Silly and funny today, but down the road, if AI code-generation capabilities continue to improve at a rapid rate, I can totally see "enterprise software developers" resorting to something like this when they are under intense pres

I'm not sure there's a choice. The economic incentives are too strong. Like it or not, those individuals who figure out (i.e., learn) how to leverage AI to do more, faster, and (eventually) better will have an advantage over those

I read the article. Those kids are definitely learning how to think, just not in the way educators wish. One of the girls quoted said she loves writing, but finds it helpful to get structure and initial content from generative AI. The kid a

The definition of "cheating" will change... because those students are, in fact, learning . They are learning how to accomplish a lot more, a lot faster, with AI. That's a valuable skill -- one of the most valuable skills

The charter of a public-benefit corporation gives the company's board and management a bit of legal cover for making decisions that don't serve to maximize, or may even limit, financial returns to shareholders, when those decision

Just when I thought I'd seen everything, here comes organized fighting with actual machetes -- oh, and without protective gear.

The OP looks like good work, but it's definitely not a quick read. The authors claim theoretical breakthroughs that enable: * a data-free LLM quantization method which they claim outperforms all prior data-free approaches, including

Indeed. Power-hungry authoritarians, demagogues, and ideologues of all stripes (ethnic, religious, etc.) have always viewed books as dangerous. Just look at the long list of major book-burning incidents throughout history: https:/&#x2

Great find! Thank you for sharing the OP on HN. There's no evidence that "Agua Tofana" ever existed, and yet, for centuries, Europeans widely believed it was real, and widely feared it as a colorless, odorless, tasteless, und

Sorry, but the OP is all fluffy hype, zero substance. There are no explanations, no links to research, and no links to code. When the author mentions "memory," what does that mean? Is this about RAG-style memory? I'm not su

Yup, hallucinations are still a big problem for LLMs. Nope, there's no reliable solution for them, as of yet. There's hope that hallucinations will be solved by someone, somehow, soon... but hope is not a strategy. There's

Genuine question: Should a government be able to revoke the tax-exempt status of a university because the university will not agree to give the government, first, the right to "audit" the viewpoints of students, professors, and ad

Worth reading in its entirety. The following four paragraphs, about post-WWII funding of science in Britain versus the US, are spot-on, in my view: > Britain’s focused, centralized model using government research labs was created in a s

The title is an exaggeration. OpenAI is a systemic risk only to current tech valuations and to the near-term availability of fresh capital for new AI infrastructure. Whatever happens to OpenAI -- and to valuations, and to the availability o

I'd be shocked if X is not training AI models with every bit of user data that has ever touched the company's servers. I'd be as shocked as Captain Renault in Casablanca: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjbP

As much as I disagree with Marcus whenever he opens his mouth on AI, I wholeheartedly agree with him on this : A functioning democracy requires that academics, journalists, and law firms remain independent of the state.

Three things: 1. On the face of it, this looks horrible. I won't rehash the many arguments against it here, though. This page is already chock-full of those arguments. 2. Robot labor could make ultra-low-cost manufacturing possible in

I view this as compelling evidence that current models are more than "stochastic parrots," because as the OP shows, they are learning to model the world in ways that are similar (up to a linear transformation) to those exhibited b
