I mean, the constrained output mode also doesn’t hallucinate in this sense.

They’re definining hallucination as a property of iterative generation, which is fair enough, but then it’s sort of like selling a boat and saying it doesn’t need tire changes.

I was confused by the “can’t hallucinate” thing, because it sounded like BS but people were taking it seriously. I purposefully asked a stupid question sort of like “this can’t hallucinate because it only has one output and there’s a schema

Hmm is there a market for provisioning a similar system with ZDR being easy?

Just to be sure that I understand, you're saying that your model "can't hallucinate" because it only outputs a single thing, right? In this way, an LLM can't hallucinate either if I prompt it to do a classification

You do realize the limited liability corporation was a key innovation that unlocked the Industrial Revolution, right? Companies definitely respond to fines or liability. They just need to be big enough. For example, I recently heard an inte

Quality already is the norm for many products. For example, I own Sennheiser headphones, an iPhone and a MacBook. (Sure maybe not the absolute top of the line, but definitely more expensive than commodity products.) I find great utility in

In what case is capex (for any company) not required for the end product? Are you arguing capex is disingenuos as a concept? In your car example the training is much like setting up the manufacturing line. I think the issue here is that the

Both world wars dramatically sped up technological progress, what are you talking about?

Which is it? Would the regulations slow down competitors or let them catch up, or are you contending it would let American competitors catch up but Chinese ones not?

That’s a charitable way to interpret what they’re trying to do in this letter. I would say they are trying to maintain the status quo to protect their status system.

I don’t think it’s obvious. In my Leibniz example, mathematical understanding surely would have accelerated right?

Can confirm this wasn’t AI generated. (And for what it’s worth, it’s a strange allegation.)

by seizethecheese 14d ago
I don’t think they make a coherent argument here? This seems to hinge on some argument that because AI doesn’t properly explain its breakthroughs, therefore the breakthroughs are less fertile for human understanding? This makes no sense. Wh

I have a hard time charitably interpreting this comment. Care to explain?

Huh, I learned something new but also your post is misleading. According to what I read after reading your comment: - google founders’ research was funded from federal grants. - federal grant was administered by National Science Foundation

I disagreed with you and went looking in the article for evidence (yeah bad, epistemologically). I actually found evidence for your point. The largest cause of fatal crashes is Generally distracted or "lost in thought" (daydreamin

Sure and I did that, but I’d frequently forget it, it was annoying.

Wait, they added this feature that was only on pro models to the non pro ones, seems reasonable to mention?

Elsewhere in the thread, others have calculated $15mm at API rates for just the output token. (So I’ll assume this cost about that much, taking input and human researcher time.) I wonder whether a team of 60 mathematicians working solely on

This is a double edged sword right? Allowing judges to interpret the “spirit of the law” more widely would create a different set of absurdities, I think.

I don’t think we disagree at all. The feeling is very different from the intellectual understanding of it.
