Yes, argue against unsubstantiated bias with more unsubstantiated bias. Anyone who knows about the high percentage of educated immigrants in the tech sector and who knows the historical importance of immigrants to American innovation could easily find this highly relevant, especially the historical high ratio of successful immigrant founders in SV itself including a couple of white South Africans that come to mind -- at least one of which who seems to have had a less than by-the-book immigrant status and could have been deported in today's climate if someone wished it to be so.
The UK leaving the EU is one
of the highest ranked stories on this site for similar reasons no doubt.
fyi: You headline with "cross-industry", lead with fancy engineering productivity graphics, then caption it with small print saying its from your internal team data. Unless I'm completely missing something, it comes of as a little misleading and disingenuous. Maybe intro with what your company does and your data collection approach.
Apologies, that is poor wording on our part. It's internal data from engineers that use Greptile, which are tens of thousands of people from a variety of industries. As opposed to external, public data, which is where some of the charts are from.
You have existing counterexamples in other countries who don't employ your suggested tweeks. It's a sign you should go back to the drawing board (and history books).
Ask the customers: Ok great. I can already see how well that would've worked in the past. Tobacco smokers are pissed off at the rioting slaves for slowing down shipments. Boo-hoo.
There's stats being thrown about that this Black Friday the number of people buying shit decreased even though the amount of shit bought was higher. Even if you ignore that point but can concede the growing wealth inequality is a thing (consumer class is shrinking but getting richer), you should be able to understand why giving more weight to the wealthier class should be thought about twice.
> I was looking at notes I wrote in 2019 and even that gave me a flavor of looking like a ChatGPT wrote it.
This would have been my first question to the parent, that I guess he never had similar correspondence with this friend prior to 2023. Otherwise it would be hard to convince me without an explanation for the switch (transition duuing formative high school / college years etc).
Yeah, it's hard not to consider the runaway success of games like Stardew Valley as counterexamples to the idea that the creativity is completely gone. But you wouldn't blame someone if they superficially looked at screentshots and thought it was a run of the mill retro pixel game. But it's wild to me that there are people who come from broken homes or rough childhoods who say the game was literally therapy for them and showed them a vision of domestic life or human interaction that they could realistically replicate or at least shoot for in real life.
I'm currently playing a game that is a blatent rip-off of Stardew Valley to the point where I frequently question why they were so obvious. (Or maybe those elements are rip-offs of Harvest Moon, I haven't played Harvest Moon to know.) Still, it's enjoyable. The design elements and places where it does diverge from Stardew Valley make it more enjoyable in my opinion.
As the saying goes, "good artists borrow, great artists steal."
Harvest Moon defines the "Turning round a dilapidated farm in a small village where you give everyone gifts all the time" genre. It all comes from there.
EDIT: Stardew Valley has so many QoL improvements over harvest moon though. The early HM games are punishing.
>And it's ironic that we seem to talk about the Turing Test less than ever now that systems almost everyone can access can arguably pass it now.
Has everyone hastily agreed that it has been passed? Do people argue that a human can't figure out it's talking to an LLM if the user is aware that LLMs exist in the world and is aware of their limitations and that the chat log is able to extend to infinity ( "infinity" is a proxy here for any sufficient time, it could be minutes, days, months, or years)?
In fact, it is blindly easy for these systems to fail the Turing test at the moment. No human would have the patience to continue a conversation indefinitely without telling the person on the other side to kindly fuck off.
No, they haven't agreed because there was never a practical definition of the test. Turing had a game:
>It is played with three people, a man (A), a
woman (B), and an interrogator (C) who may be of either sex. The
interrogator stays in a room apart front the other two. The object of the
game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man
and which is the woman. He knows them by labels X and Y, and at the end
of the game he says either "X is A and Y is B" or "X is B and Y is A." The
interrogator is allowed to put questions to A and B.
>We now ask the question, "What will happen when a machine takes the part
of A in this game?" Will the interrogator decide wrongly as often when the
game is played like this as he does when the game is played between a man
and a woman?
(some bits removed)
It was done more as thought experiment. As a practical test it would probably be too easy to fake with ELIZA type programs to be a good test. So computers could probably pass but it's not really hard enough for most people's idea of AI.
The definition seems to suffice if you give the interrogator as much time as they want and don't limit their world knowledge, which the definition that you cited doesn't seem to limit or constrain? By "world knowledge" I mean any knowledge that includes and is not limited to knowledge about how the machine works and its limitations. Therefore if the machine can't fool Alan Turing specifically then it fails even though it might have fooled some random Joe who's been living under a rock.
Hence since current LLMs are bound to hallucinate given enough time and seem not to able to maintain a conversation context window as robustly as humans, they would inevitably fail?
Yes, this is a simple point that possibly warrants exception to the rule that many people seem to dismiss too easily. Whether you agree with it or not, Trump is taking Europe to task for not standing strongly enough for Judeo-Christian values. When he says Europe is facing "civilization erasure", it's not like he is worried about the erasure of Islamic civilization. If you're weaponizing religion for your politics you shouldn't be surprised if the shepherd gets annoyed. It is a delicate dance regardless though.
After deploying your transparent shit umbrella, your next problem is your own shitty boss or your boss's boss who will get pissed off you are using a transparent umbrella once that transparency starts blowingback on them. Because once your team learns that it's raining shit outside, they will want to know what you're doing to mitigate, reverse, or sidestep the shit. Some of the time, the things you confide to your team in the course of this feedback will piss off adjacent teams or some people up the ladder once they get wind of it (your opinion of some decisions, or the perceived negative consequences of your mitigation strategy on said people) Hence your umbrella being transparent makes what people euphemistically call "managing up" much more fucking annoying. I don't claim that there is an alternative, just that it's a fact of the principled life (one result being getting fired, often ironically for not being a "team player"). I don't have a fix, but would like to hear some if anyone has any.
Yes, but you see it says "view source" not "edit page live". Don't really see why it wouldn't be "omg" for them.
