You should not just be open to being transparent, you need to understand that there will be times you will be required to be transparent about the tools you’ve used and the ultimate origin of your contributions, and that trying to evade or

Exactly. Yet some here are saying that this just serves as an incentivize to hide AI use.

Submitting a PR also means you’re not submitting code copied from elsewhere without calling that out and ensuring license compatibility, we don’t refer to that as incentivizing lying about the origin of submitted code. Fraud and misrepresen

Holding one’s own against Stephen Wolfram isn’t exactly the endorsement it might seem.

It makes a lot of sense when you realize that for many of the “leaders” in this community like Yudkowsky, their understanding of science (what it is, how it works, and its potential) comes entirely from reading science fiction and playing v

There is no English expression “on mass.” The expression used by English speakers are the French words _en masse_.

Unfortunate to see more of this horseshit.

It’s all so horrible and obvious.

It’s not even a centralized task scheduler on its native UNIX: iI’s a centralized *userspace* task scheduler. Mainframe and minicomputer operating systems support scheduling in the operating system itself, as part of their process/thre

Six of one, half a dozen of the other: The software that took advantage of the graphics hardware ran on IRIX, and your system administrators and software developers would also probably need IRIX systems, but without as much need for the gra

You can get a TURBOchannel adapter for the VAXstation 4000/60 or /90 and it also has a MIPS emulator for running TURBOchannel card ROMs.

Nah. I’m pretty sure I’m not the one being deluded here.

Yarvin isn’t really on the political spectrum so much as he’s in favor of abolishing it in favor of absolute rule.
196.
by eschaton 1y ago
A perfectly reasonable and proper reaction to learning who and what Yarvin is. What does it say about Musk that he’d ask Yarvin for political advice? (Nothing surprising, to those of us who have been paying attention…)

The above poster is basically just repeating libertarian “free market cannot fail” talking points, and probably feels terribly aggrieved that they have to pay for other people to use the roads or have their fires put out or have health care

The model isn’t doing any of those things, you’re still making the same fundamental mistake as the people in the article and attributing intent to it as if it’s a being. The model is just producing tokens in response to inputs. It knows n

This is the case with plenty of commenters here too, and why I push back so much against the people anthropomorphizing and attributing thought and reasoning to LLMs. Even highly technical people operating in a context where they should know

And everyone needs to recognize and treat it as such, for all it’s worth.

by eschaton 1y ago
Also, just because you did pay attention doesn’t mean it’s not idiotic. The patchwork of interpretations and requirement to sue is a guarantee of unequal treatment under the law, which is exactly what autocrats want.

That’s the end goal. And to take over the other states too.

Also, if a human is writing a business plan or something that claims to be a comparative analysis of two plans but is just writing whatever comes to mind without analysis, the result shouldn’t actually be taken any more seriously than the o

by eschaton 1y ago
It can result in something that looks like/reads as a decent-ish business plan, or an analysis of one or two. But that doesn’t make it such because despite outward appearances no amount of planning, analysis, or comparative analysis ac

What do you think the LLM is doing when you give it this type of prompt?
208.
by eschaton 1y ago
It’s a whole lot less ridiculous—especially when discussed in a context where there’s an assumption that analysis is taking place—than attributing any sort of “thought” to LLMs at all .

by eschaton 1y ago
If it helps you avoid the errors inherent in anthropomorphizing an LLM, then yes, you should be saying it. Right now, way too many people are extremely sloppy in not just their language but in their thinking around LLMs, both what they are

by eschaton 1y ago
Your phrasing betrays your anthropomorphization of the LLM: > If an LLM can write a decent-ish business plan, An LLM does not write anything in the way a person does, by coming up with what they want to say and then developing supporti
