This is not being against technology. It's ensuring that technology is used to serve humans, and not the other way around. https://caiml.org/dighum/dighum-manifesto/

What I would love to see is a side by side comparison of two companies (one using AI, and one without) over an extended period of time. Id wager that they would fare the same. The time saved on some tasks are outweighed by extra time spent

A humanist revolution. Sure we can't stop the technology, but we _can_ stop the importance and money heaped into it.

I see a lot of people throw their hands up in the air and say "I have no control over this, might as well go all in on AI". But we as individual consumers have more power than we think. We don't need to use these AI features

You trust machine code because it was produced by a deterministic system that was written and tested thoroughly by other engineers. AI systems are not the same. You can't guarantee deterministic output. Also, code is still the best lan

I think there's a corollary to this. Not only is it hollowing out the middle class, it's preventing the junior engineers from stepping up to the senior level. Everyone starts off as a bad engineer. Just like any other profession,

This is what I was looking for, thanks!

Sure, but then you would just use an image generation or multimodal model to generate that image. I don't think you'd want a weird looking svg.

Can someone explain what the pelican on a bicycle tests exactly? And why is it so important? I've never understood how it could translate to a useful task in real life.

Firstly, I don't have many issues with benchmarks per se. But I do have issues with leaderboards. And the AA index is touted by lots of people to argue that X model is better than Y, which I find inaccurate. > I mean, it's tell

by meander_water 2mo ago
The funny thing is that these leaderboards have become completely meaningless for end-users to make decisions on when to use what model. A single metric ranking is useless because each model has strengths and weaknesses for specific domains

1. The benchmark is run with a python script - https://github.com/sunblaze-ucb/exploitgym using an agent harness. I suspect they used codex. So the model has access to the environment and could trivially inspect its ow

I thought all model providers are doing this under the hood anyway in their UI? They certainly seem to when A/B testing different models, and Fable routes to Opus 4.8 when guardrails fail. Also, openrouter recently released a fusion ro

GPTZero is much better at handling humanized outputs. Also has a similar false positive rate to Pangram.

Thanks, I didn't mean to be brusque, but I have seen a lot of these vibe tests lately that come to grand conclusions like "X model is better than Y" from the result of a single prompt. Appreciate you sharing the results of yo
