The game is not itself a store or advertising a real store. It is an entirely different product category. Parody is still legal and allowed as fair use, the likeness is the point. This is hardly the most egregious example that I have seen.

Coding has always felt a little like sorcery to me, with a lot of learning and experience you can channel data flowing through silicon and networks into something beautiful and useful. It still feels like that, but now you don't need s

It is funny how the experience of finding a tool/platform that you love can be a little bit like joining a cult. You probably have experience using other things that were frustrating and this one seems like the answer. Each platform ha

The training algorithm is probably the wrong place to ensure the behavior, point taken. It probably requires some harness level intervention. This is essentially the rationale behind the first two laws of robotics, follow an order unless it

I don't think this captures the full mechanics of human alignment. We have rational alignment but we also have emotional alignment, i.e., empathy. It is an automatic process and happens (or doesn't happen) dynamically with the oth

I don't read less, but I do read fewer books. It is hard to find a book that is the best source for what I want know about, and that changes too frequently now to outlive the time it takes to read a book. This is what you'd expect

That's not how I see it. Not all AI writing is slop, it depends on how much human thought has guided it. I would always prefer to read something written by human intelligence, but if ever there were a case for AI writing it would be so

This is brilliant. I think it could stand to be a little more imaginative in their stories. It seems like it should be possible to do that while still conveying an accurate picture. "He made his living as a professional" is simply

It seems like the two approaches compliment each other nicely. Human intelligence also relies on parallel information processing. LLMs are like a massive working memory, incredibly effective but with a similar set of limitations. What they

For what it's worth, the people I have known personally who talk like this don't actually do very much except talk like this. Then again, they have never been sanctioned by a government.

Maybe it is healthy for society in the long run to have pockets of divergent belief. Most of the time it is groundless and fades away. Every so often it gains traction. If it is based in reality, we gain a better understanding. If it is mis

I could understand "prefer enums to booleans" but "use enums instead of booleans" is a weird choice. Then again, with the LLM capacity for nuance it would be the same thing.

That might have made sense in a pre-LLM world. People need to recognize the liability of letting an LLM access the internet and act on their behalf, because that liability exists for someone.
