I don't know why you wouldn't think they could do this already. Without the system prompt these models can be used to do all sorts of terrible things. That's precisely why they need to be strictly regulated by international t

People's workday has been transformed by it. But I fail to see actual transformation beyond "more crap, faster." AI hasn't done anything we couldn't already do. It's just doing it faster and with more mistakes

I love AI because it has quickly revealed to the general public how all these tech geniuses are really just rich morons. It's very much like the Naked Emperor. Sycophantic AI has convinced them their naked inner thoughts are profound a

My point is that you get used to it. I don't like if aesthetically, but I like that it has an aesthetic at all. I have coworkers who overuse phrases, oftentimes incorrectly. It doesn't annoy me because I'm familiar with their

I don't really care if it says load-bearing or belt and suspenders so long as it's using them correctly, which it mostly does. I don't know how programmers, who are so used to staring at the same handful of keywords every day

I was involved in both sides of this battle over ten years ago. Things haven't changed all that much. It's important to note that neither side has moral legitimacy. Not everyone who carries a rifle is a enemy. Not everyone wearing

It can only deal in tokens, so you're essentially right that it creates a textual description before describing it back to you. This process is obviously incredibly lossy and details are easily missed

I'll see your "government wants biometric surveillance" conspiracy theory and raise you a "pedofiles want to keep kids on social media" theory.

I agree. Very little in here specifically applies to fintech except the ledgering and rounding parts, which are pretty light. I would prefer to read a defense of something more radical like "database per account." Something that
