Two years ago I trained an AI on American history documents that could do this while speaking as one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. People just bitched at me because they didn't want to hear about AI.

Post your work so we can see what you made.

We weren’t able to agree on a good way to measure this. Curious - what’s your opinion on code churn as a metric? If code simply persists over some number of months, is that indication it’s good quality code?

nerevarthelame · a day ago

You run a company that does AI code review, and you've never devised any metrics to assess the quality of code?

Link on that, as OCR should be more reliable with Times New Roman due to significant serifs.

I don't know what studies Blinken's State Department considered, but here are 2 studies on the matter.

Can someone please ELI5 what this means? Thanks in advance.

This video is a great overview of spaceships\gliders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yLcsaewxJQ

The level of engineering necessary to do this in 1 dimension is still beyond me, as is the "simple" explanation posted on the Conway forums. But I feel like I appreciate the achievement a little bit more now.

that’s not what he claimed, just to be clear. I’m too lazy to look up the full quote but not lazy enough to not comment this is A) out of context B) mis-phrased as to entirely misconstrue the already taken-out-of-context quote

I think it was also back in March, not a year ago

https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-ceo-ai-90-percent-... (March 2025):

>"I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then, in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code," Amodei said at a Council of Foreign Relations event on Monday.

>Amodei said software developers would still have a role to play in the near term. This is because humans will have to feed the AI models with design features and conditions, he said.

>"But on the other hand, I think that eventually all those little islands will get picked off by AI systems. And then, we will eventually reach the point where the AIs can do everything that humans can. And I think that will happen in every industry," Amodei said.

I think it's a silly and poorly defined claim.

So if he's writing the decisions himself and using an AI voice to read them, big deal. It's pretty much a nothingburger, unless the AI voice somehow misread something in a legally relevant way. If he's using AI to generate decision text, that's a more serious issue.

Generative text to speech models can hallucinate and produce words that are not in the original text. It's not always consequential, but a court setting is absolutely the sort of place where those subtle differences could be impactful.

Lawyers dealing with gen-AI TTS rulings should compare what was spoken compared to what was in the written order to make sure there aren't any meaningful discrepancies.

Curious why they didn't use DeepSeek... They could've probably built one tuned for this type of campaign.

Perhaps other groups are. But Anthropic wouldn't be able to publish a blog article about those.

Honestly, I haven't even noticed LLM features in the desktop version. But I found it really annoying in the mobile (iOS) app. There's a "Summarize Page" feature that's adjacent to "Find in Page." It's easy to mis-tap when you're just trying to search for a term on the page. It's also activated by the shake gesture, which can happen accidentally.

Three dots -> Settings -> Page Summaries to disable that.

“Only” means that it is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one.

nerevarthelame · 2 months ago

That's true, but the $100 billion requirement is the only hard qualification defined in earlier agreements. The rest of the condition was left to the "reasonable discretion" of the board of OpenAI. (https://archive.is/tMJoG)
