Sorry -- I meant that as an extension of your comment: the landlords, in addition to being banned as you say, should also be reeducated.

That has the smell of an evolutionary just so story

Banned and reeducated.

Yeah, reading the response raised a lot of questions for me too. I find it striking that he doesn't comment on whether the presented facts were true or relevant. What does it mean that "In 2025, a search tool revealed that Meta [.

Or the book "why fish don't exist", which got a lot of press last year if you consume media outside of youtube.

Suggest looking up the word "spat" and relatedly "spate"

The only players doing the right thing are the ones that are staying out of LLMs entirely.

The point is that the margins aren't "healthy" for the industry if their users can't be profitable, because if that's the case, the users will all go out of business, and the providers will stop being able to charge
252.
by topaz0 1y ago
Yes, and the comment you first replied to was about the state/viability of the industry as a whole. If users can't make money from this "transformative technology", even when the provider is in the stage of burning money

Not that it would drastically change the conclusions, but do the numbers for "fund i" include the forms that say "fund ii" etc (by virtue of the fact that "fund i" is a substring of "fund ii" etc)?

That's an argument for why openai and anthropic shouldn't be profitable, but this point is about how also they don't have customers using the models to generate a profit either. Things like cursor, for example. ETA: also note

by topaz0 1y ago
Worth noting that the post only claims they should be profitable for the inference of their paying customers on a guesstimated typical workload . Free users and users with atypical usage patterns will obviously skew the whole picture. So

I found this while looking for information about intentionally progressive property tax schemes. Not too surprising to find that expensive houses tend to be undertaxed (because they tend to be appraised below their true value), but I didn&#

They use the area under the receiver operating curve, which is a pretty standard way to boil that down to one number.

This was my first thought as well -- even some of the examples in the post are pre-llm.

It would be one thing if the post was arguing for or against the substance of that essay, but it's really not -- it's about a different thing you can do, in a different context.

I've seen chatgpt output here as comments for sure. In some cases obvious, in other cases borderline. I wouldn't guess that it's a major fraction of comments, but it's there.

I'd take this advice one step further: just don't use the robots

I hope you used the llm to write the emails

Chatgpt doesn't give advice at all, but could say "after interpreting chatgpt output as medical advice"
265.
by topaz0 1y ago
I'd say that the thing that messed up was the AI hype machine for pretending it might ever be a good idea to take chatgpt output as advice.

A computer can be helpful for enumerating cases and similar mechanical work. But an LLM specifically would be a terrible way to do this.

All this tech, just to recover the speed and smoothness of friction shifters from 30 years ago.

I was on a tour recently with a guy who brought a racing bike with rear-only panniers that probably weighed 2-3x the whole rest of the bike. He really struggled with the balance.
