Nothing solid. All the reporting I see is that numbers are measurable but not on the level many people expected, and that these systems are proving incapable of wholesale replacing employees, which clicks with my own knowledge of some large layoffs accompanied by press releases about streamlining corporate structures using AI and the outgoing employees asking “what AI?” Because they didn’t train an offshore team or document their department responsibilities before being let go.

My suspicion (and many others as well) is that AI is used as a way to cover for large corporate restructuring in the face of money no longer being available for “free” due to interest rates.

What would a decision model add to and audio transcriber?

Humans can be sanctioned and fined, and eventually disbarred if they continue to lie in court filings.

With regard to certain legal questions this has always been the case. AT&T Fought the US Government for 20 years and eventually won because the government gave up. Without some kind of national anti-SLAPP law we're all one irritated oligarch away from having our lives financially ruined.

I am curious what level of trust established law firms treat LLMs with.

a note about "Doom on a preganancy test". It wasn't actually running on the pregnancy test. It was displayed on the tests 1 color LCD screen, but everything else was different hardware. It was a test of hacking the display and what it was capable of in cheap disposable device, not the processing power of the electronics in the test.

I am also interesting knowing how they determined the model was sandbagging rather than just making a poor decision.

Also, this paragraph makes me wonder about all their stats on the exploitation and misalignment charts. If the model is that good at hiding "incriminating information" and sandbagging, are they sure its alignment is that?

Pi * r2 (squared) both pans. Divide smaller pan area by larger pan, now you have the % of how much the smaller pan recipe fills up the larger pan, and the missing % you need to fill. Increase ingredients by that % divided by the filled %.

Small pan area: 20 sq cm Larger pan: 48 sq cm

20 / 48 = .42, I'm missing .58 of the pan. .58 / .42 is 1.38. My recipe needs 2.38x the original to fill the larger pie pan.

Oh yes, absolutely. Meds are extremely useful and given the choice between "fight myself AND the system" or just "fight the system" I'll choose to stop fighting myself every time.

I think it is also worth reframing what "functioning well" means. Society expects certain things of us and our brains function in a way that those things are more difficult. Is that our fault, or society, or some mix? Isn't it possible that society itself could adjust in such a way that people who naturally struggle to sit in a cubicle doing the same thing all day every day could be offered other options? Seems like our capitalistic system that requires "productive" work as measured by those who already control the capital is maybe also a problem here.

I'm on stimulants and I agree that the post you responded to needed reframing. But I think we do ourselves and anyone else who isn't "normal" in body or mind a huge disservice just focusing on acceptance of treatment when there are larger societal changes that could be made.

My statement was perhaps too broad. It is possible for ADHD people to get high off their medications, yes. But that is a signal the dosage is too large. Normal dosage and usage won't get a person "high" in the traditional sense, much in the same way injecting insulin into a healthy person is bad but a diabetic person requires it for standard function, however too high of a dose would still be bad for a diabetic person too.

Suicidal ideation as a side effect is bad. I'm sorry you had that experience.

Its not addiction at all. I literally forget it once or twice a week on average, even on work days. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and on stimulants (went through 3 kinds before we found one that seemed to help).

What "high"? Our brain chemistry literally works differently than neurotypical people and the stimulants don't get us high. In fact they often have a calming effect. I had to fight not to fall asleep at my desk two days this week (Not entirely the medication's fault, lotta family stress wrecking my sleep).

Does tolerance eventually cause the dosage to increase or the medication to cycle? Yes. But as others have mentioned taking the weekend off (or hell, just forgetting periodically in my case) mitigates that to a large extent. And, since there is such a hard time acquiring the medication even with a prescription skipping weekends or vacations has the benefit of seeing people through the inevitable shortage their pharmacy will have.

I'm curious who refused you the refund? I seem to recall it being refunded pretty steadily by everyone who sold it digitally. Maybe I am misremembering.

Still entirely fair to have been turned off by the experience. Plenty of developers or publishers I don't purchase from anymore due to similar shenanigans.

"A while back" -- One week ago.

I am curious if they are still implementing the process or if this particular attacker already figured out a way around it.
