Sure, now show us how to recycle spent fuel rods (and become a billionaire).

Newton's laws are a good enough approximation for many tasks so it's not a "false understanding" as long as their limits are taken into account.


Analogy doesn't work because the bomb came first and the reactor later, that is, regarding fission the reactor isn't even here yet. And it was clear from the beginning that the chain reaction is real not hypothetical.


No, there was a functioning reactor built as part of making the bomb.

And it is not a hypothetical concern that a new type of agent might be fundamentally uncontrollable; we're already barely surviving corporations persuing their inhuman goals.


No way I get into a car that has a human driver who literally has no skin in the game.


They can always fire the driver if he/she causes a few fatalities.

The fact check will come when some foreign soldier kicks in the door to your basement computer room.


haha that word. back in the 80ies,some polish friends of mine taught me that but refused to tell me what it meant and instructed me to never, ever use it. Until today I don't know what it is about...


Obviously they are not talking about the difference between the two browsers, but between the two situations. Your post looks like you chose the least charitable interpretation in order to pick a fight.


The two situations are also totally different: Chrome has been far better for the Web than IE ever was, and the reason Firefox is still keeping up is that it got that money from Google.

Recent claims that current LLMs pass the Turing test seem to be wildly exaggerated.


historically, "gaining unauthorized access" IS the second meaning.


Oh nice, I wasn't aware. I always associated hacking with "gaining unauthorized access" and googling for the first definition confirmed that I'm my eyes. Didn't know it was the other way around and the term is actually much older than I assumed.


Best in class chess program actually is a NN, just not a LLM.
