Yep. Every time you get more intelligence, that buys you more autonomy, more reliability, more task complexity. Tasks done with less mistakes, less handholding, less interventions. This is what the "good enough" people fail to gra

What "evidence"? Because we keep running out of benchmarks to distinguish frontier model performance. If capabilities are "leveling off", we're not seeing it yet.

The user input can control the demon most of the way, most of the time! We don't know how to obtain full, absolute, guaranteed control over a demon while still having a useful demon. Might be impossible. Forbidden knowledge be like tha

Accountability is worthless, and always was. AIs just show it plain for everyone to see.

What's available in the agentic harness is: shell toolcall. That's just about every agentic harness, by the way. Good luck have fun. We have never solved "how do we restrict a user in a way that doesn't stop the user fro

A lot of people somehow seem to think that the user prompt is the be-all and end-all of AI behavior. Prompts aren't code. They are instructions. Orders given to an eager and somewhat demented demon. The prompt can easily "wash out

And tokens can be metered reliably. Unlike something like "task completion".

Reasoning is the first solution to that. Reason, write, reason, rewrite. Backtracking without backtracking.

A self-driving car is an "AI robotics" platform. Both self-driving car and general purpose AI robots are emerging technologies right now. My bet is that eventually, the HW will converge accordingly.

REing Meta's custom AI HW to get it running with something would be one hell of a project, and one hell of a flex. It would rely on them being nice enough to leave at least some binaries on the thing though. Because I'm not sure h

It really doesn't say much. Tesla had more detailed talks on their HW and AI stack. This reads like a glorified marketing blurb.

If that teenager had net worth in billions, and a lot of ongoing corporate dealings with HuggingFace? Yeah no.

The point was never "justice" - it was always "punish OpenAI because I don't like OpenAI". With HuggingFace just being the newest excuse for why exactly OpenAI should be punished. I don't even like OpenAI, but

As a rule: all high quality text is useful. There's no "2022 split", and the "untouched by machines" bit came from the marketing blurb of a company offering book scanning services - not the AI labs themselves. At th

LLMs are trained on vast bodies of human-curated text that was made by humans or for humans - often both. Then they're tuned further on human feedback. And then they're pointed at tasks humans find to be useful, evaluated by how g

Some labs made bacteria-free mice for research purposes. They're viable. So "not be able to live" is a stretch. Human body does use some bacteria in the guts, but a lot of those very same bacteria would absolutely try to eat

Best practice is to include at least some humans in it!

Imagine instructing a fentanyl addict not to consume any fentanyl. That's how system prompts work sometimes. Something somewhere in the training pipe has perturbed the LLM in a way that makes it say "honestly" all the time. I

"A living creature" is a low fucking bar. Bacteria are living creatures. And your body is wired to exterminate them so that they don't eat it alive from the inside. Because the moment those defenses falter, they will do exact

No, the nervous system is one of those things that don't fully dissolve. Partial info retention is perfectly consistent with partial connectome retention.

I don't think it works that way for AI. Comms networks are extensive physical infrastructure that, by definition, has to cover ground. AIs cover the ground by riding the existing comms lines. In telecomms, the late mover has the advant

Let's be honest, the real 1999 design would have been a custom binary format that happens to use the endian of the system it was developed on, and leaks bits and pieces of unflushed memory buffers whenever it writes to disk.

Do you think that you can continuously train LLMs for more and more complex and more and more agentic tasks without them becoming "more than a tool"?

Not really. Before RISC-V, the low end was held firmly by 8051, and at the high end, it was a fight between Xtensa, ARC, M0, and "others", be that custom ISAs or something like legally distinct MIPS. Now, both ends have RISC-V see

What I find interesting is that RP2350 is designed as "one or the other", no way to use ARM and RISC-V concurrently, and has fuses that can kill ARM M33 cores outright. Makes me wonder if an "ARM cores fused off, RISC-V only,
