Is it not? You can talk to it in plain English and it can do things for you and respond back in a synthesized voice. I was reading an old Asimov short story about a guy who comes across a lost robot and has to trick it into staying put, and

So many people have spent a lot of energy dehumanizing others on the basis of their “contribution to society”. Ideas like, if you aren’t employed, you shouldn’t have access to healthcare, etc. I can only hope that AI can force people to ret

Agreed, TFA is lamenting the loss of a golden age that never existed. I was there. IE6-only plain JS was replaced by buggy jQuery which was replaced by unmaintainable Angular SPAs which was replaced by monstrous React codebases.

AI makes the good students better and the bad students worse.

An interesting question because photos are mostly machine-generated to begin with. The photographer just hits a button.

Agreed. Like you, I went from hand-written cgi-bin html to jquery to angular v1 to React. I will willingly reach for React as a tool - it does what I want to do.

TFA makes it clear that this is a very different phenomenon than golf ball dimples, and even goes as far as to say they are opposing.

You make it sound as if Codex is for people who know what they want and Claude Code is for people who don’t know what they’re doing.

This is not true because many older AI disciplines were not machine learning. A lot of work was put into tree search, logic programming, etc that we don’t count as ML. Older NLP work had little or no machine learning either.

That’s wild. Are you at a university that bans using the OpenAI APIs directly?

The OpenAI non-profit is now one of the biggest non-profits in dollar-denominated assets. If the goal was to make the non-profit really big and well-funded then that seems on track. But not clear to me what it would do to advance its missio

Come on, you can’t say you can’t be bothered to read the document and also double down on your interpretation of it in the same breath.

Yeah, the move to take in only white refugees from SA was a clear message to their voter base that it’s about race. They could have chosen not to do that and have some plausible deniability, but they wanted to make that point very publicly.

Sure, it’s temporary. But what if you’ve been working in the US for a while, like your job, and want to go permanent? Does it make sense to have to give up your job, move back home where there may not be a US consulate, and then apply from

I suggest your LLM radar is a bit out of tune.

It doesn’t matter how good the harness is if the model does a bad job of planning and continuing from long context. A good harness cannot overcome a weak model.

Isn’t the implication there that Uber works because the drivers shoulder more costs and make less money, but Waymo won’t work because they have to shoulder all the costs?

Charming praise for Anthropic’s low rate limits. It’s a selling point over codex I hadn’t thought of.

It’s a false equivalence to say that intellectual property is property. Taking your car deprives you of your car. Taking your idea lets civilization advance.

A lot of the space outside of the convex hull is just untried things. You can brute-force trying random things and checking the result and eventually learn something new. With a better heuristic, you can make better guesses and learn new th

I’m very confused as to what you are asking here. Do you think OpenAI does not serve ChatGPT to EU users already under EU law?

Yeah, I think we can all agree that personal computers were a mistake.

Seems rather wasteful for tourists to buy a can of bear spray, carry it around for a week, then throw it away. But sad that coming up with some kind of system to hand it off to the next tourist is hard? Otherwise everyone would use the rent

with Anthropic you’re giving money to Elon Musk. Seems like a pick-your-billionaire world we’re in now

I think this is a thing, maybe need to upgrade your codex cli.

Can’t you just turn off training on your data in the settings?

So nothing like real-world coding, where you’d be able to run and test the script before submitting?

o1 is several generations old and was released in 2024. Is this some quite old research that took a long time to get published?

I’m a little confused as to the setup. It was asking each model to one-shot a script and then the scripts faced off? Were the models given a computer environment? Or a test server to iterate against?
