Guardrails for anything versatile might be trivial on consideration. As a kid I read some Asimov books where he laid out the "3 laws of robotics", first law being a robot must not harm a human. And in the same story a character ga

Same thing at my co! The kicker is that our team is down two people with the expectation of increased productivity because of AI. But no filling in those spots, because only offshore, and offshore can't even join our team because of co

Sycophancy makes sense as a cultural disconnect, western or americam culture tends to expect superiors to be treated as verbal equals while most other cultures layer obsequience from subordinates to superiors. Thanks for the thought.

Actually on further consideration, this darkly hilarious, it's doing to knowledge work what's already been done to manufacturing.

At the fortune 500 I work at there's no sweeping layoffs that I've seen. There is a big emphasis on AI, but more relevant to the concerns, there are scoped hiring freezes for US workers, new offshore hires are greenlit though. And

This was an interesting short post, but was disappointed by the lack of links to the sources.

Good explainer vid: https://youtu.be/CIEQPwf9MHY tldr: one town in the US did it and it became an economic miracle, big telcos noticed and have set up lobbying and advertising infra to ensure it never happens.

Not just social media, at work you're lucky if anyone reads the docs, and blessed if you find someone writing docs. To say nothing about how the substitute for those is looping zoom meetings.

Agreed, this would make for a great standard in mortality metrics.

I usually ask these models to tell me a short story, and most times the prose is stiff and the story reads like a mass market straight to KDP kids book. But wow, first shot generated something, light, mildly funny, and chill. Quite a surpri

They used to, iirc that's how they sourced the titanium used in the b2 bombers, which was mined in the ussr.

Seems like a balanced approach, people can watch videos with adblockers but it won't count towards youtube's public facing metrics.

There was that study by anthropic that showed that an LM fine-tuned on insecure code with no additional separate prompting or fine-tuning would be more willing to act unethically. So maybe this is the equivalent in that the corpus of traini

Yeah I was really disappointed they released their llm service before making an official proton drive linux client.

That's a great point. I guess at this point it'd be ideal for them to treat this an incident and do a proper postmortem with timelines and decision calculus.

Indeed they are: https://github.com/ProtonMail If you, or someone else, like please audit the repos. Could be cool to see trusted forks of some of the clients.

by j-bos 1y ago
Trusting them is almost guaranteed, but it doesn't have to be, sort of. The clients are opensource so you literally clone, audit, and run the clients locally. Full disclosure, I use Proton and overall trust them so unless I see strong

This seems like reasobable mechanism, also matches what I saw of older generations developing parasocial relationships with soap operas, often started after being bedridden for some weeks.
