Do you work at Cruise?

OK, you must know more than I do about how human feedback is used for tuning large language models.

It's good enough for the routes that Cruise uses in the city.

It's not an allegation. It's the same as using human feedback for tuning large language models. There are no autonomous cars currently regardless of what is written on the marketing brochures. In various "emergency" situ

This is very well written. Thanks for posting. Some time ago I read Neil Postman and if you are interested in culture and technology then Technopoly is a pretty good book to read.

Every AI service has an API so it would be easy to write a driver for a headless comment bot that checks comments with AI and then replies or updates a comment based on the API results. I think bots are against the rules on HN but the imple

The simplest examples are social media algorithms. The content shown to users is vetted and approved by the ML models to optimize engagement and advertising revenue.

Most digital content converges onto optimized spam because that's what grabs the most attention on any given platform. Spam is basically an algorithmic exploit which is the main reason for why delegating decisions about what should be

I'll probably write something more elaborate at some point but in the mean time I recommend Melanie Mitchell's book on AI as a good reference for counter-arguments and answers to several of the posted questions. For learning more

Sam Altman is on the record about his belief that OpenAI is going to create a general intelligence system that can solve any well-posed challenge. That belief is based on the current success of LLMs as syntax co-pilots. So if you can formal

Follow up to this is that I will probably write something about the general confusion around algorithms (special mathematical structures) and how these terms are used to make nonsensical arguments about intelligence, consciousness, and free

I remember when Facebook was restricted to folks with college domain emails. I used it for a year and decided I wasn't interested in algorithmic online stalking of people I barely knew and cared about. I'm still surprised social m

I recommend you look into it at your local library. You'll probably need to ask the librarian about archived city plans. The place I live had train tracks running through the middle of the city and now that area is a paved bike path wi

Most cities are built on top of the ruins of old cities. Or nature eventually reclaims the territory, e.g. Chernobyl. I think the software crisis is a non-issue. The stack works well enough for most people and most software consumers don&#x

You can't eat money, it doesn't grow on trees. Well, I guess you can eat it but it has no nutritional value.

Indeed.

Did you know that money is entirely a social construction?

That would mean that free will is reducible to a mathematical structure and if that's the case then an existence proof of such a structure would be very useful for the development of artificial general intelligence. If that's not

I didn't see anything in the core APIs about cryptography so any application that requires encrypted communication will have to bring their own cryptographic primitives.
