There have been instances of mass unemployment without mass violence, sure. But are you sure you want to see how it plays out in a country with >1.2 guns per capita?

If it does come to pass, the AI version of the Big Short will be wildly entertaining

It's common practice to release a detailed system card (OP) and a high level summary: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5 It's okay if you're not the target audience for o…

The AI breached containment! Flip the breakers! It's too late. It already exfiltrated the benchmark rubric. Cut to pandemonium on the streets

The main reasons I'll never get a neural chip are, in increasing order of importance: A. Safety B. It gives them a vector to beam ads directly into my brain

How many tracks didn't make it to the Billboard charts?

And yet here we are

I think the illuminating part here is that only a magic wand could determine if something is sentient

Isn't that usually the choice for most things?

That's a good point, and maybe I was preaching the gospel of flipping too hard. It is by no means a silver bullet. Should we let the kids who cheat using AI drop by the wayside, ne…

Hackernews is not the place for political arguments. That's not just a suggestion, it's a rule. I noticed somebody used an ambiguous word in a way that, IMO, was not quite correct,…

I think you misinterpreted my comment as "LLMs are good" which is a different conversation. My point is: you can't say LLMs are a dangerous tool and call them vapourware at the sam…

This places her on a spectrum where the farthest left you can go is the most left leaning US Democratic senator, which is not very "progressive" in the context of western politics …

In western politics, there are various definitions of the word "progressive". The definitions that include Kamala Harris are mostly used by right-wing Americans. How much corporate…
