It will take a long time, but I think the ever growing usage of GenAI tools will ultimately make people desire human created works even more.

That said, there's a common thread in a lot of writing similar to this piece. Basically, it's some form of, "GenAI isn't art. GenAI creations lack a human element present in the creation process. GenAI creations cheapen the creative process in general due to the ease at which they can pop out new things."

I'm mixed on this. This is something we've always had to deal with as a species. This greatly simplies a lot of human history here, but consider:

- Our (long, long ago) ancestors had to paint on walls with their fingers. They had to make music by banging sticks together

- Paint brushes were invented. Musical instruments were invented. These things make it easier and quicker for people to _create_

- Mechanical machines made it easier to make garments and print books

- Digital machines made it even easier to write stories, or make music, or play music

The word processor alone made it ridiculously easy for highly evolved apes to start pounding on keyboards and outputting works of various lengths and quality.

Prior to the GenAI craze, there were music creation tools that contained multi-gigabyte sample packs. You could throw together random samples and make good sounding songs.

Photoshop and Illustrator made it exceedingly easy for artists to flex their creative muscles and get their ideas out there.

At the end of the day, these are all tools. And I think GenAI will ultimately be used in a similar way. It's a tool. Can it be used in a bad way? Sure. Just like PhotoShop. Just like Word.

Regarding what is and isn't art -- I don't think it's up to us to decide. And does it matter? History is full of ridiculous examples of things that might or might not be art.[0][1] Humans don't necessarily need to be involved in the creation process either.[2]

Is AI fizzing out or just me? I feel like they're trying to smash out new models as fast as they can but in reality they're barely any different, it's turning into the smartphone market. New iPhone with a slightly better camera and slightly differently bevelled edges, get it NOW! But doesn't actually do anything better than the iPhone 6.

Claude, GPT 4 onwards, and DeepSeek all feel the same to me. Okay to a point, then kinda useless. More like a more convenient specialised Google that you need to double check the results of.
Let me reiterate: sysvinit had the job done in an extremely inefficient way that it's not really feasible for long ago. Upstart tried to remedy that but failed.

sysvinit was bad, no arguing about that, but it was controllable, predictable and comprehensible. While I believe that there was a time when systemd-as-PID1 looked like an excellent solution, I am confident that systemd has none of those qualities.
ngl I'd find that easier to follow lol
Any comparison with other models yet?

You're being downvoted for 3 reasons:

1) Coming off as a jerk, and from a new account is a bad look

2) "Literally the opposite of a coin flip" would probably be either 0% or 100%

3) Your reasoning doesn't stand up without further info; it entirely depends on the sample size. I could have 5 coin flips all come up heads, but over thousands or millions it averages to 50%. 56% on a small sample size is absolutely within margin of error/noise. 56% on a MASSIVE sample size is _statistically_ significant, but isn't even still that much to brag about for something that I feel like they probably intended to be a big step forward.
Kratom is definitely something to be wary of. Physical withdrawals similar to opiates with prolonged use and made up of alkaloids we don't know the full safety profile of yet (or at least didn't when it was taking off in popularity.) I would not be surprised to find out morphine is "healthier" for the body. Plus there was that scare around some of the big kratom distributers having batches of the leaves contaminated with heavy metals like lead in products they continued to sell.

Would highly advise people to steer clear of it if not using it for harm reduction though the wisdom of replacing one physically addictive drug with another doesn't seem to bode well either. Not a doctor just my two cents.
> Everyone here seems to thing GDB is awful. It's been a while for me but I remember using front-ends like Eclipse's CDT or similar and didn't find that experience so bad. Do most people use GDB straight-up? I haven't done that in probably 15 years although it's nice to have a lightweight command line on small embedded systems.

the issue is not with gdb's UX - you can build as many cool UI / UX on top of it as you want. The problem is that gdb will sometimes take 5 minutes to start debugging (and that's without debuginfod), straight up crash, be unable to resolve obvious symbols etc. which are all back-end bugs. For me developing a medium-sized C++ app, it's really hell to use and usually printf debugging is MUCH faster in the sense that I have the time to find and fix my problem through an iterative recompile cycle sometimes before gdb has even finished parsing my binary
I can't tell if you misspelled narrow or if "narro" is somehow referring to "narrated" type content we now see so much of. Or even just weird narrative things (eg, recipes).

