And it will affect good engineers and turn them into worse engineers too

AI benefits rely on these good engineers having 5, 10, 20 years of experience pre-AI designing (and fully, thoroughly understanding) these systems. What's going to happen to that engineering skill after 15 years of AI use?

>Products/companies that no longer exist because OpenAI, or AI in general, made them obsolete

What would you place here anyways? Chegg and Stack Overflow?

There aren't a lot of highly technical audiobooks or ones that give the same specificity that would be the same as an academic paper

What is meant by "cools down quicker"?

Will near-boiling water drop 10 temperature points in a shorter time than the warm water? Yes.

Will it reach 10C faster than the warm water? No.

Not the original reply, but I support the correction here. Regardless of how pedantic/nitpicking it seems, I remember getting confused about this a lot when learning digital signal processing. Simply because its really easy to upsample.. or look at an upsampled result and get confused by that

It's a completely grotesque point you've got. Tiles are advertised as used for personally tracking your devices. To the average person its the same technology as a Bluetooth earbud. Not a device for tracking at a central whatever 100 companies want that data.

And for 2... thats completely irrelevant. "More or less"? So... a hundred of millions of tiles still out there is "more or less"?

The task of helping to find wording that conveys your thoughts could mean several methods. It could mean you one-shot reword prompts and that helps you find wording. Or it could mean you're taking its output more substantially. Or you're going back and forth where the LLM is suggesting and you're suggesting too. It's incredibly vague what portion of "helping" the LLM is doing!

Whereas "search" implies (to me) a kind of direct and analytical process of listing and throwing out brainstormed suggestions, like you would with a search engine.

When I read the human version I actually get a sense of what that process looks like, and the LLM response definitely clouds or changes it by focusing on the result instead.

Sure, but even the specific case isn't about TOS within the limits of screen time or online browsing. It's about tracking your physical location via Tile trackers. Sure, you can get off streaming services, but you're still signing a TOS or waiver by using any service. Meta/Google/etc has a profile on you even if you've never logged in based on others sharing their contacts and pictures that may include you.

It is

The problem is that this becomes a race to the bottom of actual quality and turns into advertising.

Sponsored reviews of products are basically this. If you are paying a reviewer for a stamp of approval and the reviewer sets the bar too high, why would you want to pay that reviewer? On the other end of the reviewer, it's easy to get more money by providing that stamp of approval to more people--not fewer--so they're incentivized to make it fairly easy to achieve.

Ideally, yes? Or a reference ticket number pointing to that discussion

The main limitation is the human effort to compile that information, but if the LLM already has the transcript ready, its free

"LLMs are good at [task I'm not good enough at to tell the LLM is bad at]" is becoming common

I don't get the point of this argument. Yes, the people who buy pinhole cameras are creeps too

980 items being shipped then destroyed versus 1000 items being destroyed.

It's 980(x+y) instead of 1000(x)

I have no knowledge of the tradeoffs, but I might also imagine that the method of destruction could be worse: incineration vs landfill vs thrown in the ocean, etc

Except being destroyed locally in a controlled or regulated process and shipped to be destroyed overseas with more relaxed regulations are not equal footprint wise

AI is a big driver of literal direct physical corruption. Language and knowledge is forever tainted because of an outpouring of AI generated spam. Evaluating resumes is more difficult now because you can't tell real impacts versus fabricated hallucinations. Open source projects are overwhelmed with AI generated PRs...

Any corruption is emboldened by AI, it's a catalyst of the problem, doesn't seem anywhere close to potentially being a fix

The breeze is more like a 2 ton harvester expertly engineered to knock your tree down.

What's stopping the price from being extremely low? Plenty might pay $1 to take a bundle of 1000 items of clothing, pick through it and find 20 items they like, then destroy the 980 other items.

Not quite when you are burning a ton of fuel to ship them overseas to arrive in the burn pit.

Maybe, but it could also just be self promotion by the owner of this 'agent'. They've set it up to contribute to a bunch of open source big projects. They probably want the ability to say "I've contributed XX PRs for large open source projects"

I think most of it is them not having a way to know if the contribution was completely autonomous or directed by a human.

So they're defaulting to being as explanatory as possible because they don't want to give a rudely abrupt reply even if the poster is abusing AI

That post also looks suspiciously like AI slop

Sure, but the ID solution is an "if everyone just gives up their privacy / anonymity / sensitive data" and the mechanism is by denial of service

In fact its worse. Every site must also implement this security check. Or everyone must agree to just use sites and services that follow this policy. Otherwise anyone can just use another, often 'less safe' website.

The above post is an example of the LLM providing a bad description of the code. "Local first" with its default support being for OpenAI and Anthropic models... that makes it local... third?

Can you provide examples in the wild of LLMs creating good descriptions of code?

What speed are you getting at that level of hardware though?

I don't understand the critique. Nobody has ever made these claims.

I don't mean this as an ad hominem, but was this comment generated with AI or something?

Where can I find information on self-hosting models success stories? All of it seems like throwing tens of thousands away on compute for it to work worse than the standard providers. The self-hosted models seem to get out of date, too. Or there ends up being good reasons (improved performance) to replace them

Obviously this would never work with a single employer. But I think the point is moreso that if every employer, in an altruistic sense, decided to pay their employees enough to afford more purchasing power, the entire market would grow faster

in that case, why not summarize the previous chapters and then include that as context to the next chapter?

The amount doesn't really matter. What matters is the variance. There could be only 3 radiologists in the world that use different practices with 1% 10% and 50% error rates. It would be misleading to say "Radiologists miss 50% of diagnoses" based on one practice.

The assumption when gathering these statistics is that more or less you can average these out, but with AI you might have a model with literal 100% error rate or a model with a much lower error rate, and that changes a lot depending on the AI method its using.
