Something I've been thinking about for years, and fully expected to see earlier. Even though reasoning with LLMs is still largely broken, the "flag logical fallacies and cognitive biases" task feels like something…
Sure, it's typical Wolfram, inviting the typical criticism. If you can understand what he's talking about at all then you won't be very convinced it's new. If you can't understand what he's talking about, then you also…
I suppose evangelism still has some value if you have a big enough platform. There's always frog-boiled obliviousness to deal with or the next gen coming up and trying to figure out which problems are real and which are…
This reminds me of how you can create fair coins from biased ones and vice versa. You toss your coin repeatedly, and then get the singular "result" in some way by encoding/decoding the sequence. Different sequences…

Looking at LLMs as a less-than-completely-reliable compiler is a good idea, but it's misleading to think of them as natural-language-to-implementation compiler because they are actually an anything-to-anything compiler.…
Since it's an old debate that a lot of smart people spent a lot of time thinking about, the best short / simple answer you'll see for it is "you might want to read some more about it". A few keywords here are qualia,…
The intro is really good and stands alone. I'd point any outsider to this as a decent description of hacking, programming, software engineering, prototyping in general.
This is going to happen and is real stuff we could be working towards with the tools that we already have. No need for AGI vaporware, no waiting around for the perfect agentic playground. Not even necessarily a big…

Signup doesn't actually work for this thing, just an error that shows a Justin Bieber quote.
