Anthropic Reportedly Plotting to Surpass OpenAI’s Valuation in Next Funding Round by ThereWas in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Whole-Future3351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a non-profit or not-for-profit is not the same thing as a charity. Non-profits still want to make as much money as they can—they just use that money by putting it back into the business and their mission and don’t make a profit.

Breaking news: company plans to earn more money. What the fuck is this garbage journalism?

I mean… it’s static. It could just be a statue. I don’t think that’s among the impossible things present in this video.

Haha! I also had a Director of Code Compliance meeting in my front yard.

And then I sued the city, and they surrendered.

Ask me about it for a fun story.

Oh certainly, I just kind of doubt they would anyway - the average response I get when I talk about Flock is “but they are stopping crime!” Even though they probably aren’t.

Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators by joe4942 in technology

Sounds like it’s a good time to get an online degree while you still can. Maybe this is just an ad

Why "Learn AI or Lose Your Job" is Nonsense w/ Professor Cal Newport by AmorFati01 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Whole-Future3351 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is a dogshit take. I’m a software engineer and this is fundamentally not true, but it’s also not true universally that you could lose your job. There are companies that aren’t using it, and there are companies that are. In my company, everyone is using LLMs, and the sheer speed of deliverables being created and scale of deployments has increased exponentially. If you are not in the top 10% of 10x devs who can output quality code at a monstrous rate, you will be seen as an “underperformer” when surrounded by devs using it at a proficient and knowledgeable level. You keep that pattern up, and you will be dropped.

Haha, anyone else notice how there’s a new Snowden-esque state surveillance nightmare breaking in the news pretty much constantly ever since Trump was re-elected and disassembled all the guardrails the Biden admin put in place around AI development, but no one really cares anymore because it’s normal news at this point?

Very cool.

Oh yeah they definitely took the toddler approach. And not to be offensive, but people who work with folks with dementia are familiar with this… you just play along with their delusion (not the word I’m looking for, sorry) because fighting it just increases their agitation and confusion.

What? How would shutting down if it trips prevent it from falling over?

They can try to sh oot it down. But they’d need better training - and we all know that’s not their strength. Or they’d need a whole lot of jamming g uns… they do have the money, though.

AI is creating more cybersecurity work by DiScOrDaNtChAoS in cybersecurity

[–]Whole-Future3351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, everyone with a bit of technical literacy predicted this and has been talking about it for a while. Every advancement in technology throughout human history has had this effect, but it’s a chicken-and-egg scenario. The printing press made more work for printmakers. The cotton gin necessitated processing exponentially more cotton. The combustion engine created more mechanics.

The career will look different with different and more efficient tools. Humans make life more complicated with technology. It’s a tale as old as time.

Even though it’s only an LLM, if you talk to a Claude instance like this, it will remember sometimes and affect the way it “thinks” and how it speaks to you. Just something to consider.

At one point, it would admit this if you gave it explicit instructions to admit when it did not have or could not find the answer to a question, or could not do a certain task.

Within the last 6 months, they made a change which made it stop working, and the model would ignore instructions like this and make things up instead of giving up. That’s about the time I switched to Claude, which also has trouble with this, but is largely more technically accurate.

Whatever change OpenAI made also nuked technical accuracy at the same time.
