More power to him and I hope he makes it but ambitious action against climate change this is not. Under no circumstances will modified paddleboards become standard modes of transportation nor will anyone with the ability to make change look

Yea I’d expect Claude to be able to one shot this and I’m pretty pessimistic about the capability of these tools. I’m just so bewildered by posts like this.

The point being made that code is cheap, anything is replicable and that what actually matters is building human centered useful software is a very good point. However, It has nothing to do with today. This has always been true. It has alwa

This seems inherently false to me. Or at least partly false. It’s reasonable to say LLMs hallucinate because they aren’t trained to say they don’t have a statistically significant answer. But there is no knowledge of correct vs incorrect in

The SAT, American college entrance examine, used to, I haven’t looked in years so maybe it still does, take away points for wrong answers and give 0 points for no answer. I’m pretty sure it was +1 for right answer, 0 for no answer, -1/

This is one of those articles about activism that to me just reads as gatekeeping. The creator of the app clearly isn’t a bastion of knowledge about this stuff but he’s taking on incredible personal risk to try and do something. While it mi

That quote really perfectly encapsulates the challenge with these tools. There is an assumption that inherently code is hard to write and so if you could code in natural language it would save time. But code isn’t actually that hard to writ

Good news for the lords is that with the NLRB gone[0] the right to unionize will be gone and they can turn their attention to the Fair Labor Standards Act where the 40 hour work week is legally defined. 0: https://prospect.org&#x

As a manager I strongly agree with this post. I’m currently responsible for taking a team whose old manager wanted to go back to being an ic. The team has a reputation for being slow, not being the best at architecture. So far I don’t reall

Why does using a language/vision model feel more “real” to you than using equations which directly describe our understandings of physics?

Yea I’ve been surprised about the risk conversations because they cannot do anything if you run them in a sandbox. But it seems like for many the assumed part was we’d hook LLMs into everything asap. It’s absolutely mind boggling.

Yea all the “this bad thing will happen” discussion misses that the intent has been plain for at least a year now. The administration has plainly said what they would do during the election and they have rather faithfully executed on that p

The big thing here is that they can’t even be confident. There is no there there. They are a, admittedly very useful, statistical model. Ascribing confidence to it is an anthropomorphizing mistake which is easy to make since we’re wired to

Yea this is why I’m generally not that impressed by LLMs. They still force you to do the communication which is the hard part. Programming languages are inherently a solve for communicating complex steps. Programming in English isn’t actual

Well that’s the incompetent piece. Setting out to write giant historical employment contracts without a plan is not something competent people do. And seemingly it’s not that they over extended a bit either since reports claimed the time av

As a vegetarian I have strong opinions on this sort of thing. Everyone at Anthropic better be ethical vegans if they are claiming to give a shit about “model welfare”. It’s hard enough right now to make people care about the welfare of tran

That’s totally fair. Money though is a representation of desire and the reality is people don’t have interest in solving these problems. We live in a society where there’s much more interest in creating something that might be god than solv

For $100 billion you could get public standards for APIs of all kinds implemented. I don’t think people understand just how much money that is. We’re talking solve extreme hunger and create international api standards afterwards money.

The problem with LLMs as interoperability is they only work sub 100% of the time. Yes they help but the point of the article is what if we spent 100billion on APIs? We absolutely could build something way more interoperable and that’s 100%
