Pretty sure that's a strawman.

Anthropic to pay 1.5 billion to authors

That's... quite a bit. I wonder if we'll start to see more complaints about people reaching their token limit "prematurely" or if Anthropic will release a $1000/month "unlimited" plan or something like that.

That picture does indeed has words, numbers, and lines on it.

For example, if a country turns out to have a hidden datacenter somewhere, the datacenter gets hit by ballistic missiles and the country gets heavy sanctions and demands to allow inspectors to pore over other suspicious locations, which if refused will lead to more missile strikes.

"If the AI God doesn't kill you, we will." is one hell of a sales pitch.

Depends, he made an anti-GMO video on SciShow about a decade ago yet eventually walked it back. He seemed to be forgiven for that.

Nvidia's current downturn is probably moreso due to the disastrous launch of it's 5000 series rather than AI.

If it was AI I'm guessing the drop would be larger.

It was twitter. Elon Musk joins Trump's team. What happens? Harris' chances begin to drop.
Trump did lose support, but there was probably enough propaganda on Twitter to make enough people go "both sides" and just sit out the election.

Is this supposed to be a parody or something? If so, why is this being done at the direction of the FBI? Or is that also part of the parody? If so I didn't know you could use the FBI logo for that purpose.

His main major piece of evidence for this is a basic experiment, where he has a student draw two images of dollar bills - one from memory, and one with a real dollar bill as reference - and compare the two.

Unsurprisingly, the image made with a reference blows the image from memory out of the water every time, which Epstein uses to argue against any notion of the image of a dollar bill (or anything else, for that matter) being stored in one’s brain like data in a hard drive.

To be frank, it feels like I'm being told that the Riemann hypothesis is incorrect on the basis that 1 + 1 = 2

Sure, maybe brains don't actually compute anything, but "Our memory is faulty" would be the first step in getting to the evidence, not the evidence itself, assuming "our memory is faulty" is even the direction we need to go.

It could easily be argued, with just as much evidence, that our brains prioritized efficiency over accuracy with its algorithms and that's why it's harder to recall an accurate image of a dollar bill.

Also doxxing them when giving their refund.

Unfortunately, "extremely expensive" and "high-end" aren't really synonyms, thanks to, y'know, bitcoin. Of course, I don't disagree with your argument that having to buy a GPU just to ensure your webmail does what it's advertised to do is, well, dumb.

What I don't know is what the LLM even is. Did they just tack on Llama to their webmail app and call it a day? Did they train a model? Was it trained on emails? If so, whose emails? What an advertisement that would be: "Use Protonmail to encrypt your emails so that companies like Protonmail can't use them to train an LLM."

TBF what's the difference between a "AI" seance and a "real" one? It's not like one is less of a grift than the other.
