This post does not read like LLM output though

The resulting image holds zero power compared to a realistic deepfake. A drawing or a crude photoshop is obviously artificial. A deepfake can be used to blackmail, ruin someone’s r…

Is this a real take? You don’t see a difference between an app that allows anyone to transform a picture of someone into a convincing nude within seconds with no skill boundary, an…

Do you think Google should get government sign-off on every change to its routing algorithm?

..you good bro? Anyway, things are improving but that doesn’t mean people can’t have a say in what tradeoffs they are willing to accept in return for progress. A lot of progress ha…

everyone’s seen ads before, mind if I put a giant ad in the sky for everyone to look at?

Not really seeing what this has to do with Meta or data centers. The bacteria was traced back to a contractor, not really clear to me what the link between bacteria and data center…

Great, a totally vibe-coded website with a slop “analysis” about AI touting a meaningless ratio with zero context

Rock climbing ethics is more complicated and dramatic than that. Applying this logic about easements doesn’t really capture the whole picture, because you’re considering people onl…

iPhone 13. Did you change the slider at the bottom?

I could see it being good if it helps you estimate crimes committed by citizens. If you know where the gaps in your knowledge/data are, you can attempt to account for them. And tha…

Interesting — so in your opinion every country must build out datacenters or be left behind?

I think that’s fine, but 1) that mentality leaves you extremely vulnerable to being disrupted by LLMs and 2) IMO, if you are solving the same problems every day it means you are no…

I see this dilemma with LLMs all of the time. Should you use the LLM to do the thing directly, or use the LLM to implement a tool that does the thing? I tend to reach for the latte…

What are some other better ways to normalize?

It’s not morally wrong per-se but just because you are working with your government does not mean what you’re doing is necessarily moral

That’s insane. There should be a big team of people at AMD whose whole job is just to dogfood their stuff for training like this. Speaking of which, Amazon is in the same boat, I’m…

It’s just an externality of online advertising

I lost all of my photos when I was a college student too. I was way too irresponsible to actually back anything up. Kind of a bitter lesson.

I don’t think that is a good example. No one is debating whether LLMs can generate completely new sequences of tokens that have never appeared in any training dataset. We are inter…

The blog post discusses this point directly. Did you read it?

You couldn’t design a better system for incentivizing leaks if you were trying. Hell, the CEO literally said as much. Not sure how you can conclude the markets aren’t the problem.
