Ah, yes, I'm sure the crap that they make up next week won't ever leak anything.

This is just the moderation fallacy, pronounced with the same kind of unearned confidence in which the moderation fallacy is usually pronounced. To put it in Godwin's terms: you're the one s…

The way I've tried to deal with it is by forcing the LLM to write code that is clear, well-factored and easy to review i.e. continually forcing it to do the opposite of what it wants to do. I…

No, the core premise of a union is to represent the interests of its members. You've confused a union with global communism, and delegimitized the ones that don't serve your interests inst…

Calls for violence are free speech. Calls for "imminent" violence that serve to coordinate it have been decided not to be. When you claim that calls for violence are not freedom of speech, i…

> "Free speech" means you have freedom from retribution from the government. No, it doesn't. The concept of "free speech" isn't limited to prior restraint, you're…

I held a hope that it would create an evolutionary pressure that would weed out people who fall for foolish arguments i.e. arguments without any sort of structure that should be capable of convincing …

I'm even shocked when I hear people are using it for better search. I've found it to be terrible for search, and constantly fabricating things. It's distilled everything that is bad abo…

> Why are cops not treated the same way? OP is right, AI is totally irrelevant in this story. It's absolutely absurd. The argument that AI is the problem is literally the people arguing agains…

No companion was like that until Sarah Jane. All companions were like that after the revival. It was decided by the person behind the revival that they would be women, never any more useful than Teaga…

No, they're cute, neurotic, complain a lot, and fall in love with the Doctor (who is a Great Man with the weight of the universe on his shoulders.) They're all Sarah Jane. There was the one …

They're a government contractor specializing in identity and a monopoly who loves not being regulated. They're really a straw donor - this is the government donating money to lobby itself. …

> Every single Linux kernel currently operating within the borders of any of these states should turn itself off and refuse to boot What exactly do you think Linux is? I would say that Linux would …

> The only way to stop this from happening is half the country refuse to buy any tech that implements OS age verification. You have consumer activist brain. Next you're going to suggest that w…

It's very important to pretend that ICE goons are significantly different from regular cops, because Democrats are going to wave a magic wand and declare ICE to be regular cops again when they ar…

You're being silly, the missile thing was hyperbole. Your computer will direct the thugs to your door. > Nobody stops the government from sending goons to your door right now for a snarky comm…

I was afraid this would never happen again. Two very good episodes, too. I just pray that we'll get to see a few more Troughton episodes. He's the doctor that set the standard that all futur…

> Realistically, those are three completely different policies in every way that matters. I think that the failure to distinguish them is due to a really childish outlook on law and government that…

I think your objections miss the point. My informal specs to a program are user -focused. I want to dictate what benefits the program will give to the person who is using it, which may include requ…

If LLMs can't deal with those legacy file formats, I don't trust them to be able to deal with anything. The idea that LLMs are so sophisticated that we have a need to dumb down inputs in ord…

> There are other solutions, utility bills in the families name, ownership/rental documents, etc. Will these cause injustice and false positives even more than license plate tracking? What is …

When you don't have a functioning government, while technology continues to advance, lobbyists and government come up with spurious reasons why previous absolute rights don't apply to almost…

> I've been feeling more and more that generative AI represents the average of all human knowledge. No, it's far worse. It's the mode of all human knowledge. The amount of effort y…

"Coincidental" means random, with no causal connection being explicitly claimed. It just means that two things share some characteristic (such as being relatives.) The thing that is coincide…

Most of these people are legitimately stupid. This article is also pretty stupid for focusing on grammar and spelling when the content of these emails is also quite moronic. I don't think Larry S…

Over some Democratic party campaign wedge issue like illegal immigrants (who I guess are the only people who should be protected from constant surveillance, so special.) They will immediately not care…

> It's extremely frustrating to see such a lack of conviction to argue this point forcefully and repeatedly. It is. You haven't argued it at all, right here. You just asserted it as if it…

I don't understand a lot of the anti-LLM venom within this specific context. Debian doesn't have to worry about stealing GPL code, so the copyright argument is nearly nil. There's still…
