This doesn't work at scale. Stack overflow as a platform has been handling user generated input via moderators, voting, and testing. This is fine when there are only 26.8 million coders on the planet, most of which aren't posting on stack overflow regularly. With LLM's all of a sudden there is a huge influx of mediocre content on the platform that people can't handle. Inevitably this will erode trust in the platform. When someone posts a answer I assume they actually ran the code, and can verify the result. LLM's can spit out seemingly correct code that just doesn't work.
The fact that this got downvoted shows disruption is in the air. Don’t shoot the messenger.

The first to go AI will be the telemedicine firms like TeleDoc, than the Urgent Care Centers will get AI screeners, and next the doctors will be left to click a confirmation button, and last since AI alone will outperform a doctor, that confirmation will fade away or lose importance.

Doctors get sued all the time, mostly when they mess up, if AI truly does better than these doctors, legal losses and insurance costs will drop off for hospitals.
> If the CEO only has one job and that is to make profits for shareholders that is a single measurable benchmark

That's never been true, though, and arguably for good reason. The CEO is supposed to act in the best interests of the company, which may not be ideal for short term profit. Trying to simplify to that metric is likely to make the bad behavior even worse.
Skybox Labs makes really great backgrounds, although if you ask it to add people it will try and generate AI monstrosities!

Being able to take the same scene and just change the time of day is really cool, my generative storytelling demonstration site[1] uses that feature to show the passage of time.

My largest wish is that generation wasn't so slow. I get their main use case is actually generating 3d environments that can be navigated around (and their Discord has some cool examples of early adopters using it for just that!) but I just need fast generation of panoramas!

Really what it comes down to is that OpenAI and their obscene levels of funding have made everyone used to AIs that give results almost instantly, but smaller scrappier startups cannot afford to buy a large % of the world's GPU supply.

I'd guess that valid human-authored submissions were being rejected by moderators because they appeared to the moderator to be AI-authored. Moreover, there is probably a significant grey area where a human selects among multiple AI answers and refines them.

As a user of Stack Overflow answers, I don't care too much about who the author was. I do value the voting, comments and community on Stack Overflow, since they add confidence and color to an answer.

Couldn’t adversarial networks be used to continue to improve quality? I guess we could wind up with a bunch of humans in the loop to help guide learning improvements too, seeing as we’ll all be unemployed (sort of joking).
I followed the link about arrays of foreign keys but couldn't see what it was saying. Could you briefly summarise for me?
People here are arguing about whether it’s ok to have AI-generated content on StackOverflow or not. But it seems to me that’s not the issue. The real issue is that people suck at identifying AI content, and so do AI detectors. So moderation based on that identification is obviously going to be unfair and inaccurate. Moderators are removing perfectly acceptable human-written answers based on their spurious intuition that it’s AI generated, and they are striking because they want to go on doing so.

It doesn’t matter how confident moderators are that they can identity AI content when the correlation between their confidence and reality is so low.

Exactly. You probably wouldn't even recognize the names of most billionaires, just the few who are always in the news taking the blame.
Because the system isn't confirming the answers.

Let's assume we have the final form AGI. If it doesn't confirm the claims are accurate then it falls under the same flaw as humans who don't confirm.

If it's a bunch of untested, unconfirmed results that are statistically pretty decent, this doesn't really reduce the amount of work.

That is the same misplaced enthusiasm that developers tend to do when they fetishize new tools or languages which actually make their job more complicated and time consuming but occupy the time in a way that gives illusory optics to the contrary.

The fact that most devs get fooled by such productivity illusions are why 10x engineer are a real thing.
Yeah so OPs point about "making plenty of money" isn't really true. Now, I'm sure they could pull a twitter and layoff 75% of the company and reach profitability.
If you check out their Discord they have tools in (closed I think) beta that generative full 3d scenes. Lots of really cool demos get posted their daily. I'd actually say that as someone using it purely for panorama generation that I'm in the minority of use cases.

The problem with this is that it presumes there's significant actual skill being exercised at the top level that is unique to the very wealthy who already make up most executives.

Note, I'm not saying "being a top exec takes no skill"; I'm saying "many people have the skills required, they're just rarely given an opportunity to demonstrate them in the same way." (I'm also saying "many execs do not have any significant skill to bring to the table; all they have is connections and money".)

Essentially, you're repeating a variant of the Just World hypothesis—that people who have skills that are relevant to high-paying jobs must be highly-paid, and people who are highly paid must be skilled enough to warrant it.

Neither of those propositions holds up to actual scrutiny.

Back around a decade ago, it seemed like everyone on HN loved it when the tech founders could maintain control even when they only had a minority of shares.

They could finally unleash innovation without the constraints of dumb Wall Street and institutional investors who just "didn't get it"! They wouldn't be at the supposedly short-term whims of the fickle stock market!

I'm happy to see the opinion here finally shifting. It seems people are finally realizing there is something to be said for actual corporate accountability to shareholders.

If you as an answerer uses an LLM to generate content, then verify and vet it yourself based on your own knowledge before posting, I'd think it's fine.

But spamming thousands of answers an hour automatically and wanting the community to do all the work is just not sustainable I feel. It'll also kill the sense of community if half the actors are bots.
Caveat there is that the numbers are based on what US can observe through SWIFT trade, but Russia does most of its trade now in local currencies.

I think you missed the fact that you are mainly doing this to make other users find relevant answers, on a free website.

