dansquizsoft··on Frontier AI on Your Own Hardware
> Junior (future): - AI1 design for cost. AI2 eval for performance. AI3 align for business goals. AI4 criticize AI1 and AI2 using top standards. AI5 set up a competing swarm. AI6 here's a budget, spend on real users and action on telemetry and their feedback.

Ugh, please no, why isn't these instructions in the system prompt of the harness if they are so valuable to the junior's work...?

> The danger is when/if people selectively choose studies

This, in itself, assumes that all studies / papers are equally as good and methodologically sound, which is not a true assumption.

> But more often, the “fact” does not address the individual’s issues,

I feel like this has been a big failing of one (left) side of politics in recent years. Quick to state 'facts' as arguments but those haven't landed as well as they have in the past (15 - 20+ years ago), for whatever reasons...

And there were some wild economic arguments made and accepted in support of this at the time...

Not sure what any of your reply here, whilst true, has to do with my original comment.

Google is not being dumb or making some 4D strategic move by not going after coding capabilities.

Occam's Razor is overwhelmingly that they just don't have the organisational capability to capture this market. If they did then they absolutely would have.

The market craves good AI experiences... But that doesn't mean Apple is capable of delivering it at this stage.

I just don't think they have it in them to be a leader in a new, experimental tech like this.

They took like 7 years to come out with a foldable iPhone remember - lol!

Cute of you to think a LLM won't be influenced by upsells...

> He also didn't say it would be "solved". He said in 2025 it would be writing almost all the code "in 12 months", but that it would also still need programmers to guide and manage it at that point. People always leave off the end of his quote.

And this is actually, scarily, true...

dansquizsoft··on Dario, Please
How do you know that your non-misaligned LLM is non-misaligned?

Ha! Regulation has not really ever kept up with technology... For fundamental reasons.
dansquizsoft··on AI Robots – When will they be in our homes
Wow... This site is the equivalent of a child's picture book...
dansquizsoft··on AI Robots – When will they be in our homes
Yeah its wild how primitive this aspect of them is (at least it appears to be to a casual observer...)

> I also don't like to add further things that require electrical power, and/or that make noise, etc.

I mean, the OP's argument is concerning negative effects that may be hidden or obscured by the suppliers of such robots.

Your comment regarding their use of electricity and that they make noise - well that's kind of obvious... Nobody is forcing you to buy these robots.

Diablo 3, no, it was horrible

The rest you've mentioned were bangers in their own ways however.

dansquizsoft··on Apple Watch Series 12
Am super salty about them killing support for the original Apple Watch Ultra. I, along with many others, bought it on launch day as both an Apple tragic / early adopter and to support what I thought was going to be an exciting new platform.

Instead we barely got a new feature over the 4 years since it launched, and now its been killed (from a software support pov) way ahead of schedule of the vast majority of other Apple devices.

For shame.

Esp for Samsung as they don't have a consumer PC division that they would be concerned about killing...
