I see it as more of a rationalization. When you already believe something, you look for intellectual reasons to justify that belief. Pascal's Wager feel like that to me. Its main power is hardening an existing belief…
Just don't look up any historical precedent.
I didn't save the original query so I asked again this morning and ended up getting the same response -- points for consistency, though it might have been more reassuring with the correct answer. I don't think my point…

I asked both gemini and chatgpt "do frontier models still have trouble counting letters?" and the first word of both responses was yes. The fact that no one is taking you up on that bet I don't find to be particularly…
My apologies, I got my info from an LLM. I guess they still have a ways to go in understanding current events.
Solving a bunch of math proofs is a far way from recursive self improvement. Don't worry, it's not like a tech tree in a video game where if you can prove a bunch of theorems then suddenly you unlock the next level of…
Don't frontier models still have trouble counting letters? Or am I out of date? Either way, it doesn't seem to be the same amazing rate of progress we're seeing in other areas. It's easy too look at a fire burning…
It's a good talk and worth watching. The title doesn't really reflect what the talk is about, which is more about how to not lose those things while using AI tools. The title could maybe even be described as a kind of…
Turns out there is an objective meaning to life, and it's trying to use AI to make money. Phew, I for one am glad to find that out finally. Think of all those poor people who didn't hold on to their brains, what sorry…
That feeling when you realize Idiocracy wasn't prophetic, it was optimistic. (Omg I'm even talking like one now.)
I think you're getting at the heart of the sentiment behind the original quote better than the blog post. The blog seems to be treating it as aspirational -- a goal. A puzzle to be understood and applied to make our…
For me learning on my own, it was even illustrative to not use a near plane and see how things behind the camera would still appear in front of it. A lot of 3D graphics can be derived pretty easily just from knowing a…
There's a reason puzzle solutions (like walkthroughs) are called spoilers. It's because they spoil the game.
Your point is correct, but let's not gloss over that most of those had 80% drawdowns or more. The nasdaq took 15 years to recover and it's only been 25 years total, meaning 60% of the time since then you'd have been…
I think the parent comment meant professional, high-level chess. The kind people get played to play, not just do for a hobby. That's absolutely on life support. I'm not sure what the equivalent would look like in the…
I haven't been keeping up with all the math proofs. Does anyone know if there have been any LLM proofs that are NOT counterexamples?
LLMs are broader than just coding. The article states this particular Zitron claim was wrong, even at the time, because you can put an LLM on a loop until it generates code that compiles. Mitigating hallucinations (in…
I'm not familiar with the culture, but that sounds reasonable. I'll quibble with the term rigor. I think the article contains the strictness that word implies, but not the thoroughness.
I don't really care what Zitron says or pay attention to him because it seems clear to me has some kind of agenda. But this article is not nearly as impartial as it claims to be. It interprets all Zitron's claims in a…
I have a whole theory on this I call design innovation through technical innovation. If you want to do something no one has done artistically, it helps if you're also doing something no one has done technically. And…
This is an okay introduction, but it shouldn't be considered prescriptive. As with most art forms, the very best and most interesting examples treat rules like these as starting points, not end points.
I really appreciate this comment, so I'll try to return the favor (in small part) by sharing one pretty special to me: WYCE, https://grcmc.org/wyce. Hope you enjoy.
That seems to indicate the market is more confident in walmart's earnings than nvidia's.
You could try a browser extension that just filters all terms like LLM, AI, agent, agentic and removes those posts. Or better yet, call back to a certain classic and replace those words with "butt" and keep them in.…
