why would the terminal not say "completed in 30 minutes" even if it's only really 5 minutes of real work and 25 minutes of thumbs twiddling? If your agentic-harness provider is in bed or just the same as your LLM provider, that is the rational `best` case scenario/timeline. for them.

Well, be careful what you wish for. At least I was able to stop reading that thing pretty quickly: it's not unreadable, it's untrustable! ...and yes, adding non-LLMish malapropisms has become my Captcha...

You're a fast reader :-D

No quantum bullshittery in there I promise.

Equating "classical" with "deterministic" is however pushing it a bit too far, when no one and nothing can ever do even a very small fraction of said determination...

May I suggest the excellent & recent book: "The brain. In theory" by Romain Brette?

This is going to elevate your thinking on this no end, if you're interested.

Wow you just got us a complete nostalgia moment to the good old times when the computer who always beats us at chess became `not artificial intelligence`...

The school wasn't Grok, as I understand it it was bad data in Maven.

Can you be more precise maybe?

Can you qualify the benevolence maybe as a factor of the distance to Beijing?

The thing is... although the writing is unmistakably full of LLMisms, I can't fault the `author` for having produced a slop readme. The content earns its keep, it only grates because of the robotic personality. We need another word than "slop" for this.

"blland", "llame",... ?

That "loosely" hides a bit of a tragedy on the Studio Ghibli adaptation: instead of accepting the transcendent Hayao Miyazaki work that she and we all deserved, she refused what she misunderstood would be a Disney-like cartoon...

And instead of this, much later, the not-at-all ready son, Goro Miyazaki, had a go without having done the massive thought-work that you can for example glimpse Hayao doing on the emotional arc of Ponyo

So does your interpretation then also mean that a planned deprecation of Search has started, with well-timed reliability deprecations, so that users are deliberately being taught to rely only on AI summaries?

Or they know it's a race to the bottom where as long as every brand's doing it, consumers have no choice...

Ok. As you write AGI is == 100, can you clue us in as to what general intelligence is?

This gives me sickening vibes of the "War is a racket" take.

Both side's agreeing to enable each other's massacre of their own country's downtrodden young masses, while all sorts of profiteering going on at the back no doubt.

classic generalization: no one I know blames all Germans, but they do blame specific banks and even individuals who profiteered and allowed the conditions for the crash to develop

Yes the Germans were wrong. Artificially low interest rates were won with the switch to the Euro, and German and French banks were the lazy careless agents, not the Greek Hotels chain or Italian restaurant taking on the cheap money under the false assumption pushed by same banks that the 2000's would be an era of ever growing prosperity and European integration.

Which regulators though? There is no AI regulator that I know of, and I'm not sure they should be one. Exaggerated marketing blurb is pretty legal, right?

Doing his job as a CEO he's making noises, desperately trying to move the overton window now that enough concerned citizens have been made aware of how much malfeasance his product enables, and how little safety it brings. I think at this point a few more inane statements from the guy are to be expected, desperately trying to shift the hate onto his well-protected person and away from his fragile electronic boxes & the malware they run.

Considering the current gerrymandering, all sorts of regulatory capture, and a two-party system that's captured most voter's sense of identity and packaged it for abuse... I think this discussion is extremely theoretical.

...and if a theory is not falsifiable, then it's not wrong, right? Did I miss something in there?

it's a bug: the wipe should only apply to a see secure enclave, and the phone should restart `normally`

oh you looked up 2126 on the Google did you? can you explain this verification process a bit more maybe? is it based on world3? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World3

can you show us the world model that predicts this outcome? which variables does it take into account?

so nice to read an information-dense somewhat stream-of-thought properly long human written post!

because "less" can be so much faster?

mmh, i think it's "not uphill" (means downhill) "no headwind" (...)

Advice that works: - Watch the Robert Sapolsky human behavior lectures.

- Learn about basic neuropsychology, to at least have a working understand of the triad Default-Mode-Network, Salience-Network, Executive-Network.

- Watch your ambient CO2, also at night.

- Sleep so that you always wake up with no alarm.

The readme is so thick with breathless LLMisms that it makes one wonder what is the point. That's a bit sad because the book's website and blog appear interesting, the author can write. Still: shall I spend 10 bucks by buying and reading the book, or by consuming tokens on LLMs that read it?

I strongly suspect that, like the Southampton Six, what we're looking at here is a faster unmasking of underlying neurodevelopmental issues, and not causation.

really!? nobody paid me anything for my comments on HN.
