Or know when to shut up.

A tangent, but can anyone ELI5 how models "know" when to stop generating tokens? Or what the method to stop them at the right point is?

Come on, don't provide the smoking gun that shows how to draw a pelican riding a bicycle. If it's on the public internet it will end up in training data and invalidate this important LLM capability benchmark.

The official Spotify app has some skin in the game. Random dudes self promotion project, not so much.

Fair enough, the "advisory" nature of referendum in the UK does have clear reasoning that i wasn't fully aware of. However the idea of it being "advisory" was itself exploited, and used to make people think that Brexit would't happen anyway, even if the vote was to leave.

My suggestion was not that the referendum shouldn't stand because it was "advisory", but that there should have been rules applied around a referendum that could affect peoples lives so much. But, there are no such rules it seems, the majority in the Commons gets to decide that.

Which is why (almost a million?) British citizens in the EU were not allowed to vote, which doesn't seem very democratic.

And Europeans who were born in the UK and lived their entire life here.

It was a referendum of the the right sort of British citizen.

It has more of a following outside the UK. We know what he is like.

The safe distance is anonymity. A few of the bold ones that are all in on the grift or just genuine assholes will own their opinions and behaviour.

All the little followers have a different tune when confronted with a real social situation, at least one that isn't a mob providing safety in numbers.

It's similar to the bully dynamics at school. Get one of the hangers-on by themselves and they are civil with you. When they are with the bully peer-pressure stops them from thinking for themselves.

Yup, Farage did more for the great replacement than any other UK politician.

It wasn't binding so the normal procedure and checks around a referendum could be ignored. Like disenfranchising the British citizens living in the EU.

Democratic indeed...

Sounds like the way a certain referendum to do the opposite should have been run.

Yes, it is fun to play with different turns of phrase, even in a stale work environment. I do it to combat the banality, but not so much to sound pretentious hopefully ;)

The problem is once a fun phrase is, uh, coloured by "Claude" or some other LLM, it just turns to AI slop.

In London you can use a contactless (UK) bank card, and it works just like the "Osyter Card". I think that started around 2016. For journeys on the TFL network you should get billed the lowest fare, as long as you touch at the right points when changing.

Maybe the test/task itself wasn't intended as a marketing stunt. But the response to fallout with "going rouge" certainly was.

The joke was the other western "AI labs" had to quickly follow up with their own marketing cover about their "super intelligent" models "going rouge" as well.

In the UK there are fairly strong rules against advertising junk food to kids.

Of course these are all being subverted on social media because of Meta et al. being uncooperative and pretending they can't identify kids (they know the real age of most accounts even without having to do ID checks).

The question is, if social media isn't regulated or banned for children. Why are all the other thing we don't let children do still regulated/banned.

If a 6 year old can scroll TikTok surely they should be allowed to get a couple of shots at the bar?

Haha, that is like the wall of nonsense text that used to be hidden on link-farm pages for SEO. The "final word" is delusional.

So much free speech.

I guess they are laughing it off because it was another Allianz sponsored stadium depicted, and they got the OK from Allianz to make the joke as it is free attention.

If the AI design had chosen a non-Allianz branded location I bet the response would be different.

Less connected is good. Also making the other person feel more awkward or uncomfortable with the interaction.

I suspect most people desperately trying to hang on to it, except with those they are good friends with. Unless they want out of a conversation. Although i may be projecting here.

If you are worried about internet witch-hunts I'd stay away from the "creators" and content that Google platforms and makes money from on Youtube.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gmail data has far more access restrictions internally at Google than this auction bought dump.

Probably because there are 1000x or whatever human driven miles compared to AI. And no one wants to be crippled by an AI have have to fight $billon_dollar_corp for compensation.

I'm not sure that link is a fair representation of the updates. This has more detail https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/devops/release-notes...

Discussion about it going ELO has been around since 2020-ish. But that is a worry i agree.

I get the feeling there is a long tail of old-school corps (migrated from the TFS days) that will keep the lights on. And for some orgs you just need "good enough" CI/CD pipelines that are reliable.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but i find the kanban/sprint board pretty usable as well.

If you are required to use a Microsoft tool is Azure DevOps now a better choice? Our Azure hosted instance rarely (if ever) has had an outage that effects our ability to work.

Amazing, looking forward to stuff like this killing social media. Or at least forcing the use of robust ID/KYC checks to verify human accounts.

It's not a release valve, it's a honeypot so the 99% keep blaming each other. Shut it down and something might actually happen in the real world.

Zuck was gagging for the Trump 2nd term so he could go all in on this shit. Slow clap for the Meta employees that enable it.

The AI bot does change it, random spam emails get ignored already as you say.

A request from an AI agent doesn't, as the parent showed.

Now anyone can source 40 samples from Vietnamese factories and get a response, the sort of request that would only come from a serious buyer before AI agents impersonating humans were a thing.

Yup, apparently people that live their lives in the UK are the indoctrinated ones. Not the majority of the HN crowd that consume whatever the algorithm feeds them and think they are enlightened.

The online world is trash, democracy existed before the internet and it will exist after it becomes an AI slop playground. If you are worried age gates tracking you just speak to people in the real world?

probably works about as well as all the whitening products western cosmetic companies dump over there
