Oh please - it’s an honest assessment not a personal attack and it’s likely accurate. That you think otherwise says more about you than it does about me.

I prefer honest truth to polite fiction.

It’s better to attempt to see the world as it is than delude yourself with bullshit.

Is this the same cope police use when they profile people? It's actually absurd. That's okay brother, you tell it like it is with your "honest truth"

Yes, it's clear scientists developing vaccines have done more positive in the world than those developing tobacco products.

That's not the question I asked though.

If it's so clear, then your implication is strange. Can you not imply the answer you're looking for from this clarity? It's clear that you want an answer to a leading question instead of the truth.

doesn't actually stop all cheaters.

We could have a better discussion around this if we recognize that failing to stop 100% of something isn't a prerequisite to rigorously evaluating the tradeoffs.

I think the problem with this line of reasoning is that it's one-sided. Essentially you are saying "Just trust me bro" on behalf of a self-evaluating company.

I'd argue the potential for abuse is a perfectly reasonable discussion to have, and doesn't have much bearing on the effectiveness of anticheat, but I understand that's not the point you are trying to make.

But don't you think this might be a case where there is both self-congragulation and actual progress?

That's a fair question, and I agree. I just find it odd how we shout across the aisle, whether in favor or against. It's a case of thinking the tech is neat, while cringing at all the money-people and their ideations.

The cynicism/denial on HN about AI is exhausting. Half the comments are some weird form of explaining away the ever increasing performance of these models

I've been reading this website for probably 15 years, its never been this bad. many threads are completely unreadable, all the actual educated takes are on X, its almost like there was a talent drain

Making an account just to point out how these comments are far more exhausting, because they don't engage with the subject matter. They are just agreeing with a headline and saying, "See?"

You say, "explaining away the increasing performance" as though that was a good faith representation of arguments made against LLMs, or even this specific article. Questionong the self-congragulatory nature of these businesses is perfectly reasonable.
