Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that's what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They're just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we're just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.

A quick search turns up that alpha fold 3, what they are using for this, is a diffusion architecture, not a transformer. It works more the image generators than the GPT text generators. It isn't really the same as "the LLMs".

It's interesting to me that NYC, Jewish, and gay/lesbian all had the same wildly incorrect estimate on average.

I think that pre-Israeli zionists literally used the slogan of "Arabs out!" might have contributed to early 20th century suspicions that zionism was a fundamentally invading and colonial ideology. But that's just me.

It won't tell us what to do, it'll do the very complex thing we ask it to. The biggest issues facing our species and planet atm all boil down to highly complex logistics. We produce enough food to make everyone in the world fat. There is sufficient shelter and housing to make everyone safe and secure from the elements. We know how to generate electricity and even distribute it securely without destroying the global climate systems. What we seem unable to do is allocate, transport, and prioritize resources to effectively execute on these things. Because they present very challenging logistical problems. The various disciplines underpinning AI dev, however, from ML to network sciences to resource allocation algorithms making your computer work, all are very well suited to solving logistics problems/building systems that do so. I really don't see a sustainable future where "AI" is not fundamental to the logistics operations supporting it.

Probable cause for ICE means a real and reasonable apprehension that if they don't make the arrest then, the individual is likely to flee were they to seek a judicial order or warrant. This is literally impossible to have in premeditated raids. The very act of planning and premeditation necessarily means they had time to seek a warrant before arrest. This person is full of shit and fully deserves to be "litigated in the streets." May they suffer the lack of peace they deserve.

This is fucked up, but also it's fucked up that there is a single public policy ducked director for Israel AND the Jewish diaspora.

I think this would actually trigger real rioting and violence. And that would give the Trump the veneer of legality he needs for Republican support to enact martial law. And that would trigger more rioting and violence spreading beyond NY. It would be a catastrophically stupid move on Trump's part. So probably by end of the month.

Do you understand that even just in the category of communism, there is an enormous gamut of different approaches, of which you only seem to understand a very specific one? You understand that the bolshevicks, even under Lenin, murdered the "competing" communist groups, effectively regressing right back to authoritarianism and what would inevitably degrade into Stalinist autocracy? And so that even the, mischaracterizing, claim that "communism" went bad is basically nonsensical?

I imagine not, though I haven't looked into it.

God, why is the games industry so fucking illiterate when it comes to IP law. File a trademark opposition? They're suing! File a patent application without issued claims or even substantive examination? They've patented it! These aren't crazy fucking complicated concepts, but the journalism for games industries like actively stunts the understanding of these things by the market.

Do you like shovels? What an inane question. Capitalism is a tool. It works for some things and not for others. If you want to achieve the things it doesn't work for, you don't use it and use a better suited tool instead.
