So much for the "Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity." I was naive to hope that now such laws would ever pass

Perhaps one of the pages gathering projects that need help will be inspiring for you, i.e.: https://up-for-grabs.net/#/filters?date=6months&labels=&tags... or https://www.codetriage.com/ ?

While really useful now, I'm afraid that in the long run it might accelerate the language atrophy that is already happening. I still remember that people used to enter full questions in Google and write SMS with capital letters, commas and periods.

It's not common to find just one, short post that completely changes my the worldview in a nin-trivial area. This is one of them. Thank you, that combination of mechanical interpretation + reminder that consciousness might be alien/animal but still count as consciousness was that one piece of puzzle that was missing for me. Obvious in hindsight but priceless nonetheless.

Besides being beginner friendly (forgiving mistakes), easy to learn and see the progress quickly (instant gratification, quick catch-up with friends who started earlier) the fact that it's not as physically exhausting as squash or tennis makes it attractive for many people.

"Stalin was AGI-level" perfectly catches the core of my concerns. Thanks!

It's good to have some kind of benchmark at least to structure the ongoing, fruitless discussion around "are we there already?".

However I must admit that including the last point that is partially hinting at the emotional or rather social intelligence surprised me. It makes this list go beyond usual understanding of AGI and moves it toward something like AGI-we-actually-want. But for that purpose this last point isn't ok narrow, too specific. And so is the whole list.

To be actually useful the AGI-we-actually-want benchmark should not only include positive indicators but also a list of unwanted behaviors to ensure this thing that used to be called alignment I guess.

Core function of HN Front page is based on "other people filtering stuff for others". Filtering out by any criteria (karma, account color, first letter of the nickname, whatever) doesn't automatically mean that someone is a jerk as you have stated in the comments nearby. It just means that someone is selecting the information to consume and does not harm anyone (perhaps besides the selective person who might miss interesting info due to selection).

>Building a market reserved for mediocre tech solutions sounds like the wrong way to make Europe more independent.

The traction which is proverbial "wind in the sails" for further development must come from somewhere. A new promotional channel might help with it.

Also I don't think it's any kind on nationalism. Just pragmatism for the very unstable times.

Just after the initial glimpse at the frontpage I really like the copy especially the realms names. Routenburg made me giggle. Good to see an interesting approach to learning in the times when we're at risk that no one might be willing to learn when they can just ask AI chatbot.

This absolutely fascinating and humbling read.

I hope someday soon computers will be fast enough to have such filter running as a Fallout New Vegas mod and it will finally look like it should :) https://imgur.com/a/XBVnKZa

What will be the next step? ignition? wipers? opening passenger doors? charging for functionality that several manufacturers offer for past several years sounds like desperation to get any revenue.

It's a surprising correlation. I'd expect that increasing popularity of such drug would lead to an increase in amount of sugar added because a) that would make them more "tasty" b) people would become more reckless aka "I can eat more because the pill will help me avoid weight gain". (edited for clarity)

That might be easier than training people to slow down and take caution when driving.

> when every path leads to something interesting, there's no "exploration"

While this sentence makes sense from current game design perspective, I have to say it strikes me as very unrealistic. Facing dead ends has always ruined the immersion for me.

A common mistake is to consider a tomato a vegetable, perhaps it might help.

> If we're lucky, LLMs force people to put more effort into assignments and grading and then that would help kids learn to learn as well.

I'm afraid it might be exactly opposite. Having all the knowledge at hand. all the time will lead to knowledge atrophy. Just like it already happens with ability to travel without navigation.

Untill the exhaust starts "Feeling leaky" I guess.

at first glance it looks very interesting. gonna download the demo now.

> text classification and data extraction with remarkable accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness.

Out of these characteristics I can observe only speed.

Or Pizza in notepad.

it's #1 so why try harder? ;)

it's really nice (both idea/purpose and execution). what would be really great is having direct URLs for each game so you can share and point your kid to specific puzzle.

Some people already do. They just hold the screen in their hand.

I think people in 2200 will be looking at us the same way we look at the 1940ies folk with their "doctors smoke Camels" ad. Mix of indulgence, contempt and commiseration.

Congratulations on your first article - it's a really good one. I found the jar filling method especially inspiring. Thanks a lot and good luck with the launch!

A handover happens not only when someone leaves the company but also when one moves internally. In that case the incentive to prepare the next person is definitely stronger.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Markdown for it's elegance, simplicity and independence. And observing fresh ideas for using it like Marp for example builds up the hope it will get more popular.

I can imagine that wide adoption of AVs could increase the speed limits (at least for them if not all vehicles). Also I believe that high saturation of AVs will finally shorten ETAs naturally as stable, predictable driving without cutting in, forcing others to stop suddenly etc. reduces traffic jams. (Can't find the study that opened my eyes on that right now).
