Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Apparently, the American Physical Society is revising their AI policy to allow "broader applications" than the "light editing" they currently permit.

I currently have a review request sitting in my inbox from them. I'm thinking of using this as a reason to decline that request.
I would rather quit physics than accept the institutional endorsement of skill-destroying, environmentally disastrous fashtech.
looking very much forward to that crashing head first into arXiv threatening a ban if your chatbot fucks up in your name
I was pretty happy about seeing that news about arXiv! So much news has been various organizations giving into LLM usage like some kind of inevitability, so it was a nice change of pace.
It is this continuing slippage of standards that makes me appreciate a hard line against any and all genAI that place like awful.systems have. You concede one small usage and the boosters will keep pushing for more.
Yeah the first AI comes in all nice and friendly but if you dont toss them out before you know it you turn out to he an AI bar.
(Also noticed that a lot of 'I just want some nuanced talks' friendly looking ai bros are not friendly at all when they keep getting pushback).
But I listened and agreed that you had serious concerns about certain aspects of this technology. I even agreed when you talked about how frustrating it was that specifically other people wanted to do bad things. I listened as you asked whether I had any options to address those concerns! What more do you want from me before you agree to let me do and say whatever I want!
