Is there anything that can legally be done against this? It feels like a breach of consent. Like, it cannot be that when one accept their voice to be recorded for _human_ training they also accept it to be recorded for LLM training

Isn’t that the same? It’s a sort of recursive version of overfitting specific benchmarks

That’s exactly why I don’t believe LLMs will cure cancer anytime soon, make terrible lawyers, shouldn’t be trusted for medical decisions, etc. software and maths are some really the niches where we have great, battle tested, reliable valida

WTH did I just watch. That’s extremely weird

What do you mean?

If you say so. I’ve been following the development of both groups since almost a decade, I’m pretty confident I understand their concepts and what values they stand for

To be fair, the AI boosters are saying the exact same thing but mean it seriously. There is no way to distinguish without a tone indicator

There is a reason NVIDIA and the hyperscalers are injecting so much money into them

Well, you’re lucky. I had to change laptop memory sticks a few times. Though not since they are soldered directly to the motherboard

Are you implying you would decide to sacrifice citizens health for a few GDP points, a somewhat useful but oversimplified metric that doesn’t reflect anything tangible?

Yep :(

Switching to a different AI vendor has way less friction than switching between phone ecosystem

I consider DOGE actions to be pretty much exactly what you describe, with their sudden destruction of USAID and defunding of climate science

The Effective Altruism(tm) believers are part of the accelerationist. See SBF, the Amodei Siblings, Karnofsky (spouse of Daniela Amodei), and people around them

The US controls most of the capital in the industry, including most of the compute used for training. And also, NVIDIA, arguably the most important actor in the industry

With all the infrastructure work needed to adapt to a changing climate that’s very unlikely to happen. Assuming we decide to take the threat seriously

I’ve been at multiple hackathons over the past 15y that rewarded impractical or copies of existing products. And I think that’s fine? A hackathon doesn’t have to be about creating something revolutionary IMHO. Still LLMs do remove most of t

No one is running that locally because of the AI bubble consuming all the hardware in the industry. That won’t be the case long term though

Do you have examples of such moonshots? Ideally not themselves AI related
860.
by dgellow 3mo ago
The effective altruist and longtermist crowd are into it as a religion. They would happily sacrifice anything human to satisfy their dreams of AI. They care way more about what the AI needs than their what their fellow humans need. We will

Because we believe the revenue is artificially inflated

If they don’t vote they are ok with the status quo

And the millions who voted for him and would do it again in a heartbeat

Why would you ever give the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt after the past 10y? They’ve been more than clear about the fact they want to destroy federal and scientific institutions (other than ICE of course)

People are indeed special, in the sense that what we consider creativity, art, etc are human concepts. They are an expression of humanness, and are evaluated against human experience and human expectations. It’s what comes from a collective

It doesn’t, no, I reacted to your comment, not your website :)

Aren’t you all paid really well in the US? (I assume you’re in the US, given the general audience of this website) I would be really surprised if the majority of HN audience didn’t have decent savings, unless SF is really as expensive as pe

In 2026 a site should not look made by Claude to feel trustworthy, IMHO

In that case you can ignore the article, if it is really significant for layman you will see more articles in the coming weeks/months with simpler explanations

That’s already what we currently have. Look for “temperature” in the context of LLMs. They are already tuned to have variance.
