Wow, I guess humans and LLMs aren't so different after all!
Psst, check the usernames of the people in this thread!
yes, computing systems use energy. If our energy grid is overly reliant on the burning of fossil fuels that release harmful emissions, that doesn’t mean we need to stop the advancement of our computers. It means we need to stop using so much fossil fuels in our grid.
Now where have I heard something like this before? I'm trying to think of something, but I just can't quite seem to remember...

is this trying to say "discrimination against racists is the real racism"? ... Would that be "racismism"?
I think they were responding to the implication in self's original comment that LLMs were claiming to evaluate code in-model and that calling out to an external python evaluator is 'cheating.' But actually as far as I know it is pretty common for them to evaluate code using an external interpreter. So I think the response was warranted here.
That said, that fact honestly makes this vulnerability even funnier because it means they are basically just letting the user dump whatever code they want into eval() as long as it's laundered by the LLM first, which is like a high-school level mistake.

Now this is interesting. I've been thinking for some time now that traditional computer/smartphone interfaces are on the way out for all but a few niche applications.
Instead, everyone will have their own AI assistant, which you'll interact with naturally the same way as you interact with other people. Need something visual? Just ask for the latest stock graph for MSFT for example.
God, I hope not. Maybe it's just me, but this sounds insanely annoying? It kind of reminds me of the objection I've seen to the metaverse, where it's actually a more inefficient way to do stuff, so it doesn't make sense to imagine it replacing the text-based internet.
Like, I'm not even a fan of smartphones these days, but surely in a world where you could only access information via yelling at your smart glasses, the invention people would be crying out for would be a way to use it silently with your hands, with a screen you could use to easily show it to other people...?
I have never been a huge fan of most of the scp stuff (not that it's bad, it's just not really my thing), but I have reread that series several times at this point, it's so good!
ok but for real... it's not great for finding actual answers to queries, but I find like 800x more interesting results with search.marginalia.nu than any other search engine. It's the only search engine that I find actively fun to just browse around on recreationally.
I mean, you say this as though Banning Self Driving Cars is some controversial policy action, rather than just literally the current state of the law in most areas. The point is that it's weird to legalize them when they're not ready for prime time just because you figure "the future is coming," because usually we make laws around technology based on how the technology works in the real world, not how we figure it'll probably work in the hypothetical inevitable magic techno-future.
I mean they do throw up a lot of legal garbage at you when you set stuff up, I'm pretty sure you technically do have to agree to a bunch of EULAs before you can use your phone.
I have to wonder though if the fact Google is generating this text themselves rather than just showing text from other sources means they might actually have to face some consequences in cases where the information they provide ends up hurting people. Like, does Section 230 protect websites from the consequences of just outright lying to their users? And if so, um... why does it do that?
Even if a computer generated the text, I feel like there ought to be some recourse there, because the alternative seems bad. I don't actually know anything about the law, though.
