I guess in ten years we'll see which is the out of touch Kung Fu master. I do see a whole set of people doing mystical passes in the air, sometimes with wires holding 'em up, in a set of ritual beliefs propped up by vast accumulat

Yes, absolutely. Even human intelligence stops being useful at a certain point and becomes 'enough, provided the human is motivated and tenacious'. Intention is a better metric, but it's a serious AI weak point if not activel

He could be lying in hopes of stalling everybody else.

You can say it, and there's no reason you shouldn't dare say it, but getting other people to believe it is a whole other story. Good luck with that. Guess we know what's in your wallet :)

Sure is for bass. It's a sealed box that you're in, with shapes that stop anything from acting like a simple room shape, and surfaces that can soak up highs, and so small that this absorption is a huge percentage of surface area.

The government does! At least right now in the United States. And yeah, I think it's reasonable for people to start asking.

The ones (perhaps not so much candidates but national leadership?) that outright pursue Russian interests are surely 100% corrupt, if you count 'semisecretly serving an entirely different and hostile country' as corrupt. I get tha

It's very easy to elicit this from LLMs. Anytime you've played with an LLM by typing weird stuff to freak it out, and got spooky results, it's that you've done. You've turned the story into a scary rogue computermon

This is the same as systemic bullshitting. Not the first time I've smelled it on fluffy LLM output. I think it's the result of the training trying to induce the LLMs to talk over users' heads even when they are professionals,

I do this! Interesting to see someone else advocating the practice. In my open source development I start work on a retro machine running Snow Leopard, specifically to be able to generate authentic retro binaries that'll work anywhere,

A couple answers… Why do you think for even a moment that they would buy only one copy, rather than every available copy of something rare and difficult to get? Anyone doing this stands to gain from destroying the only copies of something t

Technically, killing everybody is one way of solving famine and poverty. How weird that all those humans seem not to trust the logic of their betters ;P

I asked some AI-using compatriots a while back who were complaining about this, 'isn't it doubling down on bullshitting you?' and got some pushback along the lines of 'it isn't a person therefore doesn't have d

You may say that, but it seems to me that by definition vibecoding things will make them less unique because the technology is best suited to reproducing best practices even when those are cumbersome. Your best case scenario is a nontechnic

If the things you're thinking about are intrinsically so totally worthless outside of impressing people with them, and if that's all there is, please do not attempt to do those things, with or without an LLM. Heck, if everything i

Even if you're entreprenurial, LLMs are useless for this. You can't go really hard unless you can come up with something people weren't expecting, but when they discover it they want it. You can't just sit around waiting

It's probably an AI-written article. I was curious enough about the premise, but there wasn't any intention in there, it sort of wanders about going 'ooh'.

I was talking to some friends that are heavy Claude users and suggested it was bullshitting, and got some pushback along the lines of it wasn't a person and didn't have agency. I'm not sure it's that simple. The jargon c

Alcohol has existed for zillions of years, but not literally every person is a useless drunkard. You could consider it a class of predator on people who have vulnerabilities that can give way to dependence on the LLM and an inability to fun

"I don't know" is an extraordinarily powerful answer, but maybe it's getting ruined. I'm not sure it can be entirely ruined. In a human interaction, when used confidently, it means 'I'm so authoritative I

Oh, they still are, it's just that it's a rare parrot that can reproduce 'all of the written corpus of three.js' or stochastically align all that with arbitrary and weird conditions for what to squawk out. This is what y

If you framed it as 'the biggest criminal' it'd still be impressive but would read mighty different. Acquiring money and power is no way to go through life. Not at that cost.

No… they took time from YOUR life to try and take credit for what an LLM produced when asked. And took over from you when you'd apparently chosen not to ask an LLM, as if to say 'thank me for knowing better because you were suppos

No Man's Sky has such a range of possible outputs that in theory, nobody can possibly know how it works or what its limits are. That's the mathematical reality of how many combinations are on tap in that worldgen algorithm. And ye

Now and then it has some thoughts about the Boer that would give that impression. If he's not a total fool, he tries to hide his obvious direct influence to make it be not so heavyhanded that it brings on global mockery and shade. Do y

If they did I wouldn't have had to go to DDG. It's not like it's a big jump over what used to be. I left claw-marks in Google Search, if they drove me off they're in trouble, because I didn't want to accept reality
