It’s actually incomprehensible as a non parent. Your entire psychology re-orients after kids.

Alcohol, sure, but if I wanted to start gambling on sports today, I could, but it would be harder to start abusing prescription drugs or opioids.

Under 1% of the population is not the same as under 1% of people exposed, and if we dramatically increase exposure, we probably will proportionally increase problem gambling. Regardless, this is a good point, this isn’t nearly as high as al

I thought this was a strange insertion of geopolitics into the conversation so I checked out this account’s comment history. It’s good for others to see that some commenters here have a serious axe to grind and are not really “hackers” as t

Regarding showing ads for something you just bought, I’ve always assumed the principle here is that because conversion is extremely unlikely for a given ad, the super unlikely case you’ll buy something twice is actually more likely than a r

Could it be that coders are overly focused on the method for generating code over other forms of slop? For example, I’ve seen senior devs outsource their thinking entirely to Claude, then carefully (slowly) generate code that’s not slop on

It seems like it was to be able to not be encumbered by civil rights while attempting to solve the problem of terrorism militarily.

"In the 40s" and "in the 1860s" here are obfuscations of "during WWII" and "during the civil war". Extraordinary actions in the name of national security during a literal civil war or during a time of

From today's perspective, it sure seems like it, probably because increased capabilities have generated a new kind of danger. Back then, they were worried about stuff like the model telling me dangerous knowledge. I certainly think the

I mean, none of this is controversial from a historical perspective, people did think that way. Whether they were right about us is another matter.

The insight about agents loving to add stuff is spot on for more than just design. They'll do this for technical architecture, adding unnecessary guards, complexity to cover irrelevant edge cases. They'll do this for writing too,

There’s not such a straightforward relationship between safety and model sis. According to the book The Thinking Game, lower quality models at that time were considered less safe, because they could be easily tricked into doing harmful stuf

I’m trying to understand your point. This drug is for people with metastasized cancer. I’m comfortable with fast tracking it, because what’s exactly the harm of letting desperate people try something that seems likely to help a lot? Also,

I can’t reply to your other comment asking what was rude so replying here. I don’t actually think your comment was rude. (You were replying to my account.) I do think your comment was creating an “us vs them” frame (“I’m with the author”) w

The Waymo one definitely is AI, the original point here was that it was AI not just LLMs. The Apple News one really is about fraud and AI as the mechanism is just a sign of the times.

by seizethecheese 2mo ago
The inclusion of the Apple News story is sufficient to know that probably the classification here isn’t too tight. It’s not really against the article author to point this out, either, just trying to add color for the forum here. It’s not

Political stuff notwithstanding, I used to be an active X user with a large following, but stopped using it because I couldn't configure a client that reliably allowed me to 1) consume a non-algorithmic feed and 2) disable videos and p

The articles I cite were in the “about ai” category not “written by ai”.

I dunno, I was a contrarian with blockchain and now am conformist with AI. Being contrarian for its own sake is pretty stupid.

by seizethecheese 2mo ago
This is categorizing with a pretty broad brush, it seems. I took a look at a random day, and the articles that are claimed to be AI are Waymo publishing a model for self driving cars and a post about scams in Apple News ads. Sure, Waymo’s m

These results don’t just contradict more serious benchmarks, they are wrong on an entirely different axis. This is a saturated benchmark. Haiku gets 96%. The results here are “not even wrong” and this being #1 on HN right now is a massive s

I’ve previously called for such a policy, but I am slowly changing my mind. This blog post is so obviously slop… and I suspect it’s the product of an upvote ring of some sort (Haiku is 96% on this benchmark.)

The article specifically says flight attendants are only at increased risk of radiation related cancers, but not others.
