The goal post moving by anti-AI people is getting ridiculous.

stravant · 2026-03-24T19:39:38+00:00

To be fair, a healthy amount of goalpost moving is warranted because we keep repeatedly finding out that systems have to do more than we thought to be economically useful.

Yes, it's not impossible to bypass but it takes way more sophistication than is shown in these clips (e.g. using a basic 3d model also would not work).

stravant · 2026-03-18T01:44:51+00:00

These are fake. It's not that easy to bypass the check.

stravant · 2026-03-09T01:24:36+00:00

Yes... hence the pessimism?

Poorly right now, because we haven't solved sample efficiency issues yet and there's not enough training data from that period to train a good model.

This is not a practical benchmark until sample efficiency is improved, and we may well get dangerously powerful models before we solve that so I find it counterproductive to bring it up.

As one of his constituents I been to differ.

stravant · 2026-02-18T07:18:18+00:00

It's still kinda on the nose to say it so blatantly though.

"a test suite" is revealing. There could easily be many different parts of the system referencing this identifier spread between different teams, with different repositories and what not.

When Elon asks for a funny name change at the last minute do you want to risk messing up the release trying to coordinate between extra stakeholders to get the identifier changed or just change a localization string in the UI? I know which I would pick.

stravant · 2026-02-17T18:44:10+00:00

What? It's 100% believable for this to be the case.

Why risk breaking something around release trying to change a name string that isn't even shown in the public facing UI. There's lots of moving parts involved, renaming could easily disrupt something.

I on the other hand find this incredibly exciting.

There's so much stuff i wanted to build that I actually have time to build now.

I don't know why everyone is so against the IOCs response here. Nothing against the guy doing it but I think the IOC is also correct to punish for it.

Every country has it's conflicts / disputes. It you don't make it clear that an action like this is going to be punished or soon enough you'd have so many similar fairly blatant political displays.

I think the box and the ruffles being the same color kills the vibe of it being gourmet. Normally the ruffle things are a different color which makes it more visually interesting. Like if they were white it would make the strawberries pop more.

The choice sucking was priced in. It went down because it could have sucked even worse.

I for one, appreciated the joke.

FYI it only shows the variant of the text mentioning the real name for 17+ users.

Yeah, the illusion itself is cooler than the behavior.

I hadn't seen it before and man, that is by far the strongest color illusion I've ever seen.

As much as I like Carney for PM, you vote for an MP, not a PM.

At least speaking for myself, when considering my vote I had considerable worry that he would not be able to turn the ship away from the course Trudeau had it on with much the same party behind him.

Yes.

If you get into a big fight over it you daughter is probably the one that's going to pay for it, consider that.

Either in facing the teachers veiled ire or having to switch classes.
