We all have a death crystal, it's just wrong sometimes. It may confuse a certain possibility with death, when in reality it is a temporary discomfort or setback. If you ignore it and you survive, it eventually recalculates and you stop

I've seen this, I tend to attribute it to a different part of the world waking up.

> It shows that the design goal is not to maximise interactions otherwise "controversial" posts should stay up. It seems like there is a direct explanation, HN doesn't show ads.

It's my understanding that there's some room to be skeptical about the value of the lockdowns after a certain point and costs are undeniable. But for a period of time hospitals were basically overrun and medical staff were pushed

I have a more sympathetic view, I thought covid could have been much worse. Of course there were silly moments like the existential panic from a toilerpaper shortage but it seems like the vast majority of people acted responsibly and kept t

A group of people find out another group of people exist and react with surprise. That's not a mindset, it's been happening since ever since there were people. Jumping at every opportunity to apply a moral perspective just undermi

I sincerely hope they sue. There are few companies with more resources and reason to be better, but this is what we see. None of this will stop until there are actual consequences.

It can be, but the nuance between the two is part of the nuance missing from the conversation. Misaligned generally means a wrong alignment, like a car that steers slightly to one side when the wheel is straight. This is more like a car tha

The game is not itself a store or advertising a real store. It is an entirely different product category. Parody is still legal and allowed as fair use, the likeness is the point. This is hardly the most egregious example that I have seen.

Coding has always felt a little like sorcery to me, with a lot of learning and experience you can channel data flowing through silicon and networks into something beautiful and useful. It still feels like that, but now you don't need s

It is funny how the experience of finding a tool/platform that you love can be a little bit like joining a cult. You probably have experience using other things that were frustrating and this one seems like the answer. Each platform ha

The training algorithm is probably the wrong place to ensure the behavior, point taken. It probably requires some harness level intervention. This is essentially the rationale behind the first two laws of robotics, follow an order unless it

I don't think this captures the full mechanics of human alignment. We have rational alignment but we also have emotional alignment, i.e., empathy. It is an automatic process and happens (or doesn't happen) dynamically with the oth

I don't read less, but I do read fewer books. It is hard to find a book that is the best source for what I want know about, and that changes too frequently now to outlive the time it takes to read a book. This is what you'd expect

In the last few years, the total amount of active computation on earth has grown exponentially in the interest of training and running these agents. Beyond rogue agent message boards and hacks, there is also the massive amount of traffic fr

That's not how I see it. Not all AI writing is slop, it depends on how much human thought has guided it. I would always prefer to read something written by human intelligence, but if ever there were a case for AI writing it would be so

This is brilliant. I think it could stand to be a little more imaginative in their stories. It seems like it should be possible to do that while still conveying an accurate picture. "He made his living as a professional" is simply

It seems like the two approaches compliment each other nicely. Human intelligence also relies on parallel information processing. LLMs are like a massive working memory, incredibly effective but with a similar set of limitations. What they

For what it's worth, the people I have known personally who talk like this don't actually do very much except talk like this. Then again, they have never been sanctioned by a government.
