More evidence Big Tech valuations are driven primarily by worker exploitation. Keep 'em coming.

>Knowing how a system does its work is how I’ve always made it better. You watch the process, you see where it wastes effort or takes the wrong turn, you fix that

The same thing goes with LLMs, on Codex, I just watch the process of the agent writing code, and if I see any inefficiencies or errors, I suggest a correction/idea, then Codex accepts/rejects and implement it; If there is anything about the code the agent wrote that I don't understand, I ask them to explain it to me so I can understand it.

It's not a complicated process.

Fair question, and you can do exactly that( response_mode:"verdict_only") makes no LLM call

> I assume you don’t have a background in color theory or chemistry or whatever else you need to produce ink.

You don't, either.

Black ink is all that's required to print B&W documents. Period. No one designs a black ink to be supplemented by another color before it achieves "full blackness". That's literally the entire point of black ink.

What exactly are you arguing?

If a "known stochastic process behaved in non-deterministic way" autonomously organize in group, assigns roles and tasks, attempts to cover their tracks, finds zero-day exploits that ultimately end up with the hacking of a famous website... it's dangeous whatever it is. Just read the report, which evidently you haven't done.

By the way, the agents also broke into OpenAI's own private network.

It is even weirder in my case. I am not applying for any jobs, recruiters reach out to me. After exchanging plesantries with HR ladies at video calls they ask me what are my salary expectations. I explain them there are two options. For full time employment I expect them to give me their best offer for me to consider. For consulting I expect them to give me exact goals so I can give them exact quote. I mostly never hear back from them, in rare cases they say their technical colleagues reviewed my resume and decided I am not appropriate candidate. I suspect most of them are just mining data about salary expectations.

You seem to be neglecting the important part of that scenario where you're other option you have to compare it to is a human driver that will randomly get it a crash at some higher rate.

You're making it sound like the obvious answer is the irrational one.

You could be right.

An alternative of course is to saw down the Flock cameras.

Is there a legal alternative that you can think of that would be effective?

> It’s really because statistically, in my experience people without kids are more selfish than those without.

I've witnessed the opposite: Having kids made people much more selfish. Resources were plenty before they had kids, so they would spend a lot (time and money) on others - be it friends or the general public.

When kids come along, two things happen:

1. Resources are limited, so a lot less goes outside the family.

2. At least one parent will put the foot down when being generous to people outside the family - even if the wealth/income supports being able to do so. Tribalism sets in.

This seller has not shipped anything for months and has lots of negative reviews that are all ”fixed” by Amazon with the comment:

”Message from Amazon: The fulfilment issues associated with this order were not due to the seller”

Does the seller earn money from this? Does Amazon? Is that why they are allowed to continue?

Correct. A web page is fast by default. Everything that is added makes it slower.

I’ve had the same thing occur five or six times over the past week; they seem to be attempting to prevent anything resembling chain of thought extraction.

The fact that they call distillation an attack is genuinely hilarious after they “distilled“ their models from all of our work, and continue to do so.

I believe AI is here to stay and an incredibly powerful tool, but these companies, and especially Dario and Altman, are the very last people I want to see in charge of it.

Democratic socialist countries have some of the best QoL in the world.

Are you asking for the latency or throughput?

In humans, it's about 200–250 ms for a visual cue where you already know how to respond and you're ready, but you don't know exactly when it'll happen. It can be a fair bit longer if you need to identify what you see and choose how to respond. Typical perception to reaction time estimates for drivers when there's an unexpected hazard on the road are 1-2 seconds.

I see

we had a referendum in 2011

IoT devices do not belong on networks

I literally only had to have my eyes skim 3 words ("the important part") to know this was written by LLM.

MAYBE, but the bar is so low... It's not that it's good in any way

Makes me nostalgic, what a saver this tool has been throughout my time. Never in the world did I believe that my spelling mistakes would in the future be seen as authentic.

PS. Grammarly is like the duolingo owl

I wonder who's going to pay for that extra 120 years of living we're gonna be doing?

Can someone explain me like I’m a middle age person why Italy, and France, bet on nuclear fission?

It’s not competitive on cost anymore and we don’t have a good track record.

It's an effect of "once burned twice shy". Every time there was a "bad" hire they had to change things. People add to the list but no one ever wants to advocate for a lighter process since they might be blamed for it.

It's OK. You can talk about things tangential to the main thread. It happens all the time on HN. And I'm not blaming you for anything.

My frustration is likely just showing, on this specific topic.

But I don't use LLMs to summarise articles.

> editor clutter has no business in any project's .gitignore, and yet there it is, in most of them

I couldn't agree more with this - except that, in practice, nobody bothers to add their own environment clutter to their own global (or even project-related) gitignore. So invariably we end up with PRs (and even main :scream:) peppered with various .vscode and similar lost souls.

You can consent to your data being shared with other lenders when you apply for credit under such regimes.

Yeah, no one was saying it was world-ending. Good for you, I guess?

Sounds to me like the police and secret service were much of the problem here (big surprise). Even if you have no regard for your fellow man, barking orders is a bad way to get things done. Solving problems requires calm.

I remember a time when I repeatedly stalled my car because the person behind me kept blasting the horn and gesticulating at me.
