Based on the comment section here, it seems like the opposite; the majority of the people here need a reminder that companies aren't actually genies that can only tell falsehoods, …

I'm disappointed that this is the level of discourse happening here, when the default assumption is such conspiratorial thinking. I expect that from tiktok and low-information soci…

Genuine question, was this comment written without opening the link? Because I can't see how you've come to this conclusion unless you're skipping several steps. The ads in TFA sti…

Yeah, that would be a problem. Luckily, the actual post we're discussing isn't putting any advertising in the model. This is a very important distinction to make -- complaints shou…

> if we could move society to a new paradigm That's the reason why. That's just too big of an "if". Any premise that is predicated on an artificially-induced complete paradigm (cou…

I feel like you're not actually engaging with GP's point, Jonathan Swift. Their point is that unpopular climate policies are exactly what is pushing the general populace towards th…

> I'm sure that legislators could put the principle down in a much clearer way. That's precisely the problem here. You're "sure" that a problem you don't actually fully understand …

Depending on how you ( you specifically) are defining "fully stated": 1. This is very literally what already happens, it's called a EULA. 2. In practice this means you are required…

If you have a race condition, "correct action" is to solve that, because you shouldn't be papering over server-side bugs with client-side Javascript (and yes, it's a bug, because I…

Yeah, I clocked it as AI the moment I read "Here is the uncomfortable part". Pangram detects it as 100% AI-generated: https://www.pangram.com/history/c410d4b4-abfd-4ca0-b52d-db0d..…

Hey, just FYI to everyone: Even though this article is conveying good (and useful) information, it seems to be completely AI-generated. Pangram clocks it as 100% AI: https://www.pa…

Yeah, I clocked it as AI the moment I read "Here is the uncomfortable part". FWIW, Pangram detects it as 100% AI-generated. https://www.pangram.com/history/c410d4b4-abfd-4ca0-b52d-…

Whether or not someone is entitled to something has very little bearing on whether someone believes they are entitled to something (and are willing to waste everyone's time to make…

Touché

Considering that "sentience" has enough "philosophical leeway" that it's just as reasonable to assert that LLMs are sentient (and at extremes, that they have been sentient for year…

Consider the number of humans I've seen make statements that fit that description (about AI, no less!), I don't think that's a strong argument against it.

> they don’t understand I have not seen any instance of this frequently-made assertion which is at all justified. It seems to rely on a definition of "understand" which is more abo…

The definition has already been stretched to not fit the previous models. There is no meaningful, static definition that significantly predates current capabilities. There's a reas…

That's already been true for a while, you're overestimating the average human. They just have different failure modes.

The main relevant difference between the former and all of the latter is that we're generally fine with regulating the labor market, but (liberals at least) are generally much less…

If you mean "set up an equivalent service" under your own domain, that's both less private and more likely to be blocked; there are a lot of services which, unfortunately, only all…

There are a number of CEOs that I would be willing to label as not being rational actors. Bezos would not typically make that list.

Nowhere in the terms of service for any Anthropic product does it guarantee access to Mythos or Fable.

I'm less confident in that. To me the way the announcement reads as malicious compliance -- this administration is extremely petty in its dealings, and it's not outside the realm o…
