Might have been AI-generated, or just poorly written. I found it hard to read either way.

Instead of reporting it to their legal department, report it to an EU data privacy regulator. (I know this wasn't your main point.)

What a weird and distracting AI-generated header image.

It would be nice if that were true, but there isn't as much correlation between those two as one would wish.

Because the bot requests are consuming significant amounts of bandwidth, memory, CPU, and disk space. Like the intro says, it's just rude, and there's no reason to serve traffic to harvesters like that. Google also runs an AI scra

Learning new things is great, sure! But why speculate on Rich's motivations? He has spoken extensively on the subject. (Hint: It's not because he was bored.)

No percent-by-weight limit on the amount of uranium in the glaze... :-)

It's not like a water-cooled computer that just uses water for heat transport . In a datacenter, I believe it's generally just evaporated off and lost to the atmosphere. This allows you to dump the energy into the vapor's la

I run all my stuff off a 15+ year old laptop someone threw out. Start there. :-)

Bear in mind that lithium has some unpleasant side effects. So if you don't need it, it's... not great.

« saying that it thought » This is, quite literally, not something that ChatGPT has the capability to do -- reporting on its thought process, that is. This is a hallucination.

« we’ve decided to just be a blog again, so: we had to learn this, and now you do too. » This is, indeed, the way.

So it's unreliable, doesn't have a backing theory demonstrating why it should be considered secure (" we can't figure out how to crack it, so it's uncrackable "), and requires manufacturing a physical object

The problem is that we already don't have enough supply, so we shouldn't be adding more demand.

What if we built more nuclear reactors and solar and wind farms... and then didn't use it to power LLMs, but instead were able to use less fossil fuels? :-)

We're at the point of not having enough sun and wind capacity and having to burn coal and gas. We've been at that point for a couple centuries. The goal is to not be at that point any more. Adding more demand? Doesn't hel

Your numbers aside, how do you explain the prevailing "we need to build more power plants for AI" sentiment in some circles? Surely that indicates a significant carbon footprint. (Especially when you consider how many are lookin

It makes sense to me -- illegitimately gained evidence is inadmissible. What would you do differently, and why do you think it would work better?

No, now I get to be a code reviewer instead of a writer, and that's a lot more mental energy for me.

That was a lot of words to describe... I think just "LLMs use context"? And the intro made me think he was mad about something, but I think he's actually excited? It's very confusing. I will admit, I skimmed. No jury wou

15 lines of Python would be able to crush this game. But that's not the point.

Bluesky is centralized. Mastodon is decentralized. Neither is distributed.

It's interesting how many of the commenters are starting from the assumption that this is both intentional and desirable (or in some other way smart on the part of YC) and then reasoning only on that basis. (Or maybe it's not inte

"Let Me Google That For You" was rude 20 years ago. "Here's what ChatGPT said" has almost identical vibes.

"You need to enable JavaScript to run this app." Very plain text! But I'm not sure what the point was.

That may be so, but scientists have an inordinate fondness for flies.

Yeah, I subscribe to Nebula -- and he's actually the reason I did. They have a decent size catalog although my interests are narrow enough that I only actually follow a couple of channels there. But that's certainly been worth the
