There is a footnote in the article does the math. It concludes, "power is no more than about 1% of revenue."

I could see actually using this…

No problem. We can have AI do it.

And the side benefit is that we could summarily execute one every once in a while for failing to write secure code.

Doubting if a random quote is correct is understandable given how often the training data has explanations that random quotes from famous people aren’t real. But it isn’t intelligent to proclaim that when you have the internet as a resource.

Nobody that I know would do this.

I don’t get it. It sounds like you are claiming the article image is not AI slop, but rather an old print. But then you link to something that isn’t even remotely like the article image.

No. It is not intelligent at all to confidently assert false things you know nothing about, and humans don’t do this outside of compulsive liars. For example…

A few days ago I asked ChatGPT where a Spurgeon quote came from. Response:

“That quote is widely attributed to Charles Spurgeon, but pinning down an exact sermon or written source is surprisingly difficult—and that’s a red flag.

Short answer There’s no well-attested primary source (sermon, lecture, or publication) where Spurgeon clearly says that exact wording.” Etc. etc. … Why it sounds like Spurgeon It fits his theology and rhetoric almost perfectly: • etc etc. … Closest authentic themes (but not the quote) Spurgeon repeatedly says things like: • etc etc. … So the quote is basically: a modern condensation of real Spurgeon ideas, not a verifiable citation etc. etc.”

Utter bullshit. One web search produces the full sermon manuscript with the quote.

One could argue that the previous context in the thread primed the LLM to fail here, but once again, a person is not confused by the change of topic.

Wow. I really like this, but I want it to support non-dairy options.

Flour absolutely matters. Some flours are very “thirsty.” Having thirsty flour and compressing it during measurement makes for way too dry cookies, pancakes, etc. We’ve experienced this multiple times in our house.

That makes absolutely no sense. As the previous comment pointed out, turning around is not treating it seriously. If you are trying to save face in the extremely unlikely event that it is real, then the only thing you can do is head to the nearest airport.

Literally no pilot ever has been able to know that no other threat was going on.

The public didn’t even learn the most searched term from the market. The public had a better idea it might be “d4vd” from the market, but only slightly before they learned it for real from Google.

What I can’t figure out is why this person is being charged but the companies running the bets are not.

So the solution is to have blurry text?

Most paper in Books isn’t pure white. Leave the text completely black.

Lack of agency in your work is one of the main contributors to burnout.

When costs are high enough, you can recoup that, if you have an appetite for risking the downturn.

This is the reason that people felt like Apple should be treated as a monopoly, though. The switching cost is high, and the benefits you lose are large. So people put up with it, in spite of being upset.

The switching cost is not high for LLMs as far as I can tell.

That’s like saying screw manufacturers are incentivized to give you crappy screws because it means you will buy more.

No. You will switch to a competitor that does a better job or charges less or both.

This is why monopolies are such a big problem. Because under a monopoly you are right.

Punishment should never be automated.

Except often the prompt is just the previous comment. In the example, the prompt would be "Should we use Redis or Memcached?"

In that case, there is nothing beneficial about the prompt, but the answer could be boiled down to a useful recommendation (from an AI, not a person).

The blackmail thing was way before Mythos.

They tried to scare everybody about misalignment with the “blackmail” example, but DeepSeek v4 pro is out now and it is at least as powerful as the model they were training at the time. And nothing bad has happened.

graveyard.ai is still open.

> airlines often have their own cargo/courier service which they can easily use for delivery

That is indeed convenient. But not quite as convenient as having your own self-driving cars you can use for delivery.

It was a recording. I dare you to ask for it.

Pennies? Their devices have famously high margins.

The legal situation is also completely different. It seems like models IP-wash, so there is nothing legally wrong with what current people are doing with ai. In contrast, the scammer selling your photo was clearly violating IP law, and you could (at least theoretically) pursue legal remedies.

Isn't it also related to wanting images to appear how we would see them in person? Our eyes blur everything we aren't looking at directly, don't they?

No. It says much more than that, because it applies to many other tools that aren't AI.

I read once (so no idea if it is true) that in voice lessons, one of the most effective things you can do to improve people's technique is to tell them to pretend to be an opera singer.

It can help make a specific command more emphatic in my experience. I SAID DON"T $($@#(&$ DO THAT! Sometimes you need a new context, but sometimes you need to emphasize something is serious.

I refuse to go to McDonalds anymore because they refuse to acknowledge you, won’t take your order, force you to use those stupid terminals.
