Just here to note that @dgerard had a clippy pfp before it was cool

A very big problem with this study is that participants that don't delegate are not asked to do anything regarding cheating, while the ones that do are presented with various choices that influence them. "choosing a setting on a dial that ranged from ‘maximize accuracy’ to ‘maximize profit’". In this way, it doesn't "control" for anything.

One of the authors is from the Center for Adaptive Rationality, obviously making a reference to the lesswrong CFAR.

I know I'm commenting on an old post but i just saw an AI modified version of this image. Didn't even realize at first, but text was cut off, punctuation was bad and the biggest tell was the slot machine picture. Why would someone do that?

For the record, if you see participants in the thread (and the author of the post) tagged just pretend it isn't there. Mastodon models its notification feature after email To: and Cc:

I remember being disappointed how much latency there was when streaming with ffmpeg to my phone with some codecs. This sounds great!

Computers use both big endian and little endian and it doesn't seem to matter much. Yet humans should switch their entire number system?

E: this guy can't grasp the concept that left-to-right is arbitrary, which is really ironic given his point. Ok so in arabic it's exactly how this guy wants it, except no, the universally correct reading direction is left-to-right and arabic does it backwards just to be quirky🙄, and humans, just like programs, flip a bit to read it left-to-right, where it's the opposite of how you should be reading it! of course.

It's hard to come up with analogies for AI because it's so goddamn stupid. It's like if asbestos was flammable.

I don't know static site generators, but I took a look at your site and the text doesn't render! The font file appears to not be good. Also sorry for having to move to another software.

rsyslog goes "AI first", for what reason? no one knows.

Opening ipython greeted me with this: "Tip: IPython 9.0+ has hooks to integrate AI/LLM completions."

I wish open source projects would stop doing this.
