It's vibecoded. This is Codex' favorite layout for some reason.

I'm (obviously, I think, given my initial reply?) fully aware of this, and I think it's entirely besides the point. "They" don't need to have a goal to emergently cause a problem, and the inability to "focus&qu

The things the OP listed mostly aren't particularly wild. I think it's you making them out larger than they are, and therefore more unlikely, which is why I take issue with your original comment. > running on the hardware they

This grossly understimates the risk, imho. The problem with LLM runs is that people run programs without knowing the outcome beforehand, with a large potential set of outcomes unlike any other class of program we've run at this scale b

Like my parent said, the grapes in East Asia are thick-skinned, and people either peel them or suck out their flesh. The ones sold in Europe are very thin-skinned, and peeling is largely impractical. I'm relating the latter to boba.

> from what I can tell. The authors are not RubyGems. The website says it's based on data served up by RubyGems. They point at OpenAI with arguments. Did you try very hard "telling"?

Considering RubyGems was part of the HF story, seems likely to be connected.

Indeed. Although what keeps me up at night is the worry that it's easier to automate attack than it is to automate defense, and that containing these systems is a losing game. Could an optimally competent OpenAI succeed?

I occasionally commision visual art from young artists/students via Krita's web forum, and what I find to be true is that if I had AI do the same art, it would just be exactly what I ask the AI to do or iterate toward (I'm de

Ouch, yes. One time I commissioned a musician I had befriended to make a piano arrangement of a favorite song to be played at our wedding. The result was great, but it sure wasn't cheap, even if reasonable. I'd still do this again

In South Korea (where I used to live for a while) it's quite common to wash fruit with soapy water at home before eating them.

I've had this conversation and the way I explained it is that our grapes are closer to the boba in bubble tea. It's not quite right (they don't pop quite as much) and boba isn't Japanese, but it gets the point across.

I just rip the leaves off, which is very easy with the variety we eat here. I never would have thought to cut them off. Are your two strawberries different?

When I realized you can just eat kiwi with the skin on (if it's a very hairy one, brush them off under running water) and in no time it actually tastes better (adds some lovely contrast), it became my favorite zero-ennui fruit. It almo

The reset stuff is incredibly tiresome. We all know that it's all built into an internal number they are tracking (just like e.g. company benefits that are just part of your compensation calculation), and all it does is obscure the val

I would say this is why formal proofs (and things like the Lean 4 libs) are so important, so that you can deconstruct the tower provably back into pieces you can understand. It shouldn't be possible to construct a formal proof you cann

You're assuming you'll be the one doing the explaining :-) It might also be that they won't even ask or wonder, similar to how most don't really do with pre-machining skills. Or it could be like our "How did they bu

The Vision Pro was meant for early adopters of a new mainstream thing. (Yes, I also thought this would fail.) The Mac Mini is an entry level product I see quite lot of people pick up. How is it niche?

Interesting how the first beat of the curiously-low-bitrate, kinda-ugly video presentation was admitting that the agent's highest priority is to get me to buy more stuff through its store front. It's certainly honest. Is this mark