Couldn't agree more, and my work is largely content writing.

For content to have any value, it should contain unique information or an especially good and useful presentation of existing information. Otherwise making that content is just worthless busywork. Like the example in this thread of a poster making a press release. How could AI add any information that is of any value?

The same goes for AI generated images. If your images are not extremely relevant you are doing it wrong. Use images of your product, not random people smiling. Stock photos, Corporate Memphis art and AI images are a negative value for the information you're presenting.

Just as you, I hope companies some day understand that their worthless filler content is just getting in the way of their sales.

This just makes obvious sense.

If I'm bothering to post my question to a forum, the social contract is that I'd like a response from a human.
If we think a bit:

If something is not reproducible nor public, the researchers could claim anything they want, as long as it somehow sounds plausible.

A researcher working in a corporation may have good reasons to exaggerate results or cover the defects:

- individual prestige (higher salary / better job)

- impact on company valuation

- potentially being able to claim a patent if someone else actually manage to implement the real deal

- etc
> Then factor in switching costs or find a way to reduce them when initially making a purchase.

That's what people are doing!

They're saying that there are many pieces of software that could be helpful, but with that potential switching cost looming in the distance they won't buy a subscription at any price because it can't be relied on.

They're not saying it's hard to stop paying, they're saying it's hard to stop using, so permanent license or bust.
> I think a lot of parents would be asking why this oddball thing vs playing with regular 555 and opamp circuits on a breadboard.

A lot? Like more than 50% I am very doubtful. But maybe I'm running from different demographic intuitions.

I'm not sure how many parents would know the "proper" process.
> We also need it to be as easy as possible for new, unsophisticated users to get up to speed so they can start contributing.

If you actually want to replace Reddit, I suppose. But this, too, is a matter of preference. Growing the userbase as quickly as possible is a business concern, and isn't necessarily better for the community itself.

> Installing an app from one of the official app stores is just about the most you can ask of new users before you risk bouncing them out the door ... You'd essentially be restricting the community to hard core, tech-savvy folks.

I think you are overestimating how sophisticated these systems are and underestimating what users are capable of. Plenty of people who were not hard-core tech-savvy IT experts participated in Usenet. There were many, many non-technical newsgroups, and they were quite popular.

All that being said, the blunt truth is that Usenet failed to scale. I think it got a lot of things right (and that we've thrown a lot of baby out with the bathwater in the last 25 years), and certainly we could stand to revisit that in an era where people are groping towards decentralization again. But while it might work for small forums, Usenet cannot support 800 million active users as-is.
Most undefined behaviour can’t be reliably detected at compile time, though you could throw the error at runtime or make the behaviour defined instead
> over the years you've placed bets on longevity of stuff, invested in the ecosystem, only to see those replaced overnight by new projects.

As an older dev, I haven't done this. I learned early in my career that it's a mistake to put too many chips into any language or ecosystem, because very few things have any sort of real longevity. This means avoiding dependency on any particular stack, tool, etc. so that I can more easily adjust to the inevitably different demands of the next project.

This is how it's always been, and I don't see any reason to think it will change in the future.

I have gained a pretty strong professional advantage in doing this, because I am at least competent in a very wide swath of languages and ecosystems, which makes me hirable in a very wide range of companies.

> I just want to have one stack and master it.

You can do this, though. It's called being a specialist. Even if any given stack is unlikely to be dominant for all that long, if a stack has been used heavily at any point, there will always be a demand for devs who work in it.

If you're lucky, it will be a stack that is both rarely used anymore and was used heavily enough that businesses have a large investment in it. That's where the big money is, because there is a limited group of devs who can address a critical (if small in terms of market size) need.

You're the one who added "short term" to profit.

It's funny that you include content moderation in there when that was one of my requests. Are you moderating content beyond your legal minimum requirements?

Come to think of it, did you write all of the Fediverse software you are using? Are you paying those developers monthly? Or did it... appear for free on GitHub? The sense of entitlement here is something else.

I think you would do better if you spend you time thinking of a value proposition instead of being irate at people and demand they pay you. I have no proof you would not be using my data, and I would be linking that (with a credit card) to a real identity. Promising me you won't do that is not a value prop I care about.

Arguing semantics is a time-honored method for derailing discussions. A sort of quasi-bikeshedding, except more often done in bad faith for creating a winnable meta-argument by someone who otherwise has nothing useful to say about (or was losing a debate of) the actual underlying subject.

Indefinitely detaining people without proving they hurt someone is not really something that’s supposed to be done.

In this case; there was no evidence presented that they spread TB. There are 13 million people with TB in the US and the vast vast majority aren’t undergoing treatment nor are they detained. It’s often in a dormant form, but even when it isn’t many many people go untreated.

There's this new trend of what I'll dub techno-nihilism, which is essentially a counterargument to the stochastic parrot argument. The former being: well what if WE are stochastic parrots, after all that's how we learn, right? Well yes, but actually no.

It's trivially false because ChatGPT was trained on something (in this case, Stack Overflow), which, in turn was trained on something else (maybe a book), and so on. So knowledge, imagination, and genuine creativity must exist somewehere down that chain. Everything can't be just repeating what was learned prior ad infinitum, or we'd have nothing new. Ironically, even the development of large language models is an exercise in creativity.
How is that any different than providing free labor to help someone learn how to build the next [X] so that they can more effectively dominate?

Because then laws that people rely on become bargaining chips held hostage when the expiration date comes.
