I've seen people using "chat" to refer to ChatGPT because it's easier/simpler. I'm pretty sure an average person has no idea that chat.com will redirect you to chatgpt.com (or what a redirect is for that matter). It's similar to how people were calling the COVID-19 pandemic or the virus itself "covid".
people in the industry, especially those who work for oai, refer to it as "chat" at least in the ai industry, chat is like kleenex
> Most security researchers lack Meta's history: [...] Why would you assume that security researchers don't know about these? If anything, wouldn't all the bad press and scandals make WhatsApp a more likely target of scrutiny? > And most importantly, most security researchers lack the money and power to fend off the legal consequences of these acts. Yes, security research is generally expensive, but do you have any e…
I meant to say that most researchers have engaged in the unethical actions that Meta has. It's not that Meta is making it harder to report them but the fact that reporting them does not meaningfully disincentivise Meta from carrying on with their unethical behaviour (i.e. it is not an effective deterrent).
Being unethical is, for better or worse, not automatically illegal. Saying that your product provides end-to-end encryption and you can't access message content and then intentionally shipping a backdoor (for your own benefit and not, say, that of a government that compels you to do this) would very likely be.
Its fine if he trusts the right experts. And its not really hard to at least understand one point: We are putting the most amount of money ever into compute and the smartest people on the planet on one topic: AGI and we see progress every month. If you don't take this serious, even if we hit a hard plateu very fast (not seeing one at all) you are ignorant as hell. You don't go to bed without a worry in the world if y…
What if he trusts the wrong experts? And who decides which expert is right and which is wrong?
It only becomes a problem if the actions you take, are a one way street and net negative.
I for sure take AGI serious enough for my job, that I will not take out a big loan anymore.
But there are also indications right? If a lot of smart people say similiar things and they are wrong, thats a lot better to have trusted them than believing some weirdo with a sign "Aliens are coming".
Former meta prick, sorry employee: > Meta's strategy Meta has no strategy. The people that made llama work left two years ago. MSI are a bunch of charlatans who are trying to change the culutre and tooling of meta from the outside (I can see their point, trying to work outside of the defaults is incredibly hard.) its basically a bun fight, with all of your productive workers being poached by frontier labs, and everyo…
Meta certainly do give the impression that they are burning through ridiculous amounts of cash with not much to show for it, and thats just from the outside.
How is it a bad thing if a company goes all in on burning cash but at the time have never reported a net loss quarter since its IPO? Its their money to burn at this point who cares
I think Meta's strategy is to capture the 'normie-tier' of AI users. I know most of us here on HN track model releases quite frequently and discuss every parameter weight out of them, but most of the world is just... oblivious? I was discussing latest in tech with an accounting friend out of curiosity, and I kept talking about tiers of GPT-5.6 (Sol vs Terra vs Luna) and asked which one she used on the desktop 'Work'…
I dunno what the correct level of abstraction is for LLMs to achieve the type of widespread adoption you’re referring to but I can guarantee it sits above the name of the model. If you have to possess that level of knowledge you ain’t gonna use it. Google achieved mainstream success for a reason. People don’t want to know how the sausage is made.
But who is going to trust Facebook/Meta with everything? Even my parents are wary of their products. I can't see a personal assistant coming from them and being successful.
If this is still not obvious to you, most people don't care about privacy. You and your parents are outliers.
Not obvious from our discussions with friends or even from videos on youtube about everyone wondering how they are ad tracked.
They care but then it has been made very difficult to find privacy preserving services. Or convenience takes over.
It is like replaceable batteries. Everyone cares but we are not given the choice.
Or the headphone jack...
I think it is different here. First it is easy to build. Second that is too much information that should remain private.
Yes! Though I mainly use it for one-shotting full files, so I'm not copying over small diffs. I did try copilot at some point in vscode, but after a week or so I felt like it was slowing me down. Something I knew would be a simple and quick change was now slow since I didn't have enough ownership of the code to do it quickly myself, and prompting for the change took longer than changing it manually if I had had full…
That's what I used to do (copy and paste from web ui and with copilot in my code editor).
I started using claude code a couple of months ago and now almost exclusively use it. My workflow is mostly creating a md file describing what I want then telling claude code to look at it and implement it. I simply use the default model 95% of the time.
