28 million watch sales may suggest that not everyone shares your opinion.

As someone who has owned every single Apple Watch model/generation and love the hardware, I agree with GP on the terrible UX of the app grid.

It depends on the metric you use.

Yes, AI text could be considered higher quality than traditional SEO, but at the same time, it's also very much not, because it always sounds like it might be authoritative, but you could be reading something hallucinated.

In the end, the text was still only ever made to get visitors to websites, not to provide accurate information.

I keep hearing this repeated over and over as if it’s a unique problem for AI. This is DEFINITELY true of human generated content too.

> The problem here is societal, not technological.

I disagree. I think it's both. Yes, we need good frameworks and incentivizes on a economic/political level. But also, saying that it's not a tech problem is the same as saying "guns don't kill people". The truth is, if there was no AI tech developed, we would not need to regulate it so that greed does not take over. Same with guns.

Same could be said for the Internet as we know it too. Literally replace AI with Internet above and it reads equally true. Some would argue (me included some days) we are worse off as a society ~30 years later. That’s also a legitimate case that can be made it was a huge benefit to society too. Will the same be said of AI in 2042?

Side note but the contrast between background and text here makes this really hard to read

There are an almost infinite number of things that can be hallucinated, though. You can't maintain a list of scientific papers or legal cases that don't exist! Hallucinations (almost certainly) aren't specific falsehoods that need to be erased...
jsjohnst · 3 months ago
The level of hallucinations with o3 are no different than the level of hallucinations from most (all?) human sources in my experience. Yes, you definitely need to cross check, but yes, you need to do that for literally everything else, so it feels a bit redundant to keep preaching that as if it’s a failing of the model and not just an inherent property of all free sharing of information between two parties.

What a great future we are building. If AI is supposed to run everything, everywhere....then there will be 2, maybe 3, AI companies. And nobody outside those companies knows how they work.

I think you meant to say:

And nobody knows how they work.

I remember the saying that from 90% to 99% is a 10x increase in accuracy, but 99% to 99.999% is a 1000x increase in accuracy.

Even though it's a large10% increase first then only a 0.999% increase.

The saying goes:

From 90% to 99% is a 10x reduction in error rate, but 99% to 99.999% is a 1000x decrease in error rates.

People (including me) said this for a long time about Yahoo! too. Kinda ironic they both merged and basically died together…

Yawho!?

What do you mean ban? The bandwidth between macs isn't enough to do inference effectively.

> The bandwidth between macs isn't enough to do inference effectively.

While it’s certainly no where near the memory bandwidth, 80Gbps is on par with most high end, but still affordable, machine to machine connections. Then add on the fact you can have hundreds of gigabytes of shared ram on each machine.
