That’s iike living in a house that is falling apart and saying if I just let it fall apart completely then I won’t need to fix the house

I don’t understand the joke, could you explain?

Let’s say I agree the concept of mind is relative, would you be willing to accept a rock has a mind?

Let me restate the point differently: lowering the bar for what you consider intelligence doesn’t make the AI sound any smarter.

By defaming intelligence you aren’t making the AI sound smarter. But you are making yourself the fool.

“If the west doesn’t build it then China will” is a claim to a timeline. And in the context of governments, most would assume you’re talking about less than 100 years.

Because asking AI to do humans is still uncanny. Pixar and Ghibli was already ruined by AI…

I think what’s interesting is it sounds like the battery is a set of storage containers. My guess is it supports battery swapping, so while the range might be small, it can refuel as part of exchanging cargo

Yes, code harnesses help by providing deterministic feedback like with a language server and reduce the amount of prompting requirements. I guess I should have led with that example 😅

No, it’s not the same as copying and pasting the TODO into a prompt. Embedding the TODO in code instead of the prompt reduces tokens burned and increases accuracy because it’s observing the TODO in context. Sure you can write more prompting to provide that context, but it still won’t be as accurate. The less context you provide via prompting and instead provide more context through automatic deterministc feedback the better the results

Examples to consider:

A code base with TODOs embedded will make fewer mistakes and spend less tokens than if you attempt to direct the LLM only with prompting.

A file system gives an LLM more context than a flat file (or large prompt) with the same contents because a file system has a tree like structure and makes it less likely the LLM will ingest context it doesn’t need and confuse it

Lastly consider the efficacy of providing it tools vs using agent skills which is another form of prompting. Giving an LLM a deterministic feedback loop beats tweaking your prompts every time

Person who sold NFTs is serious about AI. Next it will be quantum

“Properly prompting” is to not prompt. A chat interface is the lowest fidelity interface to use with an LLM.

The current MAGA “Christians” are like the Pharisees of Jesus’ time. So focused on the law while trying to feel holier than others that they would condemn the savior for healing on the wrong day instead of recognizing the miracle of the healing

Well said. I often say we’re more interested in being proven right then doing actual good. The Pharisees embody that attitude.

Two things can be true. Still shouldn’t hold a teenager wholly responsible for being scammed.

That’s the point. We should not make our children feel bad for not knowing better when we ourselves aren’t doing any better. Show some fucking empathy instead of saying you’re shit out of luck.

I do get therapy, thanks for the concern random stranger. I hope the same is true for you and that you understand that just because bad things happened to you doesn’t mean we should give such things a free pass and make ourselves emotionally unavailable to empathize with our children.

Amazing parenting to let them hurt themselves and their friends because you couldn’t educate them well enough to avoid a scam.

Edit: I am not saying the parent should have educated the child better, I am just saying when you go down this path of “well you should have known better” then the responsibility is on the parents to teach the kids better.

Exhibit A for why everyone needs therapy. I guess it’s little consolation that people reap what they sow.

You know what’s also a learning experience? Getting mugged. I hope you learn compassion before you learn that lesson.

Fuck that. Saying empires are inevitable is a lot like saying fascism is inevitable. Maybe it’s true but you shouldn’t identify with the thing and make it’s purpose your own
