I don't find the distinction particularly useful. We seek to understand more accurately how our universe works, with disregard to whether it is direct reality or simulated reality. The increased accuracy that we discover may result in our knowing whether we are in a simulation, or it may not.

Either way, something is base reality, whether it is our universe as we observe and experience it, or some number of simulated levels "below" it. Our own state as simulated or real doesn't change that. There is isness.

Not since they shut down API access. Now it's obvious why they did that.

Bring a second bike along with you, and lock it with a $10 combination lock chain.

All you have to do is think about this reasonably (I know, I know). Undocumented immigrants to the US want to come here so badly that they're willing to do it outside of the law. They know full well that if they get caught just for that, they're in a fuckload of trouble. It is clearly in the immediate, direct, and personal best interest of an undocumented immigrant to stay well clear of law enforcement. This means - wait for it - not breaking any other laws.

Undocumented immigrants have a very strong incentive to be absolutely well-behaved.

The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.

Well there's your problem.

I was so confused for a moment.

While that's not strictly a Guy Fawkes mask, holy shit does the non-blurred version get even stupider. It's like the people who picked the image for the story thought, "Even we can't put up something that stupid."

I haven't even gotten to the text of the story, because I was stopped in my tracks by the stupidest stock photo I have ever seen, wherein someone in full riot gear with an ultra-modern machine pistol is prepared to shoot someone at point blank range, when they're already in handcuffs, which are, inexplicably, in front and not behind. And how cold is it in that basement that you'd be working while wearing a hoodie (with the hood up, of course) and a jacket zipped up over it?

Before they shut down the APIs, I deleted all my posts and edited all my comments.

Spez doesn’t get to profit from me anymore. And hopefully I’m poisoning the well.

Why is the default setting to enable remote administration?

I have to wonder if you said the same things about Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP.

Who’s not interested in whose opinion now?
