Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

ai fan asks chempros about their use of lying boxes: majority opinion is that this shit is useless, leaks confidential information and is a massive legal liability https://www.reddit.com/r/Chempros/comments/1hgxvsj/ai_in_the_workplace_how_have_chemistsscientists/

From the replies:
And a good sneer:
for anyone wondering cgmp/cglp means current good manufacturing/laboratory practices and it's mostly a set of paperwork concerning audits etc and repeatability of everything
Im assume a few of these good practices have been discovered after a certain price in blood was paid.
everything has to be validated, certified, calibrated, written down and accessible for audit, on top of, you know, actual physical side of good manufacturing like keeping everything clean and in spec. some of that is to control for random fuckups and some is for cover-your-ass purposes. but yeah, good couple thousand people died before it became an actual globally enforced thing
Days since last comparison of Chat-GPT to shitty university student: zero
Seriously why does everyone like this analogy?
As a person whose job has involved teaching undergrads, I can say that the ones who are honestly puzzled are helpful, but the ones who are confidently wrong are exasperating for the teacher and bad for their classmates.
good question, i have no clue especially that i wasn't like this as undergrad, it's really not hard to say "i don't know, boss" or "more experimental data is needed" and chatgpt will never say this
shitty undergrad won't probably leak confidential info either (maybe on sender side, but never on receiver side, as in receiving unexplained stolen confidential info from cosmic noise)
AI could be a viable test for bullshit jobs as described by Graeber. If the disinfotmatron can effectively do your job then doing it well clearly doesn't matter to anyone.
idk, genai can fuck up a couple of these too
It's not an exhaustive search technique, but it may be an effective heuristic if anyone is planning The Revolution(tm).