Their brand is as tainted as Meta's, which was bad enough to merit a rebranding from Facebook.
The government's motion (that Reason, to their credit, link in the first paragraph) is much more helpful on the actual case.

In this case, the answer is kinda both. Administrative law stuff like this can be heard without violating the seventh amendment under the two-part test cited in I.A (which was affirmed by a 2024 decision), and I.B points out that he implicitly consented by litigating in front of the ALJ for four years (and that implicit consent has been upheld as consent to avoid exactly this kind of gamesmanship).
One I've heard a lot from boomers is:

> What is the impact of that relative to the other products and commerce you participate in?

The impact is exactly what is pointed out in the article - someone in the local police department could use it against me.

> Do you call your gas company to make sure they didn’t buy from OPEC?

No, because that doesn't affect me.

See, you keep clinging to some morality claim, and I am explicitly not. I am saying that there is potentially a direct impact on abuse against me personally.
I agree with your observations, and that they both could and should do better. However, they have the privilege of being the AI company, the most hyped-up brand in the most hyped-up segment of economy - at this point, the impact of their naming strategy is approximately nil. Sure, they're confusing their users a bit, but their users are very highly motivated.

It's like with videogames - most of them commit all kinds of UI/UX sins, and I often wish they didn't, but excepting extreme cases, the players are too motivated to care or notice.
The wealthy have been getting citizenship in other countries and building "passport portfolios" in record numbers for a reason. Always good to have an exit strategy when your own government is increasingly corrupt and society is breaking down.

You can buy your way into a lot of countries at very affordable rates (https://www.businessinsider.com/cheapest-countries-where-you...) and there are citizenship brokers that can help you.
OK, so let's say I used a Facebook account 10 years ago (I didn't). And they know: Roughly (by IP geolocation) where I lived three homes ago, that I liked Fallout 3, and who three of my high school buddies were, none of whom do anything with me or live within 1000 miles of me. Now I no longer use Facebook or any of Meta's web sites. What can they do with this old-ass information (or even any accurate new information that they could magically derive from it), that would affect my life today?

The resend verification email function in model.js doesn't check the input against database and can probably be used for nefarious purposes.
If it would increase it then you wouldn't need any DEI requirements to get the employer to do it because that would be their pre-existing incentive.

Also, sometimes the data is actually available. Demographic data is generally public. If you need to hire 100 people and you start off with broad-based advertising and then after a week have filled a quarter the positions from disproportionately one area, the normal incentive is not to stop advertising in that area, but if more candidates from that area are going to mess up your numbers, now that is your incentive even if it reduces the rate at which you fill the positions.
> If someone at reason is doing unbiased investigative serious journalism

This article isn't claimed to to be "investigative journalism", it is a blog post. Judging it by the standards of "investigative journalism" is unfair, because it never claimed to be that.

But is there any evidence that the factual (as opposed to matter of opinion) claims of the blog post are untrue? I haven't seen any.

And NYTimes, WaPo, whatever, publish opinionated blog posts too (or at least they used to, blogging isn't what it once was.) And at least some of the "unbiased investigative serious journalism" they do publish turns out to be biased error-ridden hit pieces.

> Some do journalism and everyone else knows the value of wearing it as a costume.

The author of this blog post isn't a journalist and isn't claiming to be one. They are a lawyer posting about their own case. What's wrong with that?

Where Geniuses Hide Today – By Tomas Pueyo
> even your link distinguishes between "has a formal embassy" and "has unofficial representative missions" - with basically every country in the second bucket. Doesn't this contradict your point?

No. That's what de facto means. Taiwan and America can do everything two countries do, with Taiwan being afforded the same rights and privileges--in America--as China, in some cases more, and America afforded the same in Taiwan.

