If the output of an LLM can be influenced by the highest bidders, it’s no longer useful to me.

Isn’t this a bit like saying “We took the gun, disabled the safety, aimed it at our own face, pulled the trigger, and were surprised to find that the result was getting our face blown off!”?

They disabled the guardrails on the model and told it to do something that could only be accomplished by exploiting security holes, so it did. Why is that surprising or even interesting?

Same here. I flip flop between them. Most people I know who have access to both, technical or not, are doing the same. They’re just too close and sometimes one does what you want better than the other.

Clearing LLMs out of our business infrastructure is going to be a massive undertaking. Though I have a tech background, I work in commercial real estate. We are recently seeing new levels of idiocy from the employees, including real estate brokers with zero tech knowledge "coding" solutions to find sites for clients and blindly trusting the output (which I came to find out was complete bullshit), as well as some who have literally stopped communicating with any of their own language - meaning every interaction they have with anyone not in person is made by an LLM. It's a massive threat to our brand and has got to stop. I can't imagine what companies with thousands or tens of thousands of employees who have really been riding the LLM train are going to have to deal with. This thing is more of a virus that exploits human laziness than actual useful tech.

I get it - you're a kratom addict looking for validation.

My post started with "My opinion is", and it was not edited or changed at any time.

Kratom does have a severe negative effect on memory, BTW.

Most leaf you buy from leaf vendors is fermented to some degree in the country of origin. My point stands - Feel Free does not contain extracts. The difference you may notice is more likely from the addition of Kava root, which is a gabaergic.

This doesn't ban Feel Free and similar products because they don't contain 7-OH. They just contain powdered Kratom leaf.

Look again. Feel Free does not contain Kratom extracts. It contains leaf.

Kratom is a leaf that is primarily farmed in Asia which contains the active ingredient Mitragynine, which has some very mild partial-agonist opioid effects. When kratom is consumed, your liver converts a very small amount to a MUCH more potent molecule called 7-hydroxymitragynine. As with all natural drugs, some asshats in a lab decided to figure out how to create the latter molecule semi-synthetically and in bulk. They pressed them into pills and sell them in head shops and some gas stations. It's pretty addictive, nasty stuff.

My opinion is that long term daily kratom use is terrible for your health, but it doesn't carry an overdose risk so it should stay legal and the decision to use or not should be up to the user.

I don't usually agree with prohibition, but 7OH is the kind of drug that spirals into a self destructive addiction VERY quickly. Most opioids require using for a number of weeks before you start to develop enough physical dependence to bring about withdrawal. 7OH has this weird withdrawal-like crash after even a single use that makes the user immediately feel terrible and often they seek more to make it go away. It's like the crack of the opioid world. On top of that, tolerance builds extremely quickly. Glad to see it go.

iOS is definitely buggier. It used to be a silky smooth experience but it's degraded significantly in the last year or so. Safari on iOS, in particular, is very bad. Lots of problems in Adobe Creative Cloud on Win 11 (primarily Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) in recent months too.

I think that's reading a little too much into it. The paper shows the hidden states contain signals about whether the code is good right now, and whether the run is probably going to work out. That's interesting, for sure. But it doesn't mean the model has some detailed idea of what it's going to write 25 steps later.

A lot of that signal could be much simpler stuff. This task is hard. The agent seems stuck. The tests are getting better. The current approach looks promising. All of those things make future success easier to predict without the model actually "knowing what comes next" in any strong sense.

Also, their 25 steps are agent turns, not 25 code edits. The median run had something like 52 steps but only two edits, and the program label stays the same between edits. So "25 steps ahead" may sometimes just mean basically the same codebase, with a bunch of reading and test output in between.

So yeah, I'd say it's consistent with Sutskever's view. But "consistent with" and "confirmatory of" are doing very different amounts of work here.

Weird. I've been a customer for 15 years and never had any such problem.

I think this is a possible future, but we are nowhere close with the current tech. It makes too many mistakes currently. I could envision a future where the hallucination and error rate is brought down to a very small number, but trusting your codebase completely to an LLM at this point has a 100% chance of eventually becoming a problem.

You literally did not take 5 minutes to even start reading the report or you would have realized how ridiculous your post is.

A criminal is doing criminal things. Please, let’s not act surprised. The person who runs this company is the very worst kind of human being, literally shutting down agencies to stop investigations into his business practices. I would actually be surprised if he wasn’t doing shady things to try to catch his garbage product up with the competition.

Apple doesn’t want a financial sinkhole. They’re in the business of actually making money.

Definitely in my top 5 favorite shows of all time. I still rewatch it from time to time.

I've been a musician for nearly 3 decades and this diagram is how really good songwriters think about structuring popular music. They just usually don't write it down like this. It's not only useful for lyrics, but for harmonic progression as well. As for the downvotes, it's probably because most here don't understand songwriting and think the diagram was nothing more than a joke.

300,000? The Oxford dictionary only contains 171,000!

That's actually a really interesting visualization of a professionally structured verse.

Did he mean on a set of NS10s or on THOSE NS10s?

Turns out, prohibition doesn't work in any of its many forms. This has been obvious to anyone with a semblance of critical thought for the last 100 years, but the US government never seems to learn.

I mean no offense, but it's kind of crazy that people think that linking handwriting recognition, a technology that was first rolled out 24 years ago in Windows XP, with an LLM is "soooo incredibly cool". I don't get it.

Correct. The only reasonable way forward is impeachment of the four justices who dissented. They are clearly corrupt.
