I searched for original OpenAI mission statement. This hackernews comment came up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34367824#34370925 > OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to

over the long term, this is solved with a wealth tax, but undoing what rich ppl have done to society (i.e. making lots of poor people) will unfortunately take many, many years; so many years that it will never actually happen

That was my point. The Waymo should have been going much slower than 15 around the double-parked car. Potential speeding makes it worse. The fact that it’s hard to turn this into a formula is exactly why robot drivers are bad.

So the waymo was speeding! All the dumbasses on here defending waymo when it was going 17 > 15. Oh also, that video says "kid ran out from a double parked suv". Can you imagine being dumb enough to drive over the speed limit

So many tech lovers defending waymo. If you drive a car, you have a responsibility to do it safely. The fact that I am usually better than the bottom 50% of drivers, or that I am better than a drunk driver does not mean that when I hit some

I slow down considerably near parked cars. And I try to slow down much earlier approaching intersections where there are parked cars blocking my view of cross walk entries. I need to be able to come to full stop earlier than intersection if

Look at a 777-300 on [United]( https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/company/aircraft/boeing-777... ) - 60/290 biz/econ (~20%), but the biz seats take up probably 40% of the plane. Estimate 4k fo

I am 70% sure this is partially ai generated. It is furthermore hard to believe that the engineers are working for the users, given that google’s primary activities today are broad enshittification of their products. Because of these two th

What about using the Gmail API and listening for recent changes? I suppose it wouldn't be in a mailbox format that could be easily exported to another provider, though?

I think this argument would justify slavery: no one (white people) has decided that holding others as slaves is bad, therefore I can hold slaves. But let me entertain it for a moment: prior to knowing, e.g., that plastics or CO2 are bad for

Seriously, why can't we just have a law that makes entirely illegal the retention of any personally identifiable information in any way that is legible to the retainer. You can store my data for me, but only encrypted, and it can be de

If morality never factors into your own decisions, you don't get to be upset when it doesn't factor into other peoples'. In other words, society just sucks when everyone thinks this way, even if it true that resolving it is h

TLDR: AI company uses AI to write blog post about abusive AI chrome extension (Yes it really is AI-written / AI-assisted. If your AI detectors don’t go off when you read it you need to be retrained.)

by jsrozner 10mo ago
Yes, it is, 100%. One does not even need an AI detector; it's obvious from the first sentence: "brought a lot of context, more scars, and more pattern recognition." "Like a lineman sees a frayed cable." Lol. This is

The article is cool; there's no doubt. But it could have been written without AI, and it would be better to write the article in human voice than to proliferate AI slop. Is it really so horrible to take the time to write things ourselv

Folks should be disclosing when they're using AI to write articles. AI style is garbage. It not only pollutes the internet but will steadily infect the writing style of others.

There is a lot of dislike for AI detection in these comments. Pangram labs (PL) claims very low false positive rates. Here's their own blog post on the research: https://www.pangram.com/blog/pangram-predicts-21-of-

Perhaps it’s that a global solution in the language of set theory was hard to find, but distributed systems — which need to provide guarantees only from local node behavior, without access to global — offered an alternate perspective. They

Is this also partially AI generated? What's with the repeated short phrases? Is this just everyone's style now?

Pretty sure this article is at least partially AI-written. Interesting content. Annoying style.

I had a convo with a senior CS prof at Stanford two years ago. He was excited about LLM use in paper writing to, e.g., "lower barriers" to idk, "historically marginalized groups" and to "help non-native English spea

Perhaps what is meant is "blame the development of LLMs." We don't "blame guns" for shootings, but certainly with reduced access to guns, shootings would be fewer.
