Mythos was clear it was one agent per chunk. But this positive confirming results do not actually disprove anytime with Mythos, because it is only one side of the discriminator challenge - you got positives, but we do not know your false p

This is quite misleading. If you isolate the positive cases and then ask a tool to label them and it labels them all positive, doesn't prove anything. This is a one-sided test and it is really easy to write a tool that passes it -- ju

I don't get the point of banning specific pornography niches/fetishes that are otherwise legal. Are there not much more objectionable fetishes than this one?

Yeah, this Ghost Murmur thing doesn't seem to hold water. But I figured I'd post it anyways, maybe someone know more than me about this field. Also, I agreed that there was a failed raid, I tried to post on it yesterday but got n

I 100% agree that learning is missing. We make up for it in SKILLS.md and README.md files and RAGs of various types. And we train the LLMs to deal with these structures. I've seen a lot of reasoning in the latest models while engagin

I would accuse you of nitpicking. My experience is that LLMs are generally as smart as the average human +90% of the time. A lack of perfect to me doesn't mean it isn't AGI.

AGI doesn't mean perfect. It means human like and the latest models are pretty human like in terms of their fallibility and capabilities.

If you showed someone what our computers can do with the latest LLMs now to someone 5 years ago they would probably say it sure looks a lot like AGI. We have to keep defining AGI upwards or nitpick it to show that we haven't achieved i

I think this is fundamentally misdiagnosing why Macs haven’t dominated. It is actually not about the monitor support but about: - government and corporate bulk contracts ?and this is usually a result of software only working on Windows.) -
