A few days ago Sergey Brin said "We don't circulate this too much in the AI community – not just our models but all models – tend to do better if you threaten them … with physical violence"
This reminds me of that funny detail in a YouTube video by “Programmers are also human” on professional vibe coders where he keeps ending his orders to the LLM with “.. or you go to jail.”
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I would like .COM domains to ~ 1000$ per year. As these domains are intended (and actually are) used for COMmercial ventures, the sum should be low enough to not be a burden on even a small real business, but be high enough to not be economically viable for squatting.
I've had this idea that reproduction studies in one's C.V should become a sort of virtue signal, akin to philanthropy among the rich. This way, some percentage of one's work would need to be reproduction work or otherwise they would be looked down upon, and this would create the right incentive to do go.
Did you download from the link on this page? [1] That should download the v0.1.1 build. So long as you install it with admin privileges and ignore the security warnings, it shouldn't have an issue.
In case it doesn't work still, I'd suggest trying to build from source. I wouldn't be surprised if your machine is an edge case for Windows that I missed.
parent comment was a bit tounge-in-cheek but I'll continue the sentiment: You're saying that the curiosity is "natural" hence one is either born with it or not. I think that there is no way around the fact that it will be hard and uncomfortable to mimic the progress of someone that has an innate inclination towards a subject (be it talent or focus or curiosity) artificially.
Hey, that doesn't have to be what "natural curiosity" means. Besides which it makes no sense to say people are born with complex interests. I mean, OK, your genes might incline you a certain way, but that's not the same thing.
Being interested in a subject is massively helpful to learning it. But interest arises circumstantially, it's an emotion. The grim reality that it would be really useful to you to learn a certain subject does not necessarily make you interested in the subject, unfortunately. (Perhaps "financially interested", but that's something else.)
I think there is some natural inclination towards abstract thinking versus more grounded in reality, just judging based on kids I know. Some of them really enjoy playing with ideas in their heads, some enjoy playing with things they can touch more. It seems likely that those different attractions would express themselves in how much they practice different things as time goes on.
I was talking about curiosity in general not curiosity about something in particular. We are naturally inquisitive to the point we have to be restrained by our parents. The problem is some of the restraints are based on the fears of our parents and not on actual dangers. Also, it's hard to develop an appreciation for something when it's forced fed to you.
> You're saying that the curiosity is "natural" hence one is either born with it or not.
Why does curiosity being natural necessarily mean some people are born without it? It could also mean everyone (or every average human) is born with it, and overtime it gets pushed out of people.
I think the case you mentioned is explained by an idea covered in attachment theory. Children explore when they feel safe and secure. Safety and security come from the caregivers, the parents. When that is absent, because the parents' emotional state makes the children feel insecure, then the children are restrained by their own emotions.
I know that I'm in the minority, especially here, but I generally welcome paying with my data. it seems to me that companies need to generate revenue and they do this by extracting something of value from the user and that this thing by definition almost would be something the user isn't happy to just hand over: money, watching ads, electricity for mining crypto, personal data etc. It's some form of payment.
for me personally out of all these options giving my data is my least painful payment option for one off services.
I don't know...
It's like claiming that Samsung "enhanced their phone camera abilities" when they replaced zoomed-in moon shots with hi-res images of the moon.
I think that's meaningfully different. If you ask for chess advice, and get chess advice, then your request was fulfilled. If you ask for your photo to be optimized, and they give you a different photo, they haven't fulfilled your request. If GPT was giving Go moves instead of Chess moves, then it might be a better comparison, or maybe generating random moves. The nature of the user's intent is just too different.
Just to clarify: The photos and audio collection isn't related to the mentioned security flaws. These are two separate issues.
