They'll trade off the inflated numbers for the royalties.

But why would they agree? Coding is free (or at least $200 a month)

I thought code was free now

I don't think that's what player-coach means. It's not an archetype. It's a concrete role.

Yeah this is one of maybe 3 or 4 successful examples in the history of both players and coaches. Wonder why they haven't done it since the 70's....

Can anyone think of a single successful player-coach in the entire history of sports? Why would this be a good model?

So why is everything still working?

And you just scrape it straight from sec.gov?

I guess that's called napping

Amazing that this article and an actual comment from Ronan Farrow is this far down the list while...Scientists Figured Out How Eels Reproduce (2022) has 6 times the points.

Always good to name drop a near universally hated group.

I'm not sure what the flex is here.

Is the idea that prototypes give the Permission Granter more fidelity into a proposal and therefore can make better decisions? Whereas before, with Slide Decks, the Permission Granter couldn't experience certain things and therefore couldn't make as good decisions to grant permissions?

So in effect this remains a billionaire figure speaking from their own perspective and we're supposed to care?

Nvidia, ByteDance, Tencent and OpenAI?! Wow!

It wasn't even that long ago that Trump fired the BLS Commissioner and nominated someone that would "restore GREATNESS" to the BLS.

Putting aside the slop facade place atop the data....why would we trust the data?

This is turning into just another reality show. There are no adults anymore.

Proud of myself for recognizing this was a bot without having to inspect further than this comment!

They can do that anyway. What does that have to do with the content of the proposed law?

What does that look like? Can you describe your worst case scenario?

Most of the examples that you've used gain very little from added specificity. It's essentially linguistic laziness. That linguistic laziness is not identically consequential in all contexts.

Would you feel better if people said "people of African descent are much more likely to have a genetic disease sickle cell anemia"?

Name names, George. It's the only way.

No doubt. Interesting to think about why that is without assuming it's a character flaw.

Yep, it's a real problem. No dispute there.

My intention isn't to argue a point, just to share my perspective when I read it.

I read your response here to be saying something like "I noticed that people are misunderstood about X, so I wanted to inform them". In this case "X" isn't itself very obvious to me (For any given task, why can't you expect that a cutting edge LLM would be able to write it without requiring your testing that?) but most importantly, I don't think I would approach a pure misunderstanding (tantamount to a skills gap) with your particular framing. Again, to me it reads as patronizing.

Love the pelican on the bicycle, though. I think that's been a great addition to the zeitgeist.

I don't know if there's a word for this but this reads to me as like, software virtue signaling or software patronizing. It's bizarre to me to tell an engineer what their job is as a matter of fact and to claim a particular usage of a tool as mandated (a tool that no one really asked for, mind you), leveraging duty of all things.

I guess to me, it's either the case that LLMs are just another tool, in which case the already existing teachings of best practice should cover them (and therefore the tone and some content of this article is unnecessary) or they're something totally new, in which case maybe some of the already existing teachings apply, but maybe not because it's so different that the old incentives can't reasonably take hold. Maybe we should focus a little bit more attention on that.

The article mentions rudeness, shifting burdens, wasting people's time, dereliction. Really loaded stuff and not a framing that I find necessary. The average person is just trying to get by, not topple a social contract. For that, look upwards.

Hacker News is not representative of the average person in often very bad ways.

If AI isn't better than humans then there's no point.

Anyone normal knew what you meant

It's the fact that it talks to you. Before this, only people did that. Now something else is doing it. That's going to break some brains.
