I read it as the liberal elite hate young men... so damaging them is a good thing.

In case anyone missed it, tptacek is saying that ai is different than just a tool. Tool analogies are not good. A better analogy is, now you have what seems like an increasingly intelligent personal assistant that can do any cognitive wor

How about anything that tracks the user's behavior and changes its output based on that behavior specific to that user. If I have a table somewhere in my software that identifies a user and references behavior, not intentional setting

I believe NetFlix actually had a plan to stream movies from the start (hence the name) and just did the DVD shipping as a way to get started.

Intelligence seems to boil down to an approximation of reality. The only scientific output is prediction. If we want to know what happens next just wait. If we want to predict what will happen next we build a model. Models only model a

That is a good point. It is impressive. Llms from two years ago were impressive, llms a year ago were impressive, and from a month ago even more impressive. Still, getting "something" to compile after a week of work is very diff

This is entirely too charitable. Basically all this proves is that the agent could run in a loop for a week or so, did anyone doubt that? They marketed as if we were really close to having agents that could build a browser on their own. Th

One definition of analysis is: The process of separating something into its constituent elements. I think when someone designs a software system, this is the root process, to break a problem into parts that can be manipulated. Humans do t

Maybe one day our knee jerk reactionary outrage will be quelled not by any enlightenment but because we are forced to grow weary of falling prey to phishing attacks. I'd feel pretty stupid getting worked up about something only to real

I've seen the following quote. "The energy consumed per text prompt for Gemini Apps has been reduced by 33x over the past 12 months." My thinking is that if Google can give away LLM usage (which is obviously subsidized) it ca

I get this take, but given the state of the world (the US anyways), I find it hard to trust anyone with any kind of profit motive. I feel like any information can’t be taken as fact, it can just be rolled into your world view and discard

I can’t imagine this is not happening. There exists the will, the means and the motivation, with not a small dose of what pg might call naughtiness.

When I tried the Gemini/AI formula it didn’t work very well, gpt-5 mini or nano are cheap and generally do what you want if you are asking something straightforward about a piece of content you give them. You can also give a json sche

That makes sense for why they are so much better at writing code than actually following the steps the same code specifies. Curious, is anyone training in adversarial simulations? In open world simulations? I think what humans do is align

It seems like there is a bunch of research/working implementations that allow efficient fine tuning of models. Additionally there are ways to tune the model to outcomes vs training examples. Right now the state of the world with LLMs

I think this is the wrong take. I don’t agree that people are good or bad, I think actions are, and there are lots of reasons and motivations a person can end up enabling a bad situation, some of those motivations can even at the time b
