Comment Re:IQ predicts a *lot* of things (Score 2) 110

I always found it odd that we can widely acknowledge border collies are the smartest dog. Pugs are the dumbest. Put bulls the most violent. Chihuahua the most neurotic. All compatible with each other sexually... But humans don't work like that --- At all... Not one bit, nope! Don't look. Nothing to see here.

Comment Re:Is it copying their work though? (Score 0) 102

So every news station that reports "The New York Times today said XYZ" should fall in the same bucket because they are doing the SAME THING... They are reading their content and parroting parts of it to their audience. How is this any different? If OpenAI sited the NYT would that be better?

Comment Is it copying their work though? (Score 1, Interesting) 102

It seems to me like AI is just sort of 'ingesting' content, internalizing it, and building its world view based on it... Just like a person would. No word for word copying is going on (otherwise the model would be many many terabytes)... So IMHO this should be dismissed, plain and simple.

Some may ask "Why climb the highest mountain?" "Why, 35 years ago, did we cross the Atlantic?"

We do these things not because they are easy, but because the are hard. Because that challenge is one we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win..."

How, exactly, is he killing Social Security? Please explain to me without using hyperbolic language. As far as I can tell it's more like a pruning of Social Security. But please so let me know how many 150 year olds you think aught to be collecting SS. What's the right number. How many liars on disability is the right number? Go ahead I'll wait.

Comment Re:Expel them... (Score 1) 241

Well, consider that cheaters are consuming space in an already expensive market, overcrowded by poor students who's only qualification is they have money. People think colleges are hard to get into... BS. You have money, you get in.. So letting in people who don't deserve to be there by their own laziness can go right to the curb. Get them out, college numbers drop, and in the process becomes smaller and cheaper. IDK, that's my idea anyway.
