No, OpenAI heard about a pair of researchers who were getting close to solving the problem and spent $22M on compute power to scoop them.

Even more concerningly, the researchers had been using OpenAI’s codex model in their earlier work, meaning that OpenAI’s model may have literally directly trained from and ripped off their work.

Yeah, I broke my hand and was unable to grip stuff, you start noticing real the difference real fast. Also why 90% of the videos of cats opening doors are doors with lever style handles.

This is him narrating the Devil in the white city right?

Whenever someone starts a story with something like

“can you believe this maddening thing I saw online?”

all I hear is

“can you believe I got outraged using the outrage machine?”

The best time may have been yesterday, but the second best time is today.

Or you know, the government could just match Chinese industry subsidies so they’re competing on level playing fields.

China’s government is using government power to invest in critical and necessary industries that benefits everyone, like renewables and EVs, driving down their costs.

The US instead spends it’s money investing in fossil fuel companies, and letting billionaires hoard it, and then complains when Chinese EVs are cheaper. You’re the richest fucking country in the world. Stop fucking whining and start using your wealth to produce competitive EVs. It’s not that fucking complicated.

The problem is that it specifies both a purpose

• To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts

and a mechanism by which to do so

• by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

The purpose is great, the mechanism is dogshit in the 21st century, as it just lazily crams information into capitalism rather than adapting capitalism to the realities of information.

The problem is that capitalism is a system entirely based around things that are scarce, and it only functions in that context. Air for instance is completely free and valueless, even though it’s wildly critical, just because it is abundant. In capitalism things don’t have value when they are useful or needed, just when they are scarce.

That works fine-ish when you mostly deal in physical goods, because the way that energy and mass scale means that they are somewhat inherently scarce, it takes just as much mass/energy to make a second copy as the first. Information blows this apart though, starting with the written word, escalating with the printing press, and being oblitered in the digital connected age, as information does not scale like energy / mass and as a result it has become trivial to infinitely copy and distribute information, making it abundant the moment it’s digitized.

So now you have the Constitution enshrining mechanisms that enforce scarcity where there is absolutely no need for scarcity.

They are literal bodybuilders and that is obvious to everyone who looks at them.

What the fuck kind of proof are you expecting? A a video diary of every meal ever consumed?

Exercising is the easy part of body building. Eating and sleeping well enough is the hard part.

Lmfao, no they didn’t, you misunderstood the difference in recommended intakes for maintenance (/kg) vs gaining muscle / slowing it’s atrophy in old age (/lb).

1lb of LEAN body mass is still a shit ton of protein to have to try and squeeze in. For your average adult man that’s the equivalent of 5-7 scoops of protein powder, or like ~1.5lb of chicken breast, every single day.

You’re not getting that unless you’re going out of your way to.

But dumbasses think protein is only in meat. Internet thinks protein = meat.

No, the vast majority of bodybuilders and gym bros use whey protein powder which is dairy based.

Also, if we’re talking normal food, you have to eat 6 full cans of beans to get the same protein as 1lb of chicken or fish. Meat is not the only way to get protein but the fact of the matter is that for most people (assuming they ignore the morals and ethics) it’s gonna be easier and tastier to get a substantial amount of protein from meat.

And let’s just ignore colon cancer rates in <30 coincident with the protein fad.

Lmfao thanks random internet person for your rough feeling of correlation. Glad no actual researcher would have ever possibly thought to check that in their study! /S

Lmfao at this whole thread of nonsense answers.

It’s not a weird obsession.

If you want to be muscular, then you need to eat a lot of protein.

If you want to be muscular and have a low body fat percentage, then you need to eat a lot of protein, and eat a lot of protein / calorie you eat.

If you’re old and want to slow down how quickly your muscles waste away to maintain your physical health, you need to eat a lot of protein.

And protein is generally one of the more expensive parts of food, so companies constantly try and cut back and replace it with carbs and sugar instead… All leading to people seeking out food with high protein content

That’s how much you need to eat when you’re trying to actively gain muscle, not just maintain your current amount.

And quite frankly, either put on that much muscle or kindly accept that they may have a point.

Its not because of obsession, it’s because it’s literally the starting point for nutrition knowledge, and it’s the most obvious thing that would be lacking in a vegan diet. When people think substantial protein they think meat first and dairy and eggs second.

Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

Try and be less American.

If it discourages people from owning guns or getting into guns as a hobby, then it makes society overal safer.

1. Is a completely different question that has absolutely zero to do with disc based games, and the answer to that question is readily available in the form of Right To Repair legislation.

By not living in the US, stopping reading American news, and focusing on improving the small slice of the world that I can.

Top AI researchers should go fuck themselves right to hell for handwaving away and ignoring the inherent problems with their work while plowing ahead full steam so they can get personally rich.
