You can't show me zero of something which is why you can't divide by it. Zero is a placeholder for what we can't show which is also why negative number exist on the opposite side of it. Zero isn't a number, it too is a name.

Math is the study of futility. Futility to calculate, to understand, to define, to rationalize. 1 is the only number. Everything else is a name.

The chat interface modality is a fleeting one in the grand scheme. Billion token context windows with recursive Ai production based on development documentation and graphics is likely the next iteration.

Considering Googles progress and censorship history, I'm inclined to take their assessments with a grain of salt.

Multiple input and output processes in different languages has zero effect on associative learning and creative formulation in my estimations. We've already done studies that show there is no correlation between human intelligence and knowing multiple languages, after having to put up with decades of "Americans le dumb because..." and this is no different. The amount of discourse on a single topic has a limited degree of usability before redundancies appear. Such redundancies would necessarily increase the processing burden, which could actually limit the output potential for novel associations.

Yeah clearly, OpenAI is rocketing forward and beyond.

This reminds me of Lord of the Flies. The real version of the events turned out very differently.

Personally, language diversity should be the last thing on the list. If we had optimized every software from the get-go for a dozen languages our forward progress would have been dead in the water.

Wasn't if Phil who said something to the effect of, "If it wasn't for luck, I'd win every hand!" Which seems pretty much the thesis of this writing (though without the arrogance); ultimately resolving in, process as a better indicator of skill than results, and the best deduction of process in luck skewed results is consistency over time which essentially requires more data to deduce.

Learn how to get hit. How to absorb punches, turn them into glancing blows, and disengage grapples. Escaping is the best martial art.

Kinda hard to have a SWE sector worth protecting when its all H1B Visa applicants. You guys realize these companies have to be unable to find suitable candidates in order to import workers who will undermine labor, right? In addition, the mass influx of illegal migrant workers are reducing the otherwise buoyant wage effect of menial labor.

The idea that a mass influx of Indian workers taking top-tier STEM jobs is good for the USA is absolute self-accepted denigration of our society. But, Hacker News doesn't care, YCombinator has led the way in undermining high-end domestic labor for over a decade. Drink the Kool-Aid to get the funding, ammiright?

The truth of the premises do not require empirical evidence as you seem to require, they require the premises be true.

- Oncology is a for-profit business

- Curing customers reduces profits

- Treating customers increases profits

- Curing cancer is bad for business

Do you understand how logic works or is your brain fried by "where's the study bro..." Give me a break, man. Do you have any interest in sincerity or is your job at stake otherwise?

A cure is something that solves a health condition 100% of the time. A treatment is a prolonged procedure with only a chance of success. One is a profit generating machine, the other loses customers.

You know, a cure - like what they pretended the vaccine was that somehow was forced through the almost impossible system of medical approvals that has stalled real cancer research for decades.

Criminal charges need to be filed and class action lawsuit for fraudulent services for all the customers duped into renewing monthly services ignorant of the fact the service is not secure as plainly stated it must be in federal law.

New comment by RyanAdamas in "The Age of the Drone Police Is Here"

Fight fire with fire. Those of us who oppose mechanical oppression will do everything we can to set your dogs against you.

"The Age of Drone Police" is not acceptable, at all. Red line, for complete destabilization. The fact people on this forum seem to be nonchalant over this only shows how detached from reality everyone is becoming, mostly due to massive waves of propaganda and political bullshit creating a never ending stream of "us versus them".

When clearly the US are those subject to drone police actions, while the THEM are foreigners and the 1% who somehow get to dictate the lives we all live without physical consequence or fear.

Anyone who thinks this is just "business as usual" or the never ending procession of progress is truly lost to the world of safety and possessions.

So glad to see this guy finally outed as a complete fraud. Can't believe he was able to get as far as he did with it all being bullshit. A true testament to the power of abject lying.

Edit: Though now that I say this, considering the extent of Wrights fraud, lies and likely debts to get this far there is a very high likelihood of suicide.
