AGI can’t be defined as autocomplete with fact checker and instinct to survive, there’s so so so much more hidden in that “subsystems point”. At least if we go by Bostroms definition…

Sure and there’s endless AI generated blog spam from “journalists” saying LLMs are amazing and they’re going to replace our jobs etc… but get away from the tech bubble and you’ll see we’re so far away from that. Full self driving when? Autonomous house keepers when? Even self checkout still has to have human help most of the time and didn’t reduce jobs much. Call me a skeptic but HN is way too optimistic about this stuff.

Replacing all jobs except LLM developers? I’ll tell my hairdresser

I’ll be worried about jobs being removed entirely by LLMs when I see something outside of the tech bubble genuinely having been removed by one - has there been any real cases of this? It seems like hyperbole. Most people in the world don’t even know this exists. Comparing it to the internet is insane, based off of its status as a highly advanced auto complete.

If you get off the internet you'd not even realise these tools exists though. And for the statement that all jobs will be modelled to be true, it'd have to be impacting the real world.

SICP doesn't teach assignment till chapter 3 if I recall correctly, and that was used for years at MIT. I don't think it set CS back there, so maybe it was more a teaching issue?

A lisp with a lot of features built in (websites, guis, etc)

The reviews on the app are wild - people talking about loving getting paid a couple bucks for watching it all day, and that it's their new side gig. It's pretty sad, to be honest. Get outside and live life! (Or stay inside and live life, but we need to get away from this dopamine high of doom scrolling)

Cuts 10% of staff and immediately starts pushing for a $56bn pay package

I see a lot of fuzzing tools for CLI apps, but are there any good alternatives for web applications/APIs? I've used Hypothesis for generating random datas in requests but maybe there's something better out there.

Fwiw AA has been proven to work as good as clinical psychiatry. Glad you're through it but naltrexone isn't for everyone. For example, it doesn't tackle the desire to drink.

Sure you're right, but the conversation that heroin is more likely to kill you than alcohol is (or should be) obvious. However people don't seem to realise 3x more Americans die per year from alcohol overdoses than opioid overdoes or that it is the cause of 5.3% of deaths globally per year. Parents rarely buy their developing kids heroin to take to a party, and you rarely go out after work with your boss to see who can do the more lines of cocaine.

You're more likely to know someone who dies from alcohol than any other drug, if you don't already. And I say that as someone who lost a friend to heroin! So I get how bad it can be, and I get how fun alcohol can be, and how culturally accepted one is over the other, but damn alcohol is a deadly drug. Like I said in another comment, alcohol is one of two drugs you can die from withdrawals from too (the other being benzos, ironically what you get to help deal with alcohol withdrawal).

And I say this knowing I still fancy a beer after work! Because that's how ingrained this stuff is in our lives.

Alcohol causes 5.3% of deaths globally. While at an individual level alcohol is only unhealthy on average, as a society its impact is pretty significant. While some drugs are definitely worse at an individual level, access and criminality should mean they're less of an issue. If we're going by purely individual risk not taking into account other factors then 14-Methoxymetopon is 10,000 times stronger than fentanyl.

Heroin is less social than alcohol. You don't go on a date and take heroin. Because the effects don't match what you want. To be fair you don't go on a date and take cocaine really either, because you "won't work". Parties with only cocaine or heroin would suck.

But yes they are more dangerous to the individual and would be more dangerous to society if everyone decided to start overdosing heroin all the time! But they'd all die and then alcohol would be back at number one.
