I think you're missing the point. He's pointing out what the atmosphere was/is around LLMs in these discussions, and how that impacts stories like with Lemoine. I mean, you're right that he's silly and Google didn&#

A while back I wanted to learn more about how direct threaded Forth implementations work. Just explanations, not code. I went back and forth with Claude for a while, and I noticed that its ability to give me a coherent explanation was terri

You're right of course, but nobody ever gave me a free VR headset or a few thousand dollars of Monero. OpenAI and Google will both give you, for free, access to an LLM whenever you want. I can do a Google search and help with LLM adopt

I'm curious, can you really not detect any qualitative difference between what is commonly understood to be "personality" in a human, and the "personality" of something without.. personhood? Don't you feel that

Theoretically, it's probably better to get information about Laravel from their respective website. I would expect as this is a framework made for Laravel users, you're not really in their target audience anyway. It would be helpf

Pointing out that the statement is false in the most uninteresting literal sense is just odd. Sure, you can be sued for that in the same sense that you can be sued for eating a croissant. Glad we got to the bottom of that.

I don't really get why people point this out. Yes, you can be sued for anything. But what are you actually suggesting? That you do nothing, ever, because you could be sued for anything? Or are we just doing the same old nitpick?

One prescient comment was made by Eric Yuan (Zoom CEO), who made the claim that the reliability and general efficacy issues from AI products would be solved "down the stack", and I think this is more or less the attitude right now

I don't expect any code to be right the first time. I would imagine if it's intelligent enough to ask the right questions, research, and write an implementation, it's intelligent enough to do some debugging.

I don't have anything unique to say, but I love when this project comes up on HN. The project exemplifies what a patient and loving hand can do.

Sure, but I don't think that the code being produced in the US is "small code shops" producing artisanal code. It's not about whether code is produced in other places, it's if it's produced at a high scale loca

I used to read a lot of LessWrong. These days I would recommend people to avoid it. The content is thought-provoking, written by well-meaning intelligent people. On the other hand, it's like watching people nervously count their finger

The figure also shows that the non LLM algorithm from 2012 was as capable or more capable than a human: was it as intelligent as a well educated human? If not, why is the study sufficient evidence for the LLM, but not sufficient evidence fo

The paper you linked claims on page 10 that machines have been performing comparably on the task since 2012, so I'm not sure exactly what the paper is supposed to show in this context. Am I to conclude that we've had a comparably

I'm curious about that. Those models are definitely more knowledgeable than a well educated human, but so is Google search, and has been for a long time. But are they as intelligent as a well educated human? I feel like there's a

Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but "Anthropic CEO says that the work going on in Anthropic is super good and will produce fantastic results in 2 or 3 years" it not necessarily telling of anything.

I don't really understand what you're implying here. It doesn't need to be perfect, it only needs to be as good as we are. I mean, you don't write perfect code. You don't perfectly infer requirements either. It take

I don't think that's true, you'll get the same sentiment ("Sonnet 3.5 is much better than GPT4/GPT4o [for coding]") pretty uniformly across Reddit/HN/Lobsters. I would strongly agree with it in my own

The framing here is pretty ridiculous. Israel definitely punches back much harder than Hamas, but comparing October 7th to a punch and Israel's response to running over babies with a bulldozer is absurd. Hamas blatantly escalated the c

It's definitely bad, although attributing the state of the job market to AI is a mistake. As a result of wider economic conditions, money is expensive and companies can't justify borrowing money to have massive headcount, driving