If someone will trade you a name on a map for boots on the ground, you take boots on the ground.

> Also from your link, "Due to the One-China policy held by the People's Republic of China on the Chinese mainland, other states are only allowed to maintain relations with one of the two countries"

Okay. Now look at the real world. America and Europe buy and sell weapons with Taiwan. They host Taiwanese embassies.

Flip it around. Taiwan is officially recognised and we have unofficial embassies in China that are bigger than the "official" one we have in Taiwan, do business and military dealings with China at the level of a state, and send dignitaries to meet with Beijing's leaders (but not Taipei's). Would anyone take seriously the official designation we gave Taiwan as a consolation prize?

> that statement feels kind of callous to the people of Taiwan

I'd love to meet the Taiwanese who think this isn't jingoistic nonsense being whipped up by Beijing, this century's Falklands.

The 2000s should have been China's century. In an alternate timeline, Xi respects the system of transfer of power the CCP rose to power under. Hong Kong isn't brutally suppressed, but gently brought into China's circle until--uncontroversially--becoming an indisputed part of China per treaty. Taiwan votes to reunify with the mainland. China isn't ringed by countries freaking out about what stupid conflict Beijing will pick next in its backyard, but guilding ties with the emerging superpower.

Instead, America got dealt the hand of a lifetime with Xi driving the Pacific towards D.C. while Putin does the same in Europe. Both countries have pulled back their strategic depth to their borders and given America breathing room to eventually, someday, get its act together again.

Maybe from straight actuarial tables, but those don't take into account Trump's incredible wealth, immediate access to the greatest doctors in the world, nor the fact that his parents lived until 88 & 93 years old.

No, but the chat divs are all contenteditable.
I don't disagree at all, the process of human storytelling is key to art. But at the same time I'm still going to use genAI 99% of the time when I just want a pretty picture, when I'm in the mood for doing it myself I will, but most of the time I probably won't be.
Boiling frog. The advances are happening so rapidly, but incrementally, that it's not being registered. It just seems like the normal state.

Compare LLMs from a year or two ago with the ones out today on practically any task. It's night and day difference.

This is specially so when you start taking into account these "reasoning" models. It's mind blowing how much better they are than "non-reasoning" models for tasks like planning and coding.

Well, a good starting place might be the fact that committed small-govt candidates — ones like Ron Paul who will actually vote for cuts — almost never get elected into higher office. And even Rep. Paul himself argued that it was morally incumbent[0] on him to fight for earmarks for his district — which strongly suggests that even the constituency of the most smallgov federal politician has little enthusiasm for his principles.

As for professed advocates of smallgovt who actually get into the Senate or even the presidency, I think you can look for yourself how that's worked out.

It's kind of annoying that some of the best models out there have a tendency to produce very not safe for work results.

Look mom, I can make some cool astrology images for you! Whoops, that's boobs. That too. And this one. Ehh, hold up, I need to add a pile of negative prompts first...
I would really like an objective explanation of why this attitude "that the whole point of art is the process of making it" is anything but pretentiousness in it's purest form.

Surely the actual artifact itself has some value? And even if one supposes that a key part of the value is self-exploration (which I disagree with generally because that presupposes an excessive level of self-importance), then being able to iterate more easily by leveraging AI art can be a huge advantage for many artists.

This is not to say that actual fundamental skills like drawing ability etc. aren't valuable. And it will be hard to develop them if you rely entirely on AI, especially while learning. But I don't see how it is logically necessary at all to completely exclude AI.

To me, this is a rationalization for disliking AI because it displaces humans to some degree or another. I think that is a fair reaction, but the rationale is nonsense.

I predict that the number of people who start to resent AI will increase dramatically over the coming few decades. Especially if we can't improve the structure of society to be less centered around exploiting labor.
I think one feature is like a reverse tunnel, so that a freelancer/consultant can check/maintain their software that's running in a customer's data center.
It seems to be pointing at something attempting to visualize JIRA activity, but with a lot of content-security-policy warnings?

