Im not sure OpenAI or Anthropic are necessarily better? Or even opposed to this

You are correct, but especially in current day that analogy is quite bad.

I expect Median LoC might be very high with the average developer using AI these days... but the dev who is making atomic changes that are fixing the AI output is probably tiny LoC but way more important

That does not sound at all reassuring, that the only safeguard is the system blocking access and that the API has no safeguard.

Its also easily possible to have sensitive files misplaced, especially for a general non-technical user that would be the one falling for a browser hijacking attack

I would also imagine the majority of people used to RLHF on AI could have English not as a first language. I have no expertise in this area, but I feel like the tuning at that phase would also affect the "voice", "tone", and "style" that gets put out.

Because it's not blatantly obvious what is a B versus a C until after the fact.

So you

1. Reduce morale of Bs with potential. Layoffs or just reducing opportunity affects the whole team 2. Enforce stereotype threat on Bs you've miscategorized, reducing their performance and turning them into Cs.

It probably affects the As too, but I know I'm not there yet, so I can't speak on it.

This just sounds like your Linkedin went stale for some reason or other. Do you have the Open to Work status? Or even just be active on there, apply to jobs, like posts or stuff like that?

I get plenty of messages from "recruiters" through LinkedIn. They're not particularly great, but I also only have a few years of experience

The controls are really frustrating on mobile. Clicking a new tile sometimes adds it to my district. Other times it makes a new district?

Me together built... doesn't make sense either

Or, you know... money

Just down vote and move on. You're helping them generate better slop by providing input like this

I'm surprised that (all) these models haven't been export controlled already. Relatively benign software like VMware is export controlled or even hobbyist radio projects have gotten hairy with ITAR.

But a model that can provide general information, research, or source code for most modern technology?

It is really unusual that this is the first notice of this

> There's good AI writing

Sure, but the LLM-isms in AI writing are mentally exhausting to see in every way at this point.

The whole point of reading, frankly, is to understand the voice of other people. When you pass that through a distorted filter that makes everyone sound the same... its bad, lossy, frustrating communication

It's also dishonest. When you publish something that is direct output without your wording. Digital catfishing at best.

The only good AI writing is providing the prompt, because the question is way more interesting, and way more constructive to learning than the answer

There is little chance your writing is as consistently the exact same as the default LLM output, which this definitely is.

The only case I would consider this being a misleading part of the statistic would be (1), and that type of usage is probably too rare to be significant.

Multitasking "while watching TV" is probably still harmful. Just focus on the task. For me personally, having the screen there has led to increased anxiousness and loss of my sense of time.

Watching TV with a friend is probably less harmful, but its still "just" sitting in front of that screen with little activity going on.

It does kind of depend what you're watching/listening to, but humans need extended time away from that constant stream of media regardless

Dp you have any source on that last part?

Not trying to citation needed you, but that claim is quite significant.

And it also increases the competition! Most of the giant tech companies aren't really making money by having X amount of software. They make their money by having software that is better than their competition, so they can get Y amount of users. But if your product's development is now simplified because AI can reproduce it, you still have to work harder to keep that competitive advantage

As someone who has poorer vision than average, pair programming in person as the observer is almost impossible. Id have to ask the driver constantly for clarification on what they typed or have them increase their text size to something that would be uncomfortable to them.

That's just to say its not always more effective

Texture is independent of taste

I mean, I didn't read it as a joke. Taking a rest can lead to a clearer ability to think... thereby being more productive, not less.

I was surprised because the writing _seemed_ focused and It at least credits what they copied from "nohello.com" ... but when you compare the 2 sites it becomes obvious that the AI was definitely prompted something like "make a copy of nohello.com but for people posting AI slop" and that's all the actual human thought that went into this. The structure is the same as the source and has just been LLM-ified so it kept some of the same source tone.

A free tier will almost always exist. Mostly for the reasons you already describe. That's a training ground for their small models as well as a way to get full access to new training data (and advertisements). As well as funnel new paying users. Why would you ever give that up?

I've never had a problem with direct translation... but the 3 paragraph choppy structure with subheadings full of AI-isms is not ESL users using it faithfully

Such a person can just make a new account and go back at it

You joke, but in a way this is the natural trajectory technology has been heading. AI has just increased the magnitude of it

Player-coaches are a real thing, but noticeable because of how rare and unusual they are. The problem is that the analogy doesn't even hold up in the source its referring to.

Sure, there are good player-coaches, but there are also great pure leaders. There are also very bad player-coaches. A coach who is trying too hard and too deep to be a player when they are less "fit" (or skilled) has historically led to many problems in many cases

Many major markets outside the US have much stronger work-life balance. Isn't that the takeaway?

But the exploits can use AI custom tools too. "Script Kiddie" is just now "Prompt Kiddie"

Although everyone might use their own flavor of "database" or "REST API", I can't imagine every layout to be unique enough to not have similar exploit classes entirely. AI isn't known for being super original after all...

Unfortunately that's when they started recording the data

The 3-year old anecdote is a bit pointless. It literally could have been a bad day. I've burnt myself out on a problem the night before and absolutely bombed simple interview questions, too. Or it just happened to be the least competent engineer at Meta. It doesn't give much information on their average employee, though

It's something that's really been worrying me these days. With AI creating literally floods of information, it's getting noisier and noisier.
