There is correlation and there is causation, and just because some feature is only correlating (but not causing) the problem, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to it. They’re red (or purple?) flags.

I still hope there is a future where the slop becomes so blatant that the majority (or at least a good portion) of the users lose interest, or something like that. The world is harder to predict than our brain wants us to think (at least I

The judge is right, but unfortunately there is no easy way to handle it. Right now, effectively, what he did was give JAKELAW the free advertisement that he wanted to get when he submitted the document in the first place. Hell even I have m

His business is called “Dragon Lawyers”, his phone number is JAKELAW, his main reason for using is because “people like dragons” and his firm’s goal is to “integrate AI to lower the cost of legal services”. I’m pretty sure this is not the g

I love the fact that you use its own description to explain what it is, as if it was the expert on itself. I personally cannot see how its own output can be seen as accurate at this level of meta-discussion.

So, real story, I work in a university in Europe, and we’ve been told by the immigration explicitly that we need to increase at least 50% of rejections to applications from Pakistani students. Apparently they come with a student Visa to tak

Honest question, does it have to be done this way? Or could they wait maybe 2 extra hours until the child was safe? It seems to me that they are cowards who prey on those weaker than them and are too afraid to face those of their “own size”

What promise was that, exactly? Do you have a quote? If not, and you mean “promise by inaction”, then could we say then that Trump made a promise to racists, neo-nazis, crypto criminals, the Russian government, etc?

That’s because, for a while, the USA has been seen as the main exponent (although obviously not the only one) of western ideals such as freedom, democracy, human rights, etc. So yeah it’s logical that people would expect that the “leader of

Every individual involved in this is doing it because there is something to be gained. The system is basically saying “the more you deport, the more numbers you generate, the more funding you get and the less I will check what you do with i

So basically you came to the same conclusion as everyone else who is against this (and who I assume you would consider to be your political opponents): that even though it sounds good and reasonable on paper (as a populist concept), in prac

Although the whole idea of “figuring out the solution by explaining the problem” is absolutely real, I find that the problem for me with this is that the duck is (and always will be) an obvious stand in for something else; a gimmick of sort

I’m sorry but I have no idea what you mean and what you write…!

The first thing I want AGI to do is to be able to tell me when it doesn’t know something, or when it’s not certain, so at least give me a heads up to set expectations correctly. I ran my own personal “benchmark” on Gemini 2.5 and it failed

Interesting! I also make extensive notes of mathematical and computational concepts (and “buzzwords”) with a “no bullshit” title, and it works great. It’s great for quick refreshers once in a while.

I won’t pretend to know the technical details (as the other replies do) but I want to make a point for the “pedagogical” effect here, which I agree with the author. The way I interpret the article, it’s not supposed to be a deep, theoretica

There was no insult. The point is very clear if you are not trying to intentionally make him look bad. He said that Vance would never send his kids to a hospital in Hungary; he never said hospitals in Hungary are bad, or that Hungarians are

A government is not a person who “feels” anything. Anyone who is in the USA for work/study has agreed to a contract, and there is nothing in that contract that requires intelectual subservience. If the USA government finds that the per

Are “freedom of speech” and “due process” not American fundamental values? It seems to me that the people hostile to fundamental values are the masked ICE officers kidnapping random, harmless people from the street and moving them to a diff

In that specific quote he’s talking about Ivy League universities, not Wesleyan, but the quote would be too long. I thought it was clear, sorry for the misunderstanding. Regardless, I absolutely agree with you, except for one thing: I would

The Fountainhead is a great book, one of my favorites. Atlas Shrugged is also a very good book in a slightly different way (but it overstays its welcome). I love Ayn Rand as a writer, she was bold, energetic, smart. She could weave a fictio

Some personal highlights: "They’re excellent schools, and they have excellent scientists, and if one of Vice-President Vance’s kids is sick, he’s going to want the doctor to have gone to one of these schools; he’s not going to want the

Surely one can find ways to fight the irrational, inconsequential leftists (which there are many) without bullying institutions by cutting their funding, or kidnapping people in broad daylight in the street? Civilized western countries do i

Yes, I do, you got me wrong, I actually meant it. It’s a beautiful man-made illustration! Thank you for pointing me to the artist.

by low_tech_love 2y ago
The pull is too strong, especially when you factor in the fact that (a) the competition is doing it and (b) the recipients of such outcomes (reports, etc) are not strict enough to care whether AI was used or not. In this situation, no matte

I wonder if there is any point where this just doesn’t pay anymore? Like, ads can’t be an infinite source of money right? I have no idea of the economy behind ads but could it be that these people could somehow be convinced that ads are a w
