Slop is slop of course, but I don't 'read' manuals so much as I look stuff up in them. So I only need the information to be clear and style doesn't matter so much. Provided the LLM knows its writing a manual it can do a

"LLM paragraph will register to much of your audience not as writing but as output" The best advice for writing for other humans is: don't use LLMs. If you're writing for machines, liking coding, then fine go for it. If

They make their money by peeking at what everyone else's LLM's are doing and trading off that info.

Quality means different things to different people. But the fact that Bentleys and Porsche exist support that case that not everything in a competitive markets drives things to the lowest cost product.

My experience is competition invokes two races happening at the same time, one for lowest price and one for highest quality. You can get a cheap car or really high quality car. Same goes for clothes, restaurants, basically anything where th

Can you even imagine living in a world where you could rely on that to work and not immediately be corrupted by a few rich people.

If you are browsing, you aren't searching for any specific piece of information. You're just looking at whatever is presented to you via whatever algo in use. In this case reading a book would, IMHO, be better. You stumble across

There is a strong interdependency between sprawl, big roads, and traffic. They are not separate problems.

The answer is competition. Quality declines when companies no longer have to meaningful compete in the marketplace. The only other solution is regulation and force quality through punishment for noncompliance. Competition works better.

How much of H1B hiring is because companies want to pay people less and how much is it because there genuinely aren't enough trained people to do the jobs? I ask this question because I don't have any exposure to h1b hiring, so I

I mean yeah. In this analogy you can do all those things. Though some may be subject to restrictions. Like you can't always have a campfire because sometimes the risk of burning down whole forests is too great.

Yep. Fire is actually a great example, its both useful and dangerous. And so we have probably 10s of thousands of fire regulations for products, buildings, vehicles. We have fire departments, we have regular fire drills, we think about fire

As mentioned by another commenter, the real danger is that these tools act as amplifiers and enablers for human agents that want to do really bad things. Whereas some crazy group that wants to destroy X for some reason, but had no ability t

The political objectives for the war were Netanyahu's who managed quite the move in getting Trump to commit to this. But still an open question how much his motives were rationally objective or senseless passion.

Your first example is the apt one here. In this case openAI was, allegedly, pilfering the work of the scientists into the AI. How is it an unfair standard. OpenAI stole the work of others to build the AI. That's not different than scie

It is capitalism doing capitalism stuff, but more fundamentally technology is allowing for more centralized control of more things by fewer people. Regardless of ideology, increasing concentration of power has bad outcomes for people (excep

So was Trump. To a true scammer, politics is just another grift.

by Eddy_Viscosity2 21d ago
This is true, but I think my point still holds. If he were to get of jail, say by donating a substantial sum to Trump and then coincidentally getting a full pardon. And then he ran, I don't think that his infamy as a scammer would hurt

Scamming as a male can actually improve your reputation. Donald Trump is currently the president of the united states despite years of ripping people off. If Bernie Madoff could run as a republican senator, I'd given him decent odds
