I work at an intersection of tech, applied research, and science. Something I’ve noticed in collaboration that does occur is an increased confidence in people outside their domains to say things with conviction. I have people who have limit

Don’t forget Japan! There’s some great Japanese mechanical watches. I’m a fan of the Seiko spring drive movement.

How will this work against rehosted images on all the platforms people actually share photos from? It’s a good feature but many popular services apply metadata stripping and basic image adjustment before resharing. That seems like the place

It’s not that different than a lot of real world economies. Often paying for someone or something with better quality can reduce total costs. You have less failures, less mistakes, so on, so while the expertise or quality of the product is

So, you’re telling me I need to start a benchmark as a side gig to get a bunch of free compute. Astra please create a benchmark that’s favorable to your reasoning skills with a human interface but don’t make the score too attainable add som

That’s sort of, in my opinion, the power of agents that can assist in developing software. The parts that are deterministic are best baked into existing programming paradigms. In some cases it’s good to take the nondeterministic parts we tr

The underlying issue is really capital ownership, what classifies as capital, protections around it, and how much leverage capital provides on a society and democracy (that part being the most important, IMHO). Who owns the looms and what t

You don’t even have to go that far, recent Opus models are quite impressive.

It’s a management of management position I’d say. You’re not just managing AI, if you were already in a management or lead type role then now you’re managing people, the LLMs they manage, and any LLM you’re managing.

To play the devil’s advocate, some people and orgs that were highly inefficient that adopted it really could get massive productivity gains. A performance improvement is relative to some baseline, and that baseline for some may be a lot low

“Thinking” is just a guiding methodology to help iterations (between the initial prompt, results, and a mixture of harness back and forth to the LLM) converge on something sane in a massive parameter space. I like to think of it much like (

To some degree the defense just popped up because it’s part of the AI effect, at least in my opinion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect As computing systems become increasingly capable and encroach in our territo

There’s another issue where models and transparent wrappers around models that get exposed are shifting around often. Versioning is highly questionable, and not all closed models will be supported indefinitely… so determinism becomes highly

Well I don’t have any legal need to hire a lawyer or anything I would need a lawyer for. It’s a rather fast way to surface legal information and precedent. I don’t see how it’s any more depressing than Google diving on a topic you’re intere

I’ve been arguing against some LLMs about this point for a good hour and there’s a whole lot of linking intent to action where you can be liable if a court can prove it. Not that an LLM is legal gold but it’s the best thing I have to pass i

I’ve had a Phillips “atomic” alarm clock beside my bed for 23 years that just sets based on radio signal and auto restores if the power is lost, to which it has a backup 9v battery. There’s a time zone setting offset slider and a DST slider

To some degree even unintentionally this is all inevitable. I know this isn’t what you’re taking about, but it’s a similar line of thought. These models are consuming public free information, and they’re all also producing free public infor

I had a similar reaction with the language but also response times and language. It reminded me of a quote about Jon von Neumann from Edward Teller: "Von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of the

Marketing is just a proxy for the underlying goal: growing profit. So any evil done by marketing is driven by the pursuit of wealth. Greed underlies anything marketing does as a purer form of evil. There’s plenty of marketing out there that

Good question, I’m curious too. 911 services and cell providers come to mind, as well as subpoenaed data from law enforcement? Perhaps? Third party commercial entities like cell providers are collecting and sharing it out of necessity but I

I’m not sure all models will converge on your acceptance criteria. I’ve done quite a bit of varied agent based modeling and scientific modeling in that domain and just because you have some grounding to check against and some ideas on how y

My opinion is that it’s a defensive mechanism. I’ve seen it across experts in knowledge domains and my own. When you hear experts disagree it’s fine because it’s another human, when the LLM disagrees and provides an objective backing that’s
