<p>LLMs for recipes are good if you just want to make <i>a</i> thing, not necessarily the best version of that thing.  It's nice being able to ask questions about certain steps as well, or ingredient substitutions if needed.  It'll make a nice, average, recipe (unless I suppose you prompt for something).  That's perfectly fine for most cooking, and often what you want when you're making a dish for the first time.</p>

<p>Alright, so we make this AI system that's way smarter than any human, and it can even make itself more intelligent over time.<p>Tell me- why would it kills us all?  Certainly I can see an AI going "You know what?  _insertGroup_ is a net negative for humanity and should be eliminated.  Launching nukes now/creating specific virus/whatever."<p>But all of humanity?  When it's supposedly more intelligent than us?  Even if it has robots to keep the internet/electricity going I would think it would realize that it's going to get bored really quickly, not to mention we would effectively be its parents.<p>As far as other dangers, like it letting a rogue actor create some sort of supervirus, grey goo, or other superweapon: if it's intelligent enough to do that it'll probably be intelligent enough to quickly stop it.<p>Don't get me wrong; there's a risk.  50% though?  Doubtful.</p>

<p>It's literally generalized intelligence.  Yeah, I had a shitty chessboard back in the 90's that was specifically programmed to play chess.  That same board couldn't tell me the best medication to use to treat a certain condition or how best to modify a model in Blender.</p>

<p>The fact that they can play chess at all despite having no specific training for it blows my mind, and the fact it doesn’t do the same for many others shows just how far they’ve come and how fast.</p>

<p>I just saw a Twitter thread of someone calling out realtors with absolutely egregious editing examples. Think pools and landscaping being added to backyards, a background being changed to a mountainous region, and furniture being “staged” in an attic space that definitely couldn’t fit that furniture.<p>A realtor in the comments said they legally need to also post the same images but unedited, but I’m sure when you’re doing this the first 50 are the edited ones and the last 50 are the unedited. How many people make it to the unedited?</p>

<p>I don't know why people seem to think the US has "no societal safety nets."<p>We have medicaid, unemployment benefits, how expensive our housing is completely depends on location just like other places (rural-ish areas are probably cheaper than almost all of Europe), etc.</p>

<p>The vast majority of the homeless you see on the streets in the US are there no because of money trouble, but because of mental health or drug issues (or both).<p>People with money issues can almost always lean on friends or family.  It’s the people that no longer have any friends or family willing to put up with them that end up on the streets.</p>

<p>I think the reason why it shouldn't be claimed as a moral good is pretty obvious - authors deserve to get paid for their work.  I certainly can't claim I stand on a bedrock of morality as I've used it from time to time, but even though I don't have the money that a lot of HN commenters do I make sure to not use it for small-time authors.  Even really successful authors I'll only use it about 50% of the time.<p>If you want information to be free?  Great.  But most of those authors wouldn't be putting the work in to making that information/literature in the first place if they know they aren't going to get paid.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but if I’m giving someone who is - at best - an acquaintance of mine $50 a month out of the goodness of my heart and then one day decide to stop, that’s not a broken promise. If that acquaintance got angry at me about stopping I’d get pretty upset back.<p>I really don’t understand what link you think there is between USAID spending being cut and inflation. Gas prices are obviously Iran. Everything else started years ago.</p>

<p>For those that have never looked it up, the median RN salary in the US is about $100k a year. Germany and the UK are more like $60k.<p>It’s funny, because it’s a career that feels both overpaid and underpaid to me. I went to a college where almost half of the students were going for nursing - and you certainly don’t need to be especially intelligent.<p>At least to an outsider, some nursing fields seem damned easy. The nurse that sees me before my GP?  Pretty easy job.<p>Other specialties? Like the nurses that needed to clean up my wife after she massively bled during/after a c-section and they had to give her medications that also caused all sorts of other fluids to intermingle with the blood?  Or the nurses that had to stand there for 10 minutes squeezing our infant daughter’s heel in the NICU to try to get enough blood out while she screamed as hard as a little baby can?<p>$100k doesn’t seem like enough. Odd occupation. For $60k I’d rather work at Costco, that’s for certain.</p>

<p>Sure, but shouldn’t the programs to run the LLMs go “the user has this much vram and the model is this size, so I’ll start with sensible defaults based on that”?<p>You could override, obviously.</p>

<p>There are plenty of places without zoning issues that have that same housing problems.<p>More people. Same amount of land, and features people want to live by - cities (which in the past often meant rivers but always meant jobs)/in my area, lakes.  It’s really that simple. Everything else is missing for forest for the trees.</p>
