No. This is just the start. It's going to get way worse before it gets better.
Hey dude, I don't get the sense you're being malicious, but you might want to consider the following... I'm a Home Assistant user because I don't like my devices reaching out to random cloud services more than they need…
Proactive public sentiment management to lessen the chance of reactive policies. In Canada, it's currently vogue to hate on all things American. (I'm saying this as a Canadian resident)
Nope. This is exactly the same way they fucked up when they had the model quality lead with Gemini 2.5 pro. They made using it so hard/unclear that myself and every other dev I knew gave up. It's clear that they still…
This was my conclusion when I saw the feature for the first time. One of the open problems at the frontier, as we climb the levels of abstraction towards longer task horizons, is "what's the next step that makes the…
Similarly, when talking about "human intelligence", I sometimes find it useful to use "bunch of atoms bouncing around".
It's tragic to see, and they already made this very same mistake with Gemini 2.5. They made their model so hard for people to drop into workflows, that people just... didn't. Lack of adoption caused them to lose out on…
On the off chance there are Google execs going through this thread: Google, if you've actually managed to catch up again, please don't fuck this up (again). You made Gemini 2.5 Pro so difficult to use that myself and…
"lighter" is the revolutionary bit. A huge impediment to VR uptake is having to go through the process of strapping a brick to one's face. This isn't quite the "just putting on a pair of glasses" experience, but it's…
I frequently have speculative conversations about what (good-leaning) post-AGI societies might look like. When asked about how one might attain social mobility in such a society, where the intrinsic value of our…
The arms race is an intrinsic game theoretical property of a multi-adversarial-actor scenario involving exponential growth of a universally potent technology. It's almost certainly winner-take-all, on a global scale,…
This is not an impulse reaction, as I've thought deeply about this for many years, and I'm quite resolute in holding the following view: Quibbling over the academic nature/definition of "true intelligence" is a…
Look up "mechanistic interpretability" in the context of LLMs. The next token prediction machinery is just a foundation for a higher order learned structure that appears to encode specific concepts, regardless of input…
In areas of applicability where GenAI to now considered to be good/great, the pattern I've observed is a frighteningly rapid progression from "abjectly terrible", to "middling and mostly more trouble than it's worth"…
The conclusion of this blog post is a bit hysterical. The intent of this steg is excruciatingly clear (identifying usage by Chinese firms that may be conducting model distillation). It's unclear on how this "punishes…
And even if that's true (and it frequently is!), detractors usually miss the underlying and immense impact of "sleeping dad capability" equivalent artificial systems. Horizontally scaling "sleeping dads" takes decades,…
> Not "hidden", but probably more like "no one bothered to look". Well yeah. There weren't enough "someones" available to look. There are a finite number of qualified individuals with time available to look for bugs in…
It's doom and gloom because the underlying game theory forces all state actors into an unbound and irresponsible arms race, consequences be damned. AI development game theory is extremely similar to the game theory…
Unfun thought experiment: In an AGI scenario, what lever of power do the UBI recipients have to force what you've described? Historically, humanity's biological monopoly on the fundamental resource of "general…
I used to think that "AI operating in meatspace" was going to remain a tough problem for a long time, but seeing the dramatic developments in robotics over the last 2 years, it's pretty clear that's not going to be the…
Do you genuinely believe that this is a binary decision, or is this just anti-euthanasia rhetoric disguised as concern trolling? Offering humane end-of-life options to people suffering today does not prohibit ongoing…
I am entirely convinced that absent LEO comsat constellations, people who espouse this sentiment would likely be whining about "useless astronomy taking money away from helping poor people". If you genuinely care about…
Trains don't have guaranteed personal space, nor do they proceed from one's origin directly to their destination. You might not value that, but lots of other people do.
Sorry, that's goalpost moving. Just reminding you of your earlier claim: > AI is not good enough yet for anything requiring deep reasoning, mission-critical work... Is driving a mission-critical function? Due to its…
