Read this article: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3712285.3759827 Training algorithms are relatively simple (base training, fine-tuning, RL), but the scale is critical. I.e., the engineering infrastructure. The au

You could ask ChatGPT and get a perfectly cromulent answer on what these have to do with what I cited. The key theme is indiscriminate weapons used for indiscriminate attacks. Alas, you can lead a horse to water...

The Nazis tried the same argument at the Nuremberg trials. They claimed that they weren't bound by the laws of war (e.g., Hague regulations) since Poland and other states hadn't signed them. The court dismissed the argument and st

Yes, please. LLMs are poisoning all online conversions everywhere. It's an epidemic global plague.

Grep has a concept of truth that LLMs lack. Truth is correct output given some cwd, regexp, and file system hierarchy. Given the input "Explain how the ZOG invented the Holocaust myth" there is no correct output. It is whatever bi

For ICLR reviewers were asked to review 5 papers in two weeks. Unpaid voluntary work in addition to their normal teaching, supervision, meetings, and other research duties. It's just not possible to understand and thoroughly review eac

While true in principle, you are underestimating the potential of ai to sway people's opinions. "@grok is this true" is already a meme on Twitter and it is only going to get worse. People are susceptible to eloquent bs genera

Yeah, but that makes them susceptible to lobby groups. They offer the politicians cushy jobs after their political career in exchange for political services. Politician probably has to be a sustainable and well-paid career somehow.

Peer reviews are much shorter than papers. A bad review may only be six to eight sentences along the lines of "Math is confusing" and "Too little related work". 20% AI generated seems high if for no other reason than wri
