This is not the gotcha people think it is. Bible thumpers only pay attention to a few sections of the new testament anyways.

You’re right that they consume porn, but plenty of them still want to ban it, and not just because of LGBTQ. It’s all about moralistic virtue signaling by immoral people.

“Buying the startup” just means handing over megabucks to do-nothing investors. If Google isn’t buying any product or technology, why should investors get a talent fee?

My only problem is when people say everything about LLMs is wishful thinking.

by khazhoux 1y ago
You had a fine criticism in the article: that people's claims of success or failure should be accompanied by contextual information, to prevent bad extrapolations. But then you title it "Everything around LLMs is still magical an

Yeah, I read your article. It's the latest in the stream of "everyone is full of crap" about LLMs. You say you've used it to build multiple projects, but then title it "everything is wishful thinking". That m

I'm honestly started to get pissed seeing these articles on HN every day. Aren't we technologists? I see these articles and it's just people who can't accept the future, or feel threatened by it, or are pissed they are

Yet another article trying to take away from the impact of LLMs. This one is more subtle than most, but still the message is "this problem that was solved, was never actually the problem." Except... writing code is often a bottl

> What surprised me is how little popular resistance he has gotten and with which ease the US population gave away its rights. There should be no surprise at what has happened, since this is what the US voted for.

Where do you see in the parent comment that they've "only just become aware of" this issue?

I still remember listening on headphones to the recording of our jazz ensemble in high school, when they got a DAT system. It was a "holy shit" moment and I always wonder (>30 years later) if it would still be a holy shit m

Demis reports to Sundar. All of Demis's decisions would have been vetted by and either approved, rejected, or refined by Sundar. There's no way to actually distinguish how much of the value was from whom, unless you have inside

I don't follow your logic. You're saying that there exists some country capable of a nuclear weapons program (an exceedingly difficult thing), that for some reason has not actually built one, and now that they see Iran pummeled

That ship sailed decades ago, my friend.

We were already at a declared war at that time.

Why do you see it as bloodlust though? If ( if ) this destroyed a nuclear weapons program, that is good for the world. No one can predict the downstream consequences of today, but I fail to see an argument for why the world benefits from an

I would love a link to anything that could convince me the Rationalist community isn't just a bunch of hoo-haw. I read the first third of HPMOR. I stopped because I found the writing poor, but more importantly, it didn't "op

But you didn't become worse at navigation. Sounds like you trusted a tool, and it failed you.

WTF, it's not insulting at all. Ben is a master writer of story-driven songs, with a very wide range and top-notch musicianship. There is definitely a similarity. Perhaps you're not familiar with his full catalog?
