Open a corporation and register as an organization. Easier way to get through.

I also had my old dev account that I used during school permanently disabled.

CEO's exist as a sink for liability. When something goes wrong, they are the fall guys, that's ultimately their job. That's why CEO compensation is generally correlated strongly to earnings and they usually have golden parachutes.

Without a CEO to fire when the business goes south, how is the board supposed to respond? Taking accountability? lmao

If you want something that displaces adenosine from your neurons you are in luck, because it already exists and is very easy to get; It's called methamphetamine

You're overthinking it. LLM's are massive scale regressors. Rhetorical techniques, cliches and memes (in the original Dawkins definition) spike the dataset and skew the data such that certain phrasings or rhetorical techniques will appear in the output in a similar ratio to what exists in the training set; however, the reality is that humans are able to change writing techniques depending on the nature of the conversation and the medium. LLM's don't have that, all of the scholastic papers, buzzfeed articles, and reddit posts factor into the output regardless of what it's writing. Meanwhile your average human can switch tone, style, and register depending on the situation and what they're writing.

I asked claude to take the above and rewrite it in it's own words and it came up with: "LLMs are essentially large-scale statistical regressors — they're built on huge volumes of text, so the rhetorical patterns, clichés, and memes (in the Dawkins sense of self-replicating cultural units) that saturate the training data show up in outputs at roughly the frequency they occur in that data.

The key limitation: a human writer naturally shifts register, tone, and style based on context — what they're writing, who it's for, the medium. An LLM doesn't really do that in the same way. Every academic paper, Buzzfeed listicle, and Reddit thread it was trained on bleeds into its output regardless of the actual writing task at hand, whereas a person adapts fluidly to the situation."

Even with the context, it still included an emdash, the rhetorical technique of threes, and "the key limitation". It's an inherent weakness of LLM's. There is no fixing it.

There is already a mathematically secure algorithm for securing a message: One Time Pad. The problem is that OTP requires that the length of the key and the length of message must be the same, which is inconvenient for large amounts of data.

So the solution is to find algos that let you use a smaller key, but the side effect is that by pigeonhole principle, your keyspace is smaller than the message space, so it MUST be insecure. The trick is to make it so that it's only insecure enough that it's infeasible to break.

an LLM would likely just converge on something like a shared prime GCD attack; basically finding private keys somewhere in their training set and then hoping that whatever keygen algo was setup incorrectly and used a shared seed.

You can create art with everything from sticks and mud to glass and air. Of course you can make art with AI.

Now if the question is, can a machine make art, well ultimately someone needed to turn the machine on and design the machine to make art, so arguably that person/people are the ones making the art.

Historically, every question of "is x art" ends up having the answer "yes". I don't know why people fall for the same thing over and over.

Start one. Unions are worker owned. You could also join the IWW.

I'm not saying you can't compare them, I'm saying it's pointless. LLM's are extremely large scale multivariate regression machines, evaluating it's output within it's own training domain is as pointless as seeing if a ball rolls downhill.

In that scenario, AI would have to be a public utility, which it is not. Private corporations have no intention to provide services for public good. If they displace a billion jobs, they'll just throw up their hands and go "we're just an Ai company guyz"

Man, this comment made me think of a Kafkaesque future where two AI lawyers and an AI Judge are stuck in an infinite loop arguing over a case, meanwhile the defendant is running around trying to get anyone in the legal system to recognize that the AI is stuck.

More than that, the entire structure of the study is pointless. They set up as a question/response and then had humans rate the response. That's literally what LLM's are trained to do, which ultimately is convincing a human to click the "I like this one better" button on it's response.

> we'll see more specialized math AI resembling StockFish soon

Heuristically weighted directed graphs? Wow amazing I'm sure nobody has done that before.

lived experience

> if i was in her position, i would shrug and hand my boss the 500 pieces of paper.

yeah honestly. If I was in that position I'd probably think it's funny and just stick the whole stack in a folder and laugh about the dumb process.

The thing is, LLM's produce better quality one-shots than any of the products that get returned from overseas ultra-budget contractors in India or SEA. I don't know what that means for Western devs, but I can tell you that the fortune 500 I work for is dialing back on contracting and outsourcing because domestic teams can do higher-quality work faster.

Interestingly that sort of research is actually what I've used Claude/Chatgpt deep research and openclaw for. If I have an idea, I get an agent to go and do some product research for me and see if there is a market, if anyone has tried it, and if there is anyone doing it.

It has unironically saved me a lot of time I would have otherwise spent going down rabbit holes.

Of the models I've found that claude doesn't gas you up as much as GPT, so for stuff like this where the answer can be "no, that's not a good idea" I usually use claude.

Why are you wondering? Any law that limits the ability of capital owners to extract wealth will be overturned, and not just from AI, that's global in every industry everywhere there are humans.

They'll just remove the "Advanced" ability in a few years once they've frog boiled people into jumping through hoops to use their phone the way they want.

It's not any different from the launch of the FSF. There's a simple solution. If you don't want your lunch eaten by a private equity firm, make sure whatever tool you use is GPL licensed.

What is it that doctors call growth at any cost? Cancer?

You buy them from a supplier.

but to answer your question honestly the supplier keeps stock of them by growing them and storing them. The original cells came from donations.

You could always extract some cells from a biopsy as well, but these guys likely just bought them from sigma or whatever the Australian lab-supply monopoly is.

I had a .fun domain that I was using to host a small project and they pulled that on me, I just let it expire and killed the project.

It would be in Canada, but our "misuse of computer" charge is overly broad and never been well tested.

It's hardly a subset. Most devs that use it have no idea how it works under the hood. If a large portion of them did, then maybe they'd cut out the "It REALLY IS THINKING!!!" posting

Ok, and?

Trying to find the amendment where you aren't allowed to advocate for your own interests.

Absolutely. I installed clawdbot for just long enough to send a single message, and it burned through almost a quarter of my session allowance. That was enough for me. Meanwhile I can use CC comfortably for a few hours and I've only hit my token limit a few times.

I've had a similar experience with opencode, but I find that works better with my local models anyway.
