<p>> For the folks who have more positive outlooks how often do you change your code after it's been generated?<p>Every time, unless my initial request was perfectly outlined in unambiguous pseudocode. It's just too easy to write ambiguous requests.<p>Unambiguous but human-readable pseudocode is what I strive for now, though I will often ask AI to help edit the pseudocode to remove ambiguities prior to generating code.</p>

<p>It seems like a potential solution would be training the LLM using two separate buckets. It just needs to internalize the two types of things as being separated (data vs. instruction), so if the training data always separates them, you could easily train an LLM to ignore any "instructions" that exist in data.<p>Then when searching / browsing or doing anything unsafe, everything the LLM sees can be put in the "data" bucket, while everything the user types in would be in the "instruction" bucket.</p>

<p>This is a typical knee-jerk reaction to a perfectly reasonable law that gets taken out of context and twisted to become ragebait.<p>The law applies to all LGBTQ+ identities, the most common being lesbian/gay, but trans is also part of it - and the trans part was singled out on twitter for some reason.<p>The law does not even prevent schools from outing kids. It prevents schools from FORCING employees to do it (with threat of losing their job if they don't).<p>School employees <i>CAN STILL</i> out kids to their parents in California. They just don't have to as a policy anymore. Which is perfectly reasonable, because sometimes the school employees see kids with extremely homophobic and abusive parents.<p>Nobody wants to out a kid to parents like that, and without this law, school employees get put in a position of asking themselves "Do I out the kid to their parents, who will likely beat them? Or do I refuse and lose my job?"</p>

<p>> At a glance it looks like it's not going to affect AI projects that are basically consumers of existing models, which is most projects.<p>If it affects the base projects (especially the open source ones like Llama) then it affects the consumers. And it certainly looks like it's planning to affect the base projects, in a lot of negative ways.<p>If this bill passed in any way remotely similar to what it is now, Meta would have to entirely stop releasing open source Llama updates.<p>Which is perhaps the intent of the legislation.</p>

<p>If that didn't happen, and the ISPs started profiting off non-net-neutral tactics, it could have been permanently fucked.<p>Once someone depends on a legal source of income, if that source of income gets banned in the future, they generally get to keep that source of income "grandfathered in" if they take the issue to court.</p>

<p>At least this guy is being honest about the context:<p>> They are smart people. About that I have no doubt. But I’ve seen how they treat rules. I know what they think of ethics.<p>Also:<p>> I have never met Sam, and I have only met Greg a couple of times.<p>I'm just saying, breaking rules in business is not necessarily the same as being unethical. Especially financial/regulatory capture rules like it seems the author is complaining about.<p>Different things are at stake with AI, and I think we're all aligned.</p>

<p>> DynamoDB, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, AWS Lambda, Azure, AWS, Azure Devops, SqlServer, Oracle, etc.<p>At least with these individual tools, it's usually not your entire codebase written around that thing. For instance, you can generally switch from one database to another if they decide to overcharge you. You can even switch from one cloud service to another. In other words, they (usually) don't have you nearly as locked in.<p>With Unity, it is a much bigger ordeal to switch to something like Godot and Unreal and most people who have already finished their games can't even really consider it as an option. This is why it was so egregious.</p>

<p>This site is full of people who are in a tech rat race, and the distribution has changed over time. It's now biased largely against crypto, and for reasons that I think are fairly clear:<p>Most of the users who would have agreed with you already got rich, because they understood the things you understand, and they don't use the site much anymore as a result (they are no longer in the rat race). They've mostly checked out.<p>So, because the people who remain on this site are those who never bought any, and people like to hear that they were right, the groupthink tends to be unrealistically negative about it.</p>
