well the people who did the Higgs boson theory worked and re-worked for years all the prior work about elementary particles and arguably did a bunch of re-mixing of all the previous “there might be a new elementary particle here!” work until they hit on something that convinced enough peers that it could be validated in a real-world experiment.
by which i mean to say that it doesn’t seem completely implausible that an llm could generate the first tentative papers in that general direction. perhaps one could go back and compute the likelihood of the first papers on the boson given only the corpus to date before it as researchers seem to be trying to do with the special relativity paper which is viewed as a big break with physics beforehand.
crypto is a kind of live estimate of the frustration with government restrictions on using one’s own property. that in itself seems to have some social value.
in the US, banks will question you if you try to withdraw your own cash from your own bank account past a certain limit set decades ago and never adjusted while the dollar continues to lose value.
in many educational systems, aptitude in math (the more abstract, the better) is conflated with intelligence. so maybe many of us have internalized we should valorize it?
Some states passed laws to protect the right to record law enforcement officers in public places. Some states passed laws to forbid it. Courts said the laws to forbid it violated the 1st amendment.[1][2]
so if i build an app that enables endusers to upload videos from their phones to youtube and then offers a labeling system so that ice-related (or other) activities can be interlinked and searched/discovered/traversed i am suddenly engaging in proscribed software development? how far down does this slope go???
it goes as far as the king or his loyal enablers think it needs to go. the slope is very short, actually, because the moment you do that you'll have a target on your back and might receive a visit from a federal law enforcement agency.
to go further: let’s say i don’t even define a purpose for the app but just leave it open to users to define their metadata labeling scheme and all the app does is index the videos labeled in a common way. perhaps endusers agree on redit or on some wiki how they will label posts. the app just traverses the labeling scheme and provides some basic viewing and searching locally; without a server involved beyond youtube. i’m just wondering whether this new situation essentially criminalizes metadata.
When users create the lists and you don’t moderate them (outside of illegal content and “profanity”. But “profanity” is similar to the slippery slope of a “targeted group”.
ok so , in theory, “Mark” (the author of the original app in question in the original post) could change some of the verbiage around his app and resubmit claiming 230?
If they can’t remove your app from the store, they will use advertisers to coerce you to whatever changes they are after, if that’s not the case, they will force you to sell your app.
i don’t have a strong view either way, but as a data point: I've heard the word “muggle” used in casual conversation and i don’t run in circles where harry potter is considered required reading.
i’ve had little luck getting ai systems to correctly set up networking for a set of vms. they tend to go round and round with ip tables commands that don’t ultimately solve the problem. is config fundamentally harder than writing code ?
i give feedback by copy-pasting output. hence the round and round. maybe if i had a sandbox that the model could run on autonomously it might ho better/faster.
