This. So much this. All the major "advances" have been effectively brute forced. Notice the term brute denoting a lack of intelligence.

I think you are majorly overstating OP that ai "didn't work". In fact I agree with the post on almost all aspects and I'd be the last to tell you ai doesn't work. It absolutely does but with a caveat... It's st

No they don't but psychics also don't have a verifiable feedback mechanism and unlimited retries. Give the psychic the ability to adjust answers based on tests and you'll have have a fair fight.

I wonder if carpenters, plumbers and electricians, etc have the same kind of love for their jobs in comparable ratios. I certainly don't ask when I hire one.

I fell into this career because I programmed as a kid, hacked on pre internet bboards, and understood how to drive a computer via the command line. I like solving the problems. GED, college dropout. I never planned on making this much money

Who are you to say they can? I would think the burden of proof is on you to promote an inanimate object to an emotional entity. Otherwise we are truly lost.

I didn't take it any particular way besides maybe a hint of informality. Regardless it definitely threw off my reading in an unpleasant way. Anecdata point for the poster maybe. I would read again.

Does practical improvement apply to only humans or intelligence in general?

Excellent article. I believe the majority of benchmark performance gains moving forward will come from this side of the stack enabling faster iteration/recursion.

I've come to the point where I've thrown up my hands and decided we live in a little snow globe. There's no such thing as pollution, were just mixing existing things together. Nothing new under the sun. Sure, that mix might n

That grind is emotional. And it's something AI will never have. The desire to solve a problem.

It's quite possible ants understand a geometry more advanced than our own.

I really like this take, and while I hate math I value it. Your position sounds extremely plausible and it fits with the pattern we see in the community here. Regardless if it's ai slop or not we still debate the value and attempt to

Yeah the pattern is "regular folks" enjoy reality tv too. Because they don't enjoy thinking. It's obviously trash but there's a market. I feel the same way about Apple. It's target market is uninformed users. N

This is great advice. I suck at writing, usually getting started is the hardest part. Appreciate the blazed trail.

I'll be the first to admit I burn too many tokens on the command line. Some form of LLM harness has been my new shell for the past 3+ years, they are much better at *sh then me, and I prefer not context switching from my terminal when
