I agree that de facto the biggest security flaw in Linux is "okay I'm tired of getting interrupted all day assisting you, I know you're competent, I'll put you on the sudoers list.…

I didn't say "3 days of full-time work," that is totally unreasonable. I was giving them basically unlimited time to do whatever slow testing and research they needed. And let me q…

FWIW I think "LLMs are semideterministic" is something of a red herring. The real difference between LLM codegen and compilers is that compilers output logically the same assembly …

Surely the biggest difference is that you guys are mostly testing LLMs on simpler utilities, mostly involving higher-level languages, whereas ProgramBench are all very complex C pr…

If I invented a machine that makes chimpanzee noises in response to input chimpanzee noise, put it in front of a chimpanzee, and watched the chimp coo and yell and screech and purr…

"Haw haw, you couldn't tell it was written with AI!" "Oh! That explains it!" "Uh..." "I didn't want to say anything rude, but the whole time I was like 'yikes, how did this idiot b…

This knee-jerk cynicism is badly undermined two sentences later: > Researchers say that climate models may need to be updated to account for the warming effect of plastic, but the …

Darkly funny that Armstrong's Twitter bio still reads "Creating more economic freedom in the world" when he has relegated humans to "the edge" of his own organization in favor of t…

But there would be no basis to claim this trademark was abandoned (even before Don Ho responded to infringement). Notepad++ is famous software actively getting new features and new…

This is both unethical and completely useless at the (supposed) goal of "show[ing] the current capabilities of AI." What a completely garbage case study! And what a dishonest write…

That's not what I said, I said the blog post was false because the author thoughtlessly digested a YouTube video. It looks like the blog invented some details that weren't actually…

The nice thing about books vs. YouTube is that it's much easier to critically interrogate books while you're reading them. That was the difference with my dad: he thought about wha…

The point is that it doesn't really make sense to say they're "seeing" anything. You said So… are the neurons on that chip seeing? We all desperately want to say no. But I can conf…

An underappreciated source of nonsense in 21st century discourse is people watching YouTube instead of reading things. It doesn't appear this author read anything, preferring to be…

I sincerely laughed out loud when I saw the screenshot of the "Artificial Life Cognitive Platform": Cognitive Stack System 3 - Long Term Drives I love being petted. System 2 - Emot…

That's not what this article is about. It's really about algorithmic social media. There is one short paragraph near the end that mentions AI: "AI did not kill the Internet; it inh…

This particular case was extremely unsympathetic, but a critical part of the failure was people being too credulous about the claims of AI providers. They are still refusing to tak…

I refuse to use LLMs and don't have a job, so I'm just some guy. What I find strange about this is that in 2020 nobody would be this openly cynical and selfish about, say, good Pyt…
