Which pictures are you missing? I see three stills from the Bladerunner intro sequence, and two embedded videos of it.

What makes it so token hungry? Is she directly using the LLM for genome analysis rather then having it write the data analysis algos?

In your experience, would you say that your communication has become more precise? Reflecting on it now, I believe that metaphors and idioms can help a lot for communicating intuitively and they can convey a lot of information. But at the s

That's a very good question that I also don't have an answer to (yet). But I believe part of the reason for that is that were currently still in the middle of this shift, so there's issues of both knowledge about AI and how p

They are most likely not based in the US, but converting to USD to make comparison easier.

Seems like for such requests it's necessary to get some proof of work: require a meeting where for every artifact they sent you to review, they briefly explain the gist and point out the motivation for creating the artifact.

Agreed. It seems a core issue underlying these prompt injection attacks is a failure to properly scope the agent's permissions. In this case, depending on what exactly the agent is supposed to actually do, this might be defining a sepa

I agree with the basic premise: that when using LLMs, they will tend towards some mean when resolving ambiguity. There's a very interesting opportunity here for a deeper investigation. - What does "regression to the mean" act

I'm sure there's plenty of writing in the above style to be found on the Internet, and hence having been trained on by the LLM. I'm also not a fan of this style, and in particular I'd say it's rarely or never found

Oh, that's a very interesting hypothesis! Not sure about taking it down to the level of consciousness, but makes sense regarding the sense of self, the conceptual experiencer, the perceived center of experience. It agrees well with the

I don't think that's weird at all. Even if we know it's a machine we're interacting with, since the instructions we give are so similar in form to how we interact with people, I'd be very surprised if those interact

I agree. Don't have a citation now, but I remember reading that this was a copyright problem. They wanted to name it "Linux Subsystem for Windows", but apparently the Linux foundation does not allow unaffiliated projects to h

Maybe you are saying the same thing, but couldn't that be explained better by those people being afraid to be made obsolete? Or at least, afraid if having to retrain?

Not sure about the underlying reason, but I use Windows for work and the only program I've encountered in the past two years with this behavior is the Eclipse IDE. Everything else deals very well with rescaling and docking / undoc

Two years ago I did some cleaning up and finally sorted out the gaming PC from my youth. I believe I bought it around 2007. Ran some old AMD dual core (may have been an Athlon 64 4400), still had an HDD. Installed on it was Windows Vista, w

My guess would be yes, it's cultural. I'm not Indian but spent about 5 months there. Overall my impression was that people act much more on direct feedback. It would be typical to do the first thing that comes to mind, then see wh

Connecting train doesn't mean that it runs on the same tracks. The train stations where you would switch tend to have ~6 to ~20 different platforms.
