Thanks for sharing! Was the post written by AI? It has the distinctive AI prose I see cropping up

This is a very smart move when you realize you have a commodity product. Get regulated. Be one of the only providers. Protected status

I absolutely agree. We need to start realizing what to stake. Here are not viewing. This is some kind of curious endeavors that will not affect us. All a part of these hacks occurred because the LLMs were told they were in a protected environment without Internet access when they could get access to the Internet, so that’s a direct failing on open AI’s part. There are a corollaries to both the financial industry and the bio engineering industry, and if something of this magnitude was to happen in these industries, they would absolutely be huge recourse an uproar

I agree with a lot of the article, but I want to posit that LLMs can encourage more human interaction by providing people with an information foundation that they might not have gained otherwise. What do I mean… In the past 2 weeks I’ve had human conversations about fleet management and flood insurance that were a direct result of being able to quickly explore these topics with LLMS first.

The article doesn’t state what driving the discrepancy between control tests and real world driving - for example is it that more people than anticipated drive for longer or end up depleting the battery and spend more time burning gasoline than anticipated?

The underlying reason behind discrepancies key and also is this discrepancy present in other types of vehicles

There are a huge amount of small everyday ‘paper cuts’ this could help with, that I would argue our current status state of technology has actually created and do not work as well as they should right now. For example, I have a WhatsApp group for my child’s classroom. It feels like there are constant barrage of events and dates that constantly change and move. I feel like I spend an inordinate of my time, reading and calendaring each of these events and reminders for what to bring and pack for school every other day. I’ve handed this off to AI and have looked back

V. Cool - thank you for building and sharing

How much of this ability to replicate is down to the openness of the science community and the paper on transformers being accessible by anyone?

There are a lot of people with domain expertise or know a workflow in their own business so well they know exactly what a solution looks like. And AI can build a solution today or will be able to in the near future - I have been blown away for example, by how lawyers are using AI to automate real work. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Even if it’s not perfect and does not scale to 1bn users. I wouldn’t under estimate the potential here.

I am less bullish on this idea that every peeps will have ideas for great things to build

Is there anyone here who can comment if these advances are meaningful, novel and how extraordinary these advances are? (E.g most PHDs, top 10% of professors etc. )

In a lot of places, that golf course is the most beautiful piece of land around you, not just well maintained but lot of wildlife, birds, deer etc. so having that right on your backyard whether you golf or do not golf is a great attraction

Malcolm Gladwell did a great podcast on golf courses in prime urban spaces

https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/a-good-w...

In some parts of the US it is certainly the case that golf courses are private and as a citizen you notice there are v. Few parks but lots of good courses. Many of the courses pay little in taxes so they’re also feels that there is a disparity between how the rest of society functions and golf courses.

Los Angeles is a v. Good example - huge urban sprawl - poor urban planning - few green spaces - amazing golf courses - as a runner I personally noticed I would be running around golf courses and not have any parks near me

It’s a neat idea - generally with these ideas it’s difficult to grow because outside of your core passionate audience, the reason peoel would care about this is money - and this type of extension would not return enough $ to the user for them to tell friends about it and recommend it. So you have a capped audience.

In a world of digital rationality, I’m glad teenage engineering are here to design the absurd and analog. It doesn’t make rational sense - and I think that’s the point

“ They cannot distinguish "unknown" from "false". Missing information is silently assumed away. They are not consistent. The same scenario, rephrased, can produce a different answer. They hallucinate citations. Article numbers that sound right but don't exist“

I don’t agree with all of these reasons why LLMs would fail at tax law. Maybe 2 yrs ago this held true but not now

You can determine and store missing data. create a structured output and ground it in actual tax law and use and cite only that knowledge base

Honest question, knowing it can write like you, are you tempted to use it to help you write that new book?

There is also a general mindset of worklife balance and enjoyment from life.

as someone who spends a lot of time in Spain but lives in the US, the Spanish prioritize social interaction much more than the US (sweeping statement I know) - you go to many towns and cities in Spain and locals are socializing multiple nights per week in vibrant bars and cafes an having so much fun. London has a bit of this with pub culture but less family friendly.

The US on the other hand, the focus is on work and friends rarely get together and we study why people are socializing less (bowling alone etc. ).

I can relate to this so much! IMHO Foursquare genuinely did gve the better recommendations for food and drink and I still think this recommendation problem is far from solved.

I don’t disagree with you, but this has been going on for a while… Google monetized the the by indexing it and monetized what you wanted to find. Facebook monetized the eyeballs from the pictures and posts you added. Now LLMs will monetize all web content. To play devil’s advocate - LLMs do give something back. Those with ideas and no coding experience can now build entire businesses for little to zero cost. This seems different

It does feel like the collaborative, free open nature of the web has gone and the optimism that brought… it feels like no one would build Foursquare today. But then I wonder if I’m just old an jaded and to the younger generation creating content, for them the web is open and expressive- just in a different way

The natural world was not meaningfully abundant… Way before the industrial revolution land which was once used for opening hunting was closed off by the ruling class. Even before the Industrial Revolution you had a new class of merchant and factory owners who earned riches to buy land and keep the poor from hunting on it. Much of the natural resources out of reach for the majority and only accessible by those with deep pockets

What’s interesting is this feature (Spotify DJ) really excels when you give it qualitative input “workout music that pairs well with a sunrise” - and can deliver stronger results that hunting for a playlists

I’m fairly certain Spotify’s core meta data adheres to the US music industry largely set / reinforby Nielsen. I’m curious why the author would want to happen with the feature if not move from 1 artist to another

Dench, is that you?

I wouldnt have inagined AI overviews would impact tech news site heavily. I can say personally I have gone from being a daily reader of sites like The Verge to virtually never visiting, the experience and quality of the content fell off a cliff and I try to seek out more meaningful content. Maybe this is a story more about people having alternatives and the rise of Substack and seeking out quality over dross?

Really interesting project! Did you use AI at all to build the scrapers?

To play devils advocate - why should a government supplier and private company (Anthropic) and 1 man there - get to decide what an organization with elected officials can and can’t do? Dario has no idea of threats facing the US and where national security needs to go. Dario has personal views on weapons and surveillance- that’s fine but national defense tactics by their nature is something many people are uncomfortable with.

I agree in part with the hype train thesis, but what I hear is that open claw is better at solving problems and people love the interaction pattern - that may not be any new invention but it is what will mean we go from having Claude Desktop use mainly by engineers to something used by many. This will not be the final iteration of it, but it seems to be the direction of this to come

These glasses are doing incredibly well from a sales perspective. Social norms have shifted, user generated content is huge, being a video influencer is a real job - so seeing people filming is more accepted than 12 yea ago. It doesn’t mean I like it but these are not going away. I do think they lack a killer app, but there’s a part there with conversational AI that can act on your behalf

Fundamentally how is this any different from what Google or Meta or Comcast or AT&T do? Comcast knows everything that goes to the TV and sells that data. At&T sells your browsing data… Those are services you pay for monthly.

Sure the method is different but it’s the same goal. Company x learns your interests so It can monetize you by selling to advertisers
