Just looked up the bright blue square on Brooklyn - it's Borough Park: "home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside Israel, with one of the largest concentrations of Jews in the United States"

Hmm! I don't think it's his policies they are against...

I lived in a properly fluoridated region and have not had any!

Ignore anecdotes kids and use statistics!

I don't think that's what they are saying. It's not that you can't now, it's that initially people did need to use a lot of data. Then they found tricks to improve training on less, but these tricks came about after people saw what was possible. Since they initially needed such data, their argument goes, and we wouldn't have been able to improve upon the techniques if we didn't know that huge neutral nets trained by lots of data were effective, then subsequent models are tainted by the original sin of requiring all this data.

As I said above, I don't think that subsequent models are necessarily tainted, but I find it hard to argue with the fact that the original models did use data they shouldn't have and that without it we wouldn't be where we are today. Which seems unfair to the uncompensated humans who produced the data set.

I think his argument is that the models initially needed lots of data to verify and validate their current operation. Subsequent advances may have allowed those models to be created cleanly, but those advances relied on tainted data, thus making the advances themselves tainted.

I'm not sure I agree with that argument. It's like saying that if you invented a cure for cancer that relied on morally bankrupt means you shouldn't use that cure. I'd say that there should be a legal process involved against the person who did the illegal acts but once you have discovered something it stands on its own two feet. Perhaps there should be some kind of reparations however given to the people who were abused in that process.

Yeah, llms aren't ai. They are just a fancy Markov model... Need controllers on top to decide when you want to make sentences and when you need to do something else. A controller could be an llm, but a llm by itself is just a tool, not a system

You would imagine there would be a clause in the contract for exactly this scenario. If there's not, it's going to be a common one in contacts going forward...

In NY state, murder of the first degree is reserved for murder against a police officer or something related. So not an average civilian

"Don't completely disapprove" might be better phrasing

This is where I get mine from: https://www.tea-and-coffee.com/buy-tea/location/assam-tea

Very reasonable, especially when you compare it to equivalent quality coffee beans. And you don't need the equipment to go with it ...

Try a single estate Assam, it's what it's made out of, but better

We are, we are, we are, we are

We are the engineers!

We can, we can, we can, we can

Demolish forty beers

Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum, drink rum

And come along with us!

'Cos we don't give a fuck about anyone else

Who don't give a fuck about us.

That's what the first engineer I ever met said, but to be fair he was a combat engineer. Those guys are scary. Stick to electronics and bridges...

Mate, you can just put your finger over the solar panel until it slowly gets strangled
