Nuance is needed So much so that your first reply froze me and made me think. This is not easy, it's absolutely in our nature to gate keep knowledge.

Can someone please vouch for this thread and unflag it? It's kind of the main tech issue of our time ...

It's not that hard. So if you want to ask questions or work with a Stephen King book, you have to rent it during your LLM session. OpenAi would make a small fee, the author would get the majority, and the user gets value. You don'

No need to even complicate it to that degree. A wrong begets another wrong forever unless someone stops doing the next wrong thing. That's literally what it takes.

Yeah, we have a wrong conception. It's fine, society often has wrong conceptions. We are just dead wrong about ruthless capitalism. A company is a custodian of a good society, it has responsibilities that far exceed profit.

The same way we can't process what a trillion dollars looks like, we can't actually process what large scale theft looks like. For shits and giggles, these people also have a trillion dollars.

Not to be funny on purpose, but we are having discussions in America currently on if we should finance aid for poverty and the like. I love your idea though.

So basically, we know China is never going to pay the publishers/content creators ( never ). If we hold our principles to OpenAI ( pay who you took from ), they will go bankrupt. So of course they are speaking in end-game language. To

Have we uncovered how crowds swarm digital content? It feels like these hidden algorithms trapped away inside Meta probably have the answer as well. Those would be meaningful research papers from Meta if they were ever to do it.

Things like humble bragging, writing styles, DMing patters, etc etc etc. This exists because there is limited courage to call this out. There are not many polite ways to tell someone this, you would need people in their life to pull them

As in, if you are on the ship, we can absolutely find something for you to do. Here, color the fucking map, clean the sails. Why would we throw them off the ship?

We got better and better models when we threw more and more compute? I gotta work on my snarkiness. Seriously, that's pretty good empirical evidence. The smaller models we get are all some kind of distillation or student model of a lar

If we were to do this, we wouldn't just pick someone so out of the range of what's needed. So basically, if you reframe your question, would I hire a 70 average student on a team of 90 average students? Yes. We would not pick the

Could a company keep a subjective poor performer on for the lifespan of the company? As in, what is the plus or minus in overall revenue or profit from this charity? What if all companies did that? Could we distribute the "burden"

What is debugging in vibe coding? If the vibe changes, that's gotta be a blocker. If the vibe changes, then I guess you are stuck and need to white board or go for a walk? I talk a lot of shit about Gen-Z, but they come up with the bes

"Luckily doesn't affect any of the sites I'm responsible for, since I hated middleware and most of the Nextjs "magic" features already." This is probably the most important comment. You don't have to use

Because it denies people a chance to live in peace. If the ego constantly needs to justify itself, then we can't live in peace. If you need to learn, please do so on your own and bring what you can from your private learnings. It'

I don't think the language itself being English is an issue at all because there's only 50-100 keywords per language, maybe . It's all the code comments and documentation/manuals/discussion that can be the issue.
