I would expect a preference for lutefisk flavored shit, the problem is then you then deduce from that that people prefer lutefisk flavor over cinnamon, rather than that you should stop feeding people shit (and also stop feeding them lutefis

The idea of publishing null findings is very attractive, but the problem here is that they didn't record what the actual problem they're trying to solve is. It seems a bit like someone prompted Claude to try and make tool calls mo

I don't think the problem is a lack of previous research, the problem is it looks like the target metrics were selected by an LLM, and it's unclear what the LLM was told to optimize or if it was just told to try and make a better

I think the speed of improvement is somewhat overstated, and I think this is all cool, valuable fundamental research. Rather than slowing down I would like to talk about how we can make it easier for people to harden their systems using the

That doesn't really seem true. The HF hack happened with a model that had all the alignment safeguards disabled intentionally. I think there's a good case for that kind of research, but also, OpenAI could just not do that if every

OpenAI accidentally hacked HuggingFace roughly 2 months ago. I would bet that the danger of them accidentally hacking HuggingFace during a similar attack has increased since then, and will continue to increase for the next 6 months. I don&#

We really need a hybrid short-haul standard designed for short-range transmission. Something that uses low-frequency spectrum currently allocated to 5G but isn't locked to a single carrier and the protocol can be shared between WiFi an

Documentation is important. I would say Opus' propensity to write documentation that documents non-features is part of the problem being discussed. And the problem isn't just that it says what the software doesn't do, most of

I think you aren't recognizing the harm of collecting this information. I might be okay with this if companies were banned from using age for targeted advertising. However, the other harm is the recent IDScan hack which leaked 153M peo

I would assume an H100 selling for less than $30k is a scam. I see one for 11,329€, and one for $25k but most are over $30k and I don't know how to judge these random storefronts. You've bought an H100 for $20k that was in working

I would rather take this option than a single H100: > 96 GB Dual NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 w/ 1000W PSU (non-refundable) +$19,169 Though I don't think there's anything stopping you from trying to stuff an H100 into this machine

Google is buying the output because they are increasing demand by half a nuclear power plant's worth of power. I actually think it's pretty reasonable to pass a law demanding they build an entire nuclear power plant here.

For the purposes I use world maps for, correct relative sizing is the paramount thing I'm looking for in a projection. I generally use it to give me a rough idea of distances. Boggs seems inferior, at a glance I have no idea how far it

LG's terms of service essentially state that they will record any voice commands and store them for 6 months. They explicitly say they may store them in Korea. https://us.lgappstv.com/main/terms Actually I think e

AI detectors do not work. There are passages in this that have some odd structures that don't feel human to me. I'm sure a human edited this and refined it with some prompting, it's not just rough output from an AI. But a lot

Putting IDs in mobile wallets is such a minefield without explicit bans on phone searches by law enforcement. Law Enforcement being able to rifle through all your email/bank/medical records because you had a traffic stop is just n

I'm not talking about future capabilities, I'm saying it will cease to be arguable within 5 years. We can't just bury our heads in the sand. Kids are going to need to engage with this directly, and it cannot wait until after

Frontier LLMs with Internet search are different beasts than what you're describing as an average LLM. In 5 years I don't think you're going to be able to get away from LLMs if you care about correctness, and we're alrea

This sounds like a swarm of agents with particular prompting that happens to guide the LLMs toward doing a lot of fuzzing, so it's not either/or; you're getting all the compute requirements of both.

I'd be interested in some legal/GDPR takes on PII handling in prompts. If someone enters PII into a prompt, and Mistral retains it for training, is it sufficient for them to say "don't enter PII into prompts?" Of co

I'm strictly talking about developed countries where we have rule of law and it's trivial to house and feed people if you have free housing and free food. I'm not suggesting AI can solve warlords, I'm not suggesting anyo

Ending poverty is a purely mechanical problem, with very straightforward solutions if you have robots that can do any mechanical task. You don't need to give anyone a job, you just need to give them food and shelter. (Ideally also medi

If AI is really that powerful, shouldn't someone like Gates be able to end hunger and homelessness with a one-time capital expenditure? Somehow "give people jobs" is the primary problem he wants to solve, not ending poverty.

The human isn't the one responsible for the traffic violation, Waymo is. Could you give an example where a Waymo committed a traffic violation and they weren't cited?

What does it mean to be held responsible for the consequences? OpenAI helped remediate the damage done by the model and took steps to make sure it wouldn't happen again. In what way were they not responsible? Nobody said they were supe

It's only been at most the past year where AI has been unambiguously helpful and not a hindrance. 3 years ago it gave the appearance of being helpful but it tended to be more of a hindrance.

The old expense of installing new tools means that seeing how tools actually work in practice is simply impossible. You pretty much install a tool and you accept that it is the tool. You have to know how to ask the right questions, but I th
