When cruise control is on, yes, but it's extremely gentle. The slightest bit of resistance from the driver will overpower it.

Can't also for Toyota, but yes, my Mitsubishi has the option of simple cruise control without lane keeping.

I've never had any issue with the lane assist in my Mitsubishi. It's absolutely built as an "assist" and not something that will actually try to take control from you. It's trivial to "overpower" it manually and turn out of your lane without signaling if that's what you want to do, but does a perfectly reasonable job of steering on its own when left to its own devices.

That said, I wouldn't be driving a vehicle new enough to have the feature yet either if I hadn't been rear ended a couple of years ago and had my 2012 Lancer written off. :(

With imagery, or in abstracts. I have an internal monologue but not everything is a monologue. If I'm working on a project of some kind I'll usually keep a mental model of the current piece I'm working on in my head. There's no monologue attached, it's just a "working copy" of my current task.

Or for example if I'm reaching somewhere I can't see to plug in a usb port or something I'm visualizing in my head what my hand is doing, but I'm not talking myself through it.

Same. I learned this was a thing just the other day.

I don't use them often but do find them nicer for parenthetical remarks sometimes.

A friend of mine is albino and turned down a job offer in South Africa around that time. The thought of even being on the same continent with that going on made him profoundly uncomfortable.

To sell the narrative of cutting waste. The fact that people will be hurt by this doesn't factor into their consideration in the slightest and they need to stay on message.

On top of that they say that these sorts of behaviors only arise when the models are "stressed", and the article also mentions "threats" like being unplugged. What kind of response do they actually expect from a fill-in-the-conversation machine when the prompt it's been asked to continue from is a threat?

Goldstein suggested more radical approaches, including using the courts to hold AI companies accountable through lawsuits when their systems cause harm.

The suggestion that this is a "radical approach" might actually be the most insane part of what is already a fairly insane article.

This is really what blows my mind the most. With all this talk about how much power LLMs and diffusion models use companies are still constantly cramming it into places where it's just running all the time passively doing things no one asked for.

Overall power use by these things would probably be cut down by an order of magnitude by just limiting it to directed, intentional use only.

It's a basic AC rectifier, the resistor represents an arbitrary DC load. You use similar circuits all the time, though generally with additional failsafes and some mechanism of smoothing out the rectified current.

"Conduit" is the word for those tubes for wires. Probably a shared etymology with "conductor" though.

Having the pipes in the mortar/bricks sounds like a maintenance nightmare.
