I've seen this movie before, back then it was Bing and Kevin Roose and spoilers the movie ends with the AI trying to get you to leave your wife for it.
MS blamed Roose's long four hour chat (added turn limits as a result) and his probing existential questions. You're recreating the same conditions

I appreciate you updating this. I've used your chart in presentations as a way to help people understand the pace of advancement and cost. So many ppl tried gpt-4 years ago, thought neat it can write an email, and never gave LLMs a second thought beyond thinking everything since has been hype.

For sure! it does remind me of training, you start out with a blob that just yells and sleeps. A few months in she smiles at you, an emergent property! More training more compute eventually she turns into a "human". So now I have something that seems human, but has some serious alignment problems

It's funny I have an almost 2yo and have thought about this. Pre training recognizing faces, learning to eat, walk, some words, basic understanding of being a human. As she gets to the toddler years I find we've transitioned to post training, teaching specific behaviors with human reinforcement

The only time I ever feel threatened walking in my neighborhood is when I see the local wild turkeys. I will cross the street, or better yet change route to avoid them. I've seen them attack cars. Seen them fight each other on roofs. Seen them gang up on a dog. Geese have nothing on wild turkeys.

The ego needs protection at all costs, so people remain purposely ignorant of AI or concoct "tests" to prove that actually I'm very special.
But you are not your job or your skills or whatever. You are more than that. It's ok that the computer can be better than you, and it is in certain areas.

More than anything what I'm finding is people have their identities so tied to their profession and skills, that it so offends them to their core that a computer could do what they do. If computer do the thing, that means your not special anymore, and that is too painful to contemplate.

Not to be a jerk, but I feel like screaming every time someone posts "I am a skeptical of AI, decided to try it, and here's how I completely misused it and/or misunderstood what happened, so guess that proves AI is dumb!" Y'all know John Henry dies at the end of that story right?

My man it timed out/broke, it'll never take more than maybe an hour tops. Just refresh and try again. That question isn't even challenging, any ai tool, deep research or not, is going to get that right. If the AI agent can find the answer on Wikipedia then it's not a good challenge.

Was "well-built" actually a hint you intended?

On the other hand, reduces sychopathy and the model reinforcing bad ideas the user came up with (You're absolutely right!). Feels impossible to find the right balance esp since "objective truth" is often rare, but I'd personally rather an AI err on the side of being skeptical of the user.

Lexis is just another wrapper that the big labs are going to put out of business. And individual law firms are going to just build better wrapper type tools that aren't the one size fits all product that Lexis offers.

As an aside, I'm amazed the Lexis CEO was talking about gtp-4o's knowledge cutoff and suggesting that "consumer AI" basis legal answers on "news articles". I've personally seen both Claude and especially GPT-5-Pro do extraordinary research with primary sources, including obscure regs and local rules

If I'm running a law firm, do I pay Lexis for access to its data and writing tools that use Claude Opus 3 (wtf?)? Or do I turn to the nerdy attorneys who have specific domain expertise in my firm's practice and have them use an AI coding CLI to build the same tool customized for our firm's practice?

Case law, statutes, secondary sources, and the headnotes/Sheppardizing stuff. But primarily sources are public records and it's increasingly easy to compile that data yourself and with AI you don't necessarily need an army of experts to create headnotes and all that. So is there a real moat?

Great episode and the ethical implications of whether AI should be allowed to make frivolous arguments is not something I've thought about before but it's fascinating.
As a lawyer and someone doing some AI stuff, I'm amazed that Lexis has basically become a ChatGPT wrapper. Their moat is data..

JVL made the same point"It’s the easiest layup in the history of politics. Trump’s transformation of the People’s House into a presidential palace is undemocratic. Presidents are not kings. Erasing this monstrosity is fundamental statement about the right-ordering of our project in self-government."

Why blame the click bait headline when you can just blame readers for not clicking on the click bait and thoroughly reading the article so that they can then understand that it was click bait all along! Don't demand accurate headlines, demand more people waste time sorting through click bait!

I think he's probably a groyper, but that photo isn't proof. He's doing a slav squat, which is itself a meme. The pepe image is pepe doing a slav squat. If he wanted to reference pepe specifically, he could have painted himself green (it's a Halloween costume after all). Anyway, not conclusive.

...support for Israel, etc. It just seems a lot more plausible that someone on the conspiratorial right would want to attack Kirk than someone on the left. But pure speculation on my part, obviously, and I could be totally wrong.

So for a lefty, Kirk just seems like a random target. And maybe it was, maybe just a convenient soft target. But for the someone on the right, in the conspiracy world, there's a lot more motivation to see Kirk as a target. There's the grouper stuff, also Kirk taking the Epstein hoax line...

I'll speculate. To a regular lefty Kirk is just one in a parade of white nationalists with a mic. If your following the right more closely, he's less dangerous than a Fuentes or a Jones. If you want to attack someone with power, there's plenty of people with actual influence on policy.

I listen to enough Alex Jones (via Knowledge Fight podcast) to know that if shooter is maga, then that means it's a false flag. Leftist feds would have drugged him up and mind controlled him to do the shooting. Calls for civil war either way.

Cowards are afraid of being sued by the regime. Trump doesn't need to pass laws banning media when they willingly become state media on their own out of fear of losing money by standing for principle. State media via preemptive surrender.

Just a reminder, this is the Secretary of Defense. Can you imagine any other SoD saying this kind of shit? There would be outrage and hearings and calls for impeachment.
