> I would never advise anyone do, like put sensitive information in a system prompt and make it available to the open internet

So your product can never assist with a company chatbot / AI support rep who needs access to customer data or internal company info?

What's the point of your product if you don't facilitate sensitive data in system prompts?

bofadeez··on Is My Blue Your Blue?
Sounds like psychometrics is unsuitable for modeling this problem, according to what you're saying. When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Better spend more then. I'm in favor of 99.99% of GDP personally.

Let's do a study on whether it's generally painful to touch a hot stove with an unprotected hand. I know it sounds obvious but that's the spirit of science! No, I haven't suffered a head injury, I think this is a good idea!

I guess this is useful for individuals who suffer from extreme autism and have trouble understanding social interactions. Which to be fair is a huge percentage of HN user base.

Talk about a growth industry

I think that's a very creepy cultish point of view. You can easily be manipulated by corrupt science you don't have a PhD level understanding in. Why do you distrust your intuition? I would reference the book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (outlines how mental processes work rapidly and automatically from relatively little information... strengths of the adaptive unconscious in expert judgment)

Which pundits are you talking about? Whether that's true or false has no bearing on the truth value of the discussion. You're not adding anything except emotional expressions about how you personally feel. That's not relevant to whether DEI fundamentally discriminates on the basis of race or not.
bofadeez··on The Power of Attraction: How Beauty Influences Startup Investments
In this case, common sense is only verified. Whose intuition has been disproved?

A monkey could literally confirm this idea. So it fails at the very value proposition you're offering. It's at very least an unremarkable study, right?

There's no information or content in your reply.

Of course. VCs exist to generate profit for themselves. They should fund whoever they think will help them get a ROI. Otherwise they can just stop risking their capital and go chill out on a beach instead. They don't exist to give a fair shot to everyone who deserves it.

Facial symmetry and body proportions that would indicate health and suitability for reproduction.

You mean affirmative action and DEI based discrimination?

Why do we need a study to explain common sense to adults?
bofadeez··on Fluoride at twice the recommended limit is linked to lower IQ in kids
Yeah that's the whole point. Who thought teeth? lol
bofadeez··on I'm tired of fixing customers' AI generated code
It's people who generally don't have any other skills and reject all evidence for Efficient Market Hypothesis. They legitimately think what they're doing is not gambling. No amount of empirical evidence can convince them they have no risk-adjusted alpha
bofadeez··on How we communicate signals seniority
It's foolish to judge someone from a single statement. Give them something to do and see how it works out.
