Cooking is dangerous. It took Chipotle 5 years to recover from the e coli fiasco. Your analogy is home cooking, but this is a product. We regulate consumer safety for a good reason.

But why if a software shop had to do 10% of the regulations and inspections that every restaurant or slaughterhouse has to do, the industry would revolt? Be a libertarian if you want and say neither should be regulated, but that's a 90/10 issue.

Completely false about personal projects. The median github repo was crap long before genai. The superstar open source libraries often have high quality, but it is a steep cliff after that. Anybody can push to pypi or npm and I've seen so much crap there too that I was tempted to install after a search, until I looked into the code. That's what genai is trained on.

What absolute incompetence. Not just on this dev, but any org with API keys ought to be scanning for leaked keys constantly. Failure of one and failure of many.

Of course Elon hires only based on 'merit'...

That's because VADER is just a dictionary mapping each word to a single sentiment weight and adding it up with some basic logic for negations and such. There's an ocean of smaller NLP ML between that naive approach and LLMs. LLMs are trained to do everything. If all you need is a model trained to do sentiment analysis, using VADER over something like DistilBERT is NLP malpractice in 2025.

Foundation Model, because multimodal models aren't just Language

It sounds like you haven't actually had to face that situation, because it is more complicated than just having to delete an offending attachment. You would still have an audit log of the deletion of that email record by the superuser, even if the content is deleted. And there would be other records generated to document the deletion, like I'm sure a long email or slack thread from this getting discovered and sent up the chain, over to legal, then to the FBI, then back to coordinating the logistics of manually deleting something from the audit logs. So if for a completely unrelated case, a third party auditor stumbles upon that mess, they will be able to reconstruct why a single attachment cannot be found in the audit logs.

"No" is the answer to GP: there is no legitimate reason for a fully unlogged superuser account.

> I'm fond of boosting privacy issue awareness

No, you very clearly are not if you think it is "insane" to even just talk about this as a privacy issue. The location of an EXIF stripped image can easily be inferred, automatically, at scale, with high accuracy. If that isn't a privacy issue, I don't know what is. You may not feel it is a big concern, or you may have given up on privacy, but don't gaslight me into thinking that this is not a privacy concern. That would be literally insane. Why are you so upset with this being talked about as a privacy issue?

And I don't know why you feel compelled to give this disclaimer. Sounds like the bad faith "as a diehard conservative/liberal, this conservative/liberal policy goes too far" when in fact they are not from that side at all. "Privacy is harder now on the internet, so it is impossible, just give up" is what everyone who profits from personal data collection wants you to think.

Sadly that is part of the internet commenter's rhetorical toolbox now. Every argument sounds a little stronger if you say that you are usually part of one team on this side of the argument, but you think your team has gone too far on this one. Classic enlightened centrism. What an independent thinker! If only it were true.

My battery life increases 25% or more on dark mode.

> I'm not one of our founders and REALLY wouldn't want to be publicly held accountable for policies or commitments

I don't mean to phrase this in a hostile way, but then what is even the point of posting? Your word means nothing. You are not in a position to promise anything. You could wake up one morning and find yourself laid off with all your accounts terminated.

And the fact that a Cohere employee is playing PR trying to deflect this issue gives me less faith, not more.

Why do you expect to believe a single word Sam Altman says?

It is, but qualifications no longer matter. In fact, they are now seen as liabilities by the current regime.

Did you not read "Some examples of sites sharing some thematic elements spanning over 25 years:" followed by links to different galleries? Is clicking a link all that hard? It lets the reader browse examples at their own pace. I thought this was HN, not TikTok.

You sound like you're having a bad day. Go take a walk, its just someones side project on HN.

Well that sure isn't what they teach in computer science programs anymore

Right. At my most generous, this is a dataset about LLM behavior when asked to infer nutritional value. It is in no way a nutrition dataset. It is perhaps useful as half of a benchmark for accuracy, compared to actual ground truth. Unlike a scientist, you're not motivated or resourced enough to create the ground truth dataset. So you took a shortcut and hid it from the landing page.

This workflow, this motivation, this business model, this marketing is an affront to truth itself.

Your response is such a perfect example of why the "data science" movement is a cancer on actual science. So many graduate from programs and boot camps (or just read blog posts) that teach them all the technical mechanics of working with data, but nothing about actual science.

> Final nutritional data is generated by providing a reasoning model with a large corpus of grounding data. The LLM is tasked with creating complete nutritional values, explicitly explaining the rationale behind each value it generates. Outputs undergo rigorous validation steps, including cross-checking with advanced auditing models such as OpenAI’s o1-pro, which has proven especially proficient at performing high-quality random audits. In practice, o1-pro frequently provided clearer and more substantive insights than manual audits alone.

This is not a dataset. This is an insult to the very idea of data. This is the most anti-scientific post I have ever seen voted to the top of HN. Truth about the world is not derived from three LLMs stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat.

They are trying to make the argument that is parodied in this meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-som...

Sure, you can sue the hollowed out shell of a bankrupt limited liability corporation that will soon have no assets for a court to sieze for whatever paltry damages a court finds.

All the time I see links on HN front page to Twitter and Mastodon posts with just as little text to them. Why does it upset you when it is in the medium of blogs, but not micro blogs?

This is the second biggest piece of economics misinformation, behind people who believe their net income will go down if they get a raise into the next tax bracket.

Just like cars, all new housing is luxury. No one working minimum wage can afford the cheapest new car on the lot. But those new cars get bought by people who sell their used cars.

You are a wicked and despicable human being.

> I hate this game.

This is tech. This is how it has always been. From Archemedes to DaVinci to Edison to Ford, technologists are always captured to serve the interests of those in power. Most modern technologists don't want to believe this. They grew up building an Internet that had a bit of countercultural flair to it and undermined a few subsets of entrenched elites (mass media, taxi cartels, etc.), so they convinced themselves that they could control society under their wise hands. Except the same thing that always happened happened: the powers that be are now treating tech the way tech treats everyone else.

So do you support invalidating the citizenship of Elon Musk and Melania Trump because they both worked without authorization while on student and tourist visas?

Since the Internet became ubiquitous, more people believe the moon landing, climate change, and vaccines are hoaxes.

I'm old enough to remember when they first said that about the Internet. We were going to enter a new enlightened age of information, giving everyone access to the sum total of human knowlege, no need to get a fancy degree, universities will be obsolete, expertise will be democratized.... See how that turned out.

You computer scientists cosplaying as cognitive scientists really never took single psychology class, did you?

Students who sign up to a running class are complaining that the coach locks them down from using a car. Ridiculous! In the real world, you'll have access to a car! Why bother exercising your body?
