How many high income individuals want to share a house with 5 strangers?

Do people get pwned by anything besides spearphishing or ads nowadays? I think ad->phish or targeted phish emails is the only shady thing I've been exposed to in like 10 years

Are you suggesting ivermectin was a safe and effective enough treatment for COVID that it would obviate the need for the vaccine?

It's more than the style, it seriously impacts the legibility of the prose. The article is seriously hard to understand because it introduces a lot of different ideas in a really weird order without a clear structure or key idea to different sections.

All of the normal AI tells plus it's very long yet nearly incoherent.

Really I use the AI every damn day at work I don't get how people can't recognize instantly if something is completely AI, AI with light proofreading, or human written.

I would call this as AI with very light proofreading.

The idea is really neat and there's probably an answer here related to last standing vs kills vs "scoring" (some combination of the 2?) but the article is nearly incoherent because the author did not feel like proofreading their slop

In context it's funny, and that's what counts.

> "I avoided implementing this correctly because of migration concern for existing installations of this code I'm writing right now"

This one grinds my gears so bad, probably 1/4 of my job at this point is telling an LLM (either in my own editor or in review comments for someone's MR) "how about we do this right _before_ merging it, eh?".

Or:

foo = abc

<Maybe 4-10 lines of code>

if foo != None:

    ...

In my experience giving it "rules" not to do this does nothing, but a separate pass (could be by a different model but really just fresh context is enough) does okay

No they aren't overlooking it. They literally call out the additional net value created (i.e. iPhone hw sales), and then call out that to make the enormous amounts that they do make, they also crib value from others (i.e. app store).

You can argue that the app store and vetting process itself is worth up to or over 30% (i.e. they are giving value away, not extracting it), but they make a clear distinction.

the famed triple negative (also tofu is healthy and delicious)

It's one of the richest food cultures in the world. If you've never tried sichuan peppercorn on mapo tofu, or pickled mustard greens on noodle dishes, I think you're in for a real treat.

These do involve foods from China though..

If we're discussing pedagogy, hearing a word and repeating it with a human judging your pronunciation is miles better than IPA.

> A frontier LLM operationalizes knowledge into interactive capability

An interactive capability to slopblog on politics and censorship it seems :P

More seriously, while I think it can be interesting to consider issues by talking to an LLM like this, I can't imagine posting that on the internet for the whole world to see.

It's so embarrassing.

I think the dirty secret is that a lot of it is not "1/2 the price that lasts 1/4 the time" but "1/4 the price that lasts 9/10 the time" or "1/2 the price for the exact same product without half of the budget going to marketing".

It's not all of it. Some things are seriously worse quality. But really a ton of the "better quality" is just better marketing.

I know I'm not supposed to complain, and you are all free to flag this comment, but i actually cannot believe i got downdooted for calling out Garry Tan's slop racebaiting

Crazy even Garry Tan can't write his own opinion blogs anymore

It's poorly structured. I think a better split between technical vs social measures and how they interact would result in a much better article. It also doesn't seem to even mention DPI or great firewall of China as prior art.

> society has decided to stop jailing (committing) the homeless

> leaving them on the street is not helping them. committing them would give them access to (force upon them) care, and is the more humane thing to do

> I'm not convinced that involuntary incarceration will actually fix the problem

> doesn't that pretty much "fix the problem"?

Which problem? Every misunderstanding is someone replying to someone else without knowing who was replying to whom

That issue looks like it was filed 3 months ago and there has been active development debugging and trying to fix it the whole time?

I dunno, at mag7 i see painful infra bugs sitting on the vine for years... maybe my bar is low, but that bug looks like a good response

I believe it's because in many cases, the unspoken follow on to "inequality is the norm" is "and so it's useless (or actively harmful) to try to defy that norm."

Not that above commentator is meaning that.

But many "thought leaders" i.e. Jordan Petersen play around with similar motte-and-bailey - "hierarchies are natural" (examples with lobsters, apes, whatever) --> "existing hierarchies should be preserved" (not defended in the argument but implied).

Probably some downvoters are reacting to the structural similarity, although taken in good faith i think above commenter makes a fine point about the historical pattern of periods of equality being short lived and brought about by great intentional effort while sliding back to inequality seems to occur all of the time.

I do see how your comment is similar to AI writing (a couple other comments explain) but it did NOT set off my AI trigger. I think it's just clear writing.

I think you could make a better argument for nativism than "its been that way for millenia" and "it's common sense". Warring tribes were also around for millenia and were probably quite common sense.

Most people consider the modern state, society, etc, to be an improvement. Many people also consider not questioning people's loyalties by their surnames, to be an improvement, even though I'm sure it was common sense for a long time.

> Would you say the same if the people involved had names that sounded more Caucasian but from a similarly rival nation?

If the people had Russian names instead and top commenter said:

>US Nationals

><Russian names>

it's still racist, yes.

> I don’t think top commenter is racist.

I won't make any claims about the commenter. I'll criticize their implication that people with foreign sounding names are not "real Americans" though.

You can use this argument to support literally anything:

> claim: these people have Chinese names, are they REALLY Americans??

> response: suspecting "true allegiance" based on peoples names is racist and was used to justify atrocities like Japanese internment in our country's history

> rebuttal to response: "art of being a Good Person these days, is never admitting that you know or suspect this, even if you've seen & heard it yourself."

Instead of defending the claim you're just claiming you're being censored.

Is this saying anything besides casual racism?

This is also how I see it, and honestly it is hard to understand it any other way. In the current year, it seems very clear that governments can get away with incredible debt spending, as long as it's mostly in the right direction.

I was looking, thank you!

> I sometimes wonder what the consequences would be of stipulating that patents had to be uniformly licensed to all interested parties without exception.

Isn't this the definition of FRAND which nearly the entire interview with the lawyer from the article is about?
