The fact that even the abstract is very clearly AI-generated does not fill me with confidence in the rigour of the research.

The user is of course responsible for this, but I don't think all the blame rests with him. He's using a tool that he pays for, that has been sold to him as hyper-capable and autonomous (even with the small-text warning about it b

Zitron's predictions have often been wrong; they've still been less wrong than those of the people who disagree with him.

My experience is that management consultants love AI; they're oddly blind to it compared to other professions, and they're the first to start using it everywhere. The immediate surface appearance of quality is catnip to them. This

This is not good advice. It can take a while to find medication or therapy that works for you, but developing a drinking problem is not the answer.

AI-generated anything sends a message of 'I do not care about quality'. You might feel that that's unfair, but it's the impression you're making on a large segment of your potential audience.

I do think you have to consider predictions in the context of the world around them; he's been incorrect, sure, but has he been more incorrect than the predictions of those opposing him? Being less wrong than others is the same as be

One of these is a much weaker claim than the other. > yes, LLM's can definitely function in an open world where the rules are fuzzy, changing, undefined, etc. > At the very least, much better than all GOFAI approaches by far

The EFF has managed to keep to the letter of its principles while discarding the spirit of them; it's now defending enormous commercial concerns that hoover up and hoard data, at the expense of people creating and sharing information.

I take your point, but those are also all things you can control and manage, albeit indirectly.

The point of DF, to a large extent, is precise control and detail. It's the opposite of the approach taken by AI games that want to generalise based on simple prompts.

The actual problem here is weirdly aggressive nerds who are incapable of nuance, and insist that an astronomical classification (Pluto is not a planet by the IAU definition) should be used in non-astronomical contexts. Historically and cult

This is AI-generated without even the faintest effort put into polishing the result. The site's tagline is > For collectors & dealers who take books seriously But they can't even take writing one article seriously; I'm

It is a useful definition, because it allows you to talk about places where the law might be unjust. You can't have a functioning democracy if it's impossible to criticise the current setup. This is the whole idea behind newspeak

This seems harder to read than SQL, and only less verbose if you assume that an SQL database would be built with Prela's limitations in mind, which doesn't feel like a reasonable assumption.

What value are you providing in this scenario?

Your brain is incredibly adept at pattern recognition; it doesn't focus on LLM-generated text for the same reason it doesn't stare at wallpaper. We've all learnt that it's not really communication, and so can be dispense

I disagree; it remains impressive that we can generate video at all, of course, but it's still got the moment-to-moment incoherence that we've seen for years now, and that's before you get to the quality as a whole.

> I have no doubt in my mind that right now [...] an amateur with a high-end last-gen GPU or somebody with maybe a thousand bucks worth of AI credits [...] can crank out a high quality 1h+ feature film with only minor uncanny artifacts.

Generated prose is devoid of meaningful semantic content. The one takeaway I got from this article is that deepsql.ai are the last people I would trust to handle this problem, because they can't even explain it themselves.

You've got it backwards, I think. The people in tech are the ones falling for this endlessly.

What do you think '86' means? Do you understand that it is not literally the word 'murder'?
84.
by Planktonne 2mo ago
Nonsense. Using the most motivated possible reasoning, you can just about stretch to an implicit call for murder but - Definitely not an explicit one - There are far stronger non-murder interpretations

A company with no respect for copyright law can't pretend they respect it when it is convenient for them; it's disingenuous, and shows that there is clearly another explanation.

If 'steal' doesn't fit, then neither do 'eavesdrop' or 'spied'.

I think your comment is an example of why lots of people prefer to work remotely: the 'enforced fun' of it all. Why is it a problem for you that they don't enjoy eating in canteens? Why does working with you mean signing up t

Of course not. Because the article uses the words 'thought' and 'reasoning' and even 'faithful' to mean something other than their normal meanings, but then expects them to behave exactly the same. Every field
