I wonder if it is more of a fixation problem. In that by asking it not to do something you increase the likelihood of it doing that thing because the words for the thing are there. Sort of like how sometimes drivers fixate on a thing they

Evidence or not, this is probably the most satisfying explanation I've heard for this behaviour. My own suspicion is that LLMs are not becoming more general-purpose over time, as these companies had hoped, and ongoing development in th

AI needs typing? Why? That seems counterintuitive to me. I agree on ORMs, but that would apply with or without AI for me personally. ORMs and ActiveRecord are an obvious and well documented anti-pattern at this point in time.

I think it is fair to argue that prompts are not a safety layer at all and can't be relied upon for much. "Make no mistakes"

I wonder if some of this explains why people have been finding with Opus 5 that running it with lower settings than "High" is producing better or at least just as good results. > Not so fast. A 2025 paper(opens a new tab) from

This comment is so brutally ironic. Wow.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

This is the critical problem with all of this. Daylight savings time changes, can't be globally banned fast enough really.

They are mostly "faster" than the majority of humans. They are rarely better than experienced and talented humans at the majority of tasks they are able to do. They are better on both scales on a small thin slice of work tasks.

I dunno I was listening to someone explain this on a podcast and to put up something on the scale of a typical land based data center would make it, by orders of magnitude, the largest spaced based object ever made and most of the size woul

I have the same car and want to do this, but not for the reasons the author noted but because the GPS unit in the car is broken when paired with Carplay and has the wrong compass heading causing navigation to be completely useless. I have r

Man I thought this was about the new Stargate show which they are filming in the UK. I was trying to square why OpenAI would be in charge of that.

It's open source software. If you discover the bug, have written a failing test that demonstrates it, and a proposed solution to it, then maybe you can be annoyed when the authors close it as wontfix. Otherwise OSS is pretty much as-is

I would expect that lighter motor components would potentially allow weight reduction in load bearing components. Not an advantage for SUV-type cars, but for light and ultralight vehicles it could add up to more weight saving and longer ran

Does NFT/blockchain actually have a cycle? I have not seen any real killer use cases. AI may be overhyped but the actual use cases and potential ones seem very clear.

I agree with this as well. I started my career at the height of ORMs. Most software developers were only learning the ORM APIs (which of course all differed significantly) and very few were learning SQL outside of the bare basics. ORMs, lik

Realistically most people became aware of the internet in the late 90s. Its impact was significantly realized not much more than a decade later.

So not PowerBI then. Or really any BI tool. My favourite example of not "fast" right now is any kind of Salesforce report. Not only are they slow but you can't make any changes to the criteria more often than once a minute. M

Seems a bit early to use that analogy though. Early iPhones upgrades generally had significant improvements in almost all specs.

Much of the discussion of AI flirts with science fiction more than fact. Let's start with the fact that AGI is not a well defined or agreed upon term of reference.
