getting on with, surely

would you expect that statistics would back you up on this? that people with graduate degrees are more likely to say, die in an accident?

you think engineers are responsible? why?

> People don't realize there's an aspect to creativity that dwells within the human brain and the morass of personal visceral human experience that can't be reconstructed

Your point here seems to be based more on faith than anything concrete. It is a sibling with the idea humans have "immortal souls" and the like - something we would like to be true more than anything that actually is.

This being said, I do think AI systems are very bad at creativity. But I don't think that it's impossible that they could be, nor do I have any idea why, specifically, they are bad at creativity. At this point in interpretability research, anyone telling you they do know is lying.

something selling a lot doesn't mean it's good. Is McDonald's good food? by some metrics of course it is. But if someone says McDonald's makes bad food, I know what they mean

> Imagine picking up a new product that will take you weeks of practice to use at basic level

This does not work on developers. Their empathy fails them here - because they absolutely would try a new product that takes weeks of practise. They like (or at least tolerate) learning complex+cool new things, thats why they are developers...

that sounds good for literally everyone that isn't an anthropic/openai shareholder

we have it in our enterprise. The admins have to individually approve new model releases. Ours don't enable astra :(

yeah. Even though high got the leg correct, the pedal the rear leg is on is in front , giving the impression it's somehow reaching under the chain and frame with it's leg. Not great

you just know they considered "novel" and "epic" internally and decided against both for being too normal

I can't say that I do. Covered eyes or pitch black room, I don't see anything like "static", either stationary or moving.

iirc you can still turn the compaction limit up in codex, though they don't make it easy. It costs way more when you use "large context" though, more than the ~256k that codex allows by default. You can also use the large context via the api directly

oh god, yeah. Thats difficult to look at

ham radio is the coolest technology in the world but sadly mostly allows you to talk to old people who have the same attitude as stack overflow mods - "you're doing it wrong"

The key question is of course what happens when this happens all at once, to the whole economy. One company suffering from financialisation or enshittification means customers just go elsewhere. A whole economy doing it all at once results in major loss of trust, normalisation and legitimisation of scams, and collapse of empires.

this is incredible tbh. Surprisingly performant for what it is, and looks nice despite its choice.

The LLM isms are as ever bizzare, a classic case of explaining what doesnt need to be explained, and not explaining what needs to be explained.

"the weapons test is fictional, nothing is harmed" as I see an ascii spaceship blow up saturn.

constant reminders that the spaceship im watching travel across the observable galaxy in seconds is made up. Like yeah, obviously...

> makes me wonder if the whole field has just gotten dumber in the 21st century

it's the finance system. It's affecting everything. We are building not to make money from clients but to please investors, who don't know anything about anything beyond a report every quarter and some random public comments you've never heard of that the press office made. So much money is controlled by stupid algorithms doing stuff like ctrl-f'ing the company quaterly report for mentions of "AI" or "agentic" (not a literal example, irl its thousands of random equally stupid metrics divorced from reality) that its distorting the market

Companies activities all revolving around getting a piece of the investment avalanche, so "we can replace employees" works both for the llm companies and for the companies whose workers are being replaced. Either way, its assumed this makes them more profitable. It probably will, at least in the short term.

And as we all know, there genuinely is a lot of waste and momentum in large companies, so you can cut half your employees, claim you're replacing them with ai, and actually replace them with nothing, and you'll still shuffle onwards for years or more, anything actually important people will keep doing, and the other stuff people will slowly stop. But this is trading off difficult to measure things like tech debt, security, compliance and brand strength that are slowly eroded for short term metrics, which is always a losing game in the long run.

Anyone sensible already knew that the core platform team was all that was needed to maintain the core platform, and the other teams were there for various other reasons, some of which were sensible and some of which were not. The key in business is presumably to identify which is which, but anyone claiming that process is easy or even possible without making costly mistakes is foolish

i'm sure jensen huang will be fine. He has one or two other accomplishments to his name

remember to test against benchmarks. I would love to hear about your progress.

Reckon you could give us some idea of the other side? What are the alternative explanations proposed? The passage here (albeit translated) seems pretty unequivocal.

It also doesn't seem that unlikely. I know a fair few adults who mutter to themselves under their breath while reading, never having managed to kick the habit of reading aloud.

about 3 years ago I randomly stayed in an airbnb in an apartment block in lisbon that had one ! Theyre still around in old buildings, it felt very sketchy but I got used to it after the first couple times

there are higher levels of writing than "grammatically correct"...

we don't dismiss claims of poorly written code with "but it compiles!"

same. we played 5-6 times I think in uni, but the peak for sure was a marathon two day session with six players. We had cocktail parties with a side table with meals + drinks for the diplomacy phases. Legendary memory, though I also remember every time thinking "that was incredible but I am NEVER playing this again" each time afterwards before going back for more a few months later.

I've long dreamed of a reprise if I ever get the space and friends again, perhaps with dressing up fancy and/or a really nice champagne for that real diplomacy feel

absolutely not ! it's not an "ohhh ill get 100x more coding done" it's definitely a preference/work style thing. I find it's hard to get in "the flow" when managing multiple agents, and if I just do one at a time with today's frontier models, I find myself waiting 10 minutes twiddling my thumbs while they do something all the time. Then needing to catch myself and turn back over to it when its done, all these micro switches between tasks is really difficult for me. If I had an instant agent I probably would be somewhat faster, but not zomg1000xunicornrockstar nonsense. I would be way happier though

> Nobody needs to code at 600 words per second.

I do. I used to use haiku for the speed. Now its just as slow as the rest. Speed is my #1 ranking of how good a model is

is this a comparatively huge or a comparatively tiny amount, when taken with the money made from these activities? does it escalate if no improvements are made?

I ask because I dont know. The devil is in the details with this stuff

this. My not-at-all technical partner often comments to me that whatever youtuber is reading from an ai script and just turns off whatever we're watching. I assume similar happens in other areas.

For her its rarely the specific tells ("not-x-but-y" etc) but rather its bad metaphors and analogies that get her.

for what its worth, I was amazed when I moved from the UK to denmark that young people smoked in denmark. For me it was a thing for old people, mostly due to the price I suspect. It just wasn't cool - although vaping has changed both of these since I left, by my understanding

according to their annoucement for sol-6 and luna-6, they have also tried to improve responses, and the release post has examples of old and new language on the same task to illustrate this

surprising it took until xhigh before it did the legs properly - all the ones before that have both legs on the near side of the bike.
