No at least we know why they spent all that money on "safety research".

I blame it on the art world being full of pseudo-intellectual little shits, so of course they get off on the Marxian esthetic of throwing around signalling phrases like "late capitalism". They live and die by pretense, there just

There is actually a way to get really amazing sample efficiency out of a learning setup, and that's engineering in a load of appropriate inductive biases, which personally I am convinced evolution has done for us. Explains a big chunk

Thoughtful comment, and I'd like to add another angle: However meaningful it is to say the community is divided, I also think that individuals are "divided" on the question as well. I can speak from myself as an example (alth

Good news! On the current trajectory, I am very hopeful nonlinear RNNs could make a comeback. Which would incidentally help to ease the memory pressure for inference tasks.

Didn't have one. I was convinced I would experience this since I was a teenager. Blame science fiction if you will.

You're right to be sceptical. I have trained reasonably good SLMs for the TinyStories dataset on my 4060Ti (16GB) with no problems. You'll only encounter problems if you want to try if your ideas scale up to models any bigger than

That's a valid concern, given the paper makes clear that the effect over the polite/impolite scale seems to be model dependent (it finds the reverse correlation of earlier studies on even older models).

What problem would that be that has not already been addressed further up the chain? And it is an ad hominem - it's nothing more than an allegation impugning the character of libertarians in order to dismiss their arguments. The alle

I prefer to judge such advice by the available facts, not by hearsay about the moral character of the advisor - especially not hearsay spread by his enemies. Your ad hominem has no bearing on the argument. So, how is trusting politicians an

Buying out maybe, but that only exacerbates the problem for the company in the long run. Regulatory capture is what actually works , but not within the libertarian framework, because regulation again is not a market mechanism, but governme

That's infuriating to me, and I wasn't even the victim! I'm so lucky such a thing never happened to me. The closest thing was a math teacher in middle school asking me about a problem solution of mine in a test, that he had m

The corporation (that runs internally as a planned economy) will get more and more inefficient the larger it gets, because that is what planning an economy does. Which in turn means it will loose market share and be forced to lean up until

Personally, I'm not bothered very much by LLM confabulation, as long as it's the result of missing context. In most practical tasks, we either give context to the model, or tell it to find it itself using the internet. What I am

Wouldn't the higher density of liquid water be an advantage?

Well, the famous Turing test was evidently insufficient. All that happened is that the test is dead and nobody ever mentions it anymore. I'm not sure that any other test would fare any better once solved.

Still, attributing that progress to "years of research at Google" alone is simplifying the facts to the point of being just plain wrong. That kind of research was always very much in the open and cooperative, with deep levels of s

Also nobody in his right mind uses lookup tables where the table value is actually the float approximation of the true f(x) - you choose the support values to minimize an error (e.g. mse) of a dense sampling of your interpolated value over

I'm sure you could even let every voter verify that their vote has been registered correctly. Edit: But as a comment somewhere else in the tree noted ,,And if it could tell you that then a third party could force you to reveal that you

I was wondering a while ago what the outcome would have been if the order was reversed. Harold Godwinson might have fought off William of Normandy, but then be too exhausted to stop Harald Hardrada, all with just a few weeks of difference i

I'm on board with that framing of the process, and I see how my original formulation was too rough. I was reacting to "We're moving to a world where the mechanical part of grinding the code is not worth much". I have the

Might be a big company thing then, but I'm not wholly convinced. There's a big gap between designing the outline of a big system and coding instructions that can be followed without having to make your own decisions. The questio

Huh, that explains a lot about the F500, and their buzzword slogans like "culture of excellence". LLM code is still mostly absurdly bad, unless you tell it in painstaking detail what to do and what to avoid, and never ask it to do

Yes, it could go either way of course. Still, just for reference, here's the paper I remembered: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.15857
