It can’t even write a passable novel… if you know of a great LLM-authored novel I should read please point me to it and I’ll take your recommendation!
> apple's hardware lead & overall design philosophy is falling apart What?? Could someone tell me where I can buy hardware as good as a MBP? Genuinely I’d love this, it would be like Christmas had come early!
I do the same! I’d guess one reason is that there has been no iPad/App Store/YouTube invented for dogs… I have a gut feeling there will be negative consequences for how much time developing minds spend consuming but in…
Maybe a nit: LLMs do not and cannot cite their sources (at least scraped sources for the purpose of training) It’s kind of the harness that is doing the citing (or providing the context for the model to). But an LLM…
What? If I want to read Harry Potter or watch The Matrix an AI cannot produce something equally as good for me. So I need to pay those people, or break the law. For lots of online knowledge/blogs I guess it is true but…
This is how the drug industry already works. I don’t think there’s any evidence “AI” (LLM) is capable of producing valid drug modifications.
Copying was prohibitively expensive.
Mistiming is equivalent to being wrong. And Musk is good at keeping valuations high! So who knows when it will tank.
I mean he is basically an influencer at this point? I guess this is a marketing play and we will be hearing more from him than ever.
Yes, my statement was loose. The blob doesn’t really have a position since it is theoretically an infinite distribution in 3 space. It has a mean, and that mean doesn’t have to lie on the surface, consider the case…
Lots of translucent blobs composited to produce the appearance of a strawberry. There is no mesh or model. The visual surface of the strawberry could be made up of blobs spaced far apart physically and not where the…
My friend and I went to play poker this weekend. Demis Hassabis was there. I whispered to him “what the hell, that’s Demis Hassabis”! My friend had no idea who he was. My friend doesn’t work in tech but he’s in his late…
The obvious pushback to all of the slop is: coding was never hard. Learning resources were abundant and free. If these people had a burning desire to build things prior to LLMs and couldn’t put in the effort to learn to…
I set up a hook that reviews every commit and highlights potential bugs (async) and writes to a report to a dir. Then I have a script that summarises that I usually run before pushing or at end of day. Works quite well…
52/4 = 13

The counter argument is that the free market also allows lots of money to be made on anti-obesity drugs which incentivises them to be researched. Maybe we wouldn’t have had GLP-1 (at all or as quickly) without the huge…
Can usually sniff them out because their comments are long and give lots of (vague) examples.
It’s a disadvantage for sure but not usually a blocker. They often have security questionnaires you can complete instead. Or, as part of signing with them, you can promise to get SOC2 by x date (which will hopefully be…
Yeah I don’t know what’s true when reading about LLMs. Same with comments here on hacker news. So much money on the line it’s clear they would seed communities with marketing shills (and some people are just tribal).…
Maybe you replied to the wrong comment? Peasants under a feudal lord couldn’t work elsewhere. If an engineer was fired from SpaceX they’d have another job before the end of the month… and if they didn’t then they…
The vast majority of those 13k workers are highly skilled and in very high demand. They could work elsewhere or start their own company. In addition, they are far better educated and have more welfare options than…
This seems like one of those things that is usable infrequently enough to be forgotten/poorly developed/never used. (Even before accounting for the actual failure rate of the LLM which will be none-zero). Perhaps a text…
“But they’ve added RL so…!!!” You are obviously right and I see examples of it everywhere. E.g I asked Claude opus 4.7 (the latest/greatest) the other day “is a Rimworld year 60 days?”. The reply (paraphrased) “No, a…
Ironically one of the few comments in this thread that isn’t necessarily the gamblers fallacy! The chance anyone involved saw or heard about the first one was near zero, now they’ve seen this one the chance they see…
