I don't want my LLM to be "more conversational". I'm not using it for a chat. Accuracy is the only thing that will set LLMs apart.

100%. Amazon hired 14,000 people, and now it's firing 14,000 people it no longer wants on its payroll. Plain and simple.

The bar for medical devices in most countries is _incredibly_ high, for good reason. ChatGPT wasn't developed with the idea of being a therapist in mind, it was a side-effect of the technology that was developed. Why is OpenAI getting

This is too creepy for my taste. The benefit of having an LLM be aware of my browsing history doesn't give me even close to enough extra value to allow it.

Yeah, because he's right, it is a free country. He shouldn't be arrested, or thrown in prison for it. But I'm also free to apply societal pressure to behave like a grown-up.

I agree and it bugs me too. Sometimes I just want to enjoy a thing with other people enjoying a thing without any expectation that it might end up as "content" to be monetized by the algorithm. I don't look forward to mass ad

I don't think I can state this hard enough, but there is no tech cool enough that would make me comfortable allowing meta to see through my eyes. Just never in a million years.

Adding natural gas to the definition of green energy is absolutely wild. How on earth did that pass?

Define "accomplishments". Based on Woz's message, I would say he's been the true achiever in the game of life. He found, what he genuinely believes, is happiness. Personally, I'd take that over being the creator of

No ifs, no buts. Stuff like this deserves ruinous fines for its executives. Cycle data in the hands of many country's authorities is outright dangerous. If you're storing healthcare data, it should require IN BIG RED LETTERS an ex

Good. Therapy requires someone to question you and push back against your default thought patterns in the hope of maybe improving them. "You're absolutely right!" in every response won't help that. I would argue that LLM

Fair point. Depressing, but it makes sense.

Agreed. I still think we're seeing layoffs due to _overhiring_ in 2020. AI makes a nice excuse when laying these people off because CEOs can say their huge investments in AI are starting to pay off because they don't need the huma

If this is not meant to be an echo chamber, why is "Bay" one of the default categories? Most people don't live in the SF Bay Area. Most people who don't, don't even know what "Bay" would mean. I only know

I appreciated this, just because my name is Max and any sort of validation from HN is hard to come by. Also, the image kinda looks like me. It's not me though. I don't think.

More remote-work rage bait. This allows folks who do not need actually contribute to a meeting to catch up on the content at a time that suits them later. Sounds like a very efficient use of time to me.

This is super cool, although perhaps the coolest thing is that this website is part of a WEBRING!

"Using AI chatbots actually reduces activity in the brain" I love the use of the word "actually" there, as if anybody were under the illusion that using LLMs makes individual humans smarter.

I can't see any way in which AI could ever solve this from a photo. A tablespoon of oil is 100 calories, but probably not visible in an image. Sugar in cooked meals is impossible to see. Is this aimed at a world where every food produc

Yeah, to me this is another arm of that old idea that every few years, someone in Silicon Valley reinvents the bus. Place-based community is key, and can't be fixed with an app, or a service. Not long-term anyway.

An embrace of mediocrity in one's work, specifically, though. In many countries, the UK for example, wages have become stagnant over the last 15 years and "getting on in life", "social mobility", whatever you want t

Not sure if I'd care. Depends on the context, but sometimes letting the bullies win is worth it for your own peace.

This author sticking around is far more than that community deserves. If I ever received that sort of message from a user of anything I'd built, I'd walk away forever.
