Engineering/Adoptive: Adds eval tests to flag hallucinations

Oh look another one who secretly solved hallucinations.

Kind of a nitpick but there has never been anything other than AI for automated transcription, OCR and speech recognition have been fundamental use cases for neural networks, and dev-kits to deaf kids is honestly kind of an honest mistake well within the known limitations of that technology.

LLM based audio transcription however does get goofy because apparently when it mishears stuff it might compound the error by, you guessed it, making more shit up: Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said

Could be this will be mostly a vehicle for them marketing their AI writing coach.

Maybe wapo is an AI startup now.

Sounds like they should nationalize OpenAI.

Midnight Pals is pretty great.

What does solving the data problem supposed to look like exactly? A somewhat higher score in their already incredibly suspect benchmarks?

The data part of the whole hyperscaling thing seems predicated on the belief that the map will magically become the territory if only you map hard enough.

In an completely unprecedented turn of events, the word prediction machine has a hard time predicting numbers.

I wonder how the inevitable presidential pardon will be handled if it comes before the movie is completed.

The rest of OpenAI probably far more than Altman, given they at one point tried to oust him to bring in a more dyed in the wool rat ideologue while bemoaning how all interactions with him were lacking in candor.

This term is so meaningless you could call A* an “AI algorithm” at this fucking point

We did at one point I think, or at least the computer-learnin' school I went to back in the day thought that graph search algorithms should be part of that curriculum.

The guy goes by the handle RatOrthodox, calls rationalism his religion in the replies, seems kind of a cult-brained ideologue anyway based on his other tattoos, and went out of his way to make boinking aella into a public achievement/trophy thing.

This is just from the OP, I bet I could find any number of additional absolutely ridiculous things about him if I bothered with his twitter feed (edit: someone else did). Basically he seems like sneer incarnate, and if rationalists ever stormed the capitol building I bet he'd be the one with the face paint and the horned fur hat giving interviews.

Virtue signaling is not really interchangeable with attention whoring, it's when you specifically (and usually clumsily) want people to notice that you are part of an ingroup, and in this case the ingroup definitely isn't just people who like amateur tattooing and horny post on main.

Maybe I should explicitly note that unless this turns out to be another aella publicity stunt she does seem pretty incidental to the whole thing and her only fault appears to be being attractive this type of weirdo in the first place, which I'm not blaming her for.

Personally I like sex work and amateur tattooing better when they aren't part of some convoluted attempt at rationalist virtue signalling on social media. Honestly it's kind of weird that you landed on disapproval of promiscuity as the reason anyone here would find the happy couple sneerable.

Not strictly related to the OP but fuck kink-washing sfba rationalism, at the very least the attempted normalization of non-con sex play in a subculture as inundated with cult dynamics as them should be fair game.
