azinman2··on LeCun has "zero concerns" about AI wiping out humanity, recent "rogue" incidents
I can’t do that, and I think I’m a very capable HI. Is that really the bar?

You’re missing the entire new world of personal context retrieval.

Nearly everything is improved and the new Siri is great.

What makes you call it crapware? The new spotlight search (from Siri) is amazing and super convenient.

I’ve changed my mind on this and think we’re already at AGI, in a jagged way. Remember we used to talk about narrow AI, which was the chess systems that beat expert humans but could do nothing else. Now models can do a wide range of tasks in very useful ways. That’s the general in AGI.

Now it seems like this ill-defined term has various other meanings attached that are separate milestones:

1. Continuous learning 2. Human-like reasoning 3. Ability to adapt to new situations and modalities 4. Being smarter than the most smart humans

And probably many more.

It’d be nice if we could get some general consensus on terminology if we’re going to debate what has or could come.

They were at the frontier because they invented many of the techniques. Google already had the internet’s data well beforehand. Anthropic and OpenAI are still at the frontier today, independent of legislation.
azinman2··on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)
Well we do know the results. They’ve been at the frontier constantly, including developing the entire field and set of capabilities. In the beginning every OpenAI paper was basically a landmark.

Except it quickly becomes close to cable when you start adding all the streaming services up.
azinman2··on Iranian banks' SSL certificates are being revoked due to OFAC sanctions
That’s fair as a very troubling threat. So far it hasn’t materialized. Seems to be the boy who cried wolf.

How could you possibly label the Iranian war so far a genocide?
azinman2··on New $100K H-1B Visa Fee Pushes Tech Jobs Offshore
Its goal to protect the American citizen is fulfilled by economic security. If you let your industries leave, you have done a disservice to your citizens. That’s how trump got elected in the first place, and ironically it’ll only get worse because it’s the wrong solution.
azinman2··on New $100k H-1B visa fee pushes tech jobs offshore
Are there not 10x the need of software engineers compared to other engineers, particularly in the US?

Except that’s clearly not the case here.
azinman2··on Apple's Siri AI Can Be Swapped Out for Claude, ChatGPT, Code Shows
Photo indexing is already local. What specifically are you looking for?
azinman2··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Because this was a mystery. The other replies seem to be missing that point. It’s similar to the issue that mathematicians are having in their field right now.
azinman2··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Let’s say it gets to the point that we reach superintelligence. All previous puzzles can be solved. But should they? Once you solve them, it’s done. What’s left? And where’s the fun and humanity?

The Olympics exist because we want to see human skill, even though jet planes exist.

azinman2··on Rivian's gambit for full autonomy
I really like the way they look. Taste is subjective and. It absolute. Some people even like the cybertruck.

What about OpenAI’s breach of huggingface?

What makes it sound fake?
azinman2··on GPT-6 Astra on OpenRouter
I’m confused. I thought it was being only rolled out to select partners for now?
azinman2··on IBM Bob
Is it that diff from code as a service? It’s human intent transcribed into something useful.

So good
azinman2··on Top Pentagon Official Contracted Personal Lawyer to Handle Minerals Deal
And doing so risks societal fractions against the idea of lawfare. It’s a lose lose situation.

They don’t release all the code.
azinman2··on Playa Phone
That's a terrible use of burning man and against the ethos of it. It makes me sad to know that even worked.
azinman2··on Did Meta's Big Settlement Actually Help It?
That’s a bit like blaming parents for their kids smoking cigarettes. Meta intentionally ignored warnings that bad things were happening as a result of its products, and doubled down on the addictive design.
