My read of it was "by today", aka cumulative. But you're right that it can also be read as "just today". The latter is an absurdly strong statement, I agree.

It doesn't say 1k per day. Not saying I agree with the statement per se, but it's a much weaker statement than that.

It's probably just prompt based. Actual fine-tuning for these kind of use cases is getting less common than it used to be.

Probably, but with a small sample size like that, they should probably be taking the uncertainty into account, because I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this variation falls within expected noise. E.g. some binomial interval proporti

Depends if it's sufficiently transformative or not.

Pointing out these errors isn't wrong. But making the leap to "therefore: AI hallucinations!" without substantiating those accusations is.

Yes, and a YouTube video more than a text article. etc. etc. It's a tool. The main question should be: is it useful? In the case of AI, sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I don't think that's the same. I spitball crazy ideas, but my core knowledge/expertise is sound, and I try not to talk out of my ass. (Or I am upfront when I'm outside my area of expertise. I think it's important to

Good / bad / unclassified. It makes sense for unclassified to smell worse than good, and it'd probably be the biggest category by a long stretch. (Pure speculation.)

You could set a cloudwatch cost alert that scuttles your IAM and effectively pulls the plug on your stack. Or something like that.

Those models are terrible. I tried one of the "best" ones and it told me the US Constitution was AI generated.

My laptop at Amazon was also covered in stickers, although I shied away from the more politically charged ones.

I think it's simpler than that, and they're just trying to avoid liability. With all of their claims about how GPT can pass the legal/medical bar etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they're eventually held accountable f

Damn, I goofed, thanks for calling that out. Can't edit the comment anymore unfortunately.

European here. One of the problems is that many of our society's systems are predicated on a growing population. Social security and pensions, for example, are structured not unlike a pyramid scheme: for every old person we should have

There's no inductive bias for a world model in multiheaded attention. LLMs are incentivized to learn the most straightforward interpretation/representation of the data you present. If the data you present is low entropy, it'l

Agreed. I've found some AI assistance to be tremendously helpful (Claude Code, Gemini Deep Research) but there needs to be a human in the loop . Even in a professional setting where you can hold people accountable, this pops up. If yo

Elon was three years old when the first Iron Man comic book came out. EDIT: and the movies are pretty faithful to the comic books.

I was just thinking about how LLM agents are both unabashedly confident (Perfect, this is now production-ready!) and sycophantic when contradicted (You're absolutely right, it's not at all production-ready!) It's a weird comb

This relates to one of my biggest pet peeves. People interpret "statistically significant" to mean "notable"/"meaningful". I detected a difference, and statistics say that it matters . That's the wro

The problem is that ChatGPT doesn't really know letters, it writes in wordpieces (BPE), which may be one or more letters. For example, something like "running" might get tokenizef like "runn"+"ing", being

The problem I see with (1) is that it becomes a little bit too easy to regenerate public keys and circumvent free tier metering.

At least for English, those "fansubs" aren't typically burnt into the movie*, but ride along in the video container (MP4/MKV) as subtitle streams. They can typically be extracted as SRT files (plain text with sentence

Damage is usually done in aggregate. Leaded gasoline didn't have people dropping like flies, but still caused significant damage. Although it seems this needs more research, I'd be wary dismissing it out of hand just because peopl

Mostly worked at bigger companies. Once joined a company with pretty shit colleagues/management. Left after three months. If you have mobility, it's worth shopping around for a decent place to work.
