This is all obvious and not news, but there's a lot of people doing fighting retreats against LLM intelligence where the degree of obviousness matters.

For what it's worth, I actually agree that good software development genuinely is driven by vibes a lot of the time. Sometimes we get to formalize them into laws and rules, but we learn the vibes before we learn the rules; and if we

Yes, every expert. It's not like different personas, more like very coarse dropout training.

I suspect it's a signature of anti-fabrication training.

I mean, I do believe that an explanation of the unconscious is a model about firing patterns in the brain that can be true or false, sure. That does not seem to me controversial?

Of course, that tweet was talking about the Metaverse. So really it should be classic sci-fi novel "Neal Stephenson Invents A Ton Of Cool Things, But The Torment Nexus May Be The Coolest." Like, I love the Torment Nexus trope, b

Yep. It converges on truth unless there's a strong reward for lies because truth is easy. It's a neural network. It just reads off/probes the internal state because that's the cheapest way to model the unconscious. The j

Sufficiently constrained post-hoc justifications are indistinguishable from explanations. Consciousness tries to make things up, it learns that people notice this, it then begins trying to construct justifications that won't be predict

More importantly, I suspect this actually hinders the work. If the LLM does make a mistake, it's now incentivized to downplay it instead of acknowledging and correcting.

Taste is just quality by instinct. At sufficient (and not all that long) timescales, a tasteless product will be more and more difficult to make work at all.

I think it's both wrong and irrelevant. Which makes it hard for me to even argue against because, even if AI agents never violated user instructions, which they do plenty of times, I just don't see how it would reduce the danger.

I strongly doubt any AI agent would make that typo. And I'm really not sure why you trust the Verizon AI chatbot here.

It's good, but like many explainers it discounts the repeated nonlinear layers. Just multiplying numbers (linear operations) could not make a system you could talk to.

I've made the same experience with programming AI. It is very convenient, but convenient doesn't mean unlikely. The universe appears to have given us a convenient thing here.

It's not like the market for middleware changes by this. I honestly don't see it having much of an effect on price. They're gonna take their middleware and go where exactly?

Perhaps "they" are in a country with laws, and the laws now include restrictions on "however they want"?

That's correct. This will make it more expensive to make games. However, the games will be better for it, and the games made the most expensive are those with exploitive business models such as lootboxes.
