This is impossible, or it’s going to be soon. LinkedIn just introduced a „this is AI-slop“-button and it remains to be seen if it’s used for good, or used to train better AI-slop. It’s a losing battle in my view.

That’s fair, and I don’t mind this. All I‘m proposing is the option for platforms to use this method on their own. If FB or IG don’t want to use it, fair. I‘m hopeful that there’s gonna be competition if there’s a system with little frictio

In my opinion: the only way forward is zero-knowledge-proof authenticated social media. We can’t have legitimate debate if we have to assume a few bad actors are cloning their voice by the thousands, poisoning debate. If we can pin one acco

I don’t see any other way past this other than regulation: We need authenticated online spaces where your account is linked to a real, government issued ID. This way, moderating content becomes feasible again. Bans will hold value, since yo

Back when GPT-2 was released, I tried figuring out how to fine tune it. I found a google notebooks template, scraped a bunch of data from r/ChangeMyMind and asked it to change my mind on different topics. I was dumbfounded that it actu

For everyone in the EU: Copying and pasting sensitive data (like customer data) into AI tools is a violation of the GDPR, and potentially the AI act, which will be enforced soon. These violations come with hefty fines.

A friend of mine forked the repo and tried it with BPE (Byte-Pair Encodings), and it did noticeably improve performance.

Late reply I guess, but "Claude builds a C compiler" was the first thing I thought about when I saw that sensationalized write-up of Mythos. It sounds awesome, but once you look deeper, there's no meat on it. I'd love to

Anything that beats alexa-level intelligence on an edge-device is what I'd call useful as well, which shouldn't be too hard. It's mind-boggling how bad current voice assistants sometimes are when you prompt them some fairly e

Not really on topic anymore, but… I keep wondering when this discussion comes up… If I take an apple and paint it like an orange, it’s clearly not an orange. But how much would I have to change the apple for people to accept that it’s an or

For YouTube, this already exists and I‘m using it. The extension is caller DeArrow and aims to reduce sensationalism via crowdsourcing, though I wouldn’t be surprised if top contributors are bots using LLMs.

AI in it‘s current phase, definitely. However, we‘ve been seeing the transformer architecture plateauing in the last couple of years. There are still improvements, but open source models are catching up. I feel like at this point it’s an in

I don’t miss multi week debugging sessions. Having a tool that instantly searches through the first 50 pages of google and comes up with a reasonable solution is just speeding up what I would have done manually anyways. Would I have learned

I think this is actually the correct way to move forward. We should be able to verify facts about people on the internet without compromising personal data. Giving platforms the ability to select specific demographics will, in my view, make

Very much depends on what you want to do. The fact that a language model can „reason“ (in the LLM-slang meaning of the term) about 3D space is an interesting property. If you give a text description of a scene and ask a robot to perform a p

Nothing about this was quick. 2015 was the first time we had an increase in authoritarianism in the public debate. Project 2025 was announced in 2023.

Officials are usually elected because the people trust them (yes von der Leyen indirectly elected, but that's besides the point here). In geopolitical decisions for example, the people can't and shouldn't be able to know ever

Surely at some point the market will just regulate itself and amazon will have to improve working conditions to keep operations running... Right? Isn't that how capitalism is supposed to work?

I will argue that you don't even need real world application. What I do find really important is motivation of a problem. Before even talking about math, teachers just need to explain where the problem came from, who was thinking about
