    1. Throwing more words and GPUs into the word-guessing program won't make it sentient. That's like saying, "Well, we keep breeding these horses to run faster and faster, so it's only a matter of time until one of our mares gives birth to a locomotive."

    2. If we are gonna campaign to get a new law passed in hopes of making more money and having more control over our labor, we should campaign to restore sectoral bargaining, not to expand copyright.

    3. Now I want to talk about how they're selling AI. The growth narrative of AI is that AI will disrupt labor markets. I use "disrupt" here in its most disreputable, tech bro sense.

    4. And I'll never forget when one writer turned to me and said, "You know, you prompt an LLM exactly the same way an exec gives shitty notes to a writers' room. You know: 'Make me ET, except it's about a dog, and put a love interest in there, and a car chase in the second act.'

But you say it to an LLM and it will cheerfully shit out a terrible script that conforms exactly to that spec (you know, Air Bud)."

      :)

      Not sure I understand how this would work. Obviously if there are open issues related to issues that is fine but you can't just tag unrelated work onto an existing ticket.

    1. The group’s private space contains all (and only) the annotations made by any member.

      If a member leaves a group, do the annotations go away or are they permanently part of that group? Can group members edit each others posts?

    1. One predictable feature of earthquakes is that they are completely unpredictable.  Or are they?  Scientists are beginning to collect data indicating that a range of human activity, including hydraulic fracturing, can induce earthquakes.  How is this data analyzed?  What can we learn from this data, and will it allow us to predict, or even prevent, future earthquakes?

    1. At times greater than 100 milliseconds, nonequilibrium dynamics dominated. In addition to directed transport along microtubules, we observed strong random dynamics driven by myosins that result in enhanced nonspecific transport. We present a quantitative model connecting molecular mechanisms to mesoscopic fluctuations
