    I'm also a fan of the Yamanote Line. I made a psychedelic AI audio-visual collage inspired by it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwUSzUvShqcaa I made field recordings during my la…

    I don't think it's correct that we destroyed everything that isn't us. If we take all living beings, we have destroyed only a small percentage.

    Why is privacy a concern? You can run them in your own infrastructure

    I have done quite a bit of game dev with LLMs and have very rarely run into the problem you mention. I've been surprised by how easily LLMs will create even harmful narratives if I…

    The rest was fine without citations, but the part you disagree with needs them?

    I have the impression that the thinking helps even if the actual content of the thinking output is nonsense. It awards more cycles to the model to think about the problem.

    I use AI to simplify code. My manifesto has always been code is debt. Works really well too.

    I don't care that much. This level of knowledge about me can also be easily found on the internet. I'm also working almost entirely on open-source software so I'm happy if the AIs …

    But aren't they getting this data already at a much larger scale? GPT is still one of the backbones in many coding assistants, even Windsurf.

    I'm pretty sure the model is cached with the system prompt already processed. So you should only pay extra tokens.

    "I cannot emphasize this enough: ChatGPT is not generating meaning. It is arranging word patterns. I could tell GPT to add in an anomaly for the 1970s - like the girl looking at Bi…

    It always feels like people are irrationally critical of AI assisted stuff. Does the typical Hacker News comment have more substance? - Informally benchmarked against 4 specific co…

    Why sorry? So what? I often write things I want to post in bullets and then have it formulated better than I could by an LLM. But its just applying a style. The content comes from …

    It feels like we've been moving in the opposite direction, where more and more models from various countries are state-of-the-art. The idea that there will be one model to rule the…

    Sure. You can always write more tests. That's not a problem specific to AI. I'd also do code reviews on the code AI produces.

    Comment #42522803

    Why not write tests with AI, too? Since using LLMs as coding assistants, my codebases have much more thorough documentation, testing and code coverage. Don't start when you're alre…
