They are a useful tool when you understand their shortcomings. They are very inconsistent, so you need to put a lot of guardrails around them.

I don’t really understand how people manage to be productive with swarms of agents. They really need to be babysat IME. I’m constantly waffling between arriving at correct solutions quickly and getting stuck in a tar pit of hallucinated problems and fake analysis.

That said, I’ll be upset when the AI companies inevitably start raising prices or nerfing models.

Nobody with normal vision both looking at the same original picture claims the blue part is white.

Doesn’t matter what context I view the original image. I’ve never seen it as blue and black without manipulating the image.

Wow. You are just proving my point. It looks white and gold to me.

We have proof that people don’t see colors the same way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

I get that you’re upset. We all are. But it’s not time to just let shit slide without even mentioning it.

It is almost always that.

So Trump threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure. Isn’t that a war crime?

It has a very recognizable rhythm and tempo.

The problem isn’t that he doesn’t care about the law. It’s that our justice dept and congress don’t either.

I’m talking specifically about the variant of RL used by systems like AlphaGo.

Wdym? It’s existed for at least a decade. Plenty of papers about it. It mastered Atari and Mario. It became the best Go player.

LLMs might suck at this game but I’m pretty sure Deepmind’s deep reinforcement learning AI could solve these easily.

EDIT: I know you guys hate AI around here, but you need to at least be aware of what the technology is capable of.

It’s illegal.

The War Powers Resolution is a defensive exception to the rule:

The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

Actually Congress is voting against stopping the illegal war that they never declared in the first place.

I think it would be reasonable to consider reparations for individual descendants of slaves. There are plenty of people alive today that can prove their descendance from a slave.

Reparations to entire countries in Africa seems a bit absurd to me.

and it happens exactly as the people whose claim is being denied with “slippery slope” fallacy said

But this is the crux of the fallacy. What evidence is anyone providing that there is indeed an insidious chain of events we are enabling by adding the birthdate field? Are there examples of cases similar to this in history?

EDIT: I can tell people are getting emotional about this because I’m being down voted for just asking a question that elaborates the point someone is making.

Whistles aren’t doing jack. We need a general strike. Stop proposing distractions from real solutions.

This list of bullshit features does zilch to address users complaints about software quality. They are truly clueless.

I’m thinking seriously about using something like a Daylight tablet as a thin client for a more powerful machine at home. Obviously doing real coding by hand would still suck, but LLM-based coding might actually be viable.

Yes absolutely. Also not a historian, but AIUI that’s probably the largest factor in the overall boom for the US economy at the time.

I didn’t mean to claim that the US was ever a peaceful nation. The best I could say is that the US sat out from the world wars until they had both (1) a way to sell war to the public and (2) a clear financial interest. Post-WWII, every US war has been a bullshit war.

I also don’t mean to sound positive about capitalism. My only real point was that for a brief period, (white) workers actually had an OK social contract with the ruling class. It didn’t last long at all in the grand scheme, and was probably a fluke, not real evidence that capitalism works.
