If we're being pedantic, it may be deterministic from the point of view of Anthropic. They can guarantee that my prompt X results in actual prompt X+Y (Y being all the settings they control), which would hopefully result in deterministic output Z. From my point of view, Y may as well be random, resulting in non-deterministic output Z for my input X.

Maybe don't trust something with non-deterministic output for critical level security?

> The feeling that it's "not worthy" has completely drained the joy out of it.

It was never "worthy". With the proliferation of free, quality, open source software, what's now a prompt away, has been a github repo away for a long time. It's just that, before, you chose to ignore the existence of github repos and enjoy your hobby. Now you're choosing to not ignore the AI.

> It's a hard balance to get right

Not really. With the wide availability of AI, you can dumb down almost any text to any any level you want.

> "Sorry we can't catch the people sexually abusing one million children every year because they use a VPN."

Bullshit. The UK police basically ignored a pedophile ring under their noses, with zero VPNs involved. I'm not expert on the matter but I'm pretty sure a E2E is not an essential part of sexual abuse.

It may hurt them financially but they are fighting for market share and I'd argue short answers will drive users away. I prefer the long ones much more as they often include things I haven't directly asked about but are still helpful.

Zero may not be the optimal number but nobody is arguing for zero anyway. Also, you don't need to be a History major to study history.

"you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!"

> Read about the ProtectEU (what a fucking ridiculous name) proposal which will mandate the scanning on device and basically record everything you do on your device.

Where can we read about that? The official documents are quite vague and I don't see anything as specific as mandatory device scanning.

You picked a really bad time to defend a "politicians will eventually do what is best for us" position, given that such a law just came into effect in UK. And I think it's you who don't understand how the EU works. It's the biggest countries that must agree to something. Then they coerce/convince the rest. At best, the smaller countries can put on some kind of resistance until they extract some minor exception. This isn't "some Dutch mayor proposes free Internet". This is a relentless onslaught on encryption and privacy. And it's already in effect in other countries where someone at sometime also said "nah, don't worry, they just messing with us, it's not gonna pass".

I'm often using LLMs for stuff that requires recent data. No way I'm running a web crawler in addition to my local LLM. For coding it could theoretically work as you don't always need latest and greatest but would still make me anxious.

Demand free Palestine, while you're there, just to make sure you don't suddenly run out of reasons to continue being obnoxious.

Sounds very much sequential, even if very difficult:

> The performer's first reply is not an entire poem. Rather, the poem is created one line at a time. The first questioner speaks and the performer replies with one line. The second questioner then speaks and the performer replies with the previous first line and then a new line. The third questioner then speaks and performer gives his previous first and second lines and a new line and so on. That is, each questioner demands a new task or restriction, the previous tasks, the previous lines of the poem, and a new line.

It's also sometimes buggy and I can't adjust the volume at all. I can't comprehend what in the world would prompt such a "redesign"

> Uhh, why? Unless you were planning on selling up and spending it all on a cruise or something house prices are immaterial to home owners.

No, it's not immaterial. If you paid $1M for something and next year that something is worth $500K, it's a problem, regardless of whether you own it or it's mortgaged, regardless of whether you plan to sell it or live in it. You lost $500K, it's as simple as that.

One could argue it's the first step of the slippery slope process. First you introduce a checkbox as a "non-intrusive way" to for age verification, knowing full well it's useless. Next step is you say "Ok, we clearly agree there is a need for age verification, we all voted for the checkbox but kids are lying so we must put into place a system that cannot be gamed. Think of the children!"

> You can assume they'd rather be constructing new clothes, rather than doing alterations

Thankfully, the free hand of the market provides a solution uniquely tailored to this kind of problem - just raise the price for the adjustments to a point where it's easier and cheaper if you just buy a new suit. In fact, if we are talking about huge weight loss I'm not even sure how the "adjustment" would be any less time-consuming than starting from scratch.

This is horrible. The worst thing that can happen to a business - more and more customers are coming every day! How will these people survive!

"For anyone who wants to avoid Twitter's toxicity, here is how you get some Twitter content" :)

Yeah, the stock price made me suspicious but I figured that it might be due to the not-so-great accuracy plus a lack of moat - even if it worked, you'd see a cheap copy on AliExpress in 2 weeks. I didn't see the report before though, so yeah, I'd agree it smells like scam. Especially when you see the CEO dabbles in NFTs

There is a company that (allegedly) already produces such a device: https://www.knowlabs.co/

I've looked over the studies/tests they've done and they look decent, though the accuracy is not that great.

1% is 1%. Giving it away for no reason is plain stupid, even if the trade makes you 1000% return.

ChatGPT has one trade that is guaranteed to be bad. I'm not saying unprofitable, just bad. GBTC is the bitcoin ETF with biggest expense ratio - 1.5%. If you want to bet on bitcoin, a better choice would be BITB (0.20%) or BTC (0.15%).

Also, the reasoning is partially a hallucination - "The holding period of 9 months aligns with the expected completion of Grayscale's pivotal Phase 3 Bitcoin ETF trial, a major catalyst for unlocking investor demand and driving trust value realization."

There is no such thing as a "holding period", nor are they doing a "Phase 3 Bitcoin ETF trial". It's possible the "Phase 3" thing is picked up from news about a drug company.

Yes, you can. Not sure how that's relevant to the discussion though.

You can't become a billionaire by betting on hundreds of thousands of events via "survivorship bias". It's about as likely as getting 1000 monkeys typing on typewriters and producing Shakespeare's works in 10 years.

> how do we know if $10 is the right price or too low?

We don't. It's the market's job to determine the wage. If the wage is too low, then businesses won't be able to find the people they need.

Yes, that's exactly how rent works nowadays. You rent a piece of real estate and you pay the rent. So, yes, it's still relevant today but not particularly noteworthy.

As per the article, we do know the study was partially faked.

I'm just making fun of the certainty with which the poster assumes that just because we had humongous progress in all areas of knowledge for the last 100 years, it's somehow guaranteed that the progress will continue at the same rate. Fundamental limits or not, we've already picked the lowest hanging fruit and further progress is painfully incremental, slow and expensive and Star Trek-like devices seem extremely unlikely.

Yes, and future spaceships will travel 100x times the speed of light.

The cost to show one person "this is the browser icon and these are the excel/word icons; click them when you need to", multiplied by number of people who need to be trained.
