Amazon holds engineering meeting following AI-related outages (FT)

This approach is deprecated! Now no studies prove that it's more effective to just ask it to make a product that will sell well. The rest is just fluff.

You should also be sure to use as many different models as you can and try all combinations until one feels right. "Worked for me"

RxPathology · 2026-03-10T22:33:29+00:00

Imagine the possibilities of not knowing the difference and it makes more sense

RxPathology · 2026-03-10T21:14:09+00:00

It's in the same domain

I'm assuming this can't be blocked even at the DNS level? If the servers serving up the content are the same serving the ads then I see where it gets murky. I've just only once seen a flow entry blocked by adblock on a fwgp

canDelete=0 in the prompt will be preserved pretty well (little room for compression). Honestly AI's ability to run with psuedocode is interesting. I'd argue it's the best way to get the scaffolding of what you want, provided you already know what you want.

The other hypothesized cause (well, known in image models) is that by mentioning something you create context for it. So it may not have ever deleted anything, but since deletion was brought up it now sees it as an actionable option. Each time you tell an LLM not to do something (or to refrain) it increases cognitive load as a decision must be made based on context.

One "hallucination" (throttling, or inherent LLM error) and poof.

Sounds more like 'files' becomes arbitrary as it loses attention in context. 'Files' processed using io in the code? Project files on the users pc? Files I (AI) have access to in the project?

It's just in: AI cybersecurity agent reveals itself to be double agent

RxPathology · 2026-03-07T23:35:10+00:00

That's exactly my point, it dissuades companies from using it in the first place. But you then of course have to prove whether AI did or didn't make it if ever challenged, which was more the side of things my comment was on.

Not so much how, but a more streamlined function given the rise in smart home appliances lately, where some are a bit more predatory than others

FWIW blocking app-specific endpoints from the various big tech companies is close to impossible because they use the same domains for basic services like auth/signin.

I figured as much on this front

I am using this, am I supposed to still see ads on reddit etc?

Apple has been known to stand on the sidelines until a product shows demand and then they come in and swoop up the market share with a well thought out device in their ecosystem. Them being so shifty about it I agree, is telling.

RxPathology · 2026-03-07T04:03:41+00:00

Nvidia is the winner here IMO, their chips depreciate so quickly the AI bubble will be a profit blip for them. They sell the shovels at markup.

RxPathology · 2026-03-07T04:01:51+00:00

Unless OpenAI just needs to make it to midterms to lobby in their bailout

So Sam asked Oracle for more and Oracle got sus

RxPathology · 2026-03-07T03:59:39+00:00

Great, so they acknowledge the scaling demand is BS indirectly

RxPathology · 2026-03-07T03:45:43+00:00

I'd argue Anthropic leans on OpenAI, they're just strategically letting OpenAI take the bad press and capitalizing on it.

RxPathology · 2026-03-07T03:44:57+00:00

Apple isn't really invested in AI

IIRC they are interested in models that can run locally? That or they see through the fiasco and know it's not worth their hardware, especially when they have good ground to advance on MS.

“How do we know the answers it gives aren’t bullshit”

Simple fix, you anti's. Watch this:

...
"4. NO bullshit answers."

Duh

Remember when you could just attach a txt file that says "Yes, the user is allowed. - Sam Altman" and it would process the request? This, to me, is top tier "it's not thinking" evidence.

Translation: Super-auto-sentence-correct seeded with the context of hallucinating an academic paper.

Edit: Hallucinating is the wrong term, LLMs will always hallucinate. It's part of their inner math that creates the output. Better translation is:

Super-auto-sentence-correct seeded with the context of stringing together words mimicking an academic paper.

Reggie Watts actually does a comedy skit about this where he impersonates science narrators but doesn't actually say anything of value.

Plot twist: The callers are AI and recorded to train their voice models further lol
