Yeah, I clocked it as AI the moment I read "Here is the uncomfortable part". Pangram detects it as 100% AI-generated: https://www.pangram.com/history/c410d4b4-abfd-4ca0-b52d-db0d...

Hey, just FYI to everyone: Even though this article is conveying good (and useful) information, it seems to be completely AI-generated. Pangram clocks it as 100% AI: https://www.pangram.com/history/c410d4b4-abfd-4ca0-b5

Whether or not someone is entitled to something has very little bearing on whether someone believes they are entitled to something (and are willing to waste everyone's time to make a stink about it). Having clear rules to point to,

> they don’t understand I have not seen any instance of this frequently-made assertion which is at all justified. It seems to rely on a definition of "understand" which is more about spirituality than actual observable evidence

The definition has already been stretched to not fit the previous models. There is no meaningful, static definition that significantly predates current capabilities. There's a reason why ai xrisk doomers had to come up with the term

That's already been true for a while, you're overestimating the average human. They just have different failure modes.

The main relevant difference between the former and all of the latter is that we're generally fine with regulating the labor market, but (liberals at least) are generally much less willing to regulate the interpersonal relationships

If you mean "set up an equivalent service" under your own domain, that's both less private and more likely to be blocked; there are a lot of services which, unfortunately, only allow sign-ups from big, well-known domains.

I'm less confident in that. To me the way the announcement reads as malicious compliance -- this administration is extremely petty in its dealings, and it's not outside the realm of possibility they asked for and would have accept

On the matter of being without taste -- which I assume the author is using as a self-derogatory descriptor for not having skill in UI design -- the styling of links on this page could use some change. The link color is so close to the body

Good addition. Fully agreed on that point, yes. (At the very least for larger models, if not also for smaller ones)
