Good point - also quite possible!

This agreement reads to me as Microsoft belatedly realizing that OpenAI is not a reliable authority on the status of AGI and wanting to claw back OpenAI’s exclusive ability to end their business partnership via the “it’s alive!” clause.

(Agreed that the panel is absurd.)

Really appreciate your reflections here, but AOC is using the term correctly and in alignment with your point. Stochastic refers to a non-deterministic system: One statement doesn’t directly cause violence. But a statement can raise the overall risk of violence, which plays out over time.

We listened to this on the drive through Glacier and wow.

Haha I was scrolling and the image got my attention. Before seeing who posted it I thought, ooo I bet B will go to that

This is great reporting. Thank you for pushing back on such misleading claims.

As a cognitive scientist, I was so frustrated that my field leaned into saying brain regions “light up.” That's not only a misleading confusion of data visualization with actual neural activity; it also obscures that the visualization reflects analyses that subtract the (extensive) baseline activity

ooo, thanks for the tip! I had not seen this, but I dig indeed. Nice to see the collaboration with Youth/Martin Glover continue.

Thanks! Excited to check these out

This sounds great. Where would you suggest to start exploring?

This doesn’t work, as @tabouchadi.bsky.social wrote about again this weekend in re: 🇪🇺 mainstream parties & immigration: verfassungsblog.de/aus-dem-abse.... It backfires & makes the far right stronger. Democrats in 🇺🇸 need to get it together & stop defaulting to this bad strategy.

It’s so gooood! Also, I can’t stop queuing up Skinny Puppy’s Knowhere? to play after Pazuzu’s Valotus. I think you’ll enjoy the pairing!

This, like their last, is pure ear candy to me! Enjoying these new sounds, too

woah! super duper stoked

Herndon engages directly with ethical considerations of AI use, but the NBHS company also has a product that scrapes the web for music, separates audio stems, and uses that in a generative AI music production application. So...

I'd love to learn more and am not sure what I think. I also dug around -- the AI sound company also contributed to Holly Herndon's voice model, and the "modelled on" credit mentions both the cuckoo voice actor and Herndon. So maybe ran the actor's voice through the Herndon model?

This resonates strongly with me. Well put!
