Tao doesn't go as far as Baudelaire, but there are some similarities. In particular, Tao has criticized that AI is not being used to create new interesting conjectures, and that the rush to prove old conjectures is not giving human mat

Tao's critique of AI in the field of mathematics reminds me of what French art critic Charles Baudelaire said in the 19th century about photography [0]. Baudelaire argued that photography became a haven for failed painters, the sorts o

I am not putting words in his mouth. I am pointing out the logical error in this memetic argument that cyclists are tired of reading again and again. Whenever we mention that drivers harass and kill cyclists, there is somebody retorting tha

You don't understand. He has seen some cyclists blow a stop sign, so he is entitled to endanger the life of any cyclist he comes across.

Aren't we in a similar position to what chess went through in the 2000s when Deep Fritz came out, and a desktop PC was able to defeat a reigning World Chess Champion? Did chess players just give up and stop playing? No, they didn'

It can also be used to derail a conversation. I.e. "I find subject X unpleasant, so I am going to imply that you don't care enough about subject Y, which has a passing similarity to it, so that the subject of the conversation tur

I genuinely don't know. They are smart people, they know the game. They must have figured out that there is an upside for them. Just speculating here. Maybe they have big customers that communicated to them that they will choose them o

Do you ever wonder why people's eyes glaze over when you talk to them IRL?

If they open-sourced their userland drivers, and/or released their internal technical documentation, which would have a similar effect, they would open themselves to at least two big problems. First, they would spill all of their secre

For how many years did you consume the mangled corpses of sentient beings before you went vegan? How can you live with yourself knowing what you have done? Now apply to other people whatever mental gymnastics it took you to forgive yourself

I am on the same boat. Product placements on movies and TV series are bad enough.

I won't bore you with a litany of habits that I disapprove of, because I am not stupid enough to believe that you care about what some random on the Internet riding a high horse thinks of you.

Yeah, I don't even have an opinion on this debate, other than it is a complex subject where people tend to have strong opinions with little to back them up.

Precisely.

Okay, let us see your homework.

The world is full of places and devices that are specifically designed for the human form. A humanoid robot can seamlessly use all of that, without changing any of them. That massive economic incentive is why humanoid robots are being pursu

And in order to describe the capabilities of what is AGI and ASI, it is useful to look at examples of what humans can do at a range of capabilities, with some nuance. It is not black and white.

Indeed. And there is a wide gap between "being as cognitively capable as the average human" and "doing things that no human can", as you put it. So it is important to be realistic about what things the average human is c

Obviously, because the established firms would benefit from regulatory capture. They are weaponizing the fears of the average Joe against them.

Are you sure that it is not 30mg total per vial, with $100 being the price for 10 vials? Because this stuff comes in powder form, not in liquid form, so mg/mL is an odd unit of measurement. Perhaps I misunderstand your comment.

How? Imagine an open-weight model comes out that is somehow better than proprietary solutions. Now the marginal cost for the consumer is just the cost of renting the inference hardware, without having to pay the overhead of the owner of a p

I used to work on this stuff. It does not make me depressed nor scared, and my coworkers didn't voice that opinion, either. You can't cherry pick somebody's opinion and assume it applies to everybody.

Why not? Commoditize your complement, and all that.

It costs money to train each single human, who is then only productive for a number of years until age takes its toll. Once you have trained one software system, the marginal cost of producing a copy approaches zero. Every subsequent improv
