I think part of the big push to "slow down AI development" is to add some sort of regulatory pressure that will give them sort cover to train less models and slow their burn rates

Are you implying that OpenAI using someones unpublished research without their permission to solve an career defining math problem with their latest model in order to publish first is a problem with the mathematicians?

My read on this document is that people's work isn't being fairly cited more than what does it mean to be a mathematician in this age.

Good thing they never did that then

This is the real issue, though this article does not really hit on it explicitly just alludes to it.

Yes I think they should be more direct. Not sure why they weren't

I didn't know this article was about that issue at all. Yeah, if the issue is properly citing work then yes, OpenAI needs to do that. But the article read like it was tackling a completely different issue.

That's one of several issues, obviously a big one, and they do touch on it:

> Often these solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup, the isolation of new methods and ideas, and citing relevant previous work of others. As in all creative professions, this raises severe attribution and plagiarism questions.

Yes. I forgot about that section. That is probably the one thing that the AI companies can and should do better on.

definitely less than ideal

Foldable gimmicks aside the new materials and components sound really cool. How they have the screen layers that move freely seems innovative. The new ceramic they’re using for the outer shell/screen sounds great and I hope we see it in more of their devices:

“Ceramic Shield 2 on the outer display reduces glare and provides 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation”

Yes Pangram rated it as 100% AI written

This is pseudoscientific AI slop. Pangram is scoring it as 100% AI written. Modern humans originated 300kya, so the idea that oral to written culture could date back 240k years is absurd.

Checking to see if these dates correspond to climatic events only makes sense if the texts imply that. However, this list does not mention climatic events for these kings records. The only climatic event it does mention is the great flood which in their chronology comes after these lists of kings. So why would these writers use dates to some past events and leave out that context? I don't see any scholarly articles suggesting this. Googling for it only brings up this article. It comes across to me as ploy for self promotion rather than anything of value to prehistory.

For a real example of a possible ancient human record of an actual event aboriginal australians have oral histories of a volcanic eruption 37kya.

…if you actually looked at the article, you would have seen that the answer was a resounding “no”.

If this was the case why do the kings that come after this on the list have normal human reigns?

The most likely explanation is that we are treating the list too literally. This list is at least 4000 years old and we do not have the cultural context to understand what it's intent was

Yes this is a more concise and less informative version of what I said. I thought my perspective would be interesting since I held 4000 year old tablets in my hands and studied with Assyriologists at the top of the field but what do I know?

So funny thing, I just learned about the king list yesterday. The king list was compiled during the Akkadian restoration of Sumer. It is believed that the king list was compiled in order to provide a through line from ancient Sumerian rulers to the (at the time) contemporary Akkadian-origin king.

The oldest 'sumerian king list' tablets found date from the Sumerian 'restoration' after Akkad, not 'Akkadian restoration'

From what we gather, around 2300/2200 BCE the very first territorial empire known, the Akkadian empire rose and then fell. There's a great book about it called "The Age of Agade". Enheduanna, thought to be a daughter of one of the Akkadian rulers, is one of the oldest authors known! She is thought to have authored some poetry we've found from back then. After the Akkadian territorial polity fell, southern Mesopotamia fragmented into city states and that is when these 'king list' tablets are thought to date from.

I've used AWS Cognito for two start ups. One is still trucking. Cognito definitely leaves a lot to be desired, but overall I've never encountered any major issues with it. I think it's cheap precisely bc it's lackluster, but that's fine for my needs. YMMV I guess

They're also much cheaper from an infrastructure perspective to maintain

Life in the city is more expensive, in my experience though. Richer, with vastly more options, sure - but more expensive overall.

In the US it's a supply and demand problem. America chose redlining. White flight. More cars, less public transit. They largely stopped building desireable new mixed use medium density neighbourhoods after WW2.
