zeofig··on Vibe Code Warning – A personal casestudy
One of the reasons I try to avoid fast food and indeed everything.
zeofig··on A lifetime of social ties adds up to healthy aging
Is correlated with*
zeofig··on AGI is an engineering problem, not a model training problem
It's a training data problem, and the training data you want doesn't exist.
zeofig··on Electricity prices are climbing more than twice as fast as inflation
That would be cool if I could afford to own a house.
zeofig··on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
It was never independent from day zero, since it was always going to be sold to M$OFT or other.
zeofig··on AI is wrecking a fragile job market for college graduates
Yeah and then they can enjoy a future where the previous generation earned twice as much money which was itself worth twice as much. Have fun buying a house kids!
zeofig··on AI comes up with bizarre physics experiments, but they work
Absolutely agree.
zeofig··on Sam Altman Slams Meta’s AI Talent Poaching: 'Missionaries Will Beat Mercenaries'
That's rich. Almost as rich as Sam.
zeofig··on LLM's Illusion of Alignment
Maybe we just need to vibe harder?
zeofig··on The Gentle Singularity
A humorously underwhelming list.
zeofig··on I read all of Cloudflare's Claude-generated commits
Think about this for a second

E = MC^2 + AI

A new equation for physics?

The potential of AI is unlimited.

zeofig··on Stop Vibe Coding. Start Cyborg Coding
I'm gonna continue regular coding, hehe.
zeofig··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
Because if they sold it at cost, nobody would buy it.
zeofig··on Could GPT help with dating anxiety?
How about dating not being an app-fucked hellscape? That would help my dating anxiety.
zeofig··on 4chan Sharty Hack And Janitor Email Leak
I hope it comes back. Although I don't agree with a lot of what's on there, it's one of the only places you can find hot, fresh, (mostly) uncensored, and unalgorithmed content.
zeofig··on What can we take away from the ‘stochastic parrot’ saga?
I'm so glad We have all Decided this Together and we can now Enjoy the Koolaid
zeofig··on BreezeWiki makes wiki pages on Fandom readable
Fandom and Fextralife are a blight on gaming.
zeofig··on I put my heart and soul into this AI but nobody cares
but couldfix? noyoucouldntlol
zeofig··on AI Takeover Might Happen in 2 Years
I might win the lottery.
zeofig··on Younger cannabis users have reduced brain function, finds largest study yet
Glad someone said it. Unfortunately we are swimming against the tide...
zeofig··on Stargate Project: SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, MGX to build data centers
Agreed, but it seems we're gonna ride the AI hype all the way to the "top".
zeofig··on Generating an infinite world with the Wave Function Collapse algorithm
A Markov process is a random process where the new state only depends on the old state, not anything else. This can be stretched to include almost anything, since you can expand the definition of the state to record history or whatever you want, although you may make the process much more difficult to work with mathematically. In other words, the fact that something may be a Markov process is generally not interesting, because it is a very broad definition, and doesn't guarantee any interesting properties without further assumptions.

The wavefunction in QM doesn't evolve randomly, so I would say it is not technically a Markov process. On the other hand you can create a theory of observables derived from QM that is "random" (depending on your interpretation of quantum mechanics).

zeofig··on The consensus on Havana Syndrome is cracking
If by adversaries you mean "allies", then they're way ahead of you.
zeofig··on My Favorite Book on AI
>The author is the head of Microsoft AI. I'm disappointed but not surprised.
zeofig··on How AI is unlocking ancient texts
Build a strawman, knock him down, and plant the glorious flag of hyperbole on his strawwy corpse.
zeofig··on How AI is unlocking ancient texts
Why not just feed it random data? It's so smart that it will figure out which parts are random, so eventually you will generate some good data randomly, and it will feed on it, and become exponentially smarter exponentially fast.
zeofig··on Squirrels hunting and eating meat
I knew it.
zeofig··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB
Agi level my ass
zeofig··on Humans are unreliable models of mouse disease
Poor little bastards can't eat anything fun
zeofig··on Americans React to UnitedHealthcare CEO's Murder: 'My Empathy Is Out of Network'
Nobody's saying they should be killed. But I can't deny, at least to myself, what emotions might inadvertently well up within my soul (does Meta believe in souls?) if an unthinkable event like that you are hypothesising about were to happen. It's outside of my control.
