It comes up because people are mistakenly conflating consciousness with moral personhood. People want to be talking about whether AI suffers in a morally meaningful way. In non-hum…

You're going to make life much harder for yourself, not easier, because you'll still need German legal advice but now you need an expensive multi-national lawyer/firm. Anyone cheap…

Just keeping a lockfile and updating it weekly works fine for that too yeah

Maintainers need to keep a wall between the package publishing and public repos. Currently what people are doing is configuring the public repo as a Trusted Publisher directly. Thi…

The corruptions of this administration are legion, but this isn't one of them. Unless you can point to something Lutnick did to create this outcome, I don't see how he had a better…

Government's free to not like the terms and go with another provider. That's whatever. Government's not free to say, "We'll blow up your business with a false accusation if you don…

If you think a blue government would even consider threatening to falsely accuse a company of being a supply-chain threat in order to gain leverage in a contract negotiation, you'r…

The actions of the US government here are openly corrupt. The point of the supply chain risk provisions is to denote, you know, supply chain risks. The intention is not to give the…

I don't understand how any sort of deal is defensible in the circumstances. Government: "Anthropic, let us do whatever we want" Anthropic: "We have some minimal conditions." Govern…

You should quit because the only reasonable thing for your leadership to have done is to refuse to sign any agreement with DoW whatsoever while it's attempting to strongarm Anthrop…

If I were a CTO or VP these days I think I'd push for a blanket ban on committing docs/readmes/diagrams etc along with the initial work. Teams can push stuff to a `slop/` folder bu…

Well, if you take "review the LLM output" in its most general way, I guess you can class everything under that. But I think it's worth talking about the problem in a bit more detai…

I think LLMs are net helpful if used well, but there's also a big problem with them in workplaces that needs to be called out. It's really easy to use LLMs to shift work onto other…

Software to date has been a [Jevons good]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox ). Demand for software has been constrained by the cost efficiency and risk of software proj…

This has been discussed to death but to reiterate here: people have been much too polite about Kramnick's nonsense. Danya and Hikaru are (were) probably the two people in the world…

In Europe there are legitimate and extremely established services that require you to input your bank login details into something other than your bank's website. It's madness.

What is "real reasoning"? The mechanism that the models use is well described. They do what they do. What is this article's complaint?

It's interesting that there's still such a market for this sort of take. > In a recent pre-print paper, researchers from the University of Arizona summarize this existing work as "…

Like a backup generator for inputs. Makes sense.
