RLHF and system prompt, I assume. But isn't being able to identify LLM output a good thing?

Thank God taco trucks have become practically ubiquitous, even in small cities and suburbs. Not always cheaper than Chipotle, but definitely better quality (and usually cheaper..)

How much money out of your pocket went to school meals? Hint, not even 50 cents of your paycheck went to feeding poor kids. You are an idealogue and nothing more

Exactly, well said. Em dashes are fine. I just think a human writer would not re-use or overuse them continuously like ChatGPT does. It feels natural to keep sentence structures varied (and I think it's something they teach in English

That is indeed an LLM-written sentence — not only does it employ an em dash, but also lists objects in a series — twice within the same sentence — typical LLM behavior that renders its output conspicuous, obvious, and readily apparent to HN

Gov't IT is mostly contractors, and IME they do 99% of the work, so... That might be your answer.

Having a <house> is not a necessity. It should be taxed as a luxury. Having a <hot shower> is not a necessity. It should be taxed as a luxury. ... Well this line of reasoning isn't very good.

No, lol, I don't partake at all. I post in a few subreddits, and lurk here, but that's about it. Ditching social media, and not getting involved in temporal, partisan issues, has been more of a boon to my mental health than exerci

I love how so many HN users make up their own "syntax" in comments "[/or HN]" ! Jesus, lol.. Reminds me of when folks /emphasize/ words like /this/ in their comments. Anyways, I'm just joshi

I think the solution to your hang-up, which doesn't exist yet (AFAIK) is an LLM that is fine-tuned specifically for strict narrative context. The NPCs would then be trained on its own lore, and prompted accordingly. Hallucinations woul

Your next door neighbor already can end your life, though. Believe it or not, a gun is not the only way to kill someone. The question is, do you trust your neighbor (or do they have a life-long history of mental health issues, bullying, ext

I've floated that idea around in various internet comments and am usually met with the typical AI=BAD response. It would work so well in a CRPG type game, but I think a lot of folks would review bomb a game like that just because

I believe you are spot on! Thanks for the insight. The rationalization helped alleviate my guilt, but it didn't realistically change anything at work. Might have made things worse, actually.

LLMs work really well for open-ended role-playing sessions, but not so much games with strict rules. They just can't seem to grasp what would make a choice a "wrong" choice in a text-based adventure game, so they end up havin

You make solid points. My only point of contention: "I can donate to a food bank and help prevent starvation. But if I choose not to donate, no one is going to blame me for people being starved. " In the case of a federal program,

That's pretty mind-blowing. Hey thanks for replying. Mathematics is a tough subject to take interest in as a layman, but I still enjoy it for some reason.

The conjecture holds up through 2^68. Can't we just call it there? Lol I'm obviously being obtuse, but really is there some reason to think there would be an exception at sufficiently large integers? It's hard to even imagine
