Not much if you only use it as a glorified search engine, but the problem stems from all the other things you can make it do for personal use after jailbreaking.

That's a fair point, and it gets into intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation. Problem is that nearly all students are conditioned to care about external motivators (GPA, parental expectations, etc..) instead of "the joy of learning&quo

Is that really a fair comparison though? Were there any stats showing that ball pens directly impacted metrics like grades? I understand that it's harder to see things without the benefit of hindsight, but we must agree that AI's

I'm curious why this comment got flagged? At least to me it looks really human (typos, uncapitalized words, etc..)

Those that start negatively impacting day-to-day life significantly, although I believe nearly everyone can benefit from some sort of therapy.

I don't know much about stats, but does "the null is that the success rate is the same" imply that it's a sketchy methodology because they can come up with some findings ("ruder prompts are better/worse!")

Isn't that exactly what the free trial is for? Am I missing something?

It's not just about documentation. If stuff really goes wrong, you need people who deeply understand the codebase so that they know where to look and how to diagnose the issue. It might be the case in the future that LLMs become so pow

I honestly don't think it's possible for platforms to have "nice" algorithms like this without slowly slipping into the "maximum-engagement" algorithms we're plagued with now. I remember seeing this happen

Most of them only got to that position from being loud in the first place, so I'd think you could still put them in the latter category.

I re-realized this about a week ago when the "red button vs blue button" debate started appearing a lot on Reddit and Instagram. It's frustrating when every comment is just a shallow knee-jerk reaction from one side re-iterat

Personally, in almost all cases I think it'd be more convenient to just prompt AI myself (and maybe get the original prompt) instead of having to sift through overly-verbose AI output from an unknown prompt.

The mental gymnastics at play here are astounding. Why would women acclimate to it and see it as the norm while men don't? If anything, exposing men to violence will also make them more violent in their future relationships.

> There was simply not much I could work with (what I thought at the time). This has been my big blocker keeping me from talking to most people. I feel quite adept socially once I get going, but I can usually only get to that point throu

Not sure what you mean by "not public", given that you can just search it up and find a Reuters article from March giving out his full name and background.

Even noticing the sarcasm, it just seems a bit... unnecessary? It interrupts a discussion without adding much, so to me just seems snarky for no good reason.

I doubt the web will allow itself to be transformed into our idealized version of it, so the question seems to just be: do you want to be part of the obscure circle or not? Neither choice is right or wrong, but I like the idea of a cool com

As an intern I feel the same everyday. It feels more natural to me to just keep digging into the codebase until I figure something out instead of asking for help. Part of it is what you mentioned, as well as the fact that I sometimes feel b

I think people care less about risk and more about human creativity & genuinity. Personally, I get disgusted when I see AI encroaching into artistic fields because I hope new technologies will be used to replace our monotonous work, not

like OP originally said, the LLM doesn't have access to the actual process of the author, only the completed/refined output. Not sure why you need a concrete example to "test", but just think about the fact that the LLM

But surely there are also more truths, and they spread faster than ever before? The amount of lies has increased but so has the amount of information in general, any question you have can be answered within 10 seconds.

Aphantasia is really annoying to explain to people, like trying to explain blindness to a person who's always seen. I can't "see" anything, but I'm able to reason about it and kinda trace what I imagine with my eyes

I really don't believe this is just a trend in Democrats; Republicans aren't innocent of this either. They'll resort to the overused labels of "socialist," "woke," or "un-American" for anyone wit

I'm not quite sure what you mean, that friends/family are a good source because they filter out noise? I would assume it's the worst type of source, people that are biased and don't provide a basis for their views, and m

I wonder if there is even that much dark money is circulating beyond official numbers. Why would they bother, given that they have the legal loophole of PACs, Super PACs, and 501(c) groups. It already seems so easy to throw money at a candi

Was honestly looking for a comment pointing it out, it really kills the interest I have in an article. Also, what's up with that face on the flying debris on the right?

Is LeCun's Law even a thing? Searching up for it doesn't yield many results, except for a HN comment where it has a different definition. I guess it could be from some obscure paper, but with how poorly it's documented it see
