Multimodality seems to just help with everything

Indeed, I'm just surprised.

Maybe the people who could take advantage of these markets are just not sufficiently aware of their existence.

I predict that in 5 years "who wins Survivor" will be completely dead though, because the markets will have become common knowledge and there'll be enough people willing to violate their NDAs/whatever for the money.

It's astonishing how much more readable Tao's version of it is.

Yes but in this case, tens or hundreds of people know the outcome months in advance. I'm very surprised that the market doesn't immediately converge to 100% for one candidate. The winner is not really a forecastable 'random event' in that by the time the show is airing, it's not being pulled from a distribution.

Why are OpenAI so keen to start calling things AGI?

Isn't there some corporate/legal shenanigans where they become a real non-profit at that point? Or does it just let them cut Microsoft and other investors out?

There's got to be a business reason for it unrelated to the model capabillities.

This is a really good proof of concept. I would use this.

Something about the moment of the turn itself isn’t working for me though. Just before the turn you have essentially no information about the route ahead, until after the turn is completed. This would make a sequence of consecutive turns difficult to navigate.

We know you’re generating comments with an LLM even when you remove capital letters.

Do mention your product when it’s relevant, but just make it human, please

De-anonymisation for one.

But more generally, if I’m the sort of person who would allow this I’d probably allow some other stupid permissions if they promised me something novel on the other side.

I’m going to get pwned one of these days, considering my threshold for giving a random website access to my webcam is apparently mild curiosity and entertainment for 30s.

It’s more that it just came out of nowhere. I agree with you that competition with the US on AI is net good, but by presenting lots of (imo) unrelated points I can’t just endorse the comment. And I’m not here to debate partisan talking points or speculate on why Europe isn’t participating in the AI race.

How do you think sleep scientists got their data in the first place? Some of them went to Tanzania.

Maybe not in isolation, but if you call the UK and England both countries in the same conversation you’re going to be met with confusion.
