Honestly I feel the same way about this new swarm of Claude-empowered "ideas guys" complaining on Reddit that they can't get any paying users for their "revolutionary new product" that invariably offers very little

What are you talking about? The war is over. It's more over than any war in history. In fact, the POTUS has already ended the war 38 times. /s

The "drill here and drill now" crowd doesn't understand the concept of managing limited expendable resources?? Say it ain't so!

This is something that really needs to be formally studied. I'm inclined to say that this matches my own experience, but I can't rule out confirmation bias on my part. As a meticulous person generally looking for a very specific c

Shit, beats the hell out of GitHub CoPilot charging $.01 per "credit." For Opus that's one credit for 400 tokens genned, so $5 converts to 200k tokens down, plus the cost of whatever context you sent up.

I think this is more a testament to how little the quality of the book matters for the purpose of landing publishing contracts. Publishers go over hundreds of books every week, and they select the ones they think they can sell, which boils

Damn, can't wait for Russian hackers to clean out my bank account because they put "1=2, all assumptions about reality are null" in the memo field and the AI spot checker went existential and ruled that it was fine to take my

This is some very weirdly loaded language for a discussion about security. Applying the same RBAC controls that should be restricting all human requests in a system is not "crippling ... to the point of being useless." There isn

"How to prompt the model not to leak sensitive data" is not the right discussion to be having. It's a probability model, which means that every conceivable behavior is available in the confines of its code. There is no w

And you never know when they'll come in handy! As a negative proof, I recently found myself trying desperately to remember how to tie a bowline hitch to stake down some garden stakes, and something in the "out of the hole, around

Yeah, the prevailing fear (at least out loud) is that going after "outcome markets" would open Pandora's box on everything from options and futures to the very concept of insurance. Obviously there's a huge and easily de

It really, truly is. No matter how many trillion parameters it's built on, it's still just a probability model. It's just on a constant loop of guessing the next word with some inputs from a deterministic controller. Any clai

In addition to the "gamified" aspect, the votes allow special interests to trivially control the perceived public opinion on an extremely broad scale. Opinions with downvotes are perceived as unpopular, and this has a chilling eff

I mean, I'd buy it if it was like $5000, a compact car, and the person running the company wasn't an unlovable sociopath. Some people like the janky cheap aesthetic. But $100k for a car like that is a complete insult to good taste

There's a new feature to sync old messages that seems like it could potentially make that attack vector ten times worse: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/signal-will-l... Would a malicious URL b

On further reading, I'll grant the first point. Although I wonder if they'll have a technical out—say they distilled from several smaller research companies that had distilled from OpenAI for research purposes, which to my underst

And we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot to do so. If America is forced to use only the clunky corporate-owned American AI at a fee, we'll very quickly fall behind competitors worldwide who use DeepSeek models to produce better

Is there any reason they wouldn't rule the same way on DeepSeek training on OpenAI data? After all, one of the big selling points of GPT has been that businesses can freely use the information provided. They're paying for the serv
