It still has perfect clicks every time.

Censorship is a problem when you are not free to express an idea.

The form of the idea can be limited without it being censorship: for example, you can't protest with a bullhorn in the middle of the night.

Free speech doesn't mean everyone has to listen to you, it means the people who want to listen to you are able to. Youtube demonetizing a video is not censorship. Removing videos because they don't like the ideas in the videos is the worst kind of censorship, because they are trying to control you.

Yeah, the anti-hacking law is over-broad but makes "knowingly accesses" an important aspect:

If you didn't knowingly hack the computer, apparently it's not illegal (unless it's fraud or causes other damage or something).

It's not hard to make a computer that is unbeatable in Starcraft, because the computer can click perfectly every time. According to your link:

So yeah, that kind of clicking (and maybe perfect information, or maybe not) gives the computer a massive advantage, it doesn't even need a neural network to win.

False.

Censorship is bad. There are ways to moderate trolls, spam, and misinformation that don't involve censorship. We've seen that censorship serves to promote conspiracy theories (because it actually is a conspiracy.)

What odds do you give that the reflecting pool will be fixed before he leaves office?

That's not the issue - insurance companies have no problem giving insurance to humans which have "individual learning capabilities."

The problem is that while insurance companies can extract compensation from humans - essentially they can coerce the humans to work "for them" to pay them back - they can't get compensation from the AI, and there isn't a good framework to get compensation from the AI developers.

The issue isn't that the AI learns - the issue is that our legal framework doesn't have a good way to get "compensation" from errant AI - because the AI itself doesn't care if it gets shut off. You can't hold the AI itself "liable" like you can a person. So until we change the liability framework, we'll be stuck. This isn't a technical problem, so much as a social one.

Meta/Multiverse was a propaganda tool, not an important technology. Timeline:

1) Facebook stopped making new things, pursuing enshittification as the primary strategy.
2) Facebook pissed off Democrats with Cambridge Analytics, and pissed off Republicans with censorship.
3) Doesn't matter how much of that was true, both parties were pissed off and threatening regulation/antitrust at Facebook in a bipartisan way.
4) Facebook promised COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY and name change. They also scaled up political donations in a bipartisan way.
5) The threats largely went away.
6) The COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY went away.

My favorite thing to do in an empty parking lot is to separate hydrogen from oxygen then rejoin it very quickly.

I admit I did not know about the Getty connection.

He might get away with it if he smiles more (it worked for Trump). I haven't seen him flash a non-sarcastic smile since COVID. Some mysterious sadness has infected the man.

The core of the problem is all these politicians are obsessively looking for someone to hate. It doesn't matter if it's based on race, or trans, or gingerness, or whatever. They choose someone to effectively bully, and a good 30% of the country goes along with it as the latest target. (Some go along with it because they like to hate on others, and some go along because they don't want to be bullied).

If we can stop doing that, the oligarchy will effectively lose their power.

They had the LLM steer the car using a kind of programming language, with function calls that look like this:

They translated those functions into input for some aftermarket car controlling hardware, which looks kind of cool but I didn't know was a thing.

I couldn't figure out from their report how they returned data back to the LLM, but apparently they pasted images and telemetry into the chat window every so often, or something like that.

Nah, America has become a reality TV nation.

We have zero chance of getting a competent president, for the same reason that the most skillful competitors never won Survivor.

Newsom comes across as bitter, though. He's a nepo candidate, never having won a particularly competitive race. He needs a little positivity. A positive slogan like, "Hope and Prosperity" or "High Time for Change" or "Change for High Time" or something.

That made me laugh.
