Right - the quality of your locks matter a lot less if your average 5-year-old tee-baller can through brick through the wind and climb in. One always needs to consider their threat model when considering what security to invest in getting.

It is a focus, data, and benchmarking problem. If someone comes up with good benchmarks, which means having a good dataset, and gets some publicility around, they can attract the frontier labs attention to focus training and optimization ef

That is the technicality here. Bullshit is getting spewed, but in most cases, direct falsehoods aren't gett reported. If you quote someone saying something untrue, the paper didn't present a falsehood, same with bias, omission, em

There difference isn't renting or selling a hammer. The difference is providing a hammer (rent/sell) VS providing a handyman that will use the hammer. In the first case the manufacturer is only liable for defects, for normal use o

by jacobr1 1y ago
Well, that depends on what we are selling. Are you selling the service, black-box, to accomplish the outcome? Or are you selling a tool. If you sell a hammer you aren't liable as the manufacturer if the purchaser murders someone with i

The availability angle changes things quite a bit. Having a single source of truth online sheet is much different than a file that is passed around.

I think this is part of the reason why I've had a bit more success with AI Coding than some of my colleagues. My pre-llm workflow was to rapidly build a crappy version of something so that I could better understand it, then rework it (

Why would someone buy services from a prison vs an established company. Presumably the quality would be worse and there is a potential risk to reputation. The answer would be because the prison is substantially cheaper due to not needing to

by jacobr1 1y ago
The prison could, for grift reasons. They can undercut competition because their costs are lower. If a union, or even a market-rate shop needs to pay, say, $20-hour for labor, and the prison can pay $1-hour (or day) they can charge much les

There seems to be a presumption that private prisons are widespread. And while not rare, they are only 8% of prisons. There is widespread use of profit-seeking vendors like food suppliers or phone companies though. I only bring this up beca
