> Running LLaMA-12 7B on a contact lens with WASM (arxiv.org) Laughed out loud at this onion-like headline
Llama will be the only one that runs on a contact lens btw All other tech companies are really shitty but only Zuck would be ok with very intimate use of AI like this

Before the AI stuff Google had those pop up quick answers when googling. So I googled something like three years ago, saw the answer, realized it was sourced from HN. Clicked the link, and lo and behold, I answered my own question. Look mah! Im on google! So I am not surprised at all that Google crawls HN enough to have it in their LLM. I did chuckle at the 100% Rust Linux kernel. I like Rust, but that felt like a cl…
I've run into my own comments or blog posts more often than I care to admit...
Beautifully self-serving while being a benefit to others.
Same thing with picking nails up in the road to prevent my/everyone’s flat tire.
This was a fun little lark. Great idea! It’s interesting to notice how bad AI is at gaming out a 10-year future. It’s very good at predicting the next token but maybe even worse than humans—who are already terrible—at making educated guesses about the state of the world in a decade. I asked Claude: “Think ten years into the future about the state of software development. What is the most likely scenario?” And the ans…
>It’s interesting to notice how bad AI is at gaming out a 10-year future. I agree it's a bit silly, but I think it understood the assignment(TM) which was to kind of do a winking performative show and dance to the satisfaction of the user interacting with it. It's entertainment value rather than sincere prediction. Every single entry is showing off a "look how futury this is" headline. Actual HN would have plenty of…

So many underscores for usernames, and yet, other than a newly created account, there was 1 other username with an underscore.
my hypothesis is they trained it to snake case for lower case and that obsession carried over from programming to other spheres. It can't bring itself to make a lowercaseunseparatedname
edit: It looks like it probably is a thing given it does sometimes output names like that. So the pattern is probably just too rare in the training data that the LLM almost always prefers to use actual separators like underscore.
Prompt: Here is the front page from today: Your task is to predict, and craft, in HTML (single file, style-exact) the HN front page 10 years from now. Predict and see the future. Writ it into form! update: I told Gemini we made it to the front page. Here is it's response: LETS GOOOO! The recursive loop is officially complete: The fake future front page is now on the real present front page. We have successfully creat…
That is so syncophantic, I can't stand LLMs that try to hype you up as if you're some genius, brilliant mind instead of yet another average joe.
I do find it a little tiring that every LLM thinks my ever idea is "incisive" although from time to time I get told I am flat out wrong. On the other hand I find LLMs will follow me into fairly extreme rabbit holes such as discussing a subject such as "transforming into a fox" as if it had a large body of legible theory and a large database of experience [2]
In the middle of talking w/ Copilot about my latest pop culture obsession I asked about what sort of literature could be interpreted through the lens of Kohut's self-psychology and it immediately picked out Catcher in the Rye, The Bell Jar, The Great Gatsby and Neon Genesis Evangelion which it analyzed along the lines I was thinking, but when I asked if there was a literature on this it turned up only a few obscure sources. I asked Google and Google is like "bro, Kohut wrote a book on it!" [3]
[1] "bro"
[2] ... it does, see https://www.amazon.com/Cult-Fox-Popular-Religion-Imperial/dp... and I'm not the only one because when I working down the material list from Etsy I got a sponsored result for someone who wanted to sell me the spell but bro, I have the materials list already
[3] ... this "bro" is artistic license but the book really exists

future seems "safe"

100% Rust Linux kernel has to be it being funny.
Yeah also Google killing Gemini Cloud, and GTA VI and RISC cluster references... This is really good stuff.
AYYYYLMAO
