They trained a model to detect AI-written text.

It works fine on mainstream models where the output hasn't been edited.

It doesn't work on humanizers or custom model output.

Re:Just a little AI resistance, as a treat on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @10:37AM (#50353326)
They don't judge based on watermarks. They judge based on vibes. They literally just have a LLM-like model that's trained to 'detect' AI-generated writing.

It's as close to snake oil as it gets in tech.

I tapped out at the AI-isms in the readme.

Nvidia, I get you're all-in on AI, but please at least find a human to write some copy. It's both overly verbose and entirely lacking of important info at the same time.

Personally I think it's more accurate and useful to compare against competitive models rather than show "X% below the top-of-the-top today"

They aren't referring to "everyone" they are referring to "the people in the demoscene" and they are correct.
Based on their comment, presumably justice for their involvement in a genocide. Was that unclear?
Re:We Took over ChatGPT Accounts on Saturday October 31, 2026 @12:57PM (#50317858)
A bounty like this is a polite "thanks asshole, fuck off, don't do it again" rate.

Paying effectively nothing for vulnerabilities just means they don't want to deal with the program.

Wild to think a company supposedly worth a $trillion+ is doing shit like this.

Do you have any reason to believe this?

This fits the NK MO to a T. It does not fit Israeli intelligence activity. Your claim rings hollow without any support.

Certain political topics bring out bots and narrative-pushing. It's very obvious with certain topics.
Re:Show HN: Steal My Bitcoin on Saturday October 24, 2026 @06:33PM (#50226107)
The value proposition isn't there.

If you reframe the perspective from 'free $500 sitting on a server' to 'requires actively utilizing an unreleased 0 day exploit on a server that will certainly be able to track exactly what was done, for a payout of... $500?'

That's pennies for something like this.

Add two zeros and it might get nabbed.

Edit: others have pointed out it's not really a 0-day anymore, they're right, so it's likely more a matter of time.

Is the CSS on the page all messed up for anyone else or just me?

Re:Sharing AI progress in mathematics on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @11:45AM (#49994471)
Strip mining is an extraordinarily appropriate metaphor.

Imagine a mine has an unknown number of rare materials. And you know the general location of a few of the most valuable spots. But you don't know what may be valuable right next to it. If the pieces that we know are valuable are suddenly gone, the incentive to mine that particular area drops considerably, dropping the chance to discover potentially brand new materials that would have been found the normal way.

Re:Sharing AI progress in mathematics on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @06:38PM (#49985149)
This is a pretty hilarious thing to read juxtaposed with AGMAI's requests.

Basically "Here you go, have fun with this, fuck all your demands, by the way we're gonna be releasing the model stay tuned!"

Re:The AI Race Just Got Awkward on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @12:32PM (#49911074)
Yes - the Chinese labs serve a market that rely on open-weight models and managed deployments, and the labs gain competitive relevance by releasing those models. The cache optimization feature they came up with required new software to utilize on the inference-end, meaning that open source software would need to be specifically updated to work with these models. It wasn't the type of advancement that they could even theoretically keep secret.
Re:Jensen Huang says AI distillation is 'competition.' on Monday September 28, 2026 @11:36AM (#49879720)
Which version are you using? Using code mode in the desktop Claude app, I do not see thinking traces at all, and I don't see any way to toggle it.
Re:Jensen Huang says AI distillation is 'competition.' on Monday September 28, 2026 @11:23AM (#49879496)
Thinking traces aren't in the Claude app (at least, not visibly). I assumed it's only available (if at all) via API.
Buddy you aren't addressing the comments that are replying to you.

You gotta stay on-topic. You keep coming up with random things to compare to that make no sense to anybody but you. Who said it was legal to say "kill the king"?

Sounds like they noticed the complaints. I'm curious to see what LLM-isms this one may have.

Re:GLM Built Its Own Inference Infrastructure on Thursday September 17, 2026 @11:05AM (#49741914)
Qwen3.8 Flash Next just released which hits that range.

Also, Deepseek V4 Flash can be run relatively well in hybrid 2-bit quantization on 128gb devices, with way better results than you'd expect for a typical 2-bit quant.

Those are currently the 'smartest' options for that memory level.

Intel shares are still up over 100% since the Trump admin invested in them and started going to bat for them.

I don't think your information is entirely accurate.

Re:The Painful Truth: The RAM Crisis Is Only Just the Beginning on Thursday September 17, 2026 @01:02AM (#49736606)
>the only reason ... is that current AI inference is unnecessarily RAM intensive

There's no indication that this will change, and every indication this will continue to grow. This is not some temporary thing. Demand is already exponentially higher than what is possible to produce, and there's no current reason to believe it has any ceiling.

Re:The Painful Truth: The RAM Crisis Is Only Just the Beginning on Thursday September 17, 2026 @12:53AM (#49736548)
I fear that, whenever consumer-facing supply finally starts to return, the opportunity cost will be priced in. Consumer RAM may end up being nearly as pricey as HBM for a while, and I don't see any reason why it would ever go back down on it's own, unless there are entirely new fab processes that don't meaningfully overlap HBM.
