Big brains divided over training AI with more AI: Is model collapse inevitable?

The term "echo chamber" comes to mind ...

Re: What does the "C" stand for . . .

@elsergiovolador I'd go along with your statement about it not being safe or ready for market - US roads are very different to roads in Europe and UK

"Same reason why guns are not legal to carry here."

I don't think firearms will ever be legal to carry here as in the US - this only is the case in the US due to the historical context in terms of founding of the country - but the argument is often given that in Swizerland etc, gun ownership is a lot higher and they do not have anywhere near the same level of gun related crime - and I think this is due to the nature of the people that inhabit their respective countries. I know a lot of people who would disagree, and they same opinions are like ***** - everyone has one - but that's my 2p worth ;)

Depending on how sentient it got and how high its IQ was, I doubt they'd be able to keep it quiet unless it was willing ...

Thanks for info - very interesting

Re: Whilst certainly tastless in this case....

Something akin to this yes - but it was in the form of a triangle with different horizontal levels inside it to represent the different layers of management with the CEO being at the top ...

Re: Whilst certainly tastless in this case....

Does anyone remember from their time in the workplace a diagram of a triangle which showed the most junior member of the team at the bottom, gradually going up until you get to the CEO, and at each stage they're discussing a project - it starts off with the engineer at the very bottom saying this project will never work etc - and as it goes up the management chain, it gets watered down to the point it gets to the CEO being presented as the best thing since sliced bread.

I remember seeing this very early on in my career as one of the very first memes (albeit printed on paper and pinned to the kitchen wall) alongside other classics such as "We do not stand on formality - kneeling is sufficient"

Re: What does the "C" stand for . . .

Again - good to know - I wonder what the hold up is with making them legal in the UK then?

I don't mean the Tesla self driving - but I mean truly autonomous vehicles that don't need a driver at all.

Re: What does the "C" stand for . . .

Thanks for the info - very interesting.

Another question off the back of this one then - can precedence be taken in case law from a decision made in another country?

You raise a very interesting question - technically speaking, words like "woof" are known as onomatopoeia - in that the sound you make saying them is representative of the actual event occurring - so arguably with that context, wuff is just as acceptable as woof - but I've never heard of a dog guau-ing.

This would be a translation - not a direct onomatopoeia

The Oxford English Dictionary (other dictionaries do exist) contains both entries for wuff and woof - so (to me at least) - both are acceptable.

I now feel like Susie Dent on Countdown - but not as good looking :)

Re: Thank you

In some way it also mirrors Oppenheimer's life in the way he had his security clearances revoked due to "fundamental defects of character", and Communist associations "far beyond the tolerable limits of prudence and self-restraint which are to be expected of one holding the high positions" ...

Re: What does the "C" stand for . . .

So is the company running it responsible, or the software engineers or where the data training it was sourced from?

Variations of this conundrum also exist for driverless vehicles - if there is an accident - who is responsible in terms of insurance?
