It's a failure on all fronts. I think it's an indictment of Flock in the same way that full body scans are a scam. If you are always scanning for illnesses/crimes you will inevitab…

Yeah if they were so committed to doing good, you'd think the billions of dollars they have spent would bear some evidence of that by now.

I think you nailed it. If the author was a billionaire in the Netherlands he might not notice the differences as they do in the article.

This has been a frequent problem on fiction writing on royal road. Author promises that they don't use AI to write and then proceed to use AI to generate the cover for the series. …

I've had the feeling that labs aren't pelicanmaxxing specifically but that they do have some sort of RL environment for SVGs that they are letting the AIs overcook in. Specifically…

Once you lose, you have lost. Ok, but how does that help us predict when something will lose?

> with AI-generated content excluded from pre-training. > without distillation from third-party models sounds like zero unless they are lying.

My point is that if I made someone "smarter" they wouldn't suddenly know "What day, month, and year was Carrie Underwood’s album “CryPretty” certified Gold by the RIAA?" which is a…

Knowledge benchmarks can't really be improved upon via distillation or RL. It requires those facts be added to the training corpus and for the model to memorize them better. Neithe…

"Shark attacks correlate strongly with ice cream sales" is an entirely true statement that some would argue is also misleading. Misleading should be removed as a category and repla…

My threshold for asking for help might be a little higher than the median, but, I like this operating style personally. Maybe it's just how I was raised, but the thought of not try…

The null hypothesis isn't just the opposite of whatever your opposition believes. For LLMs the null hypothesis would be that there is no relationship between the input and output t…

Sending an AI response to a question that someone asks you is insulting because it's a bit like sending them a link to letmegooglethat where it just animates typing the question yo…

If your AI alignment strategy is so fickle that it breaks if people simply discuss potential problems with the strategy then you didn't really have an alignment strategy to begin w…

It makes scams like that scalable. Once you discover one vector of scamming an AI bookkeeper, you can scam all of the users of that AI, using your own AI to scale it for you.

Well did they sell the website too? Or just the domain? Because the domain doesn't generate ad revenue, the original website did. Like just because I sell the domain name for my bl…

I think most of the people who pick blue would be empathic, loving people that are just kind of bad at game theory. I don't think I want to live in a world in which they all died o…

The downside of redding is that some portion of the world probably dies and you now have to live in that worse world that if you and 50% of the rest of the world has just blued, wo…

can't wait for "our worst and dumbest model yet"

Instagram follows is not a good way to hire football players but it's probably a good way to hire instagram influencers. The football analogy is a little unfair because VCs are inv…

Agreed. I think the starting comparison actually works here. It's a bit like the automobile. The advice of "just don't" doesn't work for cars. It takes a deliberate effort on every…

It's going for a rendition of the leaning tower of Lire.

Most breakthroughs that are published are for efficiency because most breakthroughs that are published are for open source.' All the foundation model breakthroughs are hoarded by t…
