I think that's the joke

I always find it a bit weird to see posts on the front page where all the comments disagree with the central premise of the article. In this case the post is an ad advocating for e…

Ah okay, I think it's a perfect analogy, and this helps clarify where our disagreement is. I do believe it's a binary thing: One day a model gets released which is sufficiently goo…

Not really? Your thinking about the definition of the word "relevant" seems a bit confused here... By your logic, home insurance is "irrelevant" because you don't seem to use it mu…

Obviously I assume LLMs will continue to improve, I don't know why you'd think I don't. But the actual relevant prediction here (the one you're confident enough about to give skill…

Okay, but what will you actually do when your LLM writes code which doesn't actually error but produces incorrect behaviour, and no matter how long you spend refining your prompt o…

If this wasn’t true, we couldn’t know it.

The author wrote a follow up in Gizmodo - apparently Google's answer boxes were also claiming that it took "about 5 minutes", and they were listing OPs article as the source. Incre…

This comment is unusually well known. If you google the url wrapped in quotes, you'll see it referred to as "the famous/infamous dropbox comment". It's become something of a symbol…

>It would be LESS work to just follow the source material. But the source material might be less marketable and therefore less profitable. So it might be less work, but it would al…

>WHY would a superintelligent AI, trained on the collective data of humanity, want to destroy humanity? Why would humans want to damage various ecosystems on earth? We don't really…

This is super interesting, and I think depends how you define information. You can take some information, combine it with other information, apply various kinds of reasoning to it,…

I was curious what you were referring to here, and found this case study which was interesting: https://eiara.nz/posts/2022/Dec/09/a-case-study-on-raspberry...

IANAL but I don't think it matters whether the purpose of collection is specifically to facilitate paid features. From the European Commission: > The GDPR applies to: [...] > 2. a …

I don't suppose you could share which site(s) you're using these days? I recently tried torrenting for the first time in a while, and it seems like many of the sites I used to use …

Very cool! It would be really satisfying if it could detect a balanced stack, show some kind of effect, then offer to restart. Maybe the restart would just replace all your rocks w…

>I wish there was a way to smooth out the UX so that this feels first-class and I stop accidentally breaking this illusion at times. This is probably not what you meant by "smooth …

Maybe you misread the article - the obsession here is with "speedup", which is not the same as productivity. The author gives the example that instead of simply doing more X, being…

Yeah, I don't think they're literally meaning "hurt" here. Maybe a better analogy is where you're having a conversation with someone, and they throw in a double-negative. It's not …

The article talks about this: "Now, I think the vast majority of drivers will understand what’s going on and treat them as normal blinking turn indicators, but these indicators hur…

Did anyone else feel like they missed the bit where it explained why you shouldn't be building websites for iPhones? I kept looking for a sentence which summarised the analysis of …

Does anyone else feel like replacing all the legacy finance infrastructure with decentralised code is going to produce a worrying number of stories like this? Most of the examples …

I don't think this is very unusual for people who spend a lot of time typing.

This comment is really hilarious in the context of your submission history.
