I read more about the incident, and was offering up way too much opinion not grounded in 'fact' (barring philosphical evidence). It's a complex topic for sure. I stand by my opinions about frontier work, pushing thr…
Without knowing the objectives of the test/experiment: we don't know which guardrails make sense, so it's not possible to know which guard rails should have been used. We do know we rely on some companies to push the…
No, we put sensible guardrails in place based on our ability to predict future events. We also calculate risk. On the frontier, it's not as easy. Pushing the edge comes with risk. The known guardrails were in place and…
Thanks, I didn't know that. And it reinforces the discussion. Electricity 'knows' the path is least of resistance because it actually took all paths. There is just a vast majority of it that flows down a path of least…
The frontier LLM model makers have to push the edge to make new discoveries. You don't know what guardrails are needed until it hits you in the face (reusing walking in the dark analogy). Think of all the policies…
Code is deterministic, AI isn't. You give it rules, words as suggestions. So if the guardrails suck, or they're left off for research purposes, bad things can happen. A solution solves a problem. Ethics, morals, are…
A platform: aka the foundation under the bank. The material cement that allows chips to exist above it. And the platform is made of time: ours.
You're touching on utility. We only ever bother learning something because it's interesting, or useful. Things get muddier when you consider economy. Businesses exist to make money, and money is time. AI is just another…
I had a huge post written up to address your points, but I have to get moving, my ass is literally falling asleep. It's easier just to say: It's all about time, my man. Nobody wants to waste it.
They say writing engages more of the brain and helps us to remember what's written more than if we just read it, or copy and paste. When you say it's easier to go manual, it seems you're talking about learning…
Are your silver platters producing something faster, better, or cheaper? Do your silver platters give you some competitive edge? If not, then is the ego problem yours, or your coworkers? Having said all that, I'm aware…

I'd say it's more about learning how to organize your work more efficiently. If you think about a product like marble: it's something that most be chiseled out of time. Some people can chisel better products: the AI is…
You can also understand the very simple basic essence of something, but get lost in the complexity when scaling up. Binary is very simple, but scaled up: look what we've created with software. When it comes to…
You just never know these days. It could be a smartphone keyboard issue. How much time should a person spend reviewing their comment before hitting reply? There is a bar of quality each of us expects everyone else to…
When is it appropriate to admit that you don't know? There's a famous Socrates quite about wisdom: I know that I know nothing.
ah man, my bad. 99% of the time I read the articles before I comment. The article literally made my point already. Sorry about that.
There is an ability to hold ideas in the mind simultaneously. Some can hold a great deal more than others. It can be exercised, but is definitely bound by genetics. If you want an example of someone at the near peak of…
There is always going to be a problem when we must judge value. You mention gains, short and long term. Knowing whether something is valuable, a gain, requires a judge. I the case of these tests: the judging is…
I like to think of it more as selective pressure, much the same way that nature selects the most fit for a given environment. If you're not fit, you fail to survive. In the case of agents/models and testing: they are…
Creativity also requires information. And Information is discovered. We can only generate random ideas from what we know. We can't imagine something we've never sensed, or know. You can't imagine a color you've never…
There is always some form of social loafing going on in any large group of people doing work. "The Ringelmann effect is the tendency for individual members of a group to become increasingly less productive as the size…
This is good stuff. At the end of the day, we all have finite time. How we choose to spend that time is a personal matter. Some say we're losing our humanity: that can be seen as good or bad, depending on whether or not…
You are right. I'm not saying I like the way things are trending. But I also think setting up our children means making sure they're prepared for the future. I don't think AI will ever replace the importance of…
