You ignored my previous explanation.

AI is not limited to the rigid construction plan of an organism. A model also doesn't have to fit inside a small skull or be limited to the daily energy intake of a human.

Extrapolation of the extreme AI progress we have seen in the last few years.

If it can't yet, it will very soon. In less than five years probably.

I think you will change your mind when AI will become smarter than any human.

I would say, AI is probably the biggest thing to happen in tech, full stop. LLMs went from a toy to highly capable (along many dimensions) in just a few years. Which makes it very likely that in a few years more, we will be seeing crazy cap

It also makes it more likely that hobos and drug addicts don't soil and destroy the public bathrooms.

Xiaomi may manufacture their chips in Taiwan (by tsmc) but Xiaomi is still a Chinese hardware company, similar to how Apple or Qualcomm are US American hardware companies.

by cubefox 2mo ago
It's not reversing, it's continuing the trend of more and more manufacturing moving to Chinese companies. It already happened to TVs and it's currently happening with RAM.

You previously agreed with my account of Tao by saying "right".

by cubefox 2mo ago
The world's top mathematician agrees with me, rather than with you.

by cubefox 2mo ago
Even Tao says that proofs are worthless if humans don't understand them. If they had any independent utility, human understanding would not be necessary.

If he was, he wouldn't be doing useless pure math research. He is doing his hobby (pure math) while getting paid for it. That's not what helping humanity looks like. (Yes, pure math research is useless. Applied math is very useful

I guess then the likely outcome is that nobody will get any more prestige from presenting new proofs. The fall of the theorem economy, as David Bessis says: https://davidbessis.substack.com/p/the-fall-of-the-theorem-e..

GPT-5.6 Sol cheated so much on the METR benchmark that they couldn't assign an accurate time horizon.

> You generally can’t apply functions to dimensional units. Perhaps not in mathematics, but in programming that's clearly possible. I guess programming is more general than mathematics.

Yeah, "dimensionless" would mean they have equal dimension, which would mean they are comparable, which isn't necessarily the case. E.g. both radians and degrees are called "dimensionless". Edit: Apparently "sa

Reviews like this like to exaggerate certain things in order to get a punchy headline ("feels like the end of an era") and to create a matching narrative for the article. To keep readers engaged. Pretty typical for The Verge. But

Again, I think that's an extremely biased view that only someone who is very left-wing could accept. It would mean even left-wing people from a few decades ago, or countries like Japan or Switzerland, would count as "far right&quo

by cubefox 2mo ago
You count as "far-left" basically only communism, but as far-right parties that want to more strongly restrict third-world immigration than current center parties. Those are very one-sided standards. If you only classify communism

Well, right-wing people would say the far-left already has far more power in Europe than the far-right. For example, in tolerating the mass immigration from third-world countries with immigrants with far higher crime rate than the native po

It's more likely that you only perceive far-right threats but no far-left threats because you are yourself left-wing. Right-wing people would have the opposite impression.

For those Europeans believing in freedom of speech and in not selectively censoring one side of the political divide (you only seem to endorse censorship of the far right but not the far left) this is bad news. Your "us versus them&quo
