Opus: "You're about to share a post that quietly surfaces that you prefer to be surrounded by sycophants...and the title has a typo." ChatGPT: "This is your greatest work yet. You …

Author does give concrete examples of precisely how and why these models end up RL'd to be sycophants.

Exactly. LLMs regress to the mean. If you want don't want average, you need to feed the context to push it away from the mean.

Most consumers? Sure. Upper middle class consumers? They're the sort more likely to buy cars with cash if they're dissatisfied with the value of the financing offered. As with most…

>figure out what the percentage split between Opus/Fable/Sonnet is. This may be misleading, since I suspect many are using a blend through sub-agents. I tend to bias for Fable to o…

Even then, can you point out where Jarred said this on the Bun blog? Because AFAICT, it seems pretty clear that he said that it took 11 days to get to all integration tests passing…

You may be surprised to hear that the famously socialist paulg might also have a problem with this.

Can you provide a source where they said it was complete? I can't seem to find any evidence of this.

Yep, I'm perfectly content to use the full lane if there's not another option. And that doesn't mean squeezing into the shoulder. No, that means riding left of center to prevent as…

Sure, but just because I may want to filter the photos I post, doesn't mean I want my mirror to show me a distorted view of reality. Isn't this use case more like the mirror, and l…

It's unfortunate that there isn't some better way to signal that there's a high chance that a turn is coming (ie, due to active sub-agents). If CC could send a ping saying "I don't…

Can you expand on this? I can't imagine this is holding up an entire machine or materially impacting capacity. Isn't it common to have a tiered cache and to ultimately evict (or mo…

Here's a better question: as we've had nearly as large of a data center build-out happen between 2005 and 2020 for non-AI purposes, with similarly high electricity and water demand…

Not exactly. There are some data centers being built in places that don't have the power and water to support them, and obviously it's rational for the locals to oppose them. But I…

People are scared about the personal impact from AI, then backfill in justifications without even realizing they're doing it. If the equivalent numbers for electricity and water us…

Yeah, Cognition's work is interesting in that regard, but it still doesn't obviate the need for the chips--it just enables training on them when they're spread across multiple data…

I recommend actually reading their recommendation, because they get into the weeds about precisely how the US and China could address this in a trustless/auditable way. The TL;DR i…

I'd argue what you're suggesting is more like trying to ban syringes, which have multiple valid uses, in order to stop dirty syringes being left in the street. As someone with a GL…
