That's because they're not overestimating their product, they're trying to gauge what risk looks like.

It's always really embarrassing to come to these comment sections and see a lot of smart people talk about how they're not being fooled by the "marketing hype" of existential AI risk. Literally the top of the page is say

That's just generative or procedural though. It's ok of course that it's not truly infinite, I'm just posting because it was disappointingly finite . There were concepts I was trying to build up to that simply didn&#x

I mean, not really, no. I'm not trying to be super critical here, just, it's not even presented as a exploratory LLM project. It's only presented as "infinite", and it's... not.

Games like this already exist and have comparable complexity, so calling it infinite and using an LLM backend feels overhyped. For example, Castle + Fortress = Castle? City + Town = Castle. Castle + Wall = City? Metropolis + City = Megalopo

I think it's the worst part, because it's completely inscrutable. Ask for the same thing in different wording and get a different response. Ask for a similar thing and get stonewalled. A config file has structure which you can (in

It's mostly dark matter. Apparently galaxies wouldn't be able to hold those shapes if they were merely made of the dust, gas, and stars we can see.

Countries should have their own TLDs, but they should be more obvious and/or not available to the public.

Huh. Yeah, I thought there would be more substance. But this seems completely meaningless. Or perhaps even like it supports the ancient origin story.

No, but the next breakthrough might... Why do so many hackers have so much difficulty seeing that the current state of public LLMs is not the pinnacle of AI technology? Nobody ever even claimed that they were.

No, it's a fear that the other lab will take over the world. Profit is secondary to that. (Whether or not you or I think that's a reasonable fear is immaterial.)

Communist imagery isn't commonly associated with genocide in the US nor is it actively being used to promote genocide in the US, so this makes sense.

It isn't just money, though. Every leading AI lab is also terrified that another lab will beat them to [impossible-to-specify threshold for AGI], which provides additional incentive to keep their research secret.
