the throughline is the comparison, trump is very obviously not better, directly worse in fact. it didnt even take one day for that to be true, but the fascist despots get credit for helping each other apparently forever now for the most blatant politikking.

i am aware nobody has proven pi is normal.

isnt, qed

op’s question was focued very clearly on pi, but sure.

“ok fine consider a number that still isn’t pi, it still holds.” ??

then it’s not relevant to the question as it is not pi.

“please consider a number that isnt pi” so not relevant, gotcha. it does not answer the original question, this new number is not normal, sure, but that has no bearing on if pi is normal.

that number is no longer pi… this is like answering the question “does the number “3548” contain 35?” by answering “no, 6925 doesnthave 35. qed”

it’s not a good example because you’ve only changed the symbolic representation and not the numerical value. the op’s question is identical when you convert to binary. thir is not a counterexample and does not prove anything.

awful systems is full of toxicity but they are not wrong on this. your comments there specifically fail to address the context (“ai in general” but pivot to ai is very specifically discussing the current ml methods used by these companies, especially llm). this sort of off topic posting is likely why you were percieved the way you were.

In addition, AI safety (what you put forward) is conceptually a scapegoat to avoid realistic and immediate harms from ai hype and related tech industry nonsense. the sorts of what ifs you pose largely rely on magical thinking to the benefit of companies who continue grifting and rotting everything they touch in the meantime. It also serves to imply capabilities to these technologies that are unreasonable, often absurd, and feeds into the grift. this is the exact topic the article is about, in fact.

Anyway, deprogramming the sci fi notion of ai singularity in these contexts is frought and drawn out. if all you are looking for is to keep arguing with awful systems folks, go find a better use of your time.

to the people reading: for most people unless your sense of hydration is deficient, often due to age, just drink when you’re thirsty. fixing chronic fatigue has no one simple answer, it’s a symptom with lots of possible causes.

“it’s not oversimplified, oversimplifies and strawmans” lol

or want a pixel, or want to buy a new phone. the insistence on pixel support only is frustrating.

there is not a single thing that could wipe out a deep sea habitat that wouldnt also wipe any space colonies. but i dont see anybody arguing for that, despite being far more achievable and practical. also, there is no feasible way for space colonies to be self sufficient anywhere in the near future, so wiping out earth also wipes out space colonies relying on it for supplies. this argument aboOt survivability is absurd.

perhaps you could read the article, but the jist is that in this economic system the good product was so good that people bought it and then sales dried as nobody needed another, rendernng the company bankrupt.

also the answer to that question, shitloads of data for a better ai, is yes… with logarithmic returns. massively underpriced (by cost to generate) returns that have questionable value statement at best.

programmer linguistigs is certainly something to behold.

sorry are you saying people should pronounce their own names in ways they don’t prefer to be “correct”? Also etc etc language guides are descriptive not prescriptive.

If they can target the underlying architecture of the models like nightshade does, it will actually be quite hard to deal with for the surveillance companies.

Datas is correct if you are referring to multiple distinct populations of data. Which in this case works.
