>Months later, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller proposed a bill mandating all state residents to build their own shelters, but it didn’t pass. Wow, the bill attempts to make the case that nuclear shelter is like other building codes and

I don't want that, but I see your point. I would rather our population have a healthy immune system where bad ideas just don't survive, than to have us live as Bubble Boy, cut off from the rest of the world forever.

You're being hyperbolic. Community Notes on X are an example of these tools, and they are not ignored or distrusted from what I've seen. If your tools are poor, make better tools. But also, as a first principle, accept that some p

So then you need to come to terms with people rejecting what you want them to believe. Some people won't believe you no matter what. Does that mean you get to reach for another tool, like force, or censorship? No, it means you need to

"How do we stop people from sharing (what I deem to be) fake news?" is the wrong question. The right question is "How do we give people the tools to identify fake news?" If you give people the tools and they still spread

Since we're making silly comparisons, charitable organizations also give things away for "free", making the recipients somewhat dependent on them. There's plenty to criticize OpenAI about, but why associate them with dru

There's just too many people in tech, because tech needs too many people. Once we have better tools to reduce complexity and allow teams to be much much smaller, many of these problems will vanish, because a engineering team will consi

I've implemented a very similar RAG hybrid solution, and it has improved LLM responses enormously. There are other things you can do too that have huge improvements, like destructuring your data and placing it into a graph structure, w

Can you not evaluate the contents of an article on their own merit, without first biasing yourself for or against the author? Of everything the article mentions, you seem to think it being on a "conservative platform" is the most

What's your own political tilt, so that I can "just note" it?

Having written a 3d game engine from scratch, I had automated tests, but they were more comparable to "golden" tests, which are popular in the UI test world. Basically, my renderer needed to produce a pixel-perfect frame. If a pix

Where do you recommend this? It sounds dangerous for databases that do not implement RLS, like Mysql, MariaDb, Sqlite. I think you should highlight that very clearly somewhere.

What? How does that ensure user 123 only generates LLM queries that constrain on rows where user=123?

What guarantees do you offer with query security if I turn this over to an end user? How do I keep them only accessing their own data?

I would like to think that a normal person, having not been able to hire voice work from a specific well-known actor, and wanting to avoid any image of impropriety, would use a completely different voice instead. Sam isn't dumb, he kne

This whole thing is starting to feel like another Sam Altman spotlight production. There's enough evidence to show no wrongdoing, but it was handled in a way to make people think there was a scandal. Maximum spotlight for relatively lo

What's the steelman argument for this being a slippery slope? I can't think of one.

But your product is producing human-formatted content for human recruiters. It sounds like you're interested in increasing the noise until there's no signal, and then hoping someone finds a way to bring the signal back.

I mean this question with the best intentions: Can you share why you think this is a good idea and what do you think is the long term implications of AI-ifying resumes?

It doesn't matter because they hold all of the cards. It's the nature of power: you can get away with things that you normally couldn't. If you really want OpenAI to behave, you'll support their competitors and/or o

Sounds like you're using the music industry's definition of "steal." Nothing was stolen, because nobody was deprived of the thing.

I know someone who fancies himself an expert, and indeed, by comparison to the average tech worker, he is an expert in LLMs and AI. He vehemently believes AGI is coming this year. At least, that's what he said last year. I suppose he
