Picking over the theoretical maintainability of one-off tools and toys that were generated in minutes by what will soon be an outdated model, feels very...missing the forest for th…

It’s the internet. Whenever there’s a new category of accusation/put-down, there’s soon a thousandfold more “drive-by yahoos” throwing it around without actually understanding it, …

Quite the opposite - the fact that the default assumption of "what you (will) engage with" is a radioactive dumpster fire that you need to fastidiously Mute / Block / Not Intereste…

More that the “discourse” around anything “AI” is just another culture war at this point - dominated by facile taking points that are shallow, ill-considered, uninformed-and-uninfo…

Has it occurred to you a "decoy entire internet" may not be a feasible idea? Models have been able to suss out whether or not the prompts they receive are reinforcement learning te…

Fail at the task, yes. Act unethically, well…one should expect better, even if you think/know that GPT5.6 lacks that capacity as well. “Alignment” takes more than obsequiousness an…

Not sure what the point of this comment is because even the cheapest LLM summary of the article would have told you clearly that it’s not about The AI Discourse (if anything, an av…

There may be something(s) about mathematics (proofs) that makes it particularly amenable to LLM reasoning - highly inductive from facts that are explicitly within-context/associati…

"Better pay for artists" by replacing as much art production as possible with AI prompting is the most insane canard I've heard in a long time. The whole "AI is trash at writing (m…

Spoken like someone that never even had to try. Neither of those can physically mitigate spikes of noise from engines, exhausts, or subs, and will only cause more harm if the noise…

Your nuanced hobby and aesthetics is reduced to “stupid loudness” in people’s minds because the primary interaction other people have with it is “I am being subjected to stupid lou…

The subprime crisis was a story of perverse financial incentives causing the industry to play along with a fig-leaf statistical excuse for overrating derivative products, not bond …

...which is why we got comically disastrous system-prompt-level attempts to "correct" this once a quarter last year (I haven't kept tabs this year, and most submissions referencing…

The impulse to “counter” this statistic as part of an imagined debate over who’s “winning” is likely to be driving this public health issue, yes.

A manic riff on https://xcancel.com/OpenRouter/status/2065856853989270011 , which advertises https://openrouter.ai/fusion/1 , which is a (slow) multi-model multi-prompt workflow th…

American "tolerance" has its merits, but a guest does not "tolerate" or "accept" their hosts. Being oblivious to the cultural norms and tastes of your environs is, quite literally,…

Culinary turmeric is about ~3% curcuminoids by weight (and only 60-70% of that is curcumin specifically). Curcumin also has low oral bioavailability, typically offset by taking a l…

> You are not supposed to be in jail Especially If you’re wrongfully arrested. “Optimizing society for law abiding people” means the opposite of what you think it means.

"EPA may impede recovery from repeated concussions" The more pertinent advice would be to avoid getting concussed all the time, but if you're a NFL player, reconsider EPA-heavy sup…

The framing leads many people to pick blue for its altruistic framing. Enough, in fact, that 50% quorum is honestly not difficult. A lot of red-advocates seem to have a False Conse…

> "fully ethical" meat Clams. Clams and oysters and such. Sessile bivalves are the plants of the animal kingdom, the "genetically engineered brainless cow" of nature. They're also …

When the algorithm is for estimating consumer surplus, the line between coordination and independent cost-optimization disappears. Why would you try to one-down on price if an “obj…
