The colorless functions approach has well-known disadvantages though, including providing less control and making interop a pain. It isn't like one approach is the correct one and another is a mistake.

A link above mentions a tool for running a.out on a modern kennel:

It is, based on Stack Overflow survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology#most-popular... Couldn't find a way to access Statista report.

It obviously varies a lot by the preferred languages, but Windows is still at the top, on average.

It's in the article, they let you now. And working on making it better.

* Large creativity software.

* Windows software development.

* Games.

* Corporate software.

Even if Windows dies now, I'll use it for 10+ years more. There's no alternative for me.

And after 10 years since the death of Windows, I'll be on Mac, not on Linux. Again, no alternative.

Now, if I was exclusively a web dev or something, I'd totally consider moving to Linux. But I'm not.

It's in the article. Microsoft has apparently added customization of the account name and is working on doing that in a more user-friendly way.

As soon as they do that, I frankly don't care whether my account is online or not. I'm using Windows Store, Edge and PIN login; I don't remove auto-updates. Sure, there's some crap to remove, but it's a matter of right-clicking on a few icons and choosing "Uninstall". And no, I don't mind clicking "no" about 5 extra times when Windows asks whether I want some garbage on my PC.

I'll spend more time tinkering with Windhawk and PowerToys than dealing with MS being greedy.

I've been using Windows since Win98. I know what for worse or better. I'm not switching now, because Windows is still the only viable option for what I need.

Gimp is still far behind. Non-destructive editing, AI selection/filters/fills, CMYK, animation/video, macro recording...

Midler v. Ford is a poor comparison for this case specifically because of: 1. hiring an impersonator 2. copying a song 3. intending to confuse.

If what OpenAI is saying is true, then none of the conditions apply. I'd say (1) is unlikely, (2) is very unlikely, and (3) is maybe, at least to some degree.

> it sounds like she had the opportunity to write herself a nice check, and she turned it down.

If I were SJ, I'd turn it down too. Shes in no need of money, and selling her voice to OpenAI would make most of creators and every single voice actor hate her (not to mention the Twitter mob).

In majority of creative circles, the current social norm is to hate AI, so touching AI in any way is too risky for reputation.

80% of the analysis is solid. "OpenAI Violated Their Own Position" — this we know and can prove, I agree.

But then asking GPT-4 for probabilities (LLM said chance of coincidence is 10%), comparing to Midler v Ford ("direct parallel"), quoting opinions of random people etc. start and it falls apart.

If I were a voice actor, I wouldn't risk sharing my name because 95% of VAs and creators in general would hate me. It's like declaring "I'm using AI to enhance my art" on Twitter, but worse.

"My closest friends and news outlets" doesn't include family. Also, depending on how you ask, it's pretty easy to get any response. I wouldn't rely on that information.

> Around one in a 100 couples with children are same sex couples, at least in the US

How many of these couples include a pregnant trans male though? I think the term "pregnant person" would be a hard sell in particular.

This sounds like a valid interpretation which doesn't outright ignore valid points made the progressives, however, by calling gender stereotypes sexist, you sound more like a gender abolitionist believing that the distinction between male and female in behavior is completely arbitrary.

This IS theoretically a valid solution to the problem, however it requires a massive change in the society as it doesn't reflect how real humans behave here and now anywhere on the planet.

The way I see it, the current solution proposed by the progressives, with treating gender stereotypes as something substantial, is a tiny bit more practical in terms of healthy coexistence (leaving contested topics like sports aside). As to whether it'll be a temporary bandaid solution and the humanity will choose gender abolitionism, I guess we'll see in 500 years.

These achievements are impressive, but I'd rather not overhype it.

* GPT-4 still hallucinates as hell, can't do math, fails as basic logic, can't handle really big contexts, hard to update, easy to jailbreak etc.

* AlphaGo was defeated by a Go amateur with a help of another AI.

* AlphaStar basically failed to achieve real goals, was trivial to cheese even after defeating high-ranked players sometimes.

All these problems are architectural, you can't just throw more money and GPUs at it like GPT-2-3-4.

It's hard to predict at this point. We may get to AGI anywhere from 5 years to 100 years.

I'd assume people producing spam at massive scale can afford paying for API where moderation is optional. GPT 3.5 Turbo is dirt cheap and is trivial to jailbreak. (Last time I checked. I'm using GPT-4 models exclusively myself.)

It's "Shocking ChatGPT news", one year later. The only difference is that "journalists" have already learned what to ask from LLMs to get clickbait headlines.

In reality, there're many posts on Twitter complaining that Grok is too "woke", which is 10x more informative than its answers about Israel and Palestine.

TL;DR of the article:

Q. If you ask Grok about recent events, does it hallucinate?

A. Yes.

Q. If you ask Grok about conspiracies, does it hallucinate?

A. Yes.

Q. OMG GROK IS PUSHING MISINFO!

A. ...

David Shapiro complained about Anthropic's approach to alignment. In his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgwpqjiKkoY he discusses ableism, moralism, lying.

As to cat-and-mouse with jailbreakers, I don't remember any thorough articles or videos. It's mostly based on discussions on LLM forums. Claude is widely regarded as one of the best models for NSFW roleplay, which completely invalidates Antropic's claims about safety and alignment being "solved."

I don't consider Anthropic's approach to safety fantastic. They train the model to lie, play cat and mouse with jailbreakers, run moderation on generations with delay etc. This makes the model appear safer, as it's harder to jailbreak, but this approach solves nothing fundamentally.

If Ilya is concerned about safety and alignment, he probably has a better chance to get there with OpenAI, now the he has more control over it.
