Probably the next code that it outputs will be:

Hacks the DOJ.

Dot: I'm finished! Here you are! Aren't I a good dot?

AC: Holy fuck, how'd you do that?

FBI kicks down door.

both sides.

Found your problem.

That doesn't seem like an improvement.

A serious country? Now I know you ain't serious.

Not just the testing process. We've decided that leaving junk in orbit to reenter randomly is no longer acceptable so you have to demonstrate to a high degree of confidence that you're going to be able to reenter on target before you're allowed to go orbital. Starship in particular is gigantic, made out of steel and designed to survive reentry. If that were screwed up it would be a lot worse than the just-barely-enough-to-do-the-job that most rockets are made of.

My Walmart is worse than that. They didn't have any price tags at all. Just video screens with AI avatars of a guy in baggy pants sitting cross-legged on a rug.

When I walk by, he says "Look at my cotton swabs! I offer you the best cotton swabs in the land!"

I say: "Well, how much to they cost?"

He squints at me, looks me up and down for a long while, then says: "For you........ I give to you seven hundred and fifty swabs for two pieces of silver only. Believe me when I say you will search this entire kingdom and not find a better deal!"

Stop reading tech news?

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to. The three possibilities:

1) The training is distilling their own model? Yes, I guess you could argue that. It's even dumber than the argument about distilling other peoples' models though.

2) The contractor using a third party model to evaluate the output of the contracting company's model: yeah, you could argue that's distilling. That's on the contractor who's not doing what they're supposed to be though.

3) Or did you mean you're distilling the contractors' brains? You are doing that yes. That's explicitly what they're getting paid for.

A Merkle Tree is not a tree of hashes. Unless you want to say, hashkeys are sorted in a Merkle Tree as a set of hashes.

I have no idea what you're trying to say with this.

I did reread your original message and, minus the bullshit at the beginning, if your point is that Bitcoin's transaction tracking is novel, it's not. It was proposed by Hal Finney in 2004. Satoshi neglects to reference it.

I was also incorrect. Bitcoin didn't come up with the hash based proof of work concept either. That's reference 6.

They probably never dreamed big companies would put these cheap boards in everything.

I'd be surprised if they didn't. Industrial computers were stupidly priced before the Raspberry Pi. Lots of them still are. And industrial customers care much more about whether the drivers work than whether they're open source.

"Word-guessing?" How does this naive notion persist?

It's true. Kind of. Just enough to make a catchy false premise.

Also, the human brain is barely comfortable with binary. It does not like probability, much less distributions. It especially doesn't like conditional distributions.

They don't need contractors for that

They do need contractors for that. That's what the contractors are doing. The model produces a couple of outputs and a human chooses which one they think is better. That goes in the training data. You can also ask the same or another model which is better, but that defeats the purpose.

I see your joke but actually moving waste to port via truck or train is a thorny issue. Nobody wants it moved on their roads or across their rails.

The conversation only seems unnatural because they didn't use the right avatar.

If you choose the "Max Headroom" avatar, then everything will look and feel exactly as you would expect. Moreover, the dystopian vibe he gives off will be a perfect fit with the current state of the world.
