France has nukes

We’ve had White-out for almost a century now. They most certainly could’ve corrected those mistakes instead of starting over.

I’ve done a bit of work on this front a few years ago. We had a number of simulators that can tell you the likelihood that something binds to a specific protein, and you’re basically just searching through all possible compounds to find things that bind to a target while minimizing their interactions with other proteins that would be known to cause problems in the human body. When we find promising candidates, we send them off to a lab to synthesize and test in vitro.

This kind of search problem isn’t exactly easy to automate mainly because naive solutions are very expensive. It’s never been a problem of outputting nonsense. The automations use the same evaluation metrics as human researchers.

And how long are those systems expected to last compared to those in the article?

Like suodiu, but gold.

The intended audience of “stochastic parrot” was other AI researchers who do use the term “stochastic” on a regular basis.

Throwing an LLM at it is probably one of the most effective calls for maintainers. If nothing comes of this, then it’s unlikely anything else would have any success.

Why does it matter that Altman fails when there are so many other companies waiting to take their place?

In regular people terms, it’s like if I saved up $100 and spent it to buy shares of an index fund. Yeah, it’s going to take a while to make back the money I spent, but those $100 didn’t just disappear. I can sell those shares and get back approximately what I originally spent on it.

This holds when + is a group operation (concatenation) acting on the set of all possible finite strings.

As long as you don’t reinvent the protocol

This is rsync. The “piss” refers to AI code contributions.

Implying that the only way to use LLMs is with 0 human oversight.

That would make sense if you were an actual athlete looking to compete in the Olympics, but that’s not the situation that OP is in.

Or do what we’ve already been doing for ages? Let the agent run on a remote server and just use your laptop to ssh into that server when your input is needed.

That’s stealing.

It would also apply to child labour and slavery. We may have outlawed it locally, but that doesn’t change the fact that companies who make use of it will be at an advantage, so we just ended up outsourcing it.

The biggest strength of LLMs is in processing a huge amount of text very quickly. I imagine that contributes a lot to military intelligence.

We get tons of link posts from both HN and Substack. Most of them end up with positive net votes.

Yes, I acknowledge that it isn’t malicious software. That’s why I compare it to a zip bomb. The important part isn’t “software”. It’s the “malicious”. None of what Obelisk said relies on this thing being software.
