educasean··on Palantir CEO suggests drone striking business rivals
I agree with you. Drone strikes aren't an okay thing to joke about.

At the same time, the person who uploaded this story must disagree with you. They must have thought that Palantir CEO making jokes about drone strikes wasn't click worthy and resorted to making the title read more sensational than it needed to be.

The original headline makes it clear that the suggestion was offered as a joke. Not a fan of the editorialized post title.

"Tech CEO jokes about drone-striking rivals in MAGA-tinged Hill summit"

You were right the first time: You really don't understand why HN readers are downvoting the OP comment. Yet that didn't appear to have stopped you from spinning up this AI-bandwagon-riding, regulation-hating strawman to further entrench your hatred towards.

As these synthetic voice generations become less and less obviously detectable, I fear two things will happen.

1. The obvious: There will be a lot of fake speeches floating around that spout fake news and hate-filled views.

2. The less obvious: The prevalence of hatred and sensationalized rumors will embolden those who find themselves agreeing with the extreme views seemingly endorsed by some authority figure, and will add their support and authentic voices to the mix.

Perhaps this is just an extension of what has already been happening with the internet. We will find ourselves more fragmented and divided than ever, filling our chambers with literal echos of synthetic voices.

educasean··on LLMs and the Harry Potter problem
Not only is "Harry Potter problem" a misnomer, the "shortcomings" of LLM being investigated here doesn't feel novel. We know counting is a big weakness of LLMs already, so why muddle the waters if you wanted to drill down on issues related to large context recall?

Perhaps my biggest gripe: if you're going to lure readers in with an interesting name like the "Harry Potter problem", it better be either technically interesting or entertaining.
