validating twice is safe. it will not error the second time.

it is against the rules to call someone dumb on this server.


Comments, however …

;-)


It's not enough to be against Amazon. You need to be against everyone who - sells tech to the gov, - undercuts prices, - exploits employees, - lobbies for regulation.

Not to mention the real reason we hate Jeff Bezos. Because you wouldn't like it if I mentioned it.


I give up. What's the real reason you hate Bezos?


Why are partial solutions unacceptable?


Humans can also make mistakes. This is the first test I apply every time. Could it be that AI is actually more capable than a human? If industry decides than humans are more reliable, they will choose to use humans. Reliability is part of cost-effectiveness, and it's built in to the business decision process.


A human would only make up an answer like the ones in the article if it were a compulsive liar. A human would ideally say "I don't know" or at worst employ the "I'll confirm that and circle back" corpspeak evasion.


Another case of badly computed reputational loss.

That context is not of "this more than that" comparisons, but of threshold: the service must be _adequate_.

If you don't have random humans capable of providing the needed service, find them. Do not employ random agents.


The average Google user expects LLMs to be perfect and treats their responses as answer from an oracle, not just better than the average human.

It doesn't matter whether it's better than humans, the one thing that matters are the consequences of its widespread use.


@userbinator you cant seriously believe that using a machine to commit a crime will protect you from prosecution. you cant seriously be that dumb. machines have existed for longer than you have. for longer than your country has.


Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Companies are doing it right now. Self-driving cars, AI, you name it.


Another attempt to protect children from the internet? How thoughtful.


Focusing on the "worst ever" is sociopathic. These people do not want entertainment at all, they have a completely foreign agenda.


This person invented a new word to describe how OUR tech-savvy culture is lacking. This new word 'receptivity' is probably synonymous with gullibility. See how I used quotes for a quotation and not for emphasis? And fewer have it than ever before... really ? did someone measure it? Psychology is pseudoscience again.... How can I measure receptivity? Its a made up word! How can I measure it... This is a tech website... please go away. We LIKE tech, we don't want your brainwashing pseudoscience!


I'm unable to register. This is GME stonks all over again. It takes less than 1 second to process an account. There are 18,000 seconds in five hours. There must be a lot of comments that they don't agree with. Maybe they shut it down to protect humanity from extinction?


Haha, confidently incorrect. You made that up didn't you. Absolutely times infinity.


Is this true?


This is a snippet from OP site:

>SB 1047 creates an unaccountable Frontier Model Division that will be staffed by EAs with police powers, and which can throw model developers in jail for the thoughtcrime of doing AI research. It’s being fast-tracked through the state Senate. Since many cloud and AI companies are headquartered in California, this will have worldwide impact.

Of course that is scare propaganda, but when you put it with what the Federal govt is doing here[0], it makes it pretty clear that the real worry is people have access to "dangerous" information with no oversight. I can imagine policing agencies at every level getting very nervous with lone-wolf or tiny militia types getting access to information without any triggers flipping and alerting them and with no way to get any evidence if they do want to arrest them for something.

It's somewhat exaggerated, but the bill definitely creates a "Frontier Model Division" with a rather vague charter and some enforcement authority.


The evidence is the damage caused by their actions. No need to punish people for crimes that haven't occurred.


I am not making a judgement here, just stating the reasons why they would want to do it.
