Imagine it were so simple that we had not figured out 1-6 before in all of our research and management principles over the centuries? Like as though it needs to be stated? I mean ... There's a very weird thing they like to do in Silico

You need to look up what 'ad hominem' and 'straw' men are because you've also misused those terms. --> "Why? Well it's fairly obvious that some things like the internet are having some sort of a role,&q

It's wrong to suggest that vacancy rates are are necessarily sign of housing dysfunction. Areas that are attractive to live always have low vacancy rates, because there's a reason that people want to live there. The assumption tha

"It's obvious that the internets is doing something so let's blame vaccines for autism ... ... because hey, look at the thing we used to do that was bad!" Is exactly the kind of absolutely horrible logic that RFK Jr. spe

RFK is a socialite born into centre left 'American Nobility', who, throughout his life was able to get by by being 'the face' of whatever organization, on the magazine cover of whatever. Eventually, he touched a real ner

dont confuse 'anti right' with 'left'. There's a huge component of the left which is quite directly 'anti-authority', which they see in 'the right' in classical form. It's a form of personal

You are not running SOTA models locally, the gap is material. At least for now ... but by next year, the models we can run locally might cross that 'risk' threshold.

I see your point but, from a systems perspective they are pragmatically non-deterministic. The use of LLM in any system creates non-determinism in any practical sense.

by bluegatty 10d ago
The SOTA models are heavily 'guardrailed' today; they won't let you do all sorts of things.

It's fair to have a cynical take but that's not what modernism is and modernism is not necessarily ugly.

I think that the AI people believe in their own nonsense a bit. Like - the guy on TV talking about 'AI will destroy everything' ... I don't think he's lying. I think they are like we here on HN and Reddit and a bit caugh

People are complaining at that font should take another look. I think there's something maybe special going on there. Probably unintentional ... but I swear reading 'word at a time' the words are in a way clearer, like your m

Yes. There should be no doubt at who is culpable here.

I'm inclined to want to agree ... but that's not how it works with limited liability corps. At least we have laws for what OpenAI 'does' to others, in whatever form.

It's not 'under the carpet'. HF doesn't want to lay charges against OpenAI and it's totally reasonable. Now - they absolutely should have that right, and I think they do. The issues are 1) OAI it seems was not tryin

Tobacco companies 'liability' is completely different scenario. They were held responsible for basically misleading people, and that's 'complicated'. If OpenAI 'software' goes out and does something, it&

I didn't imply that all of their gross was going into ads. I'm highlighting that the gross on commodity consumer goods is huge - and that it just pays for mounds of white collar bureaucracy, including advertising, and yes 25 point
