I'm in the "never" camp.

Adding more and more clockwork to the clock will not make it conscious.

that must be why he tried to back out of the deal

The Aurora supercomputer, which is one of the top supercomputers in the world, has an estimated cost of $500 million

The Fujitsu K, number 4 in the world, was $1.2bn and costs $10 million a year to operate.

Today is the day you learn about the well known phenomena of The Gartner Hyper Cycle

It's funny that there are ZERO posts about 4 members of the OpenAI board

Ilya Sutskever: OpenAI's chief scientist and co-founder on the board - recruited from Google by Elon Musk in 2015 to co-found OpenAI.
Adam D'Angelo: The CEO of Quora, who is not an employee at OpenAI.
Tasha McCauley: A technology entrepreneur and non-OpenAI employee, who is also on the board of directors of GeoSim Systems.
Helen Toner: A non-OpenAI employee who has been a director of strategy for Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology

Called the other two members of the board

Sam Altman: The CEO of OpenAI
Greg Brockman: OpenAI's co-founder and President, who also served as the chairman of the board.

to tell them they were fired!

US 2nd degree: The perpetrator caused the death of the victim while committing or attempting to commit any of a range of serious felonies, usually including burglary, robbery, rape, child abuse, arson, and kidnapping, among others.

UK Manslaughter: Unlawful act manslaughter is charged when death occurs due to a criminal act which a reasonable person would realise must subject some other person to at least the risk of some physical harm.

One thing my University education gave me was learning how terrible many Academic Papers really are. It's even worse now so many are pumped out, journals are pay to play or no-peer-review.

The conclusions are often not what the data within them says, it's almost as if the conclusions are written before the experiments.

And then, how the conclusions are twisted through the lens of Journalism. The more sensational the better. Weak arguments turn into cast iron facts.

And all this is disguised in excessively academic language "trust the science". No, I never trust the science, science is not a matter of trust.

for images the amount of hidden data is significantly less than the file size

1Mb jpeg with 8,388,608 pixels can hold about 349,525 pixels of secondary image

I know I said "about" and then specific pixel counts but that's what the calculation said.

The state of the art gives an embedding efficiency of 20 so I used that and 1Mb pulled out of thin air just to use as an example
