Just want to throw this out there -- if you see something like this and you just repeat "I heard this is dangerous don't do" -- you're not really adding any signal to the discussion, you're just repeating nth degree

I think the question still holds of -- what % of operating expenses are headcount? Is it feasible to double that number. Because frankly I don't think American engineers will (nor should) work 18 hour days unless they are getting paid

So the article is suggesting it comes down to this: That Taiwainese workers will work 16 hour days and weekends. That's true and probably won't happen in America with American workers. But, before we just take that one factoid and

How could anybody cite examples when there's zero oversight, including going through a special court system? We would have no way of knowing if agents are using this to surveil their exes, dig up dirt on political candidates and sell i

Curious if there are any metrics anywhere of how often these types of mistakes happen. It sounds very serious and it would be nice to have an authoritative answer on whether they are indeed increasing and/or whether it's particula

Maybe relative to us on this forum it's not so impressive but that's a rare skill that we've dedicated years to honing. What % of the general population can leetcode better than chatgtp? 5%? 1%?

I think most places don't collect enough telemetry in the right formats. It's also possible they collect too much in the wrong formats. But the ability to vet a hypothesis (I bet our users are confused about feature X, which we ca

I love this. What this needs imo is the ability to generate X samples (I see you already have that) and then say "Now generate 3 more like this one, with the following change: ..." I think this was a killer feature for midjourney.

That really feels like a bad-faith and misinformed comparison. Can you please at least do a very basic amount of research before you take sides on this? Perhaps watch a documentary (e.g. the devil we know) or read at least 1 wikipedia artic

The interesting or perhaps scary question is how many times are news hosts told to drop a topic/story and they go along with it and the public never even knows a topic was dropped? It's worth asking how we can make our systems saf
