So, has anyone at the frontier AI labs considered doing _good_ things with these models instead of continuously proving it is capable of doing malicious things? Instead of burning tokens doing intellectually impressive “hacks”, or sandbox e

Every time I read “could” my brain automatically also says “could not!” lol “hot beverages could _not_ cause oesophageal cancer” I know very hot beverages are group 2A probable carcinogen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Agreed, but am still scared. lol Have they considered using their amazing new models to... improve something? THere'd probably be a whole lot less anti-AI sentiment if they used these things to actually make people's lives better.

It extends well beyond creative stuff too. It makes me think of Gell-Man amnesia [1]. People can tell when something they are experts in is being done poorly, but others can't, and it frustrates the experts. Then, those same people thi

I agree. Whether or not it is what they are intending (I lean towards they are), IMO it has been strongly inferred in all the messaging from frontier models that it's impossible to secure software, which is just not true. In reality, i

yea that's kind of the crux in this whole mess we are in: It doesn't really matter how right or wrong anyone is... They are driving and we are along for the ride.

I think it's more about not doing unnecessary things. Like a like a saying I heard somewhere "a clever person solves a problem, a wise person avoids it". Not every good idea _needs_ to become a feature. And if you think it&#x

Agree 100. Most of my frustration with things in the world goes right to this IE it's the folks who design/administer it that I blame. Sure, the users and/or operators of any given system can find a way to use/operate t

I have often thought that without LLMs humanizing outputs they would not have caught on, even if they output the exact same data/answers. The way they answer is way more important than their output for success, IMO.

I’d say periodically now that I have it controlled. One of those instances was a dentists visit that I thought was solely due to improper measurement (wrist based, and they had me cross arms over my chest). But it was still high at home whe

I like this post as it landed at a really good time for me. But, I had a remaining question based on one of the lines: >So I’ve drawn a line. I only discuss pros and cons with smart people; I don’t argue right and wrong with ego-driven o

Yea. Just my observation, they are losing some pretty big markets in that region. It's pretty clear from going in the Kroger stores anywhere near an HEB that HEB is really hurting them. They are all empty (dystopian as the OP of thos t

Yep. And they don't charge much of a premium to deliver this. I can buy things at HEB and not worry about them being expired/etc, even for grocery pickup. Kroger, afaict, _chooses_ the expiring/broken stuff if you do grocery

Wow, amazing answer! I have a lot of reading and then thinking to do, but if you are documenting your research anywhere, I'd greatly appreciate somewhere to follow it. Thank you so much! This is why I love HN.

It is funny how I do believe this is true, but also can't help but notice how much effort they spend defeating this exact user base. Reminds me of ad companies... I'm sure they also don't care about targeting some fraction of
