I keep hearing we don’t know “how llm’s work”, in mean yes we know the algorithms but the WHY I suppose. I’m not sure if that’s really true, does the best researcher at OpenAI, Ant…

If you miss it, maybe she does too. You can still do it even though she doesn’t need it

This is just human behaviour though. We're wired for "a lot of people who do X, also do Y". "this person does X, therefore they must do Y". Obviously, not all brown things are cows…

we first need to agree the definition of consciousness, before we can start trying to attribute it to various animals and machines.

yes and it's not just the end product, it's the process. China has built almost entirely automated car factories. They're already 10+ years ahead of what's happening in the US/Euro…

Totally agree, this protectionism killed the Australian car industry because eventually you just can’t compete.

That's aweful, only senators should be allowed to do that!

it's a solution looking for a problem and google are desperate to stay relevant there. We just don't need to search as much. But I _do_ still want to search sometimes, it's still a…

the thing that bothers me is I don't usually want this mode. When I search, I am not looking for what google thinks, I am looking for what other sources think.

can you share that prompt?

this seems disingenuous. even if your premise is true (which i don't think it is), it only really holds for the first few endpoints. most systems have many, and the models are very…

let's say aliens land. we learn to talk to them. they're super smart - smarter than us. would we say they're conscious? why? because they're organic. I think that's the root of the…

In less than 10 years there’s going to be millions of bipedal robots everywhere, doing all sorts of chores for us. They’re going to need hands.

no it's not, it's always work hours somewhere

that's true in every country.

Book an appointment with a Psychiatrist, it’ll cost more than a months cc subscription for sure

Croes, is that you?

AI would have a least worded your comment better

train on my private code? jokes on them

is the ASCII animation native to the project or is it using some library?

Opus 4.6 is so much better at building complex systems than 4.5 it's ridiculous.

same things as the old, "what's heavier, a tonne of coal or a tonne of feathers". many, many people will say a ton a coal...

you pay them, isn't that already enough to identify any non-fraudulent account is needed?

there's a fair argument to make that a nation that drops a nuclear bomb on a city isn't "civilized"

Reddit is significantly more popular/successful than HN even for tech. HN is its own little world and that’s fine.
