Journalists used to decry the use of LLMs. Now they use it freely to write their own articles.

by pickleRick243 3mo ago
It's not different- there's a line of research and reasoning where people who don't use LLM's regularly point out issues that have been known (and more or less solved) for more than a year now (which is an eternity in th

It's like people who expect ChatGPT to be really good at chess because chess engines with super-human performance have been around for decades, so obviously the latest frontier LLM that took billions to train should find the task trivi

Ah yeah, it probably is. I noticed I guess the more subtle LLMisms earlier on. I stopped reading fairly early on when I noticed I was wasting my time reading a long AI slop article. I do admittedly read a fair amount of "AI slop&quo

Yep, clearly LLM assisted writing. It was likely prompted in stages, not one shot with a single prompt. I'm surprised you are basically the only one to notice. It seems most people need to literally see "not X, but Y" or &

Not a Nobel prize winner (his advisor was though), but Stephen Hsu was a fairly high profile case. I remember watching a 2008 Google lecture of his on YouTube in 2019 and wondering- wow, the kind of research people could present a decade a

I don't see much point in continuing this thread. You're fixated on defending the poster's level-headed criticism of AI in music. I'm addressing a much more specific point- that despite the poster's claim, his dis

by pickleRick243 4mo ago
I didn't say there was anything to fix (I didn't use that word). The poster I replied to is free to dislike AI on principle. I'm just pointing out that his dislike of AI is in fact based on principle.

This is obviously "hating AI music on principle". Your last sentence means that there is literally nothing Suno can produce to change your mind. Not hating it on principle would be something like "Suno-produced music I'

Does Anthropic claim that Claude's conscious? Isn't the argument more that we don't know? I recently rewatched "Measure of a Man" in Star Trek TNG and Picard's closing argument in Data's trial was quite

Implicit in this article is that consciousness has to look like human consciousness. The author all but admits that he cannot fathom consciousness evolving in any manner besides how biological life evolved on earth. He needs to read/

Yes, I disabled all smart features. I'm surprised anyone here (or the type who bothers customizing their inbox layout) finds the Primary/Social/Promotions split useful. The original blog post mentioned "automatic threa

It seems a lot of people do though.

I found the blog post a bit annoying because it was clearly trying to win internet points rather than actually solve a problem. What you wrote above would have resolved the issue in a couple of minutes, faster than moving over to another e

I'm just curious- how many of you changed your portfolio allocation last April because "obviously" the Trump tariffs would tank the market? If you had similar thoughts when TSLA joined the S&P 500, what are your thoughts

This sounds like a fantasy in your head rather than something that actually happened. No competent VC would give meaningless feedback like this- if it's good, it's good; who cares if AI built it? If it's the same quality pr

The use Armin wants for clanker doesn't work because it is already widely being used as a derogatory term for LLMs. Co-opting the term back to the more neutral use he wants is a long uphill battle (and basically futile). Regarding his

You want the AI that's doing all the SWE work in 3-6 months? Somehow I doubt that.

Agent harnesses have barely been available for a year, and reasonably reliable for only half, and there's already fatigue. I think this says less about whether LLM's will actually be able to program and more about how mentally ex

I find it a bit hard to believe you actually think such a line of reasoning would be convincing. I think many MAGA voters in fact are aware that many of the immigrants are smarter than them, and hence they do the rational thing of trying t

There's also the other side. The beneficiaries of the system never feel the need to be grateful, as the money is legally theirs. So you end up with selfish/uncharitable on one side and ungrateful/envious on the other.

It's a good word to use because it has so much in common with western religious traditions. This is a religion: https://hex.ooo/library/why_not_unitarian.html You don't need to believe in Jesus, but you do ne

That's fair. If you're familiar with mathematics culture though, you'd know that "LLM hype" is not really in their blood and is certainly not something that gains you PR points. I think it's safe to take thei

Haha, now I do think it is more likely satire. I don't think HN has many people who would post like this sincerely.

You don't know the names of the mathematicians who've given their thoughts on this? If not, you really should just not comment on anything mathematical ever again.

Human ingenuity is untangling perhaps the deepest question of all- what is the essence of Reason and the intellect that so privileges man? I don't know if it's what God wants, but it's certainly getting close to some existen

Except this has been said since the 2010's and has been proven wrong again and again. Clearly the theory that LLM's can't "extrapolate" is woefully incomplete at best (and most likely simply incorrect). Before the

How is this different from saying the internet is inevitable? Paul Krugman famously disagreed, but that didn't make him right.

"Normal people" are not that political. They don't automatically change their opinion about a picture they like because they find out it was AI generated. They say, "oh that's interesting, I guess I should keep an
