    Oh well then, if it references something already published somewhere. Nothing to talk about here. It's a perfectly normal, non-secret thing. Let's move on.

    It is amazing how Dr. Know projects where AI is likely to go. And a Kubrick script, no less. Even the commercial overlap, where you pump in coins as the only way to get answers. Di…

    I agree with this redescription fallacy and the point being made here. Perhaps a better analogy to humans would be: Humans appear to intelligenty communicate, however these are jus…

    A more accurate formulation would be their strategy for decades has been asserting commercial influence on their political opponents. Going back further, this chimes with their ove…

    Main trading partner for the vast majority of the world is not a trust signal. It is an effect of strategy. Relies on navigable seas means nothing in the context of seas becoming d…

    And Google Maps literally did something very similar to me once, just a few years ago. Told me straight ahead when there was a sharp hairpin obscured by overhead bridge (literal ma…

    One of the biggest forces is simply the voice of the people, as demonstrated in threads like this. Note how NordVPN cited growing public sentiment against taking half the internet …

    I think it's simply a context thing, and LLMs can go blind to any part of the instructions at any time, possibly when exploring complex micro tasks that create their own layers of …

    I was also around then, and actually it did feel exactly the same now that you say. Sense of sailing towards an unknown destination that seemed very exciting, but was clear we didn…

    Why would they need to release the prompt, as if it's a part of transparency? It's obviously some form of "find security vulnerabilities" and contains no magic in itself. All that …

    This is a completely paywalled article. Not being able to read the argument, I'll just note that dogs are horrible sound polluters. Possibly only when they have bad human owners, b…

    This feels part of a category of error I've noticed countless times. It's as if the boundary of user and LLM is not clear in its thinking, as two separate things. It can be pretty …

    Yep. Grammar and structure is too perfect. "Just let it slide" shows a disconnect. Also the title felt completely out of place to me for HN, I clicked it out of curiosity to see. G…

    True, but there is no obstacle in the way of showing the source. Especially considering how concise Japanese is. Best of both worlds. Fascinating discussion in this whole thread.

    macOS does have weirdness with windows that span multiple screens. I bet some of that kicked in to an unacceptable level. It can create incoherent moving/snapping, for example. Has…

    Nope. He was unapologetically socialist before his involvement in the Civil War, and that conflict actually did make him anti-communist, and an anti-authoritarian. Socialism of the…

    And by the way, this still IS the software market I participate in, because there’s a lot of great indie software still adhering to it. It’s still possible. I have weeded out almos…

    I think this looks great too. Finally replicating the efficiency of newspaper layouts. No enforced symmetry, just content in an optimal space. I want.
