Would be great if we could automatically tag posts that contain a certain level of AI content. If the author couldn’t be bothered to write it in their own words, I can’t be bothered to read it, and at best will have an AI summarize it instead.
Turns out only one of the major platforms banned this account…
It’s still the go-to platform for public figures to broadcast unfortunately, so if you want to verify the original comments you need an alternate frontend or an X account.
Interesting that they were inspired by Invidious (alternative YouTube frontend). That’s another project that could use some love. Hopefully AI coding tools can do some good and make it easier for these projects to find ways into the walled gardens and work around the counter measures.
Waiting for the day all the social networks allow api access and become usable again. Maybe we can call it “agent first” to help move things along.
Much more rigorous explanation: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/tarski-truth/
This isn’t to say that the purpose of Christianity is to fix these social problems, but it’s easy to forget how central generosity and compassion are to the Christian message. “Money Cult” by Chris Lehmann is a good exploration of how American Christianity corrupts these truths.
Anthropic does not support a ban on open models, except for any models that aren’t closed.
While the article is focused on “low level” bugs, the key insight is that human understanding has limits, and bugs show up when the human is overconfident in their understanding, and unwilling to verify the code by running it on a sample of test cases. This does seem to help explain why “high level” bugs occur, where the reality somehow doesn’t match the assumption. Maybe a dependency is on the wrong version, a global variable isn’t initialized in certain cases, etc.
In a world of LLMs producing code that isn’t always understandable to humans, it does raise the question of how to enforce that AI code is bug free, and maybe forcing coding agents to stick to human abstractions is the missing piece.
Set a timer for 50 minutes…always get a timer for 15.
Time is more valuable than money and unless you have tons of time and space that simulator is just an expensive paperweight.
A simple fix I use for AI writing is disclosing it. Here, a simple note that “this article was translated with AI assistance” would have made it much less distracting.
