I guess it wasn't secure. After seeing the code that got released in the recent leak what would we expect? Did they vibecode a "secure sandbox" that another model found an exploit in? Or it's like the other "AI went

It works as far as consolidating existing human knowledge, but general intelligence doesn't suddenly emerge from it. They're out of data now but if there was 10x more (assuming it's not rehashed from existing data) and they h

How can it ever play against itself on novel software tasks? First it has to come up with the task. Then it can write tests but then it needs to verify that the tests are correct, mixture of experts can come to wrong conclusions, etc...

People that are good liars are good at it because they are lying to themselves at the same time. Even if they can initially compartmentalize I believe after a while it gets them too.

I always did apache, I think AGPL would make it less useful for the honest people and the AI companies would find a way around it. Companies in foreign countries would still get it and then the companies here could get it from them, or some

I'm not seeing how the benefits have outweighed the positives at this point. Spam, scams, porn, being inundated with slop, people losing their skills and getting dumber, mass surveillance... Is that worth possibly maybe saving some tim

There's plenty of people communicating more with LLMs than humans right now, of course it's going to have an effect because our language and thought patterns are extremely adaptive to our environment. The communication system we a

This is my current fear, even if I choose not to use it if everyone around me does their way of speaking is all going to become more chatbot-esque. It already seems to be transferring to people its false sense of confidence, and its lack of

I get what you're saying, but psychosis is a very real thing that humans can fall into and I experienced it myself once. Humility is the real cure, and there is a way that LLMs are specifically designed to steer away from humility and

I was listening to one of Altman's more recent interviews and it sounded like he himself has LLM induced psychosis.

Point is that LLMs could be a local minima we are now economically stuck in until the hype wears off.

The AI CEOS and most of their employees are in the same place as that guy. They're just in a more professional context and will be careful not to let their delusions of grandeur look too insane. I remember watching the fitness function

Becoming dependent on those platforms was bad too, but this feels like another level. Making your entire engineering team dependent on a shady company with an apocalyptic fantasy as their business plan just seems insane.

Pre-training is not a good term if you are trying to compare it to LLM pre-training. Closer would be the model's architecture and learning algorithms which has been designed through decades of PhD research, and my point on that is that

Yeah the whole fearmongering is clearly just marketing at this point. Your LLM isn't going to suddenly gain sentience and destroy humanity if it has 10x more parameters or trains on 10x more reddit threads. I'm not even sure we&#x

What is the value he adds anyway, being a delusional cult leader where most people around him characterize him as a sociopath? Is it just his ability to lie and create fear-hype? It's not like he had anything to do with the technical a

Not just the greed. The whole AI is so dangerous that we must be the ones to build it to save humanity, and then gaslighting yourself and everyone around you into believing that your language model is AGI. This is some weird detached from r

This is the epitome of learned helplessness, that you need a neuroscience paper to tell you what thinking and knowledge is when you experience it directly all the time, and can't tell that an LLM doesn't have it. Something is extr

Yes, we do. Humans share the statistical association ability that LLMs possess, but also conscious meaning and understanding. This is a difference in kind and means that we can generalize beyond the statistical pattern associations that we&

The friction is mostly learned helplessness it seems since software is easier to install than ever. But it's there nonetheless and the play store discoverability is pretty much gone, so yeah that's why I can't develop mobile

As a developer web never really felt like real programming to me, because it wasn't designed to be when browsers were just displaying html pages. So it took an evolving set of hacks to get something like web applications running.

>> The crazy part is how many teams still treat the web as the demo and the app as the “real” product. But that's just the technical reality of what can be implemented on web vs. native because you are within an ephemeral browser

WASM apps get around this for the most part but there's so many more layers between the app and the hardware for web apps compared to native, plus it's javascript. And a lot of the cross-platform frameworks use a javascript bridge

Sites are supposed to get more reliable as they grow and have more resources to allocate specifically towards site reliability.
