You are totally misunderstanding my argument then. As I said, garbage in garbage out. Your article is just an example of that. It’s pretty obvious that if you train an LLM on bad data, you will get bad output. What I’m saying is that the AI

The question is not whether it has happened or will continue to happen. Of course it will always be a problem to some extent. Your original claim is that this will be enough of a problem to prevent models from improving in expert level know

There are so many better data sources that AI labs can use here that this argument really holds no water at all. Peer reviewed journals, textbooks, in-house teams of experts, trusted news publications, etc. The whole idea of scraping large

I seriously doubt that data set poisoning will be a real limiter in model performance. For one, if your website/book is poisoned, who is going to trust it for anything at all, much less for training models? For two, all the major AI la

That’d land better as a political hit if only it made any sense at all. Truly a low effort attempt.

The whole point of Congress is to get a bunch of people with different ideas and hash them out. Ideas like this are an input, not an output, of Congress.

I think they’d try to get something through Congress to regulate the industry in a rules-based way. The current admin flies by the seat of their pants and at least creates the perception of political decision making.

How are people going to get a Steam account with a purchase from before April 27th though? I guess you could find somebody online and buy their account, but surely this would be a slow and unreliable process.

Which is probably why Meta has been getting into all kinds of side projects like VR/AR and AI lately. Because there just isn’t that much they can think of in the social media space that’d be worth doing. Of course, with how mediocrely

Imagine if computer programs had a desire for self-preservation and the ability to carry it out.. That is really about as undesirable a behavior as possible considering how many programs humans kill every day.

At my company, most devs are under $1500 a month as well. I’ve heard of a few cases of devs racking up bills fast, but it has typically been due to inefficient context usage. Like they just have one super long session with Opus 1M and are g

Pensions also invest in stocks, though the difference is that pensioners have no control at all. Of course, they also have guarantees of a certain level of income. I think the main problem with the 401k is that not enough people actually co

Yeah, there’s really nothing controversial about that. RCS is the improved replacement for SMS. That doesn’t mean I care if you use it.

Don’t use it if you don’t want. I’m not some kind of RCS salesman. I usually use third party apps myself. That doesn’t mean it’s not an upgrade versus SMS.

It’s better than SMS and is the new industry standard. Also, iMessage kind of sucks too. There are many better messaging apps. The problem is that many people in the US never even try those. They just see that Androids have green bubbles an

Yup, they’ve been screwing up all the way to the bank. I agree that lower cost models will become a bigger priority in the near future, but I have to hard disagree that Anthropic’s strategy can be characterized as a screw up. Sure, if they

Yeah, it’s called supply and demand. Demand for memory went way up suddenly. Now supply is going up rapidly as companies try to cash in on that demand. Supply will eventually catch up with demand. Then the prices will come back down.
