Check out this’s recent HN submission: https://gist.github.com/Hellisotherpeople/71ba712f9f899adcb0...

That’s just how some humans write. These words didn’t come from an LLM vacuum.

Difficult texture, but I appreciate the disclosure of AI use and found some of the points interesting enough to write my own essays on.

Moonshot.

Under Linux it is allegedly 110GB, but I’m not sure.

Executive dysfunction mitigation. Voice based interfaces. Heavyweight personal file classification with a few hours of prompt building vs labelling a bespoke classifier’s data set and training a more “lightweight” option in weeks or days. Language translation that isn’t DeepL or Google Translate for random websites. They are not deterministic, but the error rate is a lot better on these tasks vs classical approaches.

That's like saying we shouldn't be letting people access glasses or wheelchairs because we need a way to fix the issue at the root. Nope.

I use both of these and I don't think I've once had an LLM rewrite my comment before posting it on HN.

They are trained on natural language. Not anthropomorphizing them is the worse end of the spectrum.

LLMs are indeed displacing labour. Junior IT roles are drying up in places. Translation and art are also becoming harder to earn from.

They always have a choice, it just doesn't make them as much.

There was Lavabit, though that's an example of just one such event.

Edit: and to some extent Apple, at least in the past.

I am on this very forum as an explicit effort to counterbalance that very view. You have my strong agreement.

I didn't even realize that this is (allegedly) written with AI. If it's AI, then it's the kind of AI writing that's closer to the real deal and that I want to see more widely applied if AI is to be used.

AI slop

No. I reject this framing. It is none of anybody's business how "secure" my device ever is. A smartphone is a piece of electronics, and not a tamper evident identity device.

Which is why that's not what it does. It asks you to input the hostname instead, just like deleting a repo in Github does.

The good rephrasing will not include that voice.

I refuse to engage in "LLMs are evil, period" views. That's like walking out into a battlefield with a samurai sword, while your enemy has Gatling guns. You'll be shredded. The pressure to survive means new tools have to be examined and incorporated as and when needed. The resources needed to run a 24B LLM on a gaming GPU are not costing the earth.

K2.5 and GLM-4.7/-5 were good in my experience, another vote for those.

I could spend 100% doing the work with my own Claude, and 0% reading yours. That's a negative-sum outcome. I do think that the 80%/20% split is better (though anything that is mostly human voice is fine for me).

Red Star OS.

Please add Internet Archive's bot to your auto-allows, at least. Their bot is presumably well behaved, and for public benefit.

No, the problem absolutely is identity verification. No KYC should be needed for any kind of online API service, period.

It doesn't take much hardware. I have run larger models.

I have seen such drives. ATAboy promises to be a nice option if manufacturing and populating a PCB is not too expensive.

It's far better than everyone has nukes than just a few people who are highly interested in ruining your mind and/or finances. Governments, crime syndicates can pay for HHH-less AI.

Counterpoint: B corporations.

It's clearly possible for companies to self-impose safeguards: ESG/DEI, Bcorp, choosing to open source, and so on. If investors squeal, find better investors or tell them to put up with it. You can make plenty of profit without making all the profit that can be made.

I don't think the parent comment was saying it can be solved, only that the LLM paradigm is better at dealing with complexity. I agree that they are not great at it yet, but I've seen vast improvements in the past 3 months alone.

GeoIP this nonsense. Legal liability is solved as a "good-faith effort" and those living in jurisdictions where this doesn't apply (or use a VPN) don't need to be stripped of privacy.
