This is a pretty moronic take. You only have to understand the first thing about physics (e.g., a 14-year-old's understanding) to know that a dragless airplane is impossible. If you are suggesting there is some new…
> I wouldn't be surprised if there are now more chess books now than there ever have been Well yeah... how would there be fewer?? But the point itself is silly. Few people are putting effort into Maths for the fun of it…
There’s always been a distinction between published work and unpublished. If my friend showed me some unpublished work (Say 90% of the hardest work toward a significant proof) if I then go finish the remaining 10% and…
If these accusation are true It’s more like you spend 4 years developing a product you’re passionate about. This product will gain you the respect of all your colleagues and either earn you money directly or lead to…
I think we can follow the incentives. We know…
Even in code, in person and online I’m seeing some reversal. It’s here to stay I’m sure but I also think “no one will ever hand write code again” is a narrative that is getting pushback.
Yes.. taste
A paper can’t reproduce its self. And he didn’t formulate the test with a 5 minute bound he just predicted that by the year 2000 that within 5 minutes an average interrogator would have a sub 70% chance of guessing…
Low n, time bound, not reproduced. And look at their example conversations… And people forget that sometimes humans message twice. An LLM can only respond. So it immediately fails here in a true Turing test. (You could…
This is always the most silly argument. The original test was ambiguous but for sure the human was trying to prove themselves human. So the first thing they’d do is tell me LLMs exist and the other thing is an LLM.…
It hasn’t been passed and no one cares about it because it’s basically an end goal. No lab can hit it so they can’t juice the crazy Turing benchmark 3000 for marketing. If someone sat me down today with an LLM and a…
I like Musk companies more than most here it seems, I think he’s a net positive to the world. But (admittedly sans hard evidence) he absolutely gives me the vibe he’d train on my source code without my permission. I…
I was using tabnine in 2020, I used copilot autocomplete + ChatGPT, then Claude Code. All this to say, I willingly adopted each wave. Having said that, for all our startups “interesting” code I use no AI, not even tab…
Yes the whole field could more or less be described as combining images taken from different positions :)
But why can’t this exist on a smartphone? A huge existing install base and, in an iPhone at least, compute capability that will surely far exceed anything that OpenAI can produce.
To be fair “we will compensate you if you do X” sounds a lot like a contract so you’d probably be just fine in court. (Though likely wise to avoid the chance of a legal headache)

Being willing to sell isn’t the only test, otherwise domain squatting would be very difficult. You can generally accept these offers without much risk if done via a lawyer (I’m sure a lawyer isn’t strictly necessary but…
The concern is if you own a domain that you don’t own the trademark for. Twitter owned both the domain and all trademarks so it’s a non issue. Basically in fairly limited circumstances you can have your domain taken off…
I don’t think he would. The Turing Test as originally formulated is a bit ambiguous but by most non-incentivised interpretations LLMs do not pass it. In the original test the evaluator knew one was a machine and one a…
What is anticompetitive about it? The comment above is literally claiming they’ve been outcompeted.
Also a completely meaningless statement. Essentially “You didn’t need to file because your lawsuit is wrong” er… yea of course you’d say that or there wouldn’t need to be a lawsuit.
What’s naive about it? Maybe a bunch of people are finding great new software only possible because of LLMs. Good for them. I’m simply stating I haven’t. (I note in your comment you don’t mention one piece of end user…
Yeah I can see this as being an area that will benefit from LLMs. Though, taking it one further, we don’t yet have evidence (so far as I know) that this actually produces more secure software. It’s not that I’m an LLM…
The test is simple: have we seen great new products or improvements in the products we use over the past 12,24,36 months? The only great new product I’ve used is my LLM of choice, and those labs seem to be hiring more…
