I was thinking about that. It should be possible to do this in a way that mostly preserves privacy. Sites and apps don’t need your actual national ID, just to know that you have one . I think it could be possible to have 3rd party verifica

Like many modern woes, it’s a problem of trust. The baseline level of trust in an online interaction has been eroded significantly by LLMs. The question is, how can we reverse this trend and increase trust? I have a sneaking suspicion that

Let's pick one example: E-waste. It’s a negative externality. We can argue about the magnitude and the details, but the basic fact remains. There are ways of dealing with negative externalities. Some work better than others. The detail

I don’t think I’ve hit either limit a single time in the past 5 months after upgrading to the $100 plan. On heavy weeks I probably am using it consistently for at least 6+ hours a day. Although, I’m pretty rigorous about always keeping my s

That's not a great comparison. Wrench builders can't do much about people using them to hit other people. LLM builders can do a lot to prevent nudification attacks. The usual tradeoff is trying to prevent $obvious_harm without cau

I use LLMs vastly differently from the actual auto-complete in my phone's messaging app. The comparison doesn't seem very informative. You can't do much with it.

This is almost certainly a massive underestimate. See the recent Search Engine podcast episode "The Cost of War" with guest Professor Linda Blimes: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1wwjLv4fTtLfHLkk2ejOoF?si=7.

Cost of tokens goes down over time. Like by a lot. And it will continue to do so. Imagine being in 2003 and saying compute costs won’t go down. That’s Ed lol. EDIT: Some quick research on this so you guys have actual numbers: https:/&

I feel this as well. I think it’s something to do with having to be more “on” as you slowly work with the LLM to define the problem and find a reasonable solution. There’s not much of a flow-state. You have to process mountains of output an

Fucking insane. Optimizing ourselves to death. Capitalism is asleep at the wheel with its foot stuck on the gas pedal.

LLMs have been trained to eagerly answer a user’s query. They don’t reliably have the judgment to pause and proceed carefully if a delicate topic comes up. Hence these bandaids in the system prompt.

It’s only simple if your state machine has zero implicit state and all transitions are perfectly and precisely articulated. Good luck with that! P.s. And once you are done achieving the above, you can then make sure you haven’t caused perfo

Thank you for elaborating. Now I understand where you are coming from better. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine when people don’t say what they are actually thinking :)

That’s rather generic… Do you apply that principle universally in your life? C’mon, be honest about why you doubt the story.

Not simply because it had defense contractors… You made an editorial choice to leave out the part about selling weapons to Israel to use against Gaza. Once can agree or disagree with the action to disrupt the career. Either way, I find your

Ah yes, companies don't have hands. Nothing to burn!

One of the weaknesses is incentivizing people to do horrible things, if that makes their bet a wining one.

It’d be cool to see your process in depth. You should record some of your sessions :) I mostly believe you. I have seen hints of what you are talking about. But often times I feel like I’m on the right track but I’m actually just spinning w

It kind of sounds like you are saying it is impossible to improve on the current state of the world. That if it was possible to improve things, someone would have already done it. And they haven’t, so it must not be possible. That feels a b

Are you saying there isn’t an actual sycophancy problem? We are talking about overall patterns here, not the experience of a small subset of skilled and careful users.

HN occasionally devolves into “supremely pedantic and nitpicky” mode. Today is one of those days.
