That's what they did to upload a repo, the question is why they would upload the user's entire repo in the first place. The idea itself is egregious, and the implementation was horrifying on top of that.

This is in headlines, dude. This smear attempt is intellectually dishonest and eyeroll inducing.

Wasn't thinking of H100s either. I spoke of infrastructure support, and I was being literal. A herd of GB200s needs a building built to stringent specifications to house them.

They're not filling datacenters with 3090s. With the amount of headache and the amount of infrastructure needed to support those beasts, do they even have a resale price at all? Or just scrap value?
125.
by jdiff 2mo ago
To some degree at least. This is a hulking monster of a codebase for what it does, it's definitely LLM-built and almost definitely requires an LLM to tackle at all.

No other model is so easy to generate such things. No model is so negligent in adding safeguards. I've seen it generate such things in response to a post that was clearly labeled as a 4th grader. The person you are talking to is respon

I see your hamfisted cropping of my quote to downplay xAI's actions, since you brought up intellectual honesty. Why do we have to quantity badness? The question you posed was what has xAI done to be perceived as untrustworthy? Stop try

by jdiff 2mo ago
In no way are you being intellectually honest if you think that hamfisted system prompt push to prod manipulation was an attempt to squash bias. And again, whataboutism doesn't make xAI better because others are doing bad, too. You ask
129.
by jdiff 2mo ago
Starkly different. One was a well meaning attempt to squash model bias gone wrong, the other is a deliberately inserted bias. Even ignoring all that, whataboutism is not persuasive.

It's not ad hominem. The head is a strongly polarizing individual. People working for him must either be gravely apathetic or at least of a similar polarity.

That's cool. Others are not like you and may have use/need of things that you have no use/need for is what I'm trying to communicate here.

I've used it before to access my tailnet machines through a browser on a machine I can't download software on.

Won't you suffer from muscle atrophy in a such a low-G environment?

Not sure that last one rings true. There are entire languages with no allowed unused variables (some without prepending a _ to the names) that people love to develop with. In the industry, how often is it that a tool/language is picked

I don't see any hate in these references. Perhaps just truths you don't want to hear. I've seen your name pop up multiple times in past conversations about V in response to anything less than positive. What's your involv

Vlang is a ridiculous project that was entirely driven by hype that should have been easy for all to see straight through. It is ridiculous that it got $800/month with nothing to show for it. I haven't seen any hate spread for i

Yes, the lack of whelm in all cases is what makes it impressive that it worked at all in this case.

They likely had the qualifier, as does GP, that it was the last country "in the Americas."

Why would they be trained to read a research experiment that fundamentally goes against the way they perceive? They can't train on this technique, they can only postprocess it into a form they can perceive.

I explicitly prompt my small local models to channel that kind of energy. It's one of few ways to get them to just spit it out without yapping on about temperature- and humidity-appropriate activities when I just asked if it'll ra

Even in real pregnancies, it's estimated that as many as three quarters of all fertilized eggs fail to implant in the uterus. If one was of the opinion that life begins at conception, one should certainly be aware of that silent holoca

No, I'm satisfied with my own experience. If you would like to see data, take action towards those ends.

Oh I certainly believe them. And on some level I admire the dogfooding. It just seems awful foolish of them.

The minimal human supervision for prompts seems like a pretty silly take. LLMs are still pretty bad at creating good prompts for LLMs. Give it a benchmark and some feedback and it can brute force it, but far less effectively. And I thought

Honesty has become a big tell, especially if its brutal. I'm not sure if it's getting worse or if I'm becoming more sensitive, but if I'm being brutally honest I can barely stand using LLMs anymore with their tone and th

The obnoxious cliche is mine, although I wouldn't call it "regular speech" since I tacked on that dense blob of LLMisms intentionally.

But in that case you have nobody but yourself to blame, and you can stabilize things yourself at any time by refraining from making any changes. You won't be surprised by a provider. Honestly? That's not just valuable—it's es

An n-deep chain of monitors doesn't really have any defense that an (n-1)-deep chain of monitors has. None of them have the capacity to separate data and instructions. All you're doing is (in some ways) giving the model more rolls

by jdiff 3mo ago
I imagine the challenge comes from recognizing that your model is trying to call a tool before it actually has and only constraining output then. Running a separate pass for an optionally-empty list of tools afterwards may work, but maybe c
