Bing's RLHF is a mess compared to ChatGPT. Hopefully they can improve it, but the instruction following leaves something to be desired.

The enormous majority of CEOs sit on their board, and that's absolutely proper, as the CEO sets the agenda for the organization. (Although they typically are merely one of 8+ members, diluting their influence a bit.)

Virtually all non-compete agreements are illegal and void in California. Limited exceptions exist for LPs, etc, but they do not apply here.

What if OAI's entire research organization follows him? Surely it's one of the best teams working today.

Microsoft is also OpenAI's main cloud provider, so they certainly have some leverage.

I don't think total organizational chaos and fracture is "exactly as designed." The board was designed to have independent veto power in the name of ethical AGI, but they broke the emergency glass for apparently no real rea

This can't be right -- Microsoft must already have GPT-4 weights, because they have an in-house fine tune to power Bing Creative.

Did they think the DMV wasn't going to find out? Lying by omission to a regulator is just insanely irresponsible behavior. It's not surprising at all that the DMV pulled their operating permit.

Intel is being eaten alive by its competitors, including AMD. Seems overly punitive and detached from reality.

I'm sure there is a selection bias. But if AVs are really an improvement, Cruise should prove it to the CPUC with actual data. Otherwise, I'll continue to believe outrageous videos [like this]( https://twitter.com/f

I feel like I'm being gaslit by the AV companies, especially Cruise. If these cars are so safe, why do I constantly seem them doing sketchy stuff on public roads? Why are there so many videos on Twitter and Reddit of pedestrians lite

Waymo and Cruise won't actually release comprehensive data. So anecdotes are all we have to go by... and they don't look particularly good. These are egregious driving mistakes that a human driver would almost never make. - htt

The plaintiffs should not have had standing. None of the litigant states actually had a direct financial injury; instead, they relied on Missouri's financial interest in MOHELA as the basis for standing. But as Amy Coney Barrett inquir

The court didn't find the HEROES Act unconstitutional; instead, they found that the executive action was not within the language of the HEROES Act. It's pretty bad, in my opinion, that the court even reached the merits, because th

App-based 2FA is offered for both checking and investment accounts at Fidelity, Schwab, and E-Trade. (The common factor is that these are all brokerages first, and banking providers second.) There may be others, but those are the ones I kno

Paris has such well-built bike infrastructure, it's a huge shame to ban scooters, which fit into bike lanes perfectly well.

I love how the Apple status dashboard actually goes red when services are down. You'd think that would be easy, but most companies prefer to lie with their dashboards to meet SLOs.

Wow, what an incredible victory for NZ public health. It's so hard to imagine ever implementing reforms like these in the US. The political resistance would be insurmountable ("individual freedom," etc). It's a good thin

It's a real red flag that he plays stronger moves after the browser window loses focus. I'd argue that's much less circumstantial than anything else so far.

The thread in which he changes the topic from garbage collection to "you should be prioritizing making Emacs a better word processor" is just stunning. Like, no, that's not how it works! This person is a volunteer with a deta
