They don't say they've achieved net energy gain, but they do say they plan to hook it up to the grid in 2024. I feel there are one or two missing milestones.

I believe we're still 15 years out from AGI, but I also think we could start creating autonomous agents right now that make people feel like it's almost AGI. I think Carmack could get something out the door that feels like that.

Obviously this needs a little more polish, but I've wanted this for so long I'm willing to pay for it now if it helps push the tech forward. Can I give you money?

This looks similar to priming in humans. Also, it looks to me like a language model is capable of reasoning if you let it execute a few times. First, have it generate multiple outputs using different primings. Then have it choose it's

Is this ChatGPT? It doesn't answer the question. When I ask ChatGPT it says: "fusion is not directly related to nuclear weapons or the maintenance of a nuclear deterrent"

> In such a world, what value do us engineers provide, if any? We would do systems engineering at the domain level. And when AI can do that, we don't have to worry about jobs anymore.

From a programmers perspective, I just don't see how AI will make us run out of work. You can always just step up one layer of abstraction and have a whole new field of work available to you.

I have directly experienced censorship and harassment by @dang over excessively reasonable critiques of religion. I would link to it, but I've been warned that doing so can get me banned.

Does generative AI produce garbage? Yes. Does it only produce garbage? No. Do people produce garbage? Yes. Do people only produce garbage? No. We have a garbage filtering problem. This exists with and without AI.

I asked ChatGPT to give me a code example for a library that has terrible documentation. It produced perfect beautiful code to do exactly what I wanted. Except the methods it called were completely non-existent in the API.
