Being signed into Google doesn't really figure into Cloudflare's systems at all, haven't for years. They replaced ReCaptcha ages ago.

The code for expert systems and especially decision trees can be audited. How do you audit a language model's decisions when it could have had hidden trigger phrases that subtly influence its reasoning baked into it?

Because they use a commercial service (AT Internet) for analytics and visitor tracking as stated in their cookies policy and cookie inventory. This information is readily available through the cookie banner.

If it was overtrained on academic papers it'd reiterate the point multiple times for structure. Instead, it's burying the lede seemingly just to pad.

The stigma surrounding AI use will get worse if... People know AI is being used? Sorry how does maintaining heightened paranoia by omitting clear signals help exactly?

Presumably it'll either mean selling "agent seats", or billing seats for every started hour of use. With a monthly minimum, of course.

The downside, as stated in the message, is implicitly supporting the LLM data ingestation pipeline by providing fresh content. It's not a direct harm in itself, but feels very tragedy of the commonsy

Generally when I read a literal genie story, the message isn't 'well it was reasonable of the genie to do this'. It's more commonly either a morality tale of the person being wrong to ask for whatever it was they asked f

The user-facing string stuff is definitely the thing that drives me the most nuts. I guess it's nice that it defaults to gag-inducingly transparent, but I don't think the backend structure should be written out in the title elemen

LLMs very much operate on the level of text. That text can represent ideas, but it can also directly be a copyrighted work. I am however very interested in the novel interpretation of copyright that says that you can do whatever as long as

Destroying unsold clothes is financially the most efficient thing to do. It remains unclear to me how taking actions to maintain higher markups on products would be socially efficient in any way. Companies of course can keep doing it, t

There's a bunch of lines before the 7th paragraph that say stuff like "suggests" and immediately before the line you quoted, "Although the material is scarce on the subject,". That's just the nature of history,

If it's anywhere close to the same universe as smaller models in its behavior, a lot of time in "thinking" mode is spent on reiterating on any constraints given in a prompt. So the more constraints you give it, the more token

How is pasting an article into an LLM going to get you a neutral opinion? It'll be at best an 'opinion' that aligns towards the fine tune dataset used by the org that made the LLM. I'd rather people own their own bias an

Conventional web technologies already can handle this kind of use case, either by wrapping an image in a link tag, or using an alt= value.

Sounds like a bad idea in general. Any data use agreements get lost, shadow-IT brews and nobody knows what tools to use, oh and it's against the service terms.

I don't understand why they'd hand over those data points over to the model in the first place. If it's in the context window, it's impacting the output. To ensure that no weight is placed on those factors, they should b

I'm imagining it, and it'd at best be the same as if you gave your website to an ad sales agent without any instructions as to what your actual product or target audience is. At worst it'd be writing copy that is fully fabric

I'd also strongly endorse its on-the-street mobile app counterpart, StreetComplete. Splitting stuff into tiny tasks you can focus on really helps if you're just out on foot in an area.

The post title about it being "pixel-faithful" is a bit strange. I don't see that claim in the repo, and they don't seem to even claim full feature support at the moment. And for the features marked as supported in .pptx
