Awesome - now read it really closely and compare it to the version of reality in your OP. And DON'T paste it or this comment into your normal ChatGPT instance and ask it to respond. Really just think for a moment on your own. > The

Since OpenAI patched the LLM spiritual awakening attractor state, physics and computer science is what sycophantic AI is pushing people towards now. My theory is that those things tend to be especially optimised for deceit because they invo

In the essay I linked, there are some instructions you can follow to test out the idea under "step 1". It's really important to follow them exactly and not to use the same ChatGPT instance as you're talking to about this

This is SUCH a good example of pedantry and will become my new primary example. All too often, people think of pedantry as being along the magnitude of scale. The "rational" pedant's response to this is to use quantitative ja

I looked into founding a company in this space and steered straight back out of it because yes, by far and away the VAST majority of demand in the market of study tools for high/middle schoolers is cheating. Below that, parents are inv

I don't think HN comments have an irrational burning pit of hate for Mozilla. If Mozilla was shaped more like the Tor foundation in their words and actions I think a lot more people would be supportive.

You do realise you didn't actually commit any code, right?

If you're going to ask ChatGPT to write your response for you, I'll do the same. --- Great question! It's worth noting that your response exhibits several hallmarks of AI-generated content, including but not limited to: Bull

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Right, and there's the rub, and what's behind all these changes - coordination. We containerized to coordinate our ability to use lots of different runtime environments. We typescript'd and python'd the web stack so that

Apart from anything else, ECMAScript is a mouthful! Eeh-cee-emm-ay-script. Five syllables.

It seems like Waymo... just fundamentally does in fact work. So if we do things with cars intended for long term systematic reform, we should do things that are optimised for the world of increasing driverlessness. I imagine a world without

I think it's less about content topic and more meta content topic. EG I don't want to remove pictures of broccoli because I don't like broccoli, I'm trying to remove pictures of food because it makes me eat more. Similar

Open source library development has to follow very tight sets of style adherence because of its extremely distributed nature, and the degree to which feature development is as much the design of new standards as it is writing working code.

If OpenAI fails, the assumed case is overcapitalisation relative to demand. In such a world, if the reason OpenAI has no liquidity is because there's insufficient demand, there's no customers to move across.

There's a lot of overlap between "AI is evil megacapitalism" and "AI is ineffective", and I never understood the latter, but I am increasingly arriving to the understanding that the latter claim isn't real, it&

Because marginal work is only marginally rewarded. Spending one week and coming back to whoever with a nice piece of paper saying we fixed 60 bugs will earn a lot more rope from non-technical folk than fixing 3 bugs per week - the latter ju

Depends what you mean by deep in the hole. Given how liberal Gemini is with free access it hardly seems like moneymaking is the end goal. Amongst AI labs, I've personally found Deepmind to be consistently the least sensationalist and l
