Do you have a definition of "smart" such that there is something an AI could do to prove itself intelligent? Or are you just defining "fast" as something only horses can do, and considering that a useful insight about ca

In terms of startups, predicting tech, and all the things Hacker News is about, it mostly matters what the clever hacker can do, not whether the tool is ready for the mainstream. If a clever hacker can get 10x results with an LLM, they&#x27

Weird that you don't mind misrepresenting that intention of mine. Or are you under the impression that you have a telepathic insight into the minds of others?

Are you familiar with "Weird Al Yankovic"?

It is kinda weird, because LLMs lean Left, but the Left also seems to be shaping up as the anti-LLM party. I certainly get how it happened, but it's still a bit weird

I didn't even notice the faint grey lines! Wow.

Presumably some experts are also optimistic about positive benefits, so we already have bias from only focusing on the negative. And, in fact, this is true of every single political question you can ask: the 10th dentist is concerned about

I was so surprised this wasn't that game! And then the top comment saying "I also built one" also wasn't Gambonanza! There are so many of these, wow - and nicely distinct from each other, too

Well, uh, the BigCorps already went to court and paid that cost and aren't doing it anymore? Whereas you and I are apparently still pirating MP3s and probably haven't ever been to court?

If that's the extent of the jailbreak, then the government should have banned every existing LLM - their story only makes sense if there's some Fable-specific capability that got unlocked.

I mean, there's an obvious difference between "distributing copies" (which is what the law was designed to prevent) and "training an LLM". We already managed "banning LLM output that contains copyrighted text&q

Wait, really? So why doesn't someone just reverse-engineer Coca-Cola like that? My understanding was that a "clean room" implementation is fine, but not reverse-engineering. If you can just copy everything on the market, why

"Copyright violation of a published work" and "stealing private trade secrets" are in fact very different crimes. Humans have spent millenia harvesting and distilling each other's IP - "the shoulder of giants&q

Gotta start somewhere, right? And then, if things go to court, those audit records can also be used so the judicial department can police them. Forcing people to leave a paper trail has a lot of uses

How impossible are we talking? I tend to be a fairly defensive programmer - maybe nothing currently sends this function a negative value, but how hard is it for a future code change to alter that assumption? I always figured a clear error w

I was really surprised by this part! I've run into the issue a lot; I know it happens. I handled it manually for a while by just having a fresh instance inspect the code - "review this for DRY violations" and "how would

You could easily just do both - peer review gives you immediate access, then a supervisor audits it on a slightly slower time scale. Make anyone who signed off on access an accomplice to the crime so that peers and supervisors have an incen

I am jokingly agreeing with you: Bill Gates famously claimed 640 kilobytes of RAM was sufficient for everyone, which felt like a funny parallel to people telling you "open source models are sufficient for everyone" There's ob
