US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’
  • @HelixDab2 @sue_me_please I'd go a step further and say it doesn't work. It's an inherently flawed concept that you can reduce human thought, skill, ability, and behaviour to a number and then rank people by it. The legacy of general intelligence itself is that of people assuming it exists and seeking to justify their assumptions.

    Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 20 October 2024
  • @BlueMonday1984 you can actually get an HL: Alyx compatible Windows Mixed Reality set on eBay for well under $200. I use an Acer one pretty much exclusively for Beatsaber, but it's very capable hardware for other games too. It's kind of a shame that the WMR sets didn't catch on. They were cheap, even new, and were the start of a less closed VR ecosystem. Facebook massively undercut them by selling at a loss when they were released, though, and they were pretty much dead in the water.

    LLMs can’t reason — they just crib reasoning-like steps from their training data

  • @BlueMonday1984 @blakestacey I can't believe I'm siding with Michael Bay over James Cameron on a matter of artistic integrity. Make it stop!

  • @sailor_sega_saturn @gerikson it's very funny, but I wish they didn't AI clone David Attenborough's voice for it

  • @Soyweiser @bitofhope He was extrapolating lobster behaviour to humans before that whole mess. I think he might just be that dumb.

    LOL, LMAO: Inside the first 'SEO heist' of the AI era. Web2 is going great!
  • @sailor_sega_saturn @AcausalRobotGod It's literally the opposite of the categorical imperative, the philosophical equivalent of saying, "it's rare that ducks go quack"

  • @sailor_sega_saturn @AcausalRobotGod It's like someone read Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and proceeded to bash themselves over the head with it.
