This is just a personal anecdote, but for the past year or so, the software I use on the daily has never been more buggy.

> As far as AI safety issues go, the solution is probably to fight fire with fire. Have multiple redundant, independent AIs, and the good AIs can fight the bad AIs, and hopefully, having access to more hardware, the good AIs will win.

And they must be able to run on consumer hardware to guarantee this independence.

I'll take everyone on earth having more capability instead of 3-4 labs controlling said capability with a nonzero chance of said capability all going negative at the same time.

off-topic: I've made a habit of removing all those `si` or `igshid` or `unique_share_id` (thanks airbnb for making it obvious, I guess) and I wish I'd have a "middleware" that removes them when I copy something, but I'm too lazy and it would not be cross-platform.

some apps have gotten sneaky though and made every shared URL an apparently unique one :/

A system that never forgets is not always a good thing. I'm not sure what the maximal scope (beyond editors) the author wishes this applied to is, but there are many cases where it is a positive for things to be erased. Privacy concerns is one example.

Not everyone needs that large of a model, though.

How is this "common sense"? The question of what consciousness is, what it emerges from, etc. literally have no proved answer at the moment.

Take this statement: "consciousness emerges from sufficient complexity in any system". Neither you or I can prove it right or wrong, but we can both make an assumption that if it was right, then there would be a way for an LLM to be conscious.

I'm not arguing that they are, I'm saying being this confident that they are not is the exact same as being confident that they are.

Being able to describe how humans likely feel is not evidence of the model feeling empathy.

How are you making this confident of a claim? Do you have insight into how consciousness is a thing, allowing you to definitely say it doesn't exist in this case?

They are, I have people at work building RAG search engines for stuff that works just fine using full text search, or if you really need it, using a cheap model in codex/opencode.

You underestimate the ability of people to overengineer things.

Seems like the logical thing to ban from your stomach for the time periods you need acetaminophen is the beer, unless I'm missing something.

ok, but they still observe it and you still have to deal with it in your code.

our personal convictions don't change that fact.

I remember using them in a massive SQL query that needed to generate a GIS data set from multiple tables with an ungodly amount of JOINs and sub-queries to achieve ID stability. Don't ask :p

For those ~~curious~~ worried, no, this was not a security sensitive context.
