10xDev··on Autoresearch: Agents researching on single-GPU nanochat training automatically
AI currently lacks agency but if it can achieve greater goal setting and agency I can't see why self-improvement could not be achieved.

I think the most disappointing thing will be that even we do achieve ASI, everything will carry on as business as usual for a while before it starts making an economic impact because of how resistant to change we have made society.

10xDev··on Autoresearch: Agents researching on single-GPU nanochat training automatically
Prompt engineering is already dying. AI has become great at inferring what you mean even without being incredibly explicit and creates its own detailed plan to follow. Harnesses will also be developed by AI.
10xDev··on Tech employment now significantly worse than the 2008 or 2020 recessions
Something needs to be done about these bots, it is getting eerie. Yesterday a bot created an account named 100xLLM the moment I responded to it to respond back with.
10xDev··on Pentagon formally labels Anthropic supply-chain risk
It is duplicating...

@dang something needs to be done about this.

Edit: it even created an account based on my username. wtf...

10xDev··on Pentagon formally labels Anthropic supply-chain risk
You made a fresh account to say this or is this ironically a clawdbot
10xDev··on Claude is a space to think
"please do all the work to argue my position so I don't have to".
10xDev··on Young adults report lower life satisfaction in Sweden
Ironically you are probably doing the thing you are accusing of young people doing which is taking a tiny sample size of a privileged group and assuming that's the norm.
10xDev··on Young adults report lower life satisfaction in Sweden
> In Sweden and other parts of the Western world, for example, recent findings point to a widening intergenerational gap where older adults report increasing well being while younger individuals experience notable declines

So it is just a case of older people pulling the ladder up behind themselves.

This is obviously diversion but anyway: Bunch of "American and European" "patriots" that he retweets 24/7 turned out to be people from Iran, Pakistan, India and Russia. These accounts generate likes by default by accounts with "wife of vet" in bio and generic old_blonde_women.jpeg aka bots.

10xDev··on Advancing AI Benchmarking with Game Arena
The program doesn't need to be a solver. It can be anything that helps it.

It doesn't even need to be one tool but a series of tools.

10xDev··on Advancing AI Benchmarking with Game Arena
A good proxy is knowing which tools to use to solve the problem. Not how to try and emulate how a human would play chess. That is pointless...
10xDev··on Advancing AI Benchmarking with Game Arena
I'm not going to respond to everything but the key to my comment was "This applies to other domains as well." But people are limiting their imagination to the chess engine example given for chess. The tool or program (or even other neural networks that are available) can be literally anything for any task... Use your imagination.

Maybe we should just get rid of tedious benchmarks like chess altogether at this point that is leading people to think of how to limit AI as a way of keeping it a relevant benchmark rather than expanding on what is already there.

10xDev··on Advancing AI Benchmarking with Game Arena
It is a program. I need it to get task X done and I don't care how, whether it is strictly through CoT or with tools. There is no such thing as cheating in real work and no reason to handicap it. Just test the limits of what it can do with whatever means possible.

Trying to solve everything with CoT alone without utilising tools seems futile.

10xDev··on Advancing AI Benchmarking with Game Arena
Funny, you used probably the most useless form of benchmarking used on people as an example of measuring "competency" in the real world.
10xDev··on Advancing AI Benchmarking with Game Arena
If AI can program, why does it matter if it can play Chess using CoT when it can program a Chess Engine instead? This applies to other domains as well.
10xDev··on Videogame stocks slide after Google's Project Genie AI model release
You can't be serious, do investors have smooth brain? GTAVI is about to be released (will probably break all kinds of records) and they think Project Genie a prototype of an experimental idea has any impact on the games industry?
10xDev··on Driverless taxis set to launch in UK as soon as September
First own the minds, then own the roads. Let Google decide for you your commute and price.
10xDev··on WorldChaosMap: A live map of global instability
vibe coded and junk.
10xDev··on ICE using Palantir tool that feeds on Medicaid data
I mean, I don't like CCP tech or public executions of disarmed citizens but saying only 5% is a bit nuts.
10xDev··on Meta's legal team abandoned its ethical duties
"Freedom" with a million asterisks.
10xDev··on Meta's legal team abandoned its ethical duties
>facebook only hires smart people

So it is true, they really do only hire insufferable pricks.

10xDev··on Meta's legal team abandoned its ethical duties
Your country can have that. I want my country to have a functional society. I think I know who will win.
10xDev··on Nvidia Stock Crash Prediction
I mean common sense reasoning tells me that if OpenAI has decided to turn into an ad business, the actual return expected from investing into compute isn't going to be nearly as great as advertised.
10xDev··on US believes its power matters more than international law, UN chief
Always has. The US serves Israel first, big tech companies second.

The Democrats could have won if they didn't support Israel unconditionally. Unfortunately when you claim to support human rights but also support what happens in the middle east it creates cognitive dissonance among the population.

Many American pro-Israeli's are more concerned about Iran at the moment than any of the ICE/Greenland news.

10xDev··on Our approach to advertising
It is over.

Edit: they made sure to use the word "trust" 5 times because nothing is more trustworthy than someone telling you how trustworthy they are.

10xDev··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
I don't view this as socialising. It is mostly a battle of narratives.
10xDev··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
LLMs are always going to output the median answer you would find on the web. That's why they are almost always mediocre in their response.
10xDev··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
This feels like a sus promotion but that aside, when I went on it, it seemed like a bunch of dudes using it as some sort of grindr.
10xDev··on The Palantir app helping ICE raids in Minneapolis
PLTR stock peaked at $200 last year and has been going back up so far this year. People are investing in CCP style tech and don't care.
