    It's 90% to advance science via cheap labor and 10% to train a small group of future experts who will hire grad students to 90% advance science via cheap labor etc. ...

    Which part of it is highly technical or jargon loaded?

    "I am not confused. Because herein these forums, I predicted everything that was going to happen years ago." I mean, lol.

    It was also about 10x longer than it had to be because an LLM was heavily involved in its writing.

    Either HN has become much more accepting of LLM-generated content or it can't tell the difference. Still, it was a decent skim. These models are fairly smart; I wouldn't say they a…

    I actually find it funny the downvoters can't tell this was definitely LLM-assisted writing. I'll admit it's more subtle than usual and the writer put some real work in (it wasn't …

    Journalists used to decry the use of LLMs. Now they use it freely to write their own articles.

    It's not different- there's a line of research and reasoning where people who don't use LLM's regularly point out issues that have been known (and more or less solved) for more tha…

    It's like people who expect ChatGPT to be really good at chess because chess engines with super-human performance have been around for decades, so obviously the latest frontier LLM…

    Ah yeah, it probably is. I noticed I guess the more subtle LLMisms earlier on. I stopped reading fairly early on when I noticed I was wasting my time reading a long AI slop article…

    Yep, clearly LLM assisted writing. It was likely prompted in stages, not one shot with a single prompt. I'm surprised you are basically the only one to notice. It seems most people…

    Not a Nobel prize winner (his advisor was though), but Stephen Hsu was a fairly high profile case. I remember watching a 2008 Google lecture of his on YouTube in 2019 and wondering…

    I don't see much point in continuing this thread. You're fixated on defending the poster's level-headed criticism of AI in music. I'm addressing a much more specific point- that de…

    I didn't say there was anything to fix (I didn't use that word). The poster I replied to is free to dislike AI on principle. I'm just pointing out that his dislike of AI is in fact…

    This is obviously "hating AI music on principle". Your last sentence means that there is literally nothing Suno can produce to change your mind. Not hating it on principle would be…

    Does Anthropic claim that Claude's conscious? Isn't the argument more that we don't know? I recently rewatched "Measure of a Man" in Star Trek TNG and Picard's closing argument in …

    Implicit in this article is that consciousness has to look like human consciousness. The author all but admits that he cannot fathom consciousness evolving in any manner besides ho…

    Yes, I disabled all smart features. I'm surprised anyone here (or the type who bothers customizing their inbox layout) finds the Primary/Social/Promotions split useful. The origina…

    I found the blog post a bit annoying because it was clearly trying to win internet points rather than actually solve a problem. What you wrote above would have resolved the issue i…

    I'm just curious- how many of you changed your portfolio allocation last April because "obviously" the Trump tariffs would tank the market? If you had similar thoughts when TSLA jo…

    This sounds like a fantasy in your head rather than something that actually happened. No competent VC would give meaningless feedback like this- if it's good, it's good; who cares …

    The use Armin wants for clanker doesn't work because it is already widely being used as a derogatory term for LLMs. Co-opting the term back to the more neutral use he wants is a lo…
