Trying to regulate AI is going to end up like trying to regulate encryption. The genie is alreasy out of the bottle and so preventing regular people from using it won’t stop bad actors from using. The knowledge is already out there. The research papers have been online for years.

there's a particular style of grievanceposting where absolutely no interaction that isn't utterly submissive agreement is acceptable; even when i agree in principle with the grievance, it's immensely offputting because i know participation is neither expected nor welcome.

sadly it ends there, another unfinished part of the thesis. reviewing what was written though, i did get a few thoughts on how to continue 🤔

Some nice paragraphs on motivating exterior algebra from the master's thesis I never finished:

One thing I’ve long argued is that privacy advocates talk about the harm of targeted ads but can’t actually prove any harm outside of saying it gives them the ick. Now a court of law has said the same to the FTC. 😬 www.nytimes.com/2023/05/05/business…

Yeah I did say "claiming", didn't know exactly how long it took partly since I never used circles to begin with

If you read the message, you'll see that they're claiming they fixed the issue right away and have just now completed their investigation into figuring out how exactly it happened

many people don't want this though. they want another alternative to elon, because having an authority figure means they can short-circuit grappling with the complexity of reality into "why didn't the ceo fix this already"

An interesting question to which I do not know the answer is whether ever pair of zero divisors in the d-adic integers is idempotent

000

Joshua Silva @silvascientist.bsky.social · 05/05/2023

We can play a similar game in base 6: The last 2 digits of 3^2 are 13 The last 3 digits of "13" squared are 213 The last 4 digits of "213" squared are 0213 The last 5 digits of "0213" squared are 50213 and so on and so forth

Joshua Silva @silvascientist.bsky.social · 05/05/2023

also an idempotent, fascinating. so I could have found it just by subtracting the other solution from 1. instead i found it through brute force experimentation in mathematica lol

specifically when i try to make more than one of them

@pfrazee.com idk i think you guys are probably alread aware of this one but i'm getting a lot of newlines deleted

Joshua Silva @silvascientist.bsky.social · 05/05/2023

please forgive the repeated posts and deletes in your mentions, I'm getting some weird behavior around newlines

76^2 = ...5776 376^2 = ...1376 9376^2 = ...09376 09376^2 = ...909376 109376^2 = ...3109376and so on and so forth

Joshua Silva @silvascientist.bsky.social · 05/05/2023

It looks like ...7743740081787109376 Interestingly, to form this one you need to replace each new non-zero digit d with 10-d. I have no idea why this should be the case
