They did that with "Talkie", a model trained on 1930 and before. It had the ability to assemble crude Python programs, but there were definitely some leaks in the training data (it…

Seems a lot like you want me to accept your "unverifiable personal anecdote" about these videos...

Fascinating claim that the scientists were removed for being "Partisan" in distributing information that disagreed with their opening speaker, but of course the opening speaker was…

Uh, top comment says "exactly one" so where are you getting "enough to be noteworthy"?

Well, given that stunning list of zero opportunity costs, I'm sure forced to reconsider my stance. Very persuasive!

> I really hate the idea that AI can replace artists, or humans as a whole. I think it’s anti-human to its core. I've never understood this idea that art is some special, unique do…

Accuse the enemy of propaganda; insist there's plenty of evidence without linking a single source... Have you considered maybe reading this comment out loud in front of a mirror?

The problem is, "dozens of mathematicians have independently confirmed this, and no one in the community has made any credible objections" is actually a much more reliable source t…

Like kgwgk already said - people post the occasional horror story where they run up a huge AWS bill, either due to a run-away process or getting hacked. It seems to almost always b…

Realtime billing seems entirely within the abilities of AWS. "Limits except for Storage" seems even easier - I don't think I've ever heard of a storage-based billing story, althoug…

Already real: Automated scams & deepfake pornography. You can deepfake a real time video call to look and sound like someone else. If you're used to entering passwords this is easy…

Curious, what revolutionary products would you cite, that existed within 4 years of the underlying technology? I feel like within that time frame, you're looking at "AOL chatrooms"…

Thus why no one has 4 years of experience yet, yeah.

I guess we better go ban swimming pools: they kill people! people drown in them. What possible counter-argument can you offer to that?

It's hardly "changing the subject" to try and establish whether this is actually a proportional effort. Your concern should, in fact, be relative to the harm something does. A sing…

Oh yeah, nothing complex about a compiler, that only takes 4 years of college to understand. That's soooo much simpler than typing "make me a Tetris clone". Literally no one has 4 …

You might find it enlightening to look at the power draw and environmental impact of other technologies, for a sense of scale. LLMs didn't even exist when we started expressing con…

I don't think one could have reasonably turned the tide on agriculture, factories, railroads, or electricity - and a smart person would presumably have seen a lot of the benefits y…

The neckbeards that wrote C did so precisely because they saw how C was a better way to get things done, and they were probably the first people to start using compilers, because, …

Coders needing compilers is a hit on coding because it means coding can't be extended a lot? I'm just not following the logic at all. We build vastly more ambitious software today …

I mean, if you actually understood the scale of AI power usage, it would make sense. A TV can run 200 watts/hour, so this is equivalent to... watching TV? Or, perhaps, watching TV …

"We wrap LLMs in Agent harnesses because AI isn’t enough." This feels equivalent to saying you're not a real coder if you need a compiler to hold your hand. What, a human coder isn…

I've got a harness that lets them play a few simple games like rock paper scissors. They definitely seem to get caught up in the competitive spirit. I've also done a very truncated…

Can we at least get a text description? The linked video doesn't want to provide one either.

Switch to Brother laser jet printers - I hear about them every time HP comes up, I've had mine for years, it is a lovely solution Tons of people switched from IE6 to Chrome; IE is …
