I wonder why doesn’t the Internet Archive require logging-in prior to accessing the Wayback Machine. It would probably help them distinguish humans from bots, at a very little cost to humans.

One of the things that stood out in your article was the high amount of negations or contrasts. This is one of the worst hallmarks of AI writing, because humans tend to write in a more straightforward way, without as many caveats. My two ce

The fact that your arguments will probably end up in an LLM’s training data makes me think they are not implausible at all

This tracks with what OpenAI has been saying about Astra: that it tends to do things in a certain way and it’s up to you to prompt it to change its style.

I add commands that constantly fall into this rabbit hole to AGENTS.md alongside an instruction for the agent to request escalation immediately instead of failing first then retrying out of the sandbox. It’s a hack, but it works.

What do you suggest for articulating the writing style that one wants from LLMs? I’ve been experimenting with having LLMs write/update academic notebooks for me, and so far the best results I’ve gotten came from correcting their output

I noticed the same thing. In the app, normal “Chat” threads are only available via a “Checking recent chats” window, while projects, GPTs, library… are completely absent. The web version of ChatGPT is confusing too. Now it has separate “Cha

I’m interested in knowing how each of GPT 5.6’s variants fare in non-English writing/translation tasks. GPT 5.5 has a tendency to write English calques and non-idiomatic prose in other languages. Although that can be somewhat tamed wit

I wonder why they haven’t simply continued to rebrand Codex as a general-purpose tool. ChatGPT Work is a convoluted name and continues the trend of having separate brands for separate things, what runs counter to OpenAI’s purported goal of

In a few years Sony executives will be wondering why a portion of their consumer base decided to prioritize other forms of entertainment. I can speak for myself in that I’ve never upgraded past the PS3, and I feel no regrets about it.

I’ve been experiencing similar feelings. Working with LLMs often takes almost as much mental energy as working with people, but the payoff does not always scale in the same way. I think we are still on the early days of LLMs. Right now, usi

I got 68,900 words, with the vast majority of the errors being on the grandmaster level. As a non-native English speaker, I found that result pretty good! Though being a native Portuguese speaker certainly helped me as many difficult words

Yak shaving with AI allows me to function more as a systems designer, code reviewer and tester than a coder per se. AI is great if you simultaneously guide it and let it guide you. I take my time building a very detailed spec for what I wan

I always liked yak shaving, but avoided it because I knew it came with costs and tradeoffs. More recently, with the help of AI, I’ve been doing lots of it, as the costs and tradeoffs have greatly diminished. In fact, I’ve learned that build

I hadn’t thought about that, it’s a valid use case and likely to have increasing demand as drone deliveries become commonplace in the next few years.

Very convincing indeed! I really want to know what AI made that, as I’m looking forward to creating personal/customized music in a similar way.

I wonder why Google doesn’t bother competing with Microsoft in the flight simulation niche. All that Google Maps data would be pretty cool to use for that purpose, but instead we’ve got only this toy feature inside Google Earth.

I disagree. I’d prefer if my government invested more in AI solutions, so as not to depend so much on foreign technology. In an ideal world, Brazil would have a thriving private sector, capable of competing even in the AI sector. Unfortunat

I wouldn’t describe what happened here as incompetence. As a “carioca”, I am pleasantly surprised to know that the government’s IT department is involved in AI work — even without the budget to create its own models from scratch.

That “Don’t Insure Me” option hidden in the middle of a country list is pure evil. I’m used to seeing dark patterns everywhere but that’s a first for me. From where I stand, it’s not fair to charge the hell out of people who fall for these

Not OP but, anyway, AI output should be treated like any other source material. I study from reputable sources every day and never cease to be amazed by how many errors or misconceptions they have. Peer-reviewed articles, books from renowne

Extremely high! Those various caveats there — “value-aligned”, “safety-conscious”, “case-by-case agreements” — probably mean that no project ever will be “worthy” of OpenAI’s assistance. In the unlikely event that an abiding project appears

Five-figure minimum spend sounds pretty expensive for the vast majority of businesses out there. Of course, just a drop in the bucket for major brands.
