As the sibling comment says, user actions are the main driver, but also the fact that the weights can be modified. If a model is released with safeguards, they can be ablated out or the model can be fine tuned for nefarious purposes, and no

> What do you make of that? I don’t make anything of it. That’s only been reported because it came from OpenAI and was a frontier model, incidents involving open models are probably happening but are not being widely reported, and those

No I didn’t, and I’ve been entirely civil. Even if you do choose to read it that way that the responses break the guidelines and go against the spirit of the site.

I think he probably didn’t go far enough to be honest, though I acknowledge that’s difficult to do in his position and with the amount of attacks being thrown at Anthropic at the moment. At some point open weight models will need to be rest

Well that’s more in the direction of unintended consequences, but sure these exist. At least you’re not being a jerk about it.

Interesting. One of the replies below sets the tone, the others follow. It’s like giving permission to everyone else.

Yes, there’s delayed feedback, I thought about putting that in, I didn’t bother. I guess I should have but I didn’t anticipate this level of hostility, HN is not usually this hostile.

I have used incognito chats and regular chats, but it doesn’t matter either way since I don’t have memory enabled anyway. I’ve seen very many screenshots using the mobile app and the desktop website so I don’t think it’s the interface. I al

Wow, that’s needlessly aggressive, but you do you. I wonder what it is about this subject that makes people so angry? I think I’ll settle on status. People are afraid of having their social status taken away by AI and become irate at the th

It’s a general sentiment about the way I think things are heading. You seem angry about it, that’s for you to figure out for yourself.

To be pedantic about it, if something is a necessity it can’t be done without by definition. So if you’re in that position whatever you’re talking about wasn’t a necessity. Is this like Socrates thinking that reading will make people lazy a

Well no, it’s a problem in your understanding of what I’ve written. The thesis and what’s learned along the way are separate objects with separate value, and you’ve decided to misread me in order to have something to be indignant about. How

Maybe it wasn’t garbage, maybe it’s just gotten significantly easier because the hard parts have gotten less hard. Search is solved, prose is solved, reasoning is… assisted at least. What he wasn’t being rude about was bursting his colleagu

by Chance-Device 2mo ago
You’re sort of saying that’s because your thesis had no value to begin with, because it’s mainly a teaching exercise. I’m not saying that it doesn’t have value by the way, I’m sure it was good, that’s just my read of your post. It’s an inte

We’re at the point of learning that some things that used to matter no longer do, and some things we used to think mattered never did. It’s a going to be a shock to everyone, and this same phenomenon is happening everywhere, not just academ

Can you copy your exact prompt here? I’ve tried a lot of these, including Opus 5 and Fable at all thinking levels already.

by Chance-Device 2mo ago
Yep, I tried Opus 5 with low reasoning when I first opened the thread. Still doesn’t work. I’ve tried Opus 5 and Fable on various efforts, never works. Different prompts, never works. The model always thinks I’ve pasted a truncated prompt a

This doesn’t work for me, and I’ve been trying different prompts since this first popped up on x a few days ago. No combination of anything works and I’ve been pretty systematic about it. I think it’s either on the account or region level.

by Chance-Device 2mo ago
For some users, for example myself, this and similar prompts never work. Not a single time. I’ve been trying this on and off since it first popped up a few days ago. It doesn’t work on mobile or desktop, web or app, incognito or non incogni

Your detractors don’t care about the facts Simon, as you’re probably well aware. They’re afraid of LLMs and need to deny that they can do anything well or have any potential to take their jobs. In their world AI never has an impact on jobs,

Ah, I see! Fair point.

by Chance-Device 2mo ago
Well, shrug I guess? You’re welcome to your opinion, we both think the other is wrong.
114.
by Chance-Device 2mo ago
For sure, but I think solid automated testing is what gets you to a good and consistent user experience. Validation of the outcome rather than the code itself.
115.
by Chance-Device 2mo ago
I don’t think you shouldn’t go and clean up dead code and ensure that you have code reuse, as it probably does help the LLM somewhat. I just don’t think that it needs to be as strict as we’re used to for human consumption. And the LLMs will

I think these are separate things. I get the heuristic you’re applying, but with rigorous testing code quality doesn’t matter the same way anymore. Indeed, what is quality?

Seems like it’s an internal technical project that’s just been opened up to the public. It may be that whoever is in charge isn’t thinking in a particularly customer facing way, and they may not be very good at writing prose. It’s pretty un

I think we have some historical precedents for this that went less well than you might hope.
