<p>Of course there are different levels of violence. One person inciting hate online is different to bombing a country back to the stone age, but they are both violent. No a traffic offense shouldn't get you assaulted.<p>But big ceo or president shouldn't necessarily be surprised about consequences to say it bluntly, and to tie it back to our original point, its funny its such an issue now to dang and others here.<p>Its like suddenly an issue when that violence is directed at someone who does have a lot of power rather than the other way around.<p>I feel you could argue denying health claims is violent, its intending to cause harm - there is a choice there.</p>

<p>It's kinda wild - It's now only publicly objectionable when its against an extremely privileged and powerful person??<p>Oh no !! /s<p>Meanwhile that same person implicitly condones violence - for example getting in bed with the US gov.<p>They don't need defending on HN.</p>

<p>Consider some more examples: trump or that other conservative figure getting shot. Or the ceo of the health company getting shot.<p>Both of those people condone(d), support, amplify and drive horrific violence.<p>A common liberal reaction to those incidents - "oh no violence isn't okay!!" - well where were you for all the other horrific things they did and said? Yes in some ideal world there perhaps wouldn't be violence - but I can understand people feeling like they had it coming. It's the boy who cried wolf. It's the bully getting their comeuppance. It can be hard to feel bad.<p>Sama also talks about wanting ai to be the future, its pushed everywhere and the feeling is its going to take peoples jobs and disrupt everything. But there's no discussion about how we are going to look after everyone in that future. Current capitalistic (american) society doesn't seem built for that ... that lack of care already exists for a lot of people too who are homeless, poor etc.<p>Being upset about samas front gate getting firebombed while they probably also had plenty of security .. well idk.</p>

<p>Well I'm not saying they don't get moderated eventually .. but the thread in reference<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47659135">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47659135</a><p>There was horrific racism on display right here. Perhaps it just seems part of the background noise to you .. but at the time, some of those posts felt just as bad as calls to violence or worse.<p>But to compose something more substantial .. its probably all to much to neatly tie up in a single reply to a thread.</p>

<p>Not sure what world you have lived in for the past at least 10 years...<p>HN (and ycombinator) has implicitly enabled, dogwhistled, or pretended to ignore all sorts of hateful and violent rhetoric. Sometimes it hides behind a veneer of "curious conversation" but other times its disgustingly blatant - last article I saw about sama was filled with horrific racism.<p>I come here because there are sometimes good posts, but this stuff has been here the entire time. Now its your guy getting the hate you are acting like its the worst thing in the world?<p>Frankly people calling out a post from a billionaire is a good thing. You would have to be terminally detached from reality to not see how all these festering issues - wealth inequality, injustice, cost of living, future employment etc etc - are starting to come to a head which would cause people to feel something - frustrated, angry, wrathful.</p>

<p>So if we pretend a list is a function from an index to an entry for the moment 
```
Enum.take(list , 2) 
```
Is more like 
```
Enum.take(list, [1,2])
```
So if you apply that to a list of length 1 or zero, you just get either list[1], or []<p>The difference is that Enum is maybe a total function - the domain of the function is always well defined,  while Map take is trying to be dressed up as a total function but its really something thats only partial.<p>So the type system needs a way to describe a map that has "at least these keys" a bit like the enum case. So that requires some polymorphism.</p>

<p>But thats the point, an llm is a vastly different object to a calculator. Its a new type of tool for better or worse based on probabilities, distributions.<p>If you can internalise that fact and look at it like having a probable answer rather than an exact answer it makes sense.<p>Calculators cant have a stab at writing an entire c compiler. A lot of people cant either or takes a lot of iteration anyway, no one one shotted complicated code before llms either.<p>I feel discussion shouldnt be about how they work as the fundamental objection, rather the costs and impacts they have.</p>
