Same thing happened to me. I forced myself to take ~ a year off any recreational programming and can now do small projects here and there but I limit myself. I focus more on music and reading now. I find making games the least taxing programming project I think because it mixes in art, design, and music and programming is a smaller part of the process.

For the record I did not have any of the issues of the above person. I did try to click off the initial image but when I couldn't, I saw the big yellow button which I pressed and realized it was on rails and everything went smoothly from there.

I bet she could do it. Maybe not in a sentence, but at least the Kakeya problem is easy to understand, so maybe these other things would be explainable by an expert. I would like to see them try at least!

fwiw, I feel the same way about biology "Lysing action of the (1,2)b-carotene receptive encephalopathy pathway" type shit.

And even so, why on Earth would tampering with evidence warrant 30 years in prison? That is inhumane.

I'm pretty much hardline anti-AI and even I would say this is too far. If I read documentation or ask my wife to review something, those people did not write the final product. Perhaps it would be mentioned in a citation, like this person has.

I think most people know this and are fine with it. YC owns the site and advertises their stuff on it sometimes. The site itself is not trying to milk you for every penny or trying to exploit you.

Naw, limiting LLMs for an event that's specifically about learning, growing, and collaborating makes a lot of sense. If it ends up dying it won't be because of their stance on LLMs for a conference.

AI can find useful exploits but the highly publicized ones are among a sea of false positives and the successes I've read were found by people who were already experts. I can 100% see a public bug bounty program being inundated with garbage even if there are diamonds in the rough.

Is this a troll comment? I don't see where the author used AI to generate the code and if you don't see the point of experimenting with technology, you're on the wrong website.

That's p-values for you.

In the US at least, even if you don't find prison that bad, the charge itself can ruin your life. Having a felony extremely limits your prospects.

Too late for me. I was on Spotify since 2013 and switched to Qobuz due to AI, bad recs, and dislike for the company. Qobuz puts much more effort into manual curation so I still find awesome weird music and have encountered 0 AI. Mainly due to not relying on recommendation algos anymore. I'm sure there is still AI in there. Only issue I've encountered is an annoying playback bug when switching from wifi to data.

You would also have a whole team of consultants, advisors, lawyers, and VP+ people specializing in each area telling you what the problems and possibilities are if you actually had that job. They're not operating in a vaccuum.

Of course they would. A criminal is just a person. And with such an extraordinary percentage of the US population in prison, you can expect the full spectrum of ability, intelligence, passion, compassion, and everything else. Our prison system is an extreme tragedy that most people are numb to because it's been that way forever.

If all the AI stories on this site were replaced with amazing stuff like this, the world would be a better place.
