The Unfathered: A Short Story for a Long World

There is a part of the Book of Genesis that almost no one reads aloud. It sits between the famous scenes, the garden and the flood, and it is only a list. Adam lived a number of years and begat Seth. Seth lived and begat Enosh. The text walks down the page through nine generations of fathers and sons, each man reduced to two facts, that he lived and that he made another like himself, until the line reaches Noah and the world is ready to drown. I used to skip those passages. I read one again last night, on a laptop in an apartment I am about to leave, and I understood for the first time that a genealogy is a horror story told slowly enough to be survived. […]

When AI builds itself

Our progress toward recursive self-improvement, and its implications.

My boss has sent me an email titled “notes on paper” with 2 photos of handwritten comments on a sheet of paper outlining his suggestions of how to structure the introduction to an academic paper I’m writing. #recursive #academia #academcChatter

It's a brand new day, I haven't figure out my last week, and I spoke with most of my friends, and I'm still confused by the idea, concept and how it's breaking my own way of living, but this isn't the only thing, maybe there is more, and here comes this week text to express it.

Are we free?

Freedom and resposability are not only the same coin, but the same face of the coin. Treating this as truth means that our leaders are more often than not, doing wrong.

#Recursive Superintelligence, a London-based #AIstartup founded by Richard Socher, raised at least $500 million in a funding round led by Google’s GV. The company, valued at $4 billion, aims to #automate various aspects of #AIdevelopment, including evaluation, data selection, training, and research direction. https://www.implicator.ai/recursive-superintelligence-raises-500m-from-gv-and-nvidia-at-4b-valuation/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
Recursive Superintelligence Raises $500M at $4B Valuation

Recursive Superintelligence, founded by Richard Socher, raised at least $500M in a round led by Google's GV with backing from Nvidia at a $4B valuation. The FT named former DeepMind and OpenAI researchers as co-founders, confirming the lineup Socher previewed to Implicator.ai last week.

Caught up with "Shy Girl" book debacle.

TL/DR: published book possibly AI written, tested by world's supposed foremost AI detection software. Allegedly found 78.3% of the text was AI generated.

My issue with all of this, is that AI writing was trained on published novels.
So AI writing is going to read like actual novels.
Which will now seem like they're AI written.
Because AI writing reads like actual novels.
Because AI was trained on actual novels...
