sorry, what exactly is the dilemma here? how is it an ethical dilemma to have an unethical way to make money?

I'm guessing what's being said is that in this fictional scenario with an ethically neutral prediction market, you could do insider trading but with fake news? Like, you predict that they will find cheese on the moon, and then you make a story about cheese on the moon.

Either way, it is a moot point since prediction markets are bunk, ethically or otherwise.

Nah my neighbour, Steve Tesla. He’s real smart. Found a way to get free cable

This is great. The “diaspora” framing makes me want there to be an NPR style public interest story about all this. The emotional core would be about trying to find a place to belong and being betrayed by the people you thought could be your friends, or something.

It’s my pleasure!

That’s the power of not saying anything interesting, you can’t contradict it

We’ve actually already done that. KFC can’t legally call itself kentucky fried chicken anymore because they don’t serve “chicken”. Instead it’s a GMO non-chicken animal that fits all the criteria you mentioned. Open your third eye

Ah yeah the folding mechanism which just appeared one day out of nowhere, invented by nobody for no reason.

I’ve said what I said came here to say. Meanwhile, you haven’t said anything at all.

AI is a garbage generating plagiarism machine. It’s not political

Yes. Think about what it is plagiarising. Datasets are biased; this is like statistics/ML 101.

outside of a single country where everything has to look political to prevent people from voting independent,

You can just say the country, and also, this doesn't really make any sense. Am I to infer that, if things weren't political, people would vote (a famously political action) for independents?

and the only regulation AI ever needs is one declaring all it produces a derivative work of all the material it used for learning.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more wrong with LLMs than just plagiarism.

Any attempts to ascribe further properties to that remixing machines are just natural intelligence equivalent of slop.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean here.

Anything worth talking about is political. What the hell are you on about?

As is tradition I am sharing this link without having listened yet.

Followup to part 1, which now has a transcript!

As is tradition, I am posting this link without having listened to it. (too many podcasts)

 

Just a lil tidbit of news of some web3 based company going away.

 

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

 

Not sure how much needs to be said here. Sometimes I come back to a tab with a.s open and refresh, then get logged out. I’m using chrome on iOS but this might be reproducible on other browser/platform combinations.
