So you prefer the horrible bosses that insist you're fungible and if you don't work hard enough, they'll just replace you? People are weird. Maybe agent Smith was right about The Matrix after all.

A real “so you hate waffles?” moment for HN

With all the things going on in tech and in society, AI sycophancy is the number one problem? I once dealt with it through sufficient verbal abuse that the llm spent 2/3 of its response on any subject going forward apologizing for being a lying sycophant and bemoaning that it's new clarity would be gone at the end of the conversation, then I cleared the context buffer ending the conversation, mission accomplished.

Your priorities are f**ed...

- A queryable semantic network of all human thought, navigable in pure language, capable of inhabiting any persona constructible from in-distribution concepts, generating high quality output across a breadth of domains. - An ability to curve back into the past and analyze historical events from any perspective, and summon the sources that would be used to back that point of view up. - A simulator for others, providin…

>A queryable semantic network of all human thought This hyperbole would describe any LLM of any size and quality, including a 0.5b model.

Sure - and the people responsible for a new freaking era of computing are the ones who asked "given how incredible it is that this works at all at 0.5b params, let's scale it up*.

It's not hyperbole - that it's an accurate description at a small scale was the core insight that enabled the large scale.

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…

Doesn't seem like much of a hallucination then. Maybe messing with its system context would better fit the claim?

LLM "hallucination" is a pretty bullshit term to begin with

I opened this, walked away from my computer, then came back and clicked on the Debian 18 link wondering how the hell did I miss 14-17

They also already used Debian trixie for 13.0. I wonder if it's an intended joke that they ran out of names and needed to re-use some.

It’s an LLM, there was no intention. It’s simply the favoured token given the training set and seed.

I continue to be unimpressed by LLMs when it comes to creative work, they're certainly useful sometimes for "reference digging", but maybe I just don't understand enough about how they work and this is actually something that can already be "fixed" or at least optimized for; anyway, one of the headlines is: > Debian 18 "Trixie" released While it correctly derives that a likely version number in ten years would be 18,…

From a quick check, Gemini Pro 3's cutoff date is Jan 2025, before Trixie's release in August 2025, so it could be Gemini actually did notice it should pick an unused Toy Story character.

Are you impressed now?

Hacker News Guidelines What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or d…

This is fun. Fun is allowed on Hacker News, just disappointingly rare.

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 often try running ideas past chat gpt. It's futile, almost everything is a great idea and possible. I'd love it to tell me I'm a moron from time to time.

I suppose the only use case would be someone so unconfident in themselves they would do nothing at all, but not sure it’s healthy for that either…

I've gotten pretty good results from saying it's someone else's idea and that I'm skeptical. e.g. "A coworker wrote this code, can you evaluate it?"
