My biggest sorrow right now is the fact that my beloved emdash is a major signal for AI generated content. I've been using it for decades now but these days, I almost always pause for a second.

You’re absolutely right. I hate AI writing — it’s not that I hate AI, it’s that it makes everything it says sound a specific combination of smug and authoritative — No matter the content. Once you realize it’s not saying anything, that’s the real aha moment.

Whenever I hear the words "paper boat" I'm put in mind of a certain [1] vtuber [2].

[1] https://youtu.be/pYVEIX7nSEs?t=769

[2] For those unfamiliar with the vtuber scene: This video is not AI generated. She's a legitimate content creator; the views and subs on that video are real and organic. She's a real human with a video camera and face tracking that maps her real human face's expressions and movements onto an anime character model in real time, broadcast on a livestream. There's a whole ecosystem of supporting software, specialized model artists and riggers, agencies that provide all sorts of support to individual creators in exchange for a cut of ad / superchat / sub / merch / event revenue...the vtuber rabbit hole goes quite deep.

As a coincidence there are 3 ShowHNs on the front page right now all with “boat” in their name. Showboat, Rowboat and Paperboat.

There are multiple frontier models to choose from.

They’re not all going to disappear.

This seems absurdly naive to me with the path big tech has taken in the last 5 years. There’s literally infinite upside and almost no downside to constraining the ecosystem for the big players.

You don’t think that eventually Google/OpenAI are going to go to the government and say, “it’s really dangerous to have all these foreign/unreglated models being used everywhere could you please get rid of them?”. Suddenly they have an oligopoly on the market.

Personally in LA I had a Waymo try to take a right as I was driving straight down the street. It almost T-boned me and then honked at me. I don’t know if there has been a change to the algorithm lately to make them more aggressive but it was pretty jarring to see it mess up that badly

I suppose that means the museum is doing its job then: educate people totally ignorant of the history of computing. Next time that younger person sees a floppy disk they will know what it is.

Absolutely!

This place is great, but my work had a function here and I walked around with one of our juniors and never have I felt so old. The pure astonishment and confusion when looking at a “floppy disk” aged me instantly.

This is like the sloppiest of AI slop to reach the front page here.

TLDR: Just concatenate over all images and wave away any potential complications from doing that.

I thought I had a great startup idea. It was niche, but a solid global market. It was unique. There was a genuine pain point being solved. My MVP solved it. The pricing worked, the tiers were sound.

At least ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude told me it was. I did so many rounds of each one evaluating the other, trying to poke holes etc. Reviewing the idea and the "research", the reasoning. Plugging the gaps.

Then I started talking to real people about their problems in this space to see if this was one of them. Nope, not really. It kinda was, but not often enough to pay for a dedicated service, and not enough of a pain to move on from free workarounds.

Beware of AI reviewing AI. Always talk to real people to validate.

Bukhmanizer · 16 days ago

It’s weird when the failure modes of AI are similar.

I once solved a Leetcode problem kind of unorthodox and both ChatGPT and Gemini both said it was wrong in the same way. Then I asked both of them to give me a counter example and only Gemini was able to realize the counter example would have actually worked.

When thinking about automation people overindex on their current class biases. For 20 years we heard that robots were going to take over the “burger flipper” jobs. Why was it so easy to think that robots could replace fast food workers? Because they were the lowest rung on the career ladder, so it felt natural that they would be the first ones to get replaced.

Similarly, it’s easy to think that the lowly peons in the engineering world are going to get replaced and we’ll all be doing the job of directors and CEOs in the future, but that doesn’t really make sense to me.

Being able to whip your army of AI employees 3% better than your competitor doesn’t (usually) give any lasting advantage.

What does give an advantage is: specialized deep knowledge, building relationships and trust with users and customers, and having a good sense of design/ux/etc.

Like maybe that’s some of the job of a manager/director/CEO, but not anyone that I’ve worked with.
