the west so I can have a social life in English for the first time in my life.

  5. Crazy shit. I don’t understand the tech but imagine the ability to run your own private GPT on your phone. It’s inevitable, I suppose.

  6. Komodo dragons can't fly or breath fire. A dragon isn't just a big reptile, it's a mythical creature. Salamanders exist too, and they also aren't dragons.

  7. Is a Komodo dragon a type of dragon? Does the set of dragons contain Komodo dragons?

  8. Do not ask why didn't starship have a flame trench ask instead why ALL previous rockets had a useless wasteful flame trench when the ultra concrete slab held at 50% power during static fires and all former rockets were 50% or less power than starship.

  9. Okay hear me out... We build a tall concrete pipe, like a gun, that goes 100 meters in the air. Then all that flame pressure will shoot out the rocket with record power. This makes the best use of the flame. Zero waste.

  10. This was my original idea once GPT became a thing. Do ancient tongues and then do Whales and Dolphins.

  11. the fact that maneuvers like this are used tells me Elon is still making big decisions behind the scenes. This seems like a unilateral decision the boss makes that everybody thinks is insane but nobody brings it up.

  12. I disagree. This is a bigger win for Space X. This was much larger and twice as fast as anything NASA has ever launched.

  13. Totally agree. It took a long time for SLS to dispose of itself.

  14. super impressive considering the amount of FUDers who were saying the whole shield was going to peel off before and during MAXQ

  15. Exactly what is Starship's tile-out capability? I'm pretty sure they can't afford to lose even one. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  16. I felt like the broadcast ended abruptly. I understand that it was a scrub and there was nothing left to do, but we could still use a bit of a comedown at the end.

  17. How much "As a large langauge model..." do we get with this model?

  18. I picked other because I'm most excited about AI companions. Looking forward to the day when I never have to tolerate awful people in my mindspace!

  19. Pretty sure it was 4 out of 6, not 5 out of 7.

  20. They had a "Succeed at 4 launches, get the fifth one free" card.

  21. Technically they never reached orbit from the UK (Black Arrow launched from Australia).

  22. So basically starship is as big as possible for the same reason that panamax cargo ships are as big as possible.

  23. I'm currently working through a huge amount of prior discussion on the alignment problem so I don't have all the answers (pretty sure no one does). But my naive view at this point is that the best hope for alignment is to continually apply the most advanced available AI to the alignment problem, in the hope that it can keep up with the ever-increasing risks. my understanding is, this is OpenAI's stated plan as well. Humans are probably not capable of solving alignment ourselves. I generally think democratization is a good thing, but in the case of AI it seems likely that this will increase the speed of the takeoff (i.e. intelligence explosion). The faster that happens, the harder it will be for alignment researchers to keep up. To summarize, I think our survival depends largely on how quickly AI advances.

  24. Have you ever considered that maybe alignment is a fake problem?

  25. Yes, maybe nothing bad will happen. The same could also be said about nuclear war, or climate change, or asteroids impacting earth, or some other Great Filter-caliber threat. If you're bothered by serious discussion about these kinds of threats, then just keep scrolling.

  26. It would be nice if I could have my nice optimistic sub back. I'll have to migrate somewhere else I guess.

  27. It seems to me that x risk is of course one concern. But fundamentally eliminating millions upon millions of jobs is another one. So even if x risk is staved off, you will have a lot of unemployed people lacking purpose. That’s terrible for the human condition.

  28. You're more concerned with the end of humans needing to do things they don't want to do than with the end of humanity? Strange position but okay.

  29. Terminator scenarios depend on pretty unbelievable anthropomorphization. (I cannot be bothered to spell that word correctly on my phone and I am annoyed my phone can’t fix it.)

  30. Why do you think that the machine that is supposed to be like a human will not be like a human?

  31. "Seriously? I eat butter every day and it never hurt me. Shows you what so-called experts know."

  32. We could start making memes about the metric system. It would require either lax moderation, or a dedicated meme sub. I'd love to see memes making fun of the American system and talking about how sensible metric is. We could look at meme subs like

  33. So my current UK workplace hired me while I was still living in Australia.

  34. Probably the majority of human transportation is for the purpose of work. (Commuting, business flights, etc.) When AI takes all our jobs, that carbon cost will be gone forever. People will still find stuff to complain about though.
