This is AI. I can see the signature in what it thinks good argument looks like @seizethecheese The levels of clickbait in that headline are absurd. It's like seventh hell of clickbait. Also it doesn't come from the source. WSJ hea

Oh well then, if it references something already published somewhere. Nothing to talk about here. It's a perfectly normal, non-secret thing. Let's move on.

It is amazing how Dr. Know projects where AI is likely to go. And a Kubrick script, no less. Even the commercial overlap, where you pump in coins as the only way to get answers. Did it not also have ads? Truly prescient.

I agree with this redescription fallacy and the point being made here. Perhaps a better analogy to humans would be: Humans appear to intelligenty communicate, however these are just cleverly disguised sound patterns produced by the brain th

A more accurate formulation would be their strategy for decades has been asserting commercial influence on their political opponents. Going back further, this chimes with their overall strategy. From the center, expand out. Hard when safest

Main trading partner for the vast majority of the world is not a trust signal. It is an effect of strategy. Relies on navigable seas means nothing in the context of seas becoming dominated by China. Then, they would have that, simply not in

And Google Maps literally did something very similar to me once, just a few years ago. Told me straight ahead when there was a sharp hairpin obscured by overhead bridge (literal mapping issue in unusual motorway adjacent road). Caused a cra

One of the biggest forces is simply the voice of the people, as demonstrated in threads like this. Note how NordVPN cited growing public sentiment against taking half the internet down in Spain in an attempt to stop streams during games.

I think it's simply a context thing, and LLMs can go blind to any part of the instructions at any time, possibly when exploring complex micro tasks that create their own layers of context within them. That's how the pattern feels

I was also around then, and actually it did feel exactly the same now that you say. Sense of sailing towards an unknown destination that seemed very exciting, but was clear we didn't quite get what it was yet and were working out the d

Why would they need to release the prompt, as if it's a part of transparency? It's obviously some form of "find security vulnerabilities" and contains no magic in itself. All that matters is the output here.

This is a completely paywalled article. Not being able to read the argument, I'll just note that dogs are horrible sound polluters. Possibly only when they have bad human owners, but I'm pretty sure they're biologically evolv

This feels part of a category of error I've noticed countless times. It's as if the boundary of user and LLM is not clear in its thinking, as two separate things. It can be pretty damn weird at times. For example, identifying itse

Yep. Grammar and structure is too perfect. "Just let it slide" shows a disconnect. Also the title felt completely out of place to me for HN, I clicked it out of curiosity to see. Good advice given nonetheless.

Actually this makes sense to me. It sounds like they are in a cutthroat market, and realised they couldn't afford to stake that principle. And that it wouldn't matter if they did – it would just assure them being handicapped in a

True, but there is no obstacle in the way of showing the source. Especially considering how concise Japanese is. Best of both worlds. Fascinating discussion in this whole thread.

macOS does have weirdness with windows that span multiple screens. I bet some of that kicked in to an unacceptable level. It can create incoherent moving/snapping, for example. Has been kind of crazy-making for a while, for my set-up w

Nope. He was unapologetically socialist before his involvement in the Civil War, and that conflict actually did make him anti-communist, and an anti-authoritarian. Socialism of the kind Orwell supported and communism of the kind we have see

And by the way, this still IS the software market I participate in, because there’s a lot of great indie software still adhering to it. It’s still possible. I have weeded out almost all unnecessary SaaS. I do actually have Fastmail and 1Pas

I think this looks great too. Finally replicating the efficiency of newspaper layouts. No enforced symmetry, just content in an optimal space. I want.

Lots of things. “Could I have some sugar, please; two frappy mochachos? one with almond milk; can you explain what all these options are, please; what the hell is mushroom powder?” In today’s coffee shops this can lead to hours of complex s

This sounds right – likely tests to gather information. What gets through, what doesn't, what's successful, what isn't. I think the ultimate goal would be to influence the platform (I don't have showdead enabled, so I&#x

It does initially look like a stupid and Insanely Facile fashion statement, I agree, but I think the iPod sock v2 could be one of the most practical and cleverly designed products Apple has ever released. It's clearly intended to be us

I agree with almost all of this. IMO the issue is we won't be able to adequately answer this question before we first clearly describe what we mean of conscious thinking applied to ourselves. First we'd need to clearly define our

Wow, haha. Reminds me of the recent South Park where they hold up the phone and the AI says "I can confirm we have the authority to pass."

Do you mean some Russians used Ukraine as a money laundering middleman, specifically through corruption of politicians and elites in the system there? Because it sounds like it. Before the "conflict" (invasion) happened.

Yep. I'd like to see some news stories confirming this magical past.

All true, I have no doubt, but this experience has weighted your judgement here IMO. That isn't the force at play in modern customer service policies.

Wow, love this – and how Byrne keeps creating interesting projects in the digital age. How did I not know about this before.
