Did you take the Full Self Driving bets, too?

Yeah, I bought it in 2018 with full knowledge that it would be many years before it worked at all. Today I used it for more than an hour around town. It's amazing. I won't buy any car without an equivalent feature in the future. And today there's nothing equivalent in any other car you can buy.

With all of the videos circulating online of the Tesla self-driving getting itself into extremely dangerous situations (like increasing speed once a child appears on the road), I'm not really sure that their self-driving tech is there yet

Interesting. Thai characters can also blow it out, I imagine because of the difficulty mapping glyphs to width: https://biztos.com/hey/thai-mermaid-chart.png To my surprise, Sublime Text gets it almost right: https://biztos.com/hey/sublime-thai-mermaid.png I tried finding a Thai monospace font and using that in the HTML but it was worse, probably didn't have the box drawing chars. Still a fun tool and useful for lots…

The first issue is due to the assumption that character count equals character display width. Thai tone markers usually[1] should not contribute to the display width (เพื่อน is chars = 6, width = 4), so it caused a layout shift. The second issue is due to the program's layout engine not adjusting the glyph width of a fallback font to that of the main font. A lot of terminals do this, but it's not common for text edit…

That test looks pixel perfect in Chrome Android.

While I'm sure most of them will die, there will certainly be 1 or 2 that the community rallies behind

Why when they can just fork it and improve it on their own with AI?

why spend my tokens on it if someone else already did?

oh, we're just making shit up now because we don't like a company.. ok then.

Which part of that is made up?

the part where you claim they could “prevent this”, and imply it would be trivial.

Generative AI, famously, has difficult guardrails and there are constant “jailbreaks”.

I guess you mean that they could have been overzealous with the prevention of all “spicy” content to prevent this, but I don’t think thats even as true as you claim.

Alright I’ll bite. Why do harnesses require so much code?

Because a harness doesn't just "drive" the LLM. e.g., there's code in claude code that detects if the user's prompt shows they're angry, and they react to those prompts differently. (they use regex on "wtf", etc.!)

That doesn't sound like it would require a lot of code.

No need to believe, just look at the facts.

Ok done. Still don't believe it cuz the facts don't support it. It's interesting to see how far people attempt to stretch the facts tho.

He publicly and financially supported literal fascists in Germany. Nothing can be more blatant than that. QED.

Another tactical move is to just stop. You're allowed to exit the AI business. Nobody's forcing you to keep throwing money into the furnace. Just be a rocket company. All of the xAI founders left. Your product's brand name is mud. Just stop doing that and build spaceships.

Now that SpaceX is public, at a valuation that is both very high and supported primarily by xAI (Grok), it cannot simply go back to making rockets.

Citation needed.

What was the relative value of the companies before the merge?

You're the one wanting to generate that though

No other model is so easy to generate such things. No model is so negligent in adding safeguards. I've seen it generate such things in response to a post that was clearly labeled as a 4th grader. The person you are talking to is responding to instances like that. They're not asking for it, that's obnoxiously silly and disingenuous.

Sounds like you've tried generating such things. You've seen things people wouldn't believe. Inappropriate AI images off the shoulder of Orion, etc.

Now the counter-weight over-compensation. Insisting the tool "doesn't have enough safeguards". Could it be that our AI usage innocence is related to how much we criticise the tool for not policing us enough?

Meanwhile the rest of us have never seen such images because we're not looking for those images, or trying to prompt for those images, or thinking about those images. How about the people using these tools take responsibility, rather than forcing colossal layers of safeguards on everything and everyone?
