Except there are no people like the parent commenter insisting that everyone is capable of seeing their green if they tried hard enough or whatever

Sounds like the next step is to start rumors about vulnerabilities so that someone else will find them and you have plausible deniability. "Hey, did you hear? Someone told me <competitor company> might be leaking their logs from

Yeah, I feel like what these files do is not that difficult to understand; it's just context that the agent will pick up and use pretty much the same as any other context it has. No, it won't deterministically prevent things with

At best, what you're describing seems like a skill issue with the people describing it. Using multiple different metaphors that imply the thing you're saying is unrelated (mind's eye , visual ization, image, etc) is just bad

It's not even like fuzzers are valuable because of the process they use specifically either; the value is that they produce a concrete input that you can use as a reproducible test case at that point. The value could be produced by gaz

Fuzzers find inputs, not just "potential" errors that aren't triggerable.

So we've gone from "completely" to "partially", and the source is still just handwaved?

In practice it doesn't though, for any actual products on the market today.

If you have to say "don't make up something" for every possible question you ask in order for it not to make up something, that's a massive usability issue for regular people. If saying "don't make up something

And my point is that I've never met a human who confidently asserts incorrect information in such a broad range of domains rather than just admitting that they don't know

That sounds like a much weaker claim than the original one. "These values directly lead to civilization collapse" is a lot different from "these values roughly resemble some of the ones in societies that have collapsed when t

I know you weren't the one who posted the original comment that spawned this thread, but trying to pivot the discussion into "I think there is a crisis coming" after people pushed back against a wild claim that the same type

Sure, and by the same logic, if I was trying to cook a steak, I would not trust an arbitrary human to know the correct temperature off the top of their head; I'd want someone who I could trust had actual experience with the task I was

The parent comment said that these types of behaviors are inherent to how LLMs work, and your response was to "ground them in facts". From what I can tell, this does not meaningfully change the original point the parent comment wa

by saghm 2mo ago
I don't understand what this means. I use LLMs daily for my work in programming things, and they regularly will assert things that are not accurate.

If a small group of people fully automated all production and controlled it, they wouldn't need anyone to buy anything anymore; they could live off of it indefinitely and produce whatever they needed to in order to protect themselves f

Yeah it's kind of hard to understand how someone can argue this without giving any examples. What would be an example of a civilization that's been destroyed by "modern liberal society and feminism"? "Modern" i

I must be either misreading your point or not recognizing intentional irony. I would expect the Amish to average a lot of kids per family, but I'm not aware of any instance of a civilization disappearing due to being outcompeted by the

We also can't definitively state that the reason we "went off track" and lost was the superdelegate counting. It's certainly a plausible factor, but there are so many factors that go into trying to predict how situations

This is coming full circle back to how `rust-analyzer` originally got introduced: it was an alternative to the official `rls` (Rust lanaguage server) intended to provide better performance and eventually became the new official one. I'

I got lucky when registering an LLC last year for some contract work because despite having a relatively common first and last name, no one had named an nLLC that in my (very large) city. At some point during the process, I had to pick an o

I guess I wasn't clear: I'm aware there are people who think that the choice doesn't really matter. That's very different than people literally being blocked from appearing on the ballots at all (which some people in sib

Although you're referring to prompts given the Claude rather than the people attempting to recognize, it occurs to me that most of the discussion I've seen around people recognizing AI seems cover contexts where the reader is acti

I care about language a lot (feel free to go back through my comments from the past few days; you'll see a number of comments I made in debate about two different forms of a specific idiom because I have strong descriptivist opinions),

Your first link seems to 404; not sure if it's a typo or if the page doesn't exist anymore, but hopefully you'll read this while you're still in the edit window and can fix it

As someone who always has felt that I struggle to infer what people mean compared to the average person, I could tell pretty much from the first moment I encountered LLM-generated text that I was not going to be particularly good at recogni

Can you be more specific? Are you claiming that the winner is not actually whoever gets the most votes (e.g. voter fraud, corrupt vote counting), or that someone who would not authorize something like this would literally not be allowed to
