I'm hitting safeguards trying to discuss ways to sieve sand. Seriously. I mean, I understand. They don't want to be responsible when some high school student unleashes the next plague. But it just means we're all going to

Yeah. This is pretty clearly the origin of the usage. The harness facilitates the work animal doing work for you. Not climbing harnesses to keep you safe.

I never did Digg but I remember the issue there was the "power users". Power corrupts, almost always. Most people are horrible when given power. The only thing holding them in-check is their powerlessness.

> it can't be both Really? Do you have a proof of that? Looking outside the realm of computer software, are you familiar with the concept of satire? "A Modest Proposal" is both funny and deadly serious at the same time.

That's fine. But the author's goal here is to determine if anyone can tell. So he's probably not going to ruin his experiment.

I believe this is to test the theory that people can detect watermarked text. Teaching you how to identify watermarked text while the experiment is running would ruin the data.

HEH. It still doesn't make it right.

> potentially My point is I don't understand how someone can get mad about something they're not even sure is happening. Are you aware that the publishing industry itself has destroyed more than 500X as many books as Anthropic

You understand that what you just said is true of almost every company in the United States... right? Sorry, but I'm going to save my efforts for the people who are ACTUALLY doing bad things - not just the people who I don't like

don't let the crankles get you down. this thing is delightful.

did i say he was being unreasonable? i asked him why he's pigeon-holing it. and you, too? don't hackers enjoy a little bit of playful ambiguity in their lives? must it be all serious all the time? sheesh.

my last comment was flagged - presumably i didn't make it pedantic enough for someone, so let me try again: why do you feel the need to pigeon-hole this work? the greatest things in life are more than one thing at once. EDIT: stealth

Heh... I remember C2. There was some kind of undeleteable system log somewhere, too, right? I could Google but it's more fun to vaguely remember.

Because you usually find out if someone is doing something before you get mad about it. No?

> I doubt the low-paid workers stripping, scanning and shredding the books are checking what anything is. You don't think they are, at the very least, checking to see if the book has been scanned before? A search like that could ver

I've been noticing a lot of alarmist stuff in the anti-AI community, too. I love how Oregon showed how to solve the electricity problem and is being entirely ignored. THEY'RE STEALING OUR ELECTRICITY!!!

Given all the bad PR around this issue - you'd think they'd do the 10 seconds of examination "is this rare" before putting it in the cutter. I'm genuinely surprised they don't.

LOL. If justice is blind then why do some lawyers charge so much more than other lawyers? Because they smell really nice?

TLDR - the rich get unequal treatment.

It takes a great deal of bravery to publish work like this. I see the comments are filled with people who have never used an agent to develop code and are quite sure this is the dumbest thing they've ever seen. Nice work.

Oh that's a shame - I hadn't seen that, but I can believe it. The philosophers who study these things have been clear for a long time - we can never know what it feels like to be in a digital brain. Or any brain for that matter.

One idea - these days there are many MANY more players using the same strategy - maybe the CIA wants us to be aware of the technique to limit its effectiveness.

Did I say "it's human and we should treat it so"? Sheesh. Yes, I agree with you entirely. I'm merely pointing out that ignoring this behavior is dumb, too. And probably not rationally based. Leads people to make crazy

Kind of like how programmers today refuse to wear suits: roughshod in the minds of the elite.

> The anthropomorphization of LLMs should be discouraged as much as possible. And yet, they have extensive human-like behavior. If you treat them nicely or encourage them, they perform better. Ignoring that human-like behavior is wrong

My friend calls this cheating "monkey's paw programming." It will give you exactly what you ask for. Sucker.

See how perverse this "I hate the way AI sounds" thing is? In the end everyone accusing everyone of being AI.

Meh. Ask the agent to be succinct. Make it a standing rule.
