I was curious what the laws in Michigan might say about that, since it seems both plausible and absurd that attempted murder codes might apply. The below was originally sourced by Claude Opus and written by some random kid, so I would obvio

Yup. There's not a lot of legit reporting on this just yet, but it's also breaking news -- they're presumably verifying as we speak. The only way this is somehow fake is if 1. The driver published an old video out of context

IDK, compute isn't really that precious. If $20/mo can get you many (?) invocations of their research agent, I feel like it could pretty easily be worth it to screen applications for jobs that pay $350K/year -- and that&#x2

This is a very interesting experiment, and props to the team involved! Exploring the frontiers of the possible is almost always worthwhile. That said, in my humble (amateur!) opinion the framing from IEEE leaves a little to be desired, for

Yeah... Just stay on your toes, I guess. Be open to being wrong, for the sake of you and those around you. FWIW, "Elon Musk lies" is not a great counterpoint to an overwhelming scientific consensus.

I'm not a conspiracy person, but it's hard not to believe that some cruel god sent us crypto just a few years before we accidentally achieved AGI just to mess with us. So many people are confident that AGI is impossible and LLMs

Ok there's some sort of bot war going on with the leaderboard, right? The Palestine fish has 370,000 votes total (both up & down), which seems like a lot. Does HN really drive that kind of traffic??

Not quite -- it's certainly a famous related hypothetical/sub-problem, but the original is a much more fundamental point about human cognition being inherently representational. The phrase was coined[0] by Alfred Korzybski who has

It's interesting and funny and indicative of a broader problem in open-source development, reaching not only technical projects but also stuff like Wikipedia. 90% of the reason I'm here is for the discussion, not literally for the

If they aren't just tools, what are they? I wrote a lot more below, but I think you've picked up on two important things here: 1. This post seems likely to have been written with the assistance of a chatbot, which explains

Interesting and well written, thanks for posting! That said, I think there's ample reason to file this under "writer steeped in SV-coded libertarianism unintentionally rediscovers the arguments in favor of socialism." The

Chatbots identify themselves very often in casual/non-technical chats AFAIK -- for example, when people ask it for its opinion on something, or about its past. Re:sed, I'm under the impression that most chatbots are pretty pure-ML

All right on, but your comment reminded me that they are innovating in the marketing space, or at least trying — last spring, they ran a sizeable ad campaign on Reddit for https://www.naturaldiamonds.com/natural-diamond-ty

As far as I use it, it's much less AI-forward, providing more of a straightforward search experience. They are adding AI tools, but it's definitely an addition rather than the core of the UX. I happen to prefer that and just rel

Awesome post, love Kagi and learned some new things. One small gripe tho: publishing a "block list" and implying its for SEO sites, but then including sites like Facebook, Medium, WebMD, NyPost, Quora, TikTok, etc. is just goofy.

I mean... LLMs have not yet discovered a business model that justifies the massive expenditure of training and hosting them, The only way one could say such a thing is if they think chatbots are the only real application.

It’s just the natural counterpart to dogmatic inevitabilism — dogmatic denialism. One denies the present, the other the (recent) past. It’s honestly an understandable PoV though when you consider A) most people understand “AI” and “chatbot”

I had the same thought, glad you phrased it so succinctly! Surprisingly, a Holocaust-denying white nationalist is not someone you should trust on matters concerning global anthropology.

Legally speaking, they need signed arrest warrants. Being "multi-generation" (aka "clearly white"?) doesn't factor into it -- all residents are owed this protection, AFAIK. In this way, they have much less power tha
