It's definitely talking about that, but it's also talking about all of us: - fawning over how amazing these tools are - believing everything OpenAI and Anthropic say about how powerful and dangerous their product is - minimizing t

Neither do LLMs. Humans using them do. Similar to how cops solve crimes using psychics.

The LLM did not solve it. It's not intelligent. Humans did, using a statistics-based computational tool (the LLM). We don't even know all the details of how the tool was used, we haven't been allowed to use the exact tool

No web service is like that. They all offer recovery options. We aren't talking about Bitcoin here.

Fake websites pretending to be legitimate websites in order to steal your passwords was considered a HUGE problem. That's why TLS includes website certificates. The implementation is kind of a mess with commercial Certificate Authori

Physical keys can easily be copied, and physical locks can easily be picked. That might be fine for your house or storage unit, but for your bank account or your car (newer cars no longer have simple physical keys/locks), we've m

Unfortunate title when this is actually a better explanation of what OpenAI actually did and did not with Navier-Stokes

Not the same thing. The kindle ebook you "purchased" could have different text each time you open it up. A movie you stream could be different every time.

No need to decrypt https, the other end of your connection does that and hands the info over to governments

So? The vast majority are not CDL or rideshare drivers.

I don't know, people. We still really don't know how OpenAI or others are producing these results. It's all very hand wavy and trust-me-bro. How much money/time/compute have they really thrown at these problems?

Bread ties are good too. Sometimes they're too short, but you can twist a few together

Waymo (and rideshare) replace regular human drivers. No need to compare only against rideshare drivers.

by krupan 29d ago
Um, in those two examples where it was ridiculously not waymo's fault it was still absolutely the fault of a human driver. I'm struggling to imagine a significant amount of cases where it's ridiculously not the fault of any

What does "with no substantive human input" mean? All of the training data is human input, isn't it?

I feel like we're really getting off into the weeds here. I think the original question was, could they have achieved their monopoly without government help? I still think no. Their product, software, is given more protection than o

You put forth Microsoft as a monopoly, not necessarily a bad business.

So maybe it's more like poker than a slot machine? Still intermittent rewards with a lot of random chance. The nuance of the analogy isn't that important to the general idea

All people at least some times, absolutely yes. Isn't it awesome we built machine that does the exact same thing, but even faster and more often? /s

How is putting personal liberty above all else a love of corporations? If a corporation is furthering personal liberty then sure, I'll love them. If they aren't then I won't give them my time/money/attention. Why

How hard would it be for you to look up whether Apple does any government lobbying, or if there are any laws, regulations, or tax codes that (whether intentionally or not) give Apple an advantage over a start up that wants to compete with t

Libertarianism is far more than just an economic system and it's too bad it went down that narrow piece of it. I don't understand your reference about coercing Ceasar but a major tenent of Libertarianism is not coercering anyone t

Hey, I was working hard to not make it a monopoly! Lol! All those different local police forces and each level of the hierarchy are different corporations. But seriously, if we could achieve a peaceful society without giving anyone permiss

You one line lot shots aren't doing anything useful here. Maybe sit the rest of this out

No libertarian is saying "corporations good!" Oh my gosh, the misunderstanding is huge. Go do some actual research about an idea before blindly arguing against it. Libertarianism is all about individuals and personal property

Aha! Neat trick to defeat hacker news's attempt to keep us from having long unproductive conversations. Let's keep it going. Does it matter if the government purposely ordained the monopoly or stupidly made it possible by extend
