    Are OpenAI or Anthropic et al seriously building towards “world models”? I haven’t seen any real evidence of that. It seems more like they are all in on milking LLMs for all they a…

    It is quite literally losing money at an unsustainable rate. They need a path to profitability otherwise this is a massive boondoggle for all of the investors

    Okay let’s calm down a bit. “Extremely important” is hyperbolic. This is novel, sure, but practically jailbreaking an LLM to say naughty things is basically worthless. LLMs are not…

    Please put two and two together for the rest of us clowns who can’t quite figure it out. State your beliefs plainly so we can come up with some solutions.

    I can’t remember the exact date. It’s all part of a “tradition” since at least the 90s. First things were PC, then there were SJWs, then woke, then DEI. Who knows what they will ca…

    The inconvenient truth that the vast majority of adults refuse to acknowledge is that there is no safe level of alcohol. Any drink is going to damage you, marginal though it may be…

    Why are westerners so single mindedly obsessed about this decades old event?

    Kind of an odd move to pepper the HN thread on Dick Cheney’s death with non-sequitur comments about “the left”

    As in, did they use cameras? Image recognition? Manual record keeping? Thought it was pretty obvious that I was asking for more detail. Perhaps OP meant they ran an online casino a…

    Seems like a moment of moral clarity for someone who had an opportunity to do the right thing. I suppose the organization in question here needs to screen more aggressively for ind…

    Reports suggest there was an interaction that occurred between HR and some 13,000 staff, ultimately resulting in job losses. The staff were noted to be “behaving suspiciously “. In…

    I do think a lot of these people who claim reverse racism just have no idea what the word “equity” even means.

    Do you have any suggestions for how the PSF could fulfill its mission of being more inclusive in a non-immoral way?

    I find the nature of AGI discussion to be so narrow and tedious. Intelligence is incomprehensibly more than being able to generate text that looks convincingly like a human wrote i…

    Not sure what your twitter comment is about, I use it and I’ve just never heard of this product. Looks cool, I will give it a test.
