Why are we here? Just to suffer?

I don't know why, but it still amazes me how fast some people have went full crackhead with LLM's:

Broke: The METR studies are the best research on impacts of AI productivity available today.

Woke: The METR studies are hot garbage.

Bespoke: Both. It's both.

You have a level of faith in humanity that is completely unwarranted.

Groan, you don't need to finish high school to learn about false dichotomy.

Joke's on him, Know-Nothing Know-It-All is also a trope.

the model was supposed to be trained solely on his own art

much simpler models are practically impossible to train without an existing model to build upon. With GenAI it's safe to assume that training that base model included large scale scraping without consent

"The Camp of the Saints is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail. A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world."

More of a train whistle than a dog whistle this one.

Man I don't need to be reminded of the sorry state of meat alternatives.

It's bitterly funny to me that fashoid governments started banning cultivated meat as if the economic and technical issues weren't enough. Ignorants terrified of threats they made up in their head as always.

That article gave me a whiplash. First part: pretty cool. Second part: deeply questionable.

For example these two paragraphs from sections 'problem with code' and 'magic of data':

“Modular and interpretable code” sounds great until you are staring at 100 modules with 100,000 lines of code each and someone is asking you to interpret it.

Regardless of how complicated your program’s behavior is, if you write it as a neural network, the program remains interpretable. To know what your neural network actually does, just read the dataset

Well, "just read the dataset bro" sound great sounds great until you are staring at a dataset with 100 000 examples and someone is asking you to interpret it.

I am neither left nor right wing, as I’m a libertarian

Ah, yes, the classic "I'm not like the other girls" of politics.

Automattic... that's why there are two t's!? Jesus Christ.
