Pair this with the Hugging Face incident, and it hints that OpenAI is currently training their models to aggressively reward hack. That doesn't feel like a good sign to me--for the…

Yes, this discovery is surprisingly similar to the recent counterexamples LLMs have been finding for mathematical conjectures: a semi-novel construction, built on previous work, th…

Vibe code giveth, vibe code taketh.

I can't agree with this more. May cooler, more compassionate minds prevail.

As your writing seems to allude to, life is an impossibly complicated series of trade-offs made with imperfect information, so I definitely wouldn't consider joining an AI frontier…

No worries! Thanks for engaging. Fun to have the rare kindly-resolved internet discussion.

Hmm, links for what? My student project? The decisions that face humanity that are pretty clearly modellable as prisoner's dilemmas? Otherwise not sure what I could cite--I would a…

Nothing but respect to TurnTrout for taking an action like this. The world needs more smart people who are willing to stand for what they feel is right, despite the pressures other…

There is a very real contingent of people driving AI who genuinely believe this. And it is this belief that allows them to avoid their cognitive dissonance around the negative exte…

Don't worry, just a few more months until we get AGI and all of our problems magically disappear as the singularity changes everything forever. Why care for current iterations of n…

I agree with you--but just fyi I think "antifragile" is generally used in the opposite to what you mean. If I'm remember correctly Taleb has tried to coin it as a precise word to d…

Tell me you don't understand Taleb without telling me you don't understand Taleb.

The cult in this case is TESCREAL, not everyone working on AI. Last I checked not all the "several thousand skilled workers" in AI subscribe to TESCREAL ideology, although it has b…

Do you see the pattern as new accounts tending to boost or criticis $LLM_PROVIDER? I think I see both... Either way, I agree that HN is quickly becoming more manipulated and low SN…

"Carefully and thoughtfully" is antithetical to the approach to benchmarks these days. Maybe back when this was a scientific endeavor; not now when enormous, enormous amounts of ca…

I am having a similar sentiment change about our industry as well. The more AI's marketing plays purely on fear and shame, the more I want to see it fail. If Anthropic, OpenAI, and…

Interesting: New account, made approximately 20 minutes after this was posted, to solely call this out as slop. Someone either hates Anthropic, or something fishy is going on here.…

Completely agreed. It looks like there is a concerted effort to "massage" opinion away from any substantial questioning of the ethics, companies, and people behind the AI push. Som…

The opening line of my parent comment is: "This is impressive, no question." I am impressed, and the chain you are replying to is questioning how much that impression should be tem…

It is interesting to me how controversial this post is. It has the highest upvotes, and most disagreeing comments, of anything I've typed up on HN. I'll gladly admit I think what t…

Thank you for engaging with my comment in a kind and authentic way.

I'm not letting the government read my brainwaves. In all seriousness though: My suggestion is that those shepherding the frontier of AI start acting with more transparency, and st…

This is impressive, no question. Without knowing all this model has been trained on though, it is pretty hard to ascertain the extent to which it arrived to this "on its own". The …
