EDIT: After reading the Matt Levine piece posted by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44497566 , I'm no longer sure this is market manipulation. The devil is in the details, and the details disagree with my initial

Thank you for sharing this. Levine is usually pretty accurate about this stuff. I've changed my mind. See my updated response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44499330

Every provider of AI as a service (AaaS), including OpenAI, has no choice but to spend money like a drunken sailor who recently touched land after being out at sea for a year. The reckless spending is not fueled only by hype and FOMO. Custo

Hardly a sophisticated strategy, indeed, but Jane Street was earning like $1B/year of profit on it, according to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44483691

According to Indian regulators, every trading day Jane Street would: 1) buy large volumes of stocks and/or stock futures that are part of an index tracking India’s banking sector, early in the day, 2) subsequently place large optio

> If you don’t like something, don’t buy it. The OP's point is that increasingly, we don't have that choice, for example, because AI slop masquerades as if it were authored by human beings (that's, in fact, its purpose

Your may agree or disagree with the OP, but this passage is spot-on: "I don’t want AI customer service—but I don’t get a choice. I don’t want AI responses to my Google searches—but I don’t get a choice. I don’t want AI integrated into

Not sure I agree with all of the OP's opinions. I prefer a clean, calm, uncluttered user interface over a noisy, busy, cluttered one. In the OP's example with maps, I'd rather see a full-screen map, instead of a map that is a

Compared to what I think the daily trading volume "should" be (approximately $0.00), $23M sure is a lot!

The new token, USELESS, makes Dogecoin look dignified by comparison. USELESS was launched via LetsBONK.fun, has no utility, no roadmap, and evidently no shame, but it has amassed 12K holders, reaching $23M in peak daily trading volume. You

I like sama and many other folks at OpenAI, but I have to call things how I see them: "What Meta is doing will, in my opinion, lead to very deep cultural problems. We will have more to share about this soon but it's very importan

If you ask the Xfinity managers who came up with this idea whether thieves will be able to buy live information on whether your home is empty from hackers on the dark web, the managers will likely say... nothing. What they will do is look

It could also be that switching model behavior from "good" to "bad" internally requires modifying only a few hidden states that control the "bad to good behavior" spectrum. Fine-tuning the models to do somethin

by cs702 1y ago
TL;DR: Fine-tuning an AI model on the narrow task of writing insecure code induces broad, horrifically bad misalignment. The OP's authors fine-tuned GPT-4o on examples of writing software with security flaws, and asked the fine-tuned

For large tech companies, the investment is not about earning a return. It's about not missing out. It's about staying relevant. It's about avoiding failure. Execs don't want to wake up one day and find their products

It seems they used the most recent models available as of March 2025.

Interesting. Even the most recent models perform relatively poorly when asked to identify which information in a context has been removed, given access to both the original and edited contexts. The authors posit that poor performance is due

Maybe. AI models have continued to scale up at a rapid rate, and have continued to get better at performing ever more impressive tasks. Sure, yes, the OP is breathless corporate-speak, but given how much impressive progress we've see

340 slides. That's a lot , even for Meeker. Many of the slides are packed with details. Who, exactly, has time to read all that stuff? Only AI models, I'd guess.
