    LLMs have inherent problems that are not going to be solved tomorrow and probably not in the next decade. Companies are struggling to justify their investments and, while useful at times, LLMs won’t lead us to average intelligence, hardly superintelligence.

    If AGI was around the corner, do you think Sam Altman would be wasting time with erotic content generation?

    screw your clickbait

    How You Can Help

    We can prevent extinction if we act now. We need to prohibit the development of superintelligence.

    The first step is to inform everyone, from friends and family to lawmakers and world leaders, and ask them to act.

    Your time is valuable – that’s why we’ve put together tools and resources that make it easy to make a difference.

    If you have just 5 minutes per week to spend on a targeted micro-task optimized to make a big impact, check out MicroCommit.



  • It’ll have its uses, I’m sure, but is not like this training specialized compressors is free, or even always advantageous

    The goal of OpenZL is to generate specialized compressors, optimized for user’s input. To this end, you are going to train a new profile and use it to compress the data. The approach makes more sense when compressing a large flow of similar data, because the cost of training is then amortized across all future compressions.








  • fwiw, I used Kopia for around a year, but eventually the backup got corrupted with a BLOB not found error and there was no way to fix it.

    similar to this issue, except that nothing would fix or improve the situation https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1087

    and because it seemed to be an issue with the repo (not just with a snapshot), the remote copy was also borked. I couldn’t even list the snapshots.

    I’ve since migrated to Rustic (though Restic might be more reliable today).

    This seems to be the a similar issue too, but I was nowhere near the scale of this user. There are other similar reports that may or may not be linked to the same root cause, so it’s hard to say how rare this problem is.
