Couldn’t even tell what was happening here, and the moment the page loaded it made a bunch of loud noise at me so I closed it immediately. Comments indicate it’s slop anyway.
God damn I wish titles would tell you even a little about what a page is
I don’t understand the point you are trying to make. Is it that since the person didn’t find the page they were looking for, they must be a Chinese plant?
The team should be embarrassed to work at xAI
Having ethics is not generally considered superficial. Musk is a deplorable person, and choosing not to use his CSAM generator seems like a pretty good idea.
This comments page, as so many on HN, is making me wish there was a way to slap obviously-bad-faith commenters into submission
I love it when idiots announce themselves
I would argue that “AI-generated” posters are, by definition, horrible. They can’t not be horrible because of the very nature of how they're made.
I’d rather look at the most amateurish indie posters plastered all over a wall than waste even a second looking at machine-generated nonsense.
This is the last reply you get because you’re already convinced you’re smarter than I am. Who knows, maybe you are, but disbelieving scientists sounds pretty stupid to me.
Science is peer reviewed by field experts who constantly test and develop said expertise in order to defeat their own biases, and their work backed by data. Scientists openly invite criticism and deconstruction of their work. That, nominally, is the whole point of getting your work published.
That’s a far cry from the dogmatic acceptance of faith that you’re pretending it is
Very well stated
People in this comments page who are defending the crazy rationalist sects can be safely treated as though they’re arguing in bad faith. It matters little whether they are, or if they’ve ODed on their manbaby kool-aid and truly believe their nonsense; they’re just here to waste your time.
Your LLM ain’t it, no matter how much you glaze it
I mean they did claim that pointing to science to support your position in an argument is tantamount to dogmatic faith, so I don’t think you need to worry about impugning what isn’t there
Why don’t we throw a data center off a cliff and find out
You were responding to a comment about how difficult it is to achieve an arbitrary tuning in a piano by bringing up a software piano. It’s a non-sequitur.
Alice: “I have this piano that I need to tune, but tuning pianos is very difficult and I don’t know how”
Bob: “my computer can make any note”
Why would you have a friend that does that
This is a bad faith argument and the commenter knows it
My favorite genre of hacker news comment is when someone lacks sufficient imagination to wonder why something that’s commonly used by many people is still in use
Not a piano, and not relevant to the parent remark.
My favorite similar statistic is that the average human body contains more than one human skeleton
Why is cloudflare a problem?
Are you asking if people use apps to get directions? I don’t have data to back this up, but I’d guess that nav integration is one of the most popular features of CarPlay and Android Auto.
I depend on it for road trips, navigating to unfamiliar destinations, or even just sharing ETAs with people
I’m gonna need you to explain yourself. What a strange choice
I would advocate for changing the link to the primary source, rather than a reblog of Fabian Sanglard’s original work
I trust that you can use your reading comprehension skills to understand that by referring to a famous example of LLMs producing garbage, I’m simply using it to illustrate the phenomenon at large, rather than to suggest that I am still struggling to find glue-free ways to make my pizza stringier.
If you still need help breaking down what I meant in the previous post, feel free to ask. Sentences can be tricky.
On a related note, just because Gemini doesn’t tell you to put glue in your pizza anymore, by no means implies that this particular problem is solved: https://www.404media.co/it-is-trivially-easy-to-use-reddit-t...
It makes perfect sense to me. Type in a prompt like “how can I make the cheese on my pizza stringier” and maybe it’ll tell you to use different cheeses, but maybe it’ll tell you to add glue.
If you don’t like the answer, don’t worry, they’re building more data centers in poor neighborhoods so you can keep submitting the prompt until you get a better one.
It was a red flag because artificial intelligence doesn’t exist, and anyone claiming to use it or work on it is either lying or delusional in thinking they could accomplish it.
Nowadays people just say “AI” when they mean “LLM,” which is an unrelated thing entirely, but people want people who use it.
