Re:The Unity CLI: manage Unity from your terminal on Thursday July 23, 2026 @01:23PM (#49025147)
I already am managing Unity from my terminal, using Codex. Although one issue is that PowerShell + C# reflection gets flagged as malware by Windows Defender.
How would it prevent an agent from writing a script that discovers the secret file? It's not magic.

They also shut down Ryujinx at the same time by simply pressurimg the creator. So it was just an excuse they used.
This is the biggest lesson I got from LMMs. I have a 1 million LOC vibe coded project that I can only imagine would fit in a few hundred thousand lines. But it's still holding up, I expected some kind of development collapse long before this point.
If that's in API price, they may be better of with the subscription.

I don't think the bug is anything special, just another confusion the model can make from it's own context. Even if the harness correctly identifies user messages, the model still has the power to make this mistake.
DeepSeek would print all it's mental gymnastics to censor itself in the reasoning phase directly to the user, before shutting down the conversation. Apparantly such an odd move is a thing in China.
Re:Why AGI Will Not Happen on Wednesday December 10, 2025 @10:36AM (#46218881)
General Intelligence has already been demonstrated to be possible by the human brain, so I don't really get how physicality is an argument against AGI. Who is to say biological computers won't be built?
LLMs can actually make up for their negative contributions. They could go through all the references of all papers and verify them, assuming someone would also look into what gets flagged for that final seal of disapproval.

But this would be more powerfull with an open knowledge base where all papers and citation verifications were registered, so that all the effort put into verification could be reused, and errors propagated through the citation chain.

Re:What the interns have wrought, 2025 on Friday August 29, 2025 @07:46AM (#45062793)
I was curious what kind of company needed to develop all these different kinds of advanced tech. Turns out it's just so they can be sneaky and trade shares quickly. Kind of sad IMO.
Re:I deleted my second brain on Saturday June 28, 2025 @04:17AM (#44403071)
We just entered the era where LLMs could mine his gems for him though.
You have been a bad user. Bing has been a good Bing.
Re:Evolving OpenAI's Structure on Monday May 05, 2025 @06:17PM (#43899985)
You can literally today prompt ChatGPT with API instructions to drive a car, then feed it images of a car's window outlooks and have it generate commands for the car (JSON schema restricted structured commands if you like). Text can represent any data thus yes, it is general.
Re:Nintendo Bled Atari Games to Death on Wednesday April 16, 2025 @09:39AM (#43705415)
At least they had trials back then. Switch emulators last year simply got intimidated to abandon their projects.
There was another concept trying to operate on a logical view of the world, called copyright. It tried to establish a few simple rules, with the goal to promote art and science. However copyright was long ago perverted by capitalism to instead promote corporate profits.

Generative AI exposes how broken copyright law is, and how much reform is needed for it to serve either it's original or perverted purpose.

I would not blame generative AI as much as I would blame the lack of imagination, forethought and indeed arrogance among lawmakers, copyright lobbyists and even artists to come up with better definitions of what should have been protected.

Those Russians have their own government to blame, which in addition to stealing Ukrainian land has stolen assets of Western companies, including billions in planes. They are legitimized in overthrowing their poor leadership.

Re:YouTube is letting people being scammed on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @01:33AM (#41922111)
YouTube literally allows trading scams into their ad program, which they force onto users through their terms of service. This is far worse, as naive users may think that YouTube has vetted those ads.

Re:Terence Tao on O1 on Saturday September 14, 2024 @07:03PM (#41543770)
One good use case is unit tests, since they can be trivial while at the same time being cumbersome to make. I could give the LLM code for React components, and it would make the tests and setup all the mocks which is the most annoying part. Although making "all the tests" will typically involve asking the LLM again to think of more edge cases and be sure to cover everything.
Re:The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Can Be Cleaned for $7.5B on Monday September 09, 2024 @11:06AM (#41489211)
Just take 10% of the Russian war economy to clean the garbage patch, then we would have double the money fro Ukraine weapon savings!
That's a lot of thinking they've done about LLMs, but how much did they actually try LLMs? I have long threads where ChatGPT refine solutions to coding problems. Their example of losing the thread after printing a tiny list of 10 philosophers seems really outdated. Also it seems LLMs utilize nested contexts as well, for example when it can break it' own rules while telling a story or speaking hypothetically.
From what I heard Crowdstrike just updated their DB file, which means the bug was alreadyq there, waiting for someone to trigger it with a "low risk" quick roll out.
Re:OpenAI and Scarlett Johansson's Voice on Thursday May 23, 2024 @11:58AM (#40456351)
"out of respect" for the angry woman rather than argue with her, you never had this problem with a wife/girlfriend?
Re:OpenAI and Scarlett Johansson's Voice on Thursday May 23, 2024 @11:48AM (#40456214)
Because it follows the legal principle of innocent untill proven guilty? Unlike the "OpenAI must have cloned Scarlett Johansson's voice" wild dystophia speculations.
You could also ask: If Scarlett has a legal case already, why does she want legislation passed?
Re:GPT-4o on Tuesday May 14, 2024 @06:03AM (#40353454)
Well, when you inquire someone why they don't want to have more children, they can shrug and say "population reduction is good for the climate" as ig serving the greater good, and completely disregard any sense of "patriotic duty" to have more children like some politicians such as Vladimir Putin, would like to instill. They can justify it just as easily as you can be derranged enough to call it a governemnt conspiracy.
Re:Sweden Is a NATO Member on Thursday March 07, 2024 @12:26PM (#39631717)
Look how many million Russians died during World War 2. Why didn't they surrender to Nazi Germany? You should go lecture Russia with your wisdom.
