AI pricing is not mainly about cost, it's about market realities, i.e., charging exactly the sweet spot to maximize profit.

While this sounds generous (and in some ways it is), it does not address the general point that GP is making. That is, the systematic disadvantage which large parts of humanity have w.r.t. to access to the tools. You could say they can&#x27

Ethnicity and culture are not static concepts. They change over time. The culture in central Europe, North America, the Middle East etc. 500 years ago looked very different from today. The ethnicity too. People have always migrated and that

All good, and I agree. But the question was about somebody who does write the text themselves, who edits it themselves, no AI has ever touched it, but the result still has elements of what AI text typically has. Because it's their sty

Thanks for sharing! My contribution to this discussion is the place in BTTF which makes fun of this concept, the home of Marty McFly: Hill Valley Not a tautological name but an oxymoronic one!

We need to stand up against this by refusing to adapt. Let them scream. They are wrong. I refuse to tune texts into less-fine-tuned form just to avoid being labeled LLM output.

by teiferer 5mo ago
Why would they have to? Just to avoid being accused of using a slop machine? If that is the only criticism you have against LLM produced text, then there is no problem. And I'm saying this as somebody who is strongly against LLM-genera

Really? Do we now suspect everybody who uses the most basic of stylistic elements of producing slop? Pendulums always swing back and forth between extremes but oh boy did this one swing fast into witch hint territory.

1. This was a response to a CS professor, so specific to CS students. 2. Yes, configuring gmail filters should be doable for anybody with a university degree. It's really not hard.

And that's why boys should be beaten when they misbehave?
433.
by teiferer 5mo ago
How on earth is that an acceptable argument for physical abuse that is directed purely at boys? I'm not saying girls should be beaten too. But the ethical blindness here is striking. Besides, girls are just as much capable of bullying

I came here from a discussion about CS students who should not be bothered to set up email filters. How can they ever expect to be able to digest just the first paragraph in that article?

by teiferer 5mo ago
If a CS graduate can't figure out some simple gmail labels and filters then they should not be awarded that degree. Plain and simple. It's not rocket science.

We are not in disagreement here. I'm not blaming AI, I'm blaming the culture around its use.

That is already how it works. The loner hacker in moms basement working for free on his super critical OSS package is largely a myth. The vast majority of OSS code is contributed by companies paying their employees to work on it.

What we are seeing so far come out of the AI agent era is reduced not increased code quality. The few advances are by far negated by all the slop that's thrown around and that's unlikely to change. > any useful piece of softwar

For all other languages, that is, naturally spoken languages, I would totally agree. You learn them by imersing yourself in the language, culture, country. But latin is a dead language. What you describe is what it is used for. It is a gram

> An AI system is a tool and like any other tool, responsibility for its use rests with the people who decide to rely on it Doesn't that argument backfire though? If I use a chainsaw then to a certain extend I will need to rely on i

Yes, cause grammar. Parent wrote "the minima is ". Not matter one or multiple minima, that expression has a problem.

No, tokenization is not the only reason. A next-word predictor has fundamentally a hard time executing algorithms, even as simple as counting.

I hope this kind of stuff puts the idea to rest that we're close to actual AGI. Outsourcing this kind of basic stuff which a real intelligence would be able to do "internally" is a hack which works for this specific case but

"Minimum". That's the singular. "Minima" is plural. Similar with "criterion" or "phenomenon".

Well this regex nonsense was likely vibe coded. If it escaped quality checks then this is a testament to how dangerous things coming out of Anthropic are, but not in the scifi sense that their CEO tries to make everybody believe.
