If it's instead of the flat fee, that sounds better. Free for hobby, research, and pre-revenue startups. No idea how they'd enforce it.
To be clear, I have 0 faith they won't fuck it up.

Isn't "caused by not enough upzoning" very related to upzoning?

That's what I'm here for!

In the current housing crisis, "reasonable" is heavily weighted towards building as many new homes per day as possible.
Standardized huge grey rectangular towers would be more reasonable for speed alone.

When things like this get turned over the same people who threw bitch fits about these projects always turn around and complain about homeless people. Do you want them off the streets or not? Wouldn't it be better for people to be housed than on the streets struggling?

I'd rather an ugly building than no building.

Predicting the future is hard. Virtue ethics is basically a decent heuristic for utilitarianism, right? Like if you don't fuck up the utils math, they turn out pretty close?

"as a Utilitarian Consequentialist, I believe in Virtue Ethics because every time some group of people abandoned 'Virtue' the outcomes were really awful" is a funny take but also, like, true

You don't want to build a liberal news giant (swing voters don't read much political news) you want to build a bunch of just local trusted places which every year do an endorsement list for every elected office.

I'm curious what reason anyone would have for yards being more important than housing.

Is there a standard phone that's best for this (that is also cheap)? The hardware's plateauing these days,right? Surely one of them got it right by chance?

This is why we gotta start requiring sources on this kind of statement
comment in response to

Demand from the people developing the ai, not the ai itself. Can't trust those things as-is.

Do you have a link to that background image? It's a good one
comment in response to

I mean, yeah. They make stuff up. My point is it's solvable.
comment in response to

Yeah, it'll have to check the cited source.

It's worked out well for wikipedia

Throw a source validation filter on the output. Penalize it for uncited sources.
comment in response to
post
Maybe I should say "source validation"? It's a lower bar either way.
comment in response to
post
Because...?
comment in response to
post
We can just use wikipedia's citability standards as a substitute. At least then we can flag a given source as being out of date later.

I don't have that either, but it's a narrower and more well defined problem, which is a step in the right direction.

"symbol manipulation" is like a blank check to a mathematician.

That's why incorporating automated fact checking into the training and data collection is so important. It's the only way to sift out the bullshit.
comment in response to

Haven't looked it up, but automated fact checking is definitely under active research.

Doesn't need to. It's like that chinese room thought experiment.

This raises the extremely valid point that we are not glorifying autocomplete enough.

"Don't think" maybe

I feel morally obligated to develop the ability, out of sheer contrarianism.

no no, the extra filter would just validate the output. way easier.