Seems like someone screwed up some load balancer settings.
I waste so much time figuring out how to get a previously functional tool to stop shoving AI generated crap I don't want and never asked for in front of me. They either provide no way to turn it off or hide how to turn it off deep in settings surrounded by dark patterns.

I think it's because management at these companies has set AI usage metrics as a critical KPI. Thus teams are highly incentivized to just stick that shit in front of everyone and make sure it's hard or impossible to turn off. I actually think AI can be genuinely useful in the right context but this insane over-rotation to shoving it down our throats risks turning AI into this decade's Microsoft Bob - universally despised simply on general principle.
I like the idea - it seems temporary but fun.

Domain servers would never do this. Redirection happens through the HTTP protocol or associated mechanisms not through DNS.
As someone who works with a lot of international people with names I’m not familiar with, it can be really helpful to have pronouns. At a minimum. But also I like freedom. Call people what they want to be called.

I suspect France/EU would be willing to set him up in a government funded research lab - possibly they already have something going that they could put him in charge of. No issues with incorporation.
Apropos of SIMD – I'm also surprised that the inner loop of the rejection-based algorithm optimized to MMX, but not the analytic algorithm!

I would like to think the rejection algorithm after -O3 is benefiting from branch prediction and all sorts of modern speculation optimizations. But I imagine the real test of that would be running these benchmarks would be running these benchmarks on a 5-10ish year old uarch.

Hi folks, I am new here. Just wanted to introduce you all to a product we've been building called Prompt Studio. Prompt Studio is the easiest way to create, test, run, and deploy agents. You build agents in Prompt Studio using only a prompt, and we automatically optimize and connect them to the Toolhouse infrastructure, preloaded with tools.

I'd love to have feedback from every forum to refine the offering better!
>At this point Meta doesn't even worry about these news and specially right now that it is trying to please the current adminstration

You may not agree with the current administration, but they won the popular vote. What would you rather them do, defy the current administration? Sounds pretty anti-democratic to me. Am I missing a deeper principle here or is it just a matter of "companies should do what I think is right"?
Bellingcat has stated that their funding sources include Open Society and US National Endowment for Democracy.

Agreed. One of the greatest liberties here in the US is that we are free to sue and counter-sue whomever we like - the free market of the people unfettered and unchained!
the system 1/2 analogy is obviously imperfect for token prediction, but the paper does provide evidence that uncertainty processing in early layers (layer 2) affects decisions before empowerment processing in later layers (layer 72) can influence them. quick decisions based on uncertainty before deeper strategic evaluation does echo how fast thinking can override slow thinking, even if the mechanisms are substantially different.
Careful what you wish for. Next thing you know they're going to have names like Betsy and be full of unique quirky behavior to help remind us that they're different people.
Hey thanks for posting. I got this digitized the other day and threw it up there.

It's so cool that this facility (concept) could make:

1 billion gallons of fresh water / day from the sea

2 GW of electricity

phosphorous via electric furnace for fertilizer

food for 6 million people

aluminum sheet and bar stock

ammonia from electrolytic hydrogen

caustic and chlorine from brine electrolysis
That's probably a finer detailed point than NASA.gov's public blog typically needs to worry about.
If Kagi made a cheaper "no AI" tier I would be happy to subscribe. AI is costly to run, so even if you don't use the AI it's priced into your subscription fee - you're paying for an expensive product you don't want or use.

e: according to Kagi's pricing page they do have a 'no AI' tier, but it limits your number of searches to 300/month. Seems like a totally arbitrary limitation, but its still better than forced AI.
Edit: Retracting my original statement.
>They should take all the funds and time spent on this every year as part of every award, and just fund programs specifically designed to attract inner-city kids to science, or funnel talented, low-income, high school students to be mentored, taught advanced classes, etc.

I won’t do it, but don’t care if others do in email signatures. I find it odd when it’s done in a meeting but I still won’t offer them up even if others are. I have been asked for mine a couple of times (and this irritates me…if you want me to respect that your pronouns are important to you, respect that “my” pronouns are unimportant to me). I respond with something akin to “your best guess will be fine with me”.
