I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now, but if I wrote a book with someone like this guy as the biblical antichrist people would say it was way too on the nose.

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).
I originally read the title as “it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study” but it appears it’s actually “it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries.”
I keep forgetting that that’s an option
As you can see, they never will. You must seize the wig.
Well it worked the first time around…
Seems like a good thing to massively protest.
The problem with hearing when a note isn’t right is that by the time you hear it you’ve already played it…
As someone who could never get used to just kinda eyeballing where a note is supposed to be, I strongly disagree about the trombone.
It’s embarrassingly cheap to buy a member of the US Supreme Court.
Well now how am I supposed to enjoy the sensation of someone else’s sweaty hand sliding down the pole to slowly touch mine while they remain oblivious of the entire situation?
It makes sense if you assume it’s actually targeted at managers who want their employees to be in three meetings at once.
I mean, it would probably be a good opportunity for a handful of really rich people to further their control and ownership globally…so as long as our billionaire overlords value human life over their own personal power we should be good.
This would explain the other article I saw about a US-Clooney $20 billion arms deal.
These people are so fucking stupid…
Overall job satisfaction among U.S. employees increased a modest 0.4 percentage points in 2023 from the year prior, according to the Conference Board’s annual Job Satisfaction survey released this month. A 62.7% majority of respondents reported being content at work last year, the highest share since the survey began in 1987.
But that record doesn’t tell the whole story: Worker sentiment fell across all 26 subcomponents of job satisfaction measured in the poll, which collected responses online from 1,699 working U.S. adults in November.
Wat?
No clue? Somewhere between a few years (assuming some unexpected breakthrough) or many decades? The consensus from experts (of which I am not) seems to be somewhere in the 2030s/40s for AGI. I’m guessing accuracy probably will be more on a topic by topic basis, LLMs might never even get there, or only related to things they’ve been heavily trained on. If predictive text doesn’t do it then I would be betting on whatever Yann LeCun is working on.
Perhaps there is some line between assuming infinite growth and declaring that this technology that is not quite good enough right now will therefore never be good enough?
Blindly assuming no further technological advancements seems equally as foolish to me as assuming perpetual exponential growth. Ironically, our ability to extrapolate from limited information is a huge part of human intelligence that AI hasn’t solved yet.
GPT-2 came out a little more than 5 years ago, it answered 0% of questions accurately and couldn’t string a sentence together.
GPT-3 came out a little less than 4 years ago and was kind of a neat party trick, but I’m pretty sure answered ~0% of programming questions correctly.
GPT-4 came out a little less than 2 years ago and can answer 48% of programming questions accurately.
I’m not talking about mortality, or creativity, or good/bad for humanity, but if you don’t see a trajectory here, I don’t know what to tell you.
This is very much the type of case that settles out of court for an undisclosed amount of money.
It’s got flavah
