The nature of effective manipulation sort of precludes the ability to get good stats.

I work somewhere that tries to do such detection (for fraud prevention) and it sort of feels impossible to me in the medium term. AI slop qualities are fleeting - I’ve seen Reddit AI posts that have misspelled words, no dashes, stilted sayi

There’s still a limit on how far one can drive in a day, no matter the road.

When you're Meta, "generally" might not be good enough. There are just too many bizarre limitations to this, like image buttons, or interactivity attached to random elements (making a div a link, etc)

Knowing how to make an accessible website is so rare that companies pay me money to do it for them. I wish it was good enough for people, much less companies, to rely on.

It can be both. I worked for a brand that wanted to have a sale just on their own, new site to be able to drive visits, but Amazon's "most favored nation" policies would have caused a backlash.

If you've ever seen those "Click To Reveal Price" or "Price Only Revealed At Checkout" products online, this here is one reason why. They help businesses keep discounted prices hidden from Amazon's crawlers.

Here in dense NYC, most apartments I've lived in have but a single ISP available. It's common to hunt for apartments by searching the address on service maps. I'm pretty sure one landlord was cut in by his ISP, as he skipped

Our ISPs conspire to avoid competition (AKA "overbuilding") and so stuff like this just festers. It's truly a shame.

Wow, it's got some issues on Chrome (dropped frames on scroll) but Safari is another level. Selecting text takes time. Looking at Activity Monitor, I see "Safari Graphics and Media" using 200% of my CPU even at rest. A quick

Preemptive meaning they hadn't yet been convicted. Nixon was pardoned by Ford in this manner (for "all offenses against the United States" between Jan. 20, 1969—Aug. 9, 1974). Carter preemptively mass-pardoned draft dodgers,

Yeah, the raw JSON (in my case) is the result of a failed tool call, it was trying to generate an image. With thinking models, you can observe the degeneration of its understanding of image tool calls over the lifetime of a chat. It eventua

Given that that page describes quotes as "working," I'm not so sure how much effort was put into its testing.

by lelandfe 6mo ago
Yes, and with very long chats, you'll see it even forget how to do things like make tool calls - or even respond at all! I've had ChatGPT reply with raw JSON, regurgitate an earlier prompt, reply with a single newline, regurgita

In chats that run long enough on ChatGPT, you'll see it begin to confuse prompts and responses, and eventually even confuse both for its system prompt . I suspect this sort of problem exists widely in AI.

I fully expect it to get retired in the wake of the forthcoming de-anonymization of the web. But I’m frankly shocked they haven’t already given how aggressively bad the “new” one has become.

You get a couple requests in at a smarter model and then it prompts you to sign up, and from there uses an extremely dumb model.

There are some really fast tools out there for compiling FE these days, and that's probably to what they refer. Testing is still a slog.
