Yes a bit like modern car companies do by pushing out whatever untested experimental feature they have and let the customers figure them out (or die).

No, he’s blaming the car manufacturer for turning him (and all of us) into their free crash dummies.

Say what you will about this piece, I didn’t detect any AI in it and for that I thank Charli. I’ve been desperately for any original thoughts whatever that come out of a human being’s brain and in that sense it was an interesting read. Howe

I also think she missed the point there. Normal people bust their asses on a daily basis to do a good job at whatever it is they do, with more often than not, under rewarding compensation and a lot of problems to overcome. I think it is nor

Slightly off-topic: I have an honest question for all of you out there who love Advent of Code, please don't take this the wrong way, it is a real curiosity: what is it for you that makes the AoC challenge so special when compared with

The worst part of this is how it has this kind of buzzfeed-like style of semi-tongue-in-cheek-but-still-politically-correct aesthetics. Is this what regression to the mean is in the future of AI writing? Are we doomed to read buzzfeed every

Amazing images, shitty lazy meaningless AI text.

Try to get your LLM of choice to find its way out of a labyrinth that you describe in text form. It's absolutely awful even with the simplest mazes. I'm not sure the problem here is memory, though? I think it has to do with spatia

Nice, they used an obscure reference to explain another obscure reference, requiring two nested levels of explanation.

You’re not wrong, but I was addressing a specific point the author made in a specific sentence. The idea that people will get some sort of universal salary and be left alone to just do some woodworking in their backyard (in a non-profitable

It doesn’t as long as we keep each other at check. I do believe it’s natural for humans to take advantage of opportunities that arise in your environment; if a human being sees that they can do better, at the expense of others, then it seem

I don’t agree this is pessimism, actually I live a pretty content and optimistic life. However my comfort and optimism comes from being skeptical in a healthy way and knowing that human beings look out for themselves and that I need to look

“I have hopes for a utopian future where AI does everything better than humans, which allows us to spend our time poorly doing the things we are most excited about.” This thought is quite common and widespread, I’ve heard it multiple times,

Every reporting is always based on the reporter, so you’re never going to escape the need to just make your own conclusions and decide for yourself whether you think that the piece makes sense or not. There is no conspiracy against rational

The view from the inside, written by a person who is waist deep into the movement, is the only fair look into the phenomenon?

The thing with identifying yourself with an “ism” (e.g. rationalism, feminism, socialism) is that, even though you might not want that, you’re inherently positioning yourself in a reductionist and inaccurate corner of the world. Or in other

Why experimenting at all? Just ask Claude what will happen and it’ll write a nice report.

“We could easily be made increasingly dependent on machines for speaking and for thinking…” One thing that bothers me about the ubiquitous encroachment of LLMs into most areas of human writing is that it helps us write faster, but does no

You might be half joking, but your hypothesis is interesting to show how many different reasons can exist for the same phenomenon. Lots of people here talking about lead, for whatever reason, but also decriminalisation of drugs, abortion, e

I live in Sweden (as an expat), and I often struggle to explain to outsiders why I think it’s one of the least interesting places I’ve ever been to. There is something missing that I can’t usually grasp with words. This article has made it

A fundamental problem that we’re still far away from solving is not necessarily that LLMs/LRMs cannot reason the same way that we do (which I guess should be clear by now); but that they might not have to. They generate slop so fast th

I don’t interview but I assess students regularly, and my main approach right now is to make it very clear to them that overly generic and superficial statements, like those made by LLMs, will get their grade down. If they want to pass they

I love the fact that they seem to be asking it to do simple things because ”AI can do the simple boring things for us so we can focus on the important problems” and then it floods them with so many meaningless mumbo jumbo that they could ha

So when does the investigation on the accuracy of instruments that measure the roundness of the Earth begins? I think it’s about time we revisit the heliocentric hoax.
