The worst are slop-generated recipes that you only realise are fake halfway through reading when they tell you to add half a cup of table salt to your cake batter

today I learnt that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you shoveling hot shit into your mouth. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles

No it doesn't though. Like it literally doesn't. Who says it does? Proton isn't even publicly listed so there's literally no reason for that.

This is just a con by Big Growth to sell more charts with lines going up.

How hard is it to actually have a company that provides a useful product and doesn't veer off into insanity at the first possible occasion. Why does it always end up like this.

I think you're severely overestimating how much the bigwigs even think about this. You're assuming they have some connection to what these tools do and how employees use them, or even that they understand what is entailed in the work their employees do.

It's shiny, "everyone" says you can just fire 30% of your workforce if you "go AI", so you tell one of your subordinates to "go AI" and the HR to reduce the workforce by 30%, and then go golfing. Maybe think to yourself how much time you saved at having those two emails get autogenerated instead of having to vomit your usual word salad about "synergy" and "opportunity", and "digital transformation" or whatever.

Eliezer is nearly incapable of writing characters that people actually dislike

Wait wasn't the whole point of Harry that he was an insufferable know-it-all who fails to say Hermione because of how insufferable he is?

That wasn't even subtext, that was the text

So there are some positive downstream effects of this entire bubble, huh. Didn't have this in my predictions.

Likewise, flipped-number ("little endian") algorithms are slightly more efficient at e.g. long addition.

What? What are you talking about? Citation? Efficient wrt. what? Microbenchmarks? It's certainly not actual computational complexity. Do you think going forward in an array is different computationally from going backward?

(in the objective sense that his comments score very highly on the toxic-bert scoring system)

That's an ML model. Like I searched and toxic-bert is just a github repo.

"objective" go fuck a cow

Feels like overlooking the same issue as with every other AI use

When a human makes a mistake and is called out, they can usually fix the mistake. When genAI outputs nonsense, it's fucking nonsense, you can't fix something that's fundamentally made up, and if you try to "ask it" to fix it it'll just respond with more nonsense. I hallucinated this case? Certainly! Here's 3 other cases you could cite instead: 3 new made up cases
