Couldn't get through the first line lol. Why would anybody expend time reading something that is probably full of hallucinations? And what's crazy is clearly only a few of us have enough experience with Instruct Mode LLMs to even

When are we gonna get a rule about AI slop submissions? "Don't post generated comments or AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans." Why limit this to comments only? In this case the conversation was literall

Unilateral voluntary foreign aid is not in any way analogous to medical care that creates strict legal obligations when the doctor-patient relationship commences.

That quote of his is relevant for everything Brockman says. That’s the lens through which he views the world. Also, this is not the first time I’ve seen HN staff inexplicably rush to defend Altman or Brockman - I wonder why that is. Maybe s

That isn’t how causation works. By your logic you could argue that if anybody on this planet starves to death then Americans can be blamed and ‘engineered it’, since they had the economic means to prevent it. You’re essentially trying to ar

Yeah bro, the US pulling foreign aid is directly causative of somebody starving to death. lol

There’s nothing wrong or strange about aspiring to be a billionaire but writing about it in your diary like a hormonal teen girl reading fairy tales is a bad look. It’s also difficult to take people seriously if they only care about money o

Pretty apropos and quite ironically encapsulates what Microsoft has turned into over the past few years in particular. Imagine this is some truly errant copilot instance truly embracing its slop destiny. lol

When I worked at a register in my teens we were given gloves to wear. It’s pretty uncontroversial that the paper is hazardous. And when you’re sweating the BPA absorbs into the skin more readily. The issue is more about the dose curve; acco

Well, time to go to Kagi, I guess. Been putting off paying for this shit for as long as possible but at some point I guess it's inevitable. Any decent alternatives? DuckDuckGo was always been awful for me in terms of relevant search re

That VPNs are undoubtedly essential privacy and security tools is precisely the problem the UK government has with them.

I’ll try to simplify my argument for you. Most universities, certainly in the top 50 globally, export a significant share of their student population because a significant share of their student population consists of international students

Huh? I was referring to the 2nd page of the link you submitted earlier. You acted like there are only a few Chinese students at Princeton when they are the overwhelming majority of the graduate international student body. Did you not look a

I don't think you know what racist means. Either way, international students make up a huge percentage of the student population, as evidenced by your documentation. And in fact, it's too funny to me that you specify undergrad - k

How does commercialisation matter when China will pump however much money they need to into this? This is a national security issue for them, just as it is for the US. Not even gonna bother clicking through this one, the title is that egreg

I think anybody who has been paying attention has assumed for at least 20 years that all of Microsoft’s shit is backdoored anyway. I mean, the original Snowden revelations made that abundantly clear if it wasn’t before then. Businesses use

If you are using LLMs for emotional support or social interactions, you’ve got personal problems and that isn’t on the LLM provider to babysit. Same with people who unironically pay for OnlyFans or whatever. I don’t even work in tech and I

I think the main issue is, as the other guy also alluded to, the parameter discrepancy. I know Mixture of Experts models are popular specifically becaue they save a lot of space and memory, but if your initial answer space is two orders of
