I recently experimented with trying to generate a passable slide deck from a script and outline I had written beforehand. The ChatGPT integration built into Powerpoint was abysmally bad. Like to the point it was embarrassing as a product. C

Reading this comment really shifted my perspective on this whole thing. I’m less upset about the firing and more upset that anyone ever has the ability to control the livelihoods of 19,000 people. Maybe businesses shouldn’t get that big.

I cannot imagine that license addendum is legally enforceable (let alone provable) in most jurisdictions on earth but it is interesting.

> to harden a system you need to spend more tokens discovering exploits than attackers will spend exploiting them. If we take this at face value, it's not that different than how a great deal of executive teams believe cybersecurity

A human can easily produce output that looks like anything an LLM can produce, therefor an LLM detector that can say "this is 100% written by AI" cannot exist. It's really that simple. > Can you ever be 100% sure? Maybe no

by devmor 5mo ago
AI detectors that use text as a basis are not real. It is fundamentally impossible for them to exist.

Yeah I don’t really know how to solve the first problem programmatically but the second problem is a major issue with our justice system in general. Fines are only punishments for the lower economic class and do little to correct behavior.

I have zero problems with this type of citation. From the description, it sounds like there’s a safety issue with some road markings that needs to be fixed and everyone who is not endangering young pedestrians would be happy.

I agree with you and further will add that modularity+atomicity are the ideal state for the vast majority of software applications… but in reality, most organizations can not afford to rewrite their software to the extent required to achiev

While reading the article I was thinking the same thing. I can think of problems I've solved that directly affected 0% of our customers, but overloaded our customer support team.

People gained more exposure to eachother and realized it was kind to warn eachother of things that might bother them a lot. There’s quite a difference between the popularized image of what trigger warnings are and the common sense use-cases

Try doing that on a “real” DB with hundreds of millions of rows too. Anything more than adding a column is a massive risk, especially once you’ve started sharding.

You're right, I apologize for that. I have been responding with annoyance rather than walking away when I receive replies that appear to be ignoring context.

No, it's not intelligence of any kind. It's a statistical language analyzer and reconstructor. This happens to be extremely useful for targeting things like systems that consist of logic defined in structured language.

The biggest jump in the numbers they quoted is 6%. Please look at the columns OTHER than Opus as well.

Please stop using terms you don’t understand like “AGI” because you feel overwhelmed by something doing cool stuff. It’s exhausting.

I would say I didn't mean the statement that generally - it was contextual to the topic. i.e. If your friends wont remark on your penmanship, who cares? If they wont remark on how you treat service workers at a restaurant, that's

Correct. It's been a lifelong struggle for me. I have found outside ways to address it, but even in my 30's I will forget to eat meals or do chores if I don't set disruptive alarms to do so.

That too! Every time the agent does something I didn't intend, I end up making a tool or process guidance to prevent it from happening again. Not just add "don't do that" to the context.

I have to work with agents as a part of my job and the very first thing I did when writing MCP tools for my workflow was to ensure they were read only or had a deterministic, hardcoded stopgap that evaluates the output. I do not understand

Throughout my life, what colleagues/friends are unwilling to remark plainly on has been the most telling factor of someone’s character to me.

No, most systems in daily life can be understood if you are willing to take the time. That doesn’t mean you personally are required to, but some people do and your interaction with the system of social trust determines how much of that rema

It is very silly to treat zero grounding the same as accepting core, proven concepts. Your PoV here is no different than saying "It rains because god is sad and crying" is an appropriate thing to believe. If you want to say "

Copilot isn’t really a competing product to Claude - in fact I use Claude through copilot. I have found in general that for the type of work I do (senior to staff level engineering, 90-10 research to programming) that Claude Opus is the o

I think you’re handwaving away vague, ungrounded intuition and calling it learning. For instance, if I say “I noticed I run better in my blue shoes than my red shoes” I did not learn anything. If I examine my shoes and notice that my blue s

I hate that pattern so much. It’s also not just to obfuscate the spending - it’s also to ensure you already have some amount left over in your account, so that it feels like you’re not spending as much to just “top up” and afford that on
