How do you know which one is real?

I think they should be more concerned with public safety. If the couple asks them to stop, maybe but if they are slow to respond to those calls because of the history, they're going to get skewered when a real call comes in.

If we're going to have a use tax, I'd rather a private company own whatever I'm using.

Retaliation is different than what happens in China. In China, the DeepSeek CEO drafts a press release about Taiwan's independence and he's promptly fired and sent to prison.

If OpenAI comes out in support of _any_ political party, they may lose business from the government in the future.

I'm not arguing about a comparison here. I'm trying to correct a misconception about China that I see a lot from Western perspectives.

Everything a Chinese company does has the explicit backing of the CCP, at least ideologically and usually financially in some fashion. While DeepSeek may not be the CCP, it couldn't exist if it was expressing any kind of ideology that wasn't inline with them and, in this case, is explicitly funded by them.

A Chinese company has no freedom to say Taiwan is a country the way someone in the US could suggest California succeed from the nation.

Any public message you hear coming out of China has the implicit approval of the Chinese government.

> I think the Chinese government is backing their labs by less direct means.

It may be that the effect of the backing in both places is essentially equal but this statement is strange. The Chinese government invests directly in Deepseek[1]. Notice the article, in addition to saying the CCP is investing, says Tencent is also a major backer. CCP owns a golden share of Tencent.

A LLM, at least, prompted and served this image. LLMs can ingest images. They actually can generate them as well but that probably wasn't done here.

In the course of the conversation a with chatgpt, this image was generated and served by an LLM. It clearly shouldn't have been by any sort of reasoning.

In a way, you can think of pretty much anything we express with language, especially things that are already modeled in scientific language, or logical language, or in equations or code; to be representable in a parametric/searchable space

It's a known issue with them that they don't ever change their routing. If you connect them in a different place than you use them, you're going to have suboptimal to unusable routes.

This is a pretty solid argument against people who argue that LLMs are more than just (very massive) next token predictors.

If there was any thought or underlying thought going on here not putting a signature (at least a real one) would be the right move, despite it being less likely. It would realize, while generating the pixels that eventually became a signature, that it shouldn't do that.

Most "capital" used to be workers who risked everything they've worked for because they thought they could do a better job than their boss. People mortgage their homes to get their businesses through hard times.

It's easy to frame the owners of capital as the bad guy when you act like they are the Monopoly man but most businesses are small businesses and sole proprietorships.

> And you have a legal obligation to the shareholders to prevent that from happening at all costs.

I can't wait until this meme dies.

> The reason that I am not killing people left and right is not because it is illegal to so but because it is immoral.

And if it wasn't illegal, some immoral entity would outcompete you by killing all of their rivals (including you).

The whole point of the law is to standardize morals so immoral actors don't gain advantage.

Does he?

I wouldn't qualify bad predictions as lies. Is there really a "constant" set of lies outside of that?

That Trump hasn't been following.

It's not really a changed definition. I'm just assuming he's going to fail to win re-election in 2028.

> An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor.

Many senators aren't going to be up for election until 2030. Their allegiance to Trump due to his influence only lasts as long as he can threaten their re-election 2 years after he's an ex-president (and let's face it, he's quite old...). As I've said, we've already seen his influence fade. Just a bit, but this kind of thing goes fast once it does.

Trump's influence has been fading and history shows he'll have practically none as a lame duck. The spell is breaking. As they say, at first gradually then all at once.

Project 2025 can be anything you want it to be.

Simple, he made it up.

I couldn't even read the whole article...

> Market rents in Portland have stagnated at the same time that rent limits for government-subsidized affordable apartments have risen. That means rents for affordable housing are growing faster than the prices for market-rate apartments.

Housing is "affordable", not necessarily affordable.

Because it's a nothing statement. Everything everyone says can be categorized that way.

The shareholder part is also not correct in they way it's being implied.

Imagine re-useable missiles though...

/s because the Internet is crazy.

> You can’t scream “murder all the X” in a theatre

You actually can.

I'm against government building a scaffold to be able to block selective parts of the Internet because the block list always expands and never retracts.

donating money to the president and their party is something nearly every national corporation does. Using their corporate power to do political favors is not. those are two very different things.

Didn't I just read an article about Tesla employees not wanting to train their robot replacements?

> Obviously it's hard to predict the opinions of the dead

So we shouldn't.

But what are you throwing at it?

I've thrown a 20 year old .net 4.8 codebase that's a mixture of proprietary sdks and legacy code and LLMs choke. Building some greenfield pieces for the same application works great so far though.

I've also made some plugins for some hobby software with very limited viewing of source code that I'm very happy with.

If we're talking higher ed., expell students that use LLMs to do their assignments for them. They obviously aren't there to learn and don't belong there.

> This is because we shield children too much from reality. If they had a fire under their ass that made them realize if they don't study well, they will forever be locked into flipping burgers or being homeless, most of them would move their assess.

This seems pretty inaccurate to me at just about every turn.

The fire under their asses is for grades and a degree because they've erroneously been told they need one or else they'll be flipping burgers.

It's such a cliche thing to say but cheating at school cheats yourself of the education you could be getting but, since that's not what most people are there for, they cheat. They are there because they've been told that they need a degree to make a decent living and the degree doesn't technically require learning.
