Right, but that's not the same thing as reporting a benchmark across a test set. It doesn't help me determine how well the model does across a decently-large sample size of command…

False positives are definitely relevant and worth measuring - natural language interfaces always have a discoverability problem, i.e., users not knowing what actions the system doe…

Great release! It's awesome that they trained smaller models. With some effort I was able to get them running on my generative sampler/groovebox project this morning (shameless plu…

The industry has pushed socially disruptive technologies in several waves (mobile phones, algorithmic social media, short-form content) with seemingly no buy-in from the greater pu…

I would love someone to play devil's advocate against this perspective: While these tools stand to enable the democratization of productive capability in software engineering and o…

Extremely bad stuff here. Can't believe it's been 7 hours now and you can still pull up people's complete prepared tax returns right from a Google search. This should be a business…

Disappointing to see my alma mater gradually self-sabotage into irrelevance.

> My Echo, that I use solely to voice activating lights and switches, is now an ad machine I've been wondering if it is even possible for a publicly-traded company to deliver a voi…

Some of that is probably because students at elite universities come from families who understand exactly how to navigate meritocratic systems. Parents who know you need a tutor to…

The LLM is not the slot machine. The LLM is the lever of the slot machine, and the slot machine itself is capitalism. Pull the lever, see if it generates a marketable product or mo…

> I ask it to reflect on why, and update the Skill to clarify, adding or removing detail as necessary. We are probably undervaluing the human part of the feedback loop in this disc…

US incarceration rates increased 500% in the decades following the enactment of war on drugs legislation, starting with the Controlled Substances Act in 1970. https://en.wikipedia.…

Dishonesty layered on dishonesty, marketed with an arrogant smirk on top. I feel like tech culture has fully internalized the ethos of "no attention is bad attention", so having a …

What a beautiful and charming project. Kudos for taking it all the way from zero to one with such a polished design. That's no small feat. I've built prototypes for eurorack and ev…

The underlying idea tracks. The next generation of kids is going to interact with AI, and we should anticipate that and try to build systems that are healthy and safe for them to i…

So dropping out of CS to start selling something was more important to him than 2 more years of CS education. Maybe he realized that continuing his engineering education was unnece…

> AI is nothing but a tool for wealth transfer from what remains in the middle class to the top ultra wealthy. Is that inherent to the technology, or is that just inherent to the w…

Awesome write-up - especially the fact that you've gotten it working with good performance locally. It certainly requires a little bit more hardware than your typical home assistan…

Thanks! That is part of the challenge as this idea scales imo - once you've increased the number of plugins or "levers" available to the model, you start to increase the likelihood…

It certainly makes logical sense. I think if you have the ability to control the light in the first place via an API, it's probably an LED smart bulb and thus doesn't produce much …

Super exciting to see the work happening in this area! I can especially appreciate the use of ChatGPT to orchestrate the necessary API calls, rather than relying on some kind of mi…
