That's not exactly a following reasoning to use for LLMs ... In automation studies things are most dangerous just before full automation due to bias. Why tap the brakes when surly the car will do it on its own when that isn't a

Do AI commentators only expect to be read by AI fans?

I can't upvote ya enough. There's some kind of Clever Hans thing where people aren't honest with how much fudging they have to do, or how brittle the results are.

Good point haha thank you

It's a good question because I also hastily wrote that. You'll come to defer to the model on average when it comes to otherwise coin flip judgements you have make when you yourself are unsure. The model may not have any more infor

Absolutely. Although another sentiment also on HN is that it also doesn't matter which I find cynical when I see people use that as a pro-llm sentiment like "who cares if it doesn't work."

There are different kinds of reliable. There is the reliability of certain failure for instance. These things are unreliable in a way that the other things that you listed are not.

I don't agree with Ed's general style of rhetoric but everything single thing he says is important and are active topics of avoidance and hand waving from language model advocates who are also obviously also upset by what he says.

This is really great!!

Yeah I'm starting to think they aren't aware of the shell game in their own rhetoric. If nothing can ever be wrong then nothing is right either in that worldview.

Not actual knowledge but adages ! Lol "here is my magic potion that I can't tell you how it differs from the other magic potion!" That is not fixing anything. That's trying to string people along and insert yourself othe

There's simply no way to verify everything that comes out of these things. Otherwise why use it? You also can't possibly truly know if you know more about a topic since by definition the models know more than you. This is automati

You have an automation bias. "Surely this thing knows more than me it must be right." and there is no reason to believe that, but you will.

Lol, "it didn't do it... and if it did it didn't mean it... and if it meant it it surely can't mean it now." This is unserious.

Thank you all I guess the answer is yes.

Whenever I ask people wanting to use such features at scale which figure could be out of place or have a transposed digit it generally makes the project evaporate.

Does the general laws of demos apply here? Than any automation shown is the extent of capabilities not the start?

I've tried every way I can think of to get an LLM to generate valid code to do this, but everything seems to require manual intervention. I've tried giving it explicit examples, I've tried begging, I've tried bribing, an

But not more predictable or regular.

I have no idea what you're talking about because they still screw up in the exact same way as gpt3.

by th0ma5 1y ago
I don't think there's a good way to do this. The entirety of the AI industry at this point is to short-circuit any arguments against it.

There's also a specific argument in selling the racing is a better way to develop sailing skills because cruising ideally may not challenge you.

You have the right perspective. All of these people hand waving away the core issue here don't realize their own biases. Some of the best these things tout as much as 97% accuracy on tasks but if a person was completely randomly wrong

The problem has always been that every token is suspect.

by th0ma5 2y ago
Not to pick on you, but this is exactly the objectionable handwaving. What makes you think we'll get there? The kinds of errors that these technologies make have not changed, and anything that anyone learns about how to make them bet

What are the failure points of hosted solutions like Tail scale versus self hosted options?

by th0ma5 2y ago
You have to take Simon with a grain of salt he confuses demonstrations with solutions. I was just looking at some other code he generated using vibe techniques and it's generally not suitable for anything remotely robust and for some r

I don't think you can separate the mechanics from the content. Usually people feeling pushback against their political ideas don't realize they are dumb ideas even if they are complex.

How would this be resolvable ?
