I don't follow. If I'm a biologist interested in studying life, I can't study rhododendra and ignore the rest. I'd learn almost nothing about locomotion, digestion, sexual reproduction, et cetera. But that doesn't t

Hmm, I guess what I mean is- is there an empirical difference between how a model of intelligence is limited and how a model of language is? Something I can evaluate in a year and say "Oh, the evidence still points to the latter"

If a thin model of language can write poetry, perform arithmetic, perform logical reasoning, develop software, play chess, beat factorio, identify and exploit novel security issues, and solve millenium prize problems, what is the purpose of

Are you kidding? They've been asking for regulation for years! Altman testified to the Senate in 2023. HN loves calling this hype, eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36034314 . They just put this out two days ago:

What does the one have to do with the other? If I tell you I committed a crime and an independent investigator tells you I committed a crime, why would you need to know my income and outlays to decide whether I can commit crimes?

What does verbal violence mean non-hyperbolically to you? >Verbal abuse (also known as [...] verbal violence [...]) is a type of psychological abuse that involves the use of oral or written language directed to a victim. Verbal abuse can

>even invents concerns to downplay as if Jasmine had reported on them. In particular, you said that noise is a non-issue – that's not discussed at all in the interview (CMD+F "noise" – zero results). Huh? How about CMD+F o

I read that comment as well at the time and was taken aback. After such a lengthy discussion where Jasmine went and talked to the people doing the disagreeing over multiple weeks and reported her findings, Rachel replies that no, this is wr

Just read this interview[1] the other day that contends that the blue collar workers, or at least their union leaders, are thrilled about the data center boom. There are loads of these projects underway and they show no sign of stopping, so

This has nothing to do with agreement with the crowd, and it's not a matter of difference of opinion between us. There are guidelines here[1] that are not being met. A conscious effort was made to prevent this site from being an echo c

If your response to an argument is inb4, you don't get to tell somebody else they're not putting in enough effort to provide substance. Also, I brought up race dynamics before your inb4, so even if anticipation counted as more tha

People directly criticize LLM code generators all the time on this site. It's all over the place. You are almost certainly being routinely banned because you write low-effort comments that violate the site guidelines and negatively imp

As a guy who presumably has a lot less experience in security than you, I feel rude even bringing it up: surely you're aware of red teaming? This isn't a novel technique invented for AI- IBM has a page about it, it's what all

The companies are begging to be regulated for this reason and have been doing so for years. HN's response is generally that this is performative for marketing or seeking regulatory capture or haha anthropic you get what you ask for. Ma

Is this new behavior from them? I haven't looked at their free chat offering in a minute, but I thought they always had them close behind paid tier, often with essentially equal products that made it weird for them to sell the paid tie

You can't use that meme argument at the beginning and mention that it is perfectly possible to boycott the other company at the end. The whole point of the meme is that participating in society is unavoidable, right? And I don't t

This notion that legislatures are blind to the number of jobs that will be created is contradicted by your previous link. You can scroll through table 2 for this- Alabama expects 20 jobs, Georgia 5-25, Nevada 10, etc. These states don'

Could you point to some evidence that we are not? Or at least an anecdote or an opinion on what the issue is or anything at all of substance rather than a provocative question and a bit of snark? What am I supposed to take away from this- I

This doesn't make any sense. The population has experienced massive uplift over the last few decades. Their parents weren't going on vacations with the family as kids, they were struggling to put food on the table. Houses are outp

As far as casino games, you might find yourself in this situation with a half-decent poker hand or if you're counting cards in blackjack. Casinos don't hand out advantages over the house, which is why the former is coming from oth

Reactions to Windows ME forced MS to respond with XP; reactions to Vista forced them to respond with 7. They're being stated in parallel rather than chronologically.

It's good that we'd be able to increase the amount of goods and services produced and reduce prices. For example, a lot of people would benefit from access to cheap, reliable heart surgery within a few days of learning they needed

I would think that qualia is the element of that list that actually matters here- "Is there a way that it feels to be an LLM?" is, I expect, the underlying question being asked within "Is an LLM conscious?". If LLMs coul

I can accept that AI labs themselves, like essentially no company before them, are overselling how dangerous their product is far marketing. It's weird how confident everyone is about that theory, but it does at least make sense. But c
