Which is still something. When we didn't have a solution, a solution is more than zero. But it's not understanding , either by the LLM or by us. That is, a brute-force solution doesn't explain anything, even if it prove

I thought it was reasonably good. A few moments were laugh-out-loud, a few were touching, a few surprise reveals, a few plot holes. Worth watching once, but not spectacular. But not worth watching in a theater . The big turn-off to me w

I believe that the claim is that some AI company would find "I'm so afraid because AI is getting so powerful" to be effective marketing.

Well, in this study, they explicitly had equality - all four groups were as likely to succeed. So any difference in hiring was actual bias (or statistical noise).

It's daft to me that anyone would do it. But I strongly suspect that someone will, and more than one someone.

> In particular it pointed me to authority docs declaring that if a flight is 5+ hours late, you can refuse to fly, reclaim the money and exit the airport. What jurisdiction? EU? (I would love for that to be true in the US, but I bet

With "rational" being defined as "not making us look bad" at best, and "letting us take credit for their work" at worst. Yes, that is disgusting.

Mass surveillance? You could be right. Government? As others have said, government may well contract it out to private companies. But surveillance by private companies who have the government's ear isn't much better. People und

Your second paragraph sounds like you're using IKEA and Chipotle as the measure of whether something is communist. You're putting corporatism on the same side as communism. At a minimum, that's not a historically accurate s

Banksy is part of "communism"? Consider me skeptical.

"Invaded by proxy" is not actually a thing. You're trying to make arming an insurgency sound equivalent to a full-on invasion, and they are not equivalent. The US did not arm the Islamists in order to destabilize Russia, jus

I suspect "submarine" was meant in this sense: https://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html Note well: This does not mean that I agree with any part of what he said. Just explaining the term.

To blame as much as Russia, who actually invaded? No.

Even so, it feels a bit unfair for you to make the initial claim, the other guy disagrees, and then you demand proof from him, when you have supplied none and you went first. Not a formal debate, still not quite cricket, as the Brits would

Thirty five upvotes, only one comment. It's like everybody read it, and immediately got off HN. Which sounds like people really took it to heart.

It's saying I don't actually care. I don't care if Pangram can detect AI writing in the future. I don't care if it can't. I'm saying the question does not matter to me. I don't care about not reading AI

No, but you're the one who made the initial claim. Under normal debate rules, you have the burden of proof.

"This time last year, it was still unclear if AI could develop their own free will or even have true fluid intelligence. Both of these questions are now clearly answered." Hardly. The second question may be answered, but clearly

I'm not absolutely opposed to AI in principle. If it writes things worth reading, I'm not opposed to reading them. The problem is when it writes things that have the appearance of making sense but actually don't, when it wri

LLMs model the part of human understanding that is captured by the relationship between words in the training corpus. Anyone who thinks non-verbally, the shared understanding of "apple" that comes from having eaten them, understa

Interesting. I have designed code that way. And the shapes aren't UML diagram elements or anything like that, they're just... shapes. I'll slowly walk around, in the hall or outside, and be kind of seeing these shapes and

Color . Perfect word; thank you. That's what LLM writing doesn't have, and the second version didn't have it either.

by AnimalMuppet 1mo ago
Yeah. The first one was like a minimalist painting, the second like a software specification. I'm pretty sure that the general public does not want to read software specifications.

And The New Yorker - writing that is written to sound impressive, and takes forever to get to the point. I hated that kind of writing in The New Yorker long before LLMs made it cool to hate that.

by AnimalMuppet 1mo ago
But even that is grossly inefficient. Let's say I'm making an HN comment. I have a one-sentence idea, I get an LLM to expand it into an impressive-looking (or oppressive-looking) wall of text, and then I post that. Well, let&#x2

The practical legal definition of "speedy" might not match peoples' intuitive definition.

But if it requires human vetting, and AI massively increases the volume of requests, then it also massively increases the effort to properly vet those requests.

Can anyone steelman this for me? What is the rationale for halting trade with trade partners as a reasonable response to the Fed not cutting rates? To my (perhaps cynical) mind, it looks almost like using trade (or maybe even the whole eco
