Whats different to US models then? They can also be taught to introduce stealthy backdoors. Its not like stealthy backdoors are a Chinese only topic.

So they have kids for their personal joy and completely ignore if their kids even have a chance of a good future, got it. I am sad when I see what kids will be confronted with in the long term. Humans nowadays already cant cope with climate change and wars, this will only be multiplied tenfold for our kids.

That would require you to consult a lawyer for everything you do... I personally couldn't afford that.

People are losing the ability to read. Lots of high schoolers are incapable of reading properly already. Attention spans shrink. We got some fun times ahead of us.

We need these legal texts as short form TikTok content I am afraid.

Yea agreed. LLM guardrails are either just written prompts as in "Please do not bad stuff :(" or other LLMs verifying that the first LLM didn't so some bs. Both of wich methods do not work sufficiently as time shows again and again.

Funnily enough, nobody expects quality software anymore and errors became tolerable. So thats a win (for someone like me that lost all passion for the industry).

With cheaper models I really meant cheaper subscriptions but used the wrong vocabulary. We still use Claude Opus (if thats what 4.6 is?). We just have the 20 bucks subscription and I barely use up my token limits in my day to day work.

I often wonder what kinda features other devs implement compared to me, if they need that many tokens?

It kind of feels impractical to bloat up an app with features one barely understands? I've just been reading about these devs using x-amount of tokens, having that y-amount of steps perfected AI workflow, but none of them ever talk about what they actually implement all day...

I think its a fallacy to believe people like Zuckerberg or any other stupidly rich person aren't extremely calculative about this. I am very sure they have surrounded themselves by top tier engineers making very informed decisions while their top tier marketing teams make very calculated decisions on how its expressed to the public. The public generally is NOT in favor of AI outside of tech circles so it makes sense to communicate critique of AI to the public.

I think people who don't make videos for a living severely underestimate how expensive it is to produce high-quality videos people want to watch.

This is something I always thought to be extremely funny. Producing videos is a hobby. If you made it your job, go figure out how to monetize your material yourself. Nobody prevents you from taking sponsorships.

is that we will eventually fix anything we break along the way

Thats the most dangerous thought one could have. Simply thinking "its okay because we can fix it later" leads to taking issues lightly and hoping that a fix is eventually discovered in time. We run out of time with climate change for example. There are no fixes.

Resource exploitation and destruction of ecosystems are direct results of capitalism and greed and neglect. I stopped bringing up arguments against capitalism on here generally due to the sheer amount of people in privileged circumstances that wouldn't change a thing about their ways. Also doesn't help that people in tech often times have no sense of empathy whatsoever, so its no use to argue about this on here.

We get what we deserve. We let the top 1% destroy our planet and also let them live the longest in their bunkers, while we deal with the repercussions of not having done enough. But I've noticed that folks on HN are very very fond of capitalism, so it's no point arguing against it on here and on the effects of wealth accumulation and greed.

instead of just interviewing 10-20 people and just pick one

Here's a realistic proposition. HR just wants to inflate numbers so that they seem busy looking for the right fit. Keep posting open for 1 week, manually filter for another week, invite people, employ one. Plenty of people with degrees looking for jobs right now, I don't see what's the issue with just trying one. Companies desperately look for the "magic" applicant that checks all boxes, while also trying to pay them almost minimum wage.
