It's really hard for start ups to compete for VC money: "Hello Mr. VC I'm going to burn your money for buzzword" just no longer works, first openAi has an industrial buzz word generator, second their money burning plan scales much better than my money burning plan.
Yeah but they aren't a diversified portfolio of money burning plans and that's the real secret to responsible investing. I think Warren Buffet said that.
I already have 0 videos on youtube home screen, some combination of not being logged in, firefox privacy settings and ad blocker causes youtube to post a passive aggressive message and a search bar. I kinda like that Ui.
Half the time I read the stories they're just a thinly disguised ad for some flavor the day SaaS, so at least in this instance the hook was somewhat useful. Now if everyone uses this to shill their SaaS, then maybe not.
Maemo was an actual GNU/Linux, not just kernel with custom userland. Logging into a cluster from my N900 and having plots just appear on screen thanks to X network transparency is still one of the most futuristic things I have ever seen a computer do.
Pretty sure bullshitting is pretty universal. In particular the pattern were I, the mighty expert, insist that only I, the mighty expert, can decode the meaning of those deceptive others, and therefore you, the gullible rube, has to give me all your money so that I, the mighty expert, can keep you, the gullible rube, save from those deceptive foreigners.
i found it more interesting to consider through the perception of self-honesty or self-deception.
or in this case, the llm inadvertently trained to conceal its intent to the user and rather to condition the user to the conclusion it truly wants rather than to answer directly
Sounds really like a development environment problem, I mean if you can't handle that your language suddenly changes it's name in a not backward compatible fashion, how do you ever stand a chance to handle leap seconds correctly?
The Windows 98 license actually did forbid using Windows in nuclear power plants (along with other high risk areas). That was due to some interaction with the Java license and I always considered it a very fortunate fluke.
I’m sure it’s printed out and put in a 3-ring binder, but why wouldn’t the instructions for “what to do when the primary coolant loop pressure drops” be in a Word document somewhere?
In all seriousness, it’s only a matter of time before an LLM makes a critical error in language-translating (or even being used to write) a reference manual for an industrial process, and escapes the attention of regulators. One can only hope that that process is not nuclear…
I’m not sure we’ll notice an increase of these kinds of things. There was a case well before AI where a process chemist replaced propylene glycol with ethylene glycol in over-the-counter medicine and a bunch of people died.
Reminder, there is no cloud, there is just computers of other people. And I for one support those other people's right to do on their computers what they want.
I would. The original sin of Unicode is really their manifold idea, at that point they stopped trying to write a string standard and started to become a kinda general description of how string standards should look like and hopefully string standards that more or less conform to this description are interoperable if you remember which direction "string".decode() and "string".encode() is.
The phrasing the court uses is precisely the one used in the German constitution to allow restricting basic rights for political reasons. Though the court uses "probably against the constitution" in German and Germany's law is not as directly case law as in the US, the court ruling is still saying that being a Marxist "probably" warrants suspension of the constitution and only in the specific instance of a long running reading group who are otherwise harmless basic rights may be granted.
