I think you’re conflating the direction of definition with the direction of evaluation. Compare the similarity of: AI(n) = improve(AI(n-1)) With: Fib(n) = Fib(n-1) + Fib(n-2) The latter is a classic example of…
“Recursive” is a reasonable term because the generation N AIs will train the Generation N+1 AIs. The term “iterative” doesn’t reflect this nuance as well IMO.
The risks of open models are real. However, I’d feel better about ceding control of AI to the government if they didn’t seem so intent on building an apparatus for surveillance/control. Your “furry fanfic” is a somewhat…
Neuromancer came out in 1984, over 40 years ago, so that covers the broad concept. Or Neo in The Matrix: “Programs hacking programs… why?” For non-fiction you could look at Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence: Paths,…
I was under the impression that Go also uses Elo, then I did a bit of cursory research and discovers that it varies. Two major federations are American Go Association (AGA) and European Go Federation (EGF). EGF uses an…
It was a joke referencing the typo in the message they responded to.
I was housemates with a couple with a kid. The kid learned Scratch first, and made some surprisingly sophisticated apps in that semester (or two). By now he’s moved on to textual languages (not yet old enough for a…
I don't know about the article about Apple News scams, but how is an article about Waymo publishing a model for self driving cars not about AI?
It's not plagarism, Ciechanowski didn't invent this presentation form. His presentations are examples of "active essays", a term coined by Alan Kay no later than 2006. (I don't know whether Alan invented the concept…
Your tone implies that the same people who freak out about reasonable gov intervention, are also (hypocritically) okay with the shenanigans being discussed. Who are these straw men you refer to?
You could be more charitable. They did say “or” which you omitted in your quote, and also “who knows”. There are possibilities too. In my view, the primary contribution of that comment was to clarify the time frame.
I have to assume that was sarcasm.
So highlight both then.
It would still be the best model per dollar if the score was 2% lower instead of 0.1% lower. Would it be ok to still give it the highlight color then? How big of a lie is too big? Especially when no lie needed to be…
I like how they highlighted Opus 5 as the best for “Agentic Coding” even though the number is slightly lower than Fable. Close enough for marketing, I guess!
Equating an open weight model to a closed source binary is ludicrous. An open weight model can be fine tuned, for example. How easy is it to modify a closed source binary for your purposes?
They avoid the full basilisk treatment.
Since we’re hair splitting: that’s not what bike shedding means. :-D
“Striped office floors. Flickering lights. Walls covered in repetitive geometric patterns.” Not sentences. AI slop.
Inference providers, sure, but wouldn't we expect customers to win also?
Benn Jordan, you mean. Good video.
> ML researcher or engineer The charitable reading is that they meant “ML researcher or ML engineer” with the latter meaning, I guess, an engineer who works on developing LLMs not just using them.
I don’t think society is a monolith. Many of those who support your proverbial alimony are also against CEOs acting with impunity.
It's becoming a reliable heuristic that when somebody says "... got it", they probably didn't get it.
“Put it there in the back with the others”, lol.
