This is covered exactly in the post right under that sentence. Why just restate it?

Sure but with how many people who use AI without disclosing that they are... and the profit incentive it'd only need one person to make a chat focused on non-watermarking that makes it trivial. Im pretty sure said services already exis

Its weird to me that this is supposed to be THE end goal. Having an agent that does "everything" for you sounds like no paradise. It sounds depressing. Maybe there is value in expending effort and actual creativity.

Sure, but why doesn't said business partner just give a requirement to the AI to do the business partner's own job? Since it is hypothetically superhuman at fulfilling requirements at such a point... PMs seem pretty easy to replac

The no capitals is really hard for me. Especially given the font "i" makes me think of the imaginary number and I get mentally derailed even though I know it's not. Or maybe it's just eyestrain I understand why you might

And similar to the low quality of developers... If you are even thinking about writing clean and testable code, having clearly defined API boundaries, and keeping a repeatable build process, you are probably already significantly above av

"Solved" (heavy quotes) because instiutionalizing dozens of millions of people with no improvement is a massive crime in and of itself. That's like those stories of LLMs saying "I fixed the vulnerability in your app&quot

"The model refuses to follow my specific word detail prompts" and "The model refuses to perform hacking attempts" are on the same side of the model refusing to do something baked into it though.

They can, but what would make them think their initial misunderstanding is even wrong? While some might think "surely the system isn't like that..." many would default to "of course they want to steal my money" etc.

I think because the gradient is simply too confusing for laypeople to understand. Even for a simple system like US social security that has a gradient. For every $2 you make over the limit, you lose $1 in benefits. I've heard countless

I think the methodology is interesting, but you can probably design a similar, and probably better loop for "diving" into a topic and going through examples than is presented. I have to imagine they just asked Claude to dive into

Slop aimed towards children has practically _always_ existed. The "100,000 whys" naming reminds me of an old "700000 games" CD AI slop is just a more complete reimplementation of the "shovelware" from the 90s

That license IS any copy left license, but nobody will trust a random fork is my understanding. I can agree though that the network effect of "everyone else uses X" is pretty unfortunate and has led to a lot of other issues too, s

You are correct, but especially in current day that analogy is quite bad. I expect Median LoC might be very high with the average developer using AI these days... but the dev who is making atomic changes that are fixing the AI output is pro

That does not sound at all reassuring, that the only safeguard is the system blocking access and that the API has no safeguard. Its also easily possible to have sensitive files misplaced, especially for a general non-technical user that w

I would also imagine the majority of people used to RLHF on AI could have English not as a first language. I have no expertise in this area, but I feel like the tuning at that phase would also affect the "voice", "tone",
