The only way to make check whether a LLM output is true is to do the work (to have it dkne by a real person).

For tasks that are trivial to verify, it's ok: a code compiler will run the code written by a LLM. Or: ask a LLM to help you during the examples mapping phase of BDD, and you'll quickly be able to tell what's good and what isn't.

But for the following tasks, there is a risk: - ask a LLM to make a summary of an email your didn't read. You can't trust the result. - you're a car mechanic. You dump your thoughts to a voice recorder, and use AI to turn it into a textual structured report. You'd better tripple check the output! - you're a medical doctor, attempting to do the same trick: you'd have to be extra careful with the result!

And don't count on software testing to make AI tool robust: LLM are non deterministic.


Ah, perfect! Thanks


"Microsoft Bing Copilot has falsely described a German journalist as a child molester, an escapee from a psychiatric institution, and a fraudster who preys on widows.

Martin Bernklau, who has served for years as a court reporter [...] asked Microsoft Bing Copilot about himself. He found that Microsoft's AI chatbot had blamed him for crimes he had covered."


That's exactly the kind of resource I was looking for, to help friends (and myself!) with the basics of using a computer for programming.


I agree!

That's why I set up my own thing. I don't care about analytics at all, so I just wrote a simple build system doto generate some very basic HTML redirects.

It isn't perfect but it's very cheap to run!

And if you use Netlify, you can just create a _redirects file like this:

  / https://example.com
  /cv https://example.net/cv.pdf
  /git https://github.com/octocat
Works good for me on ale.sh so far!


That was unclear for me too, so I opened an issue (the very first of the project, yay!). The instructions have been updated, they might be a bit clearer now: direct contributions to the code are welcome.


That's an interesting and depressing story. Do you have some sources about them hiring models? They are not obvious to find on the Internet


John Casablancas, the father of Stroke's lead singer, owned Elite Model Management, one of the world's largest models agencies, if not the largest at the time. Rumors among the knowledgeable fans is that Julian used to ring up to his father agency to send "fans" at their initial shows. [1]

This without doubt influenced the decisions of venue owners to book them. Even if they were in on the ruse, who can afford to reject the well known "multiplier effect" 20-30 models would have for your venue?

Tinder started the same way


I stumbled upon this piece and found out some nasty stuff about the Brave web browser.


This piece puts into words the way I manage personal projects!


I think the website could use an "about" section, with some examples. At first glance I thought it was an alternative to wetransfer, but it isn't!
