Most contemporary stories around AI include the implication that AI did something humans couldn't. This is because the big players have been shilling AGI hard for a while, and their valuations depend on maintaining the sentiment that

Does "without AI" mean without posts about AI, or without posts written by AI? I think this is the former, but I want the latter.

In this domain, an apparent single unique piece of work is often composed of several breakthroughs. For example, when Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem, he had to develop multiple new pieces of mathematical technology to get th

That link is a helpful contribution to this discussion. I'm not at all familiar with this area, but my reading is that he appears to call it out as a relatively obvious extension of his own work: > It is a creative and at the same t

One argument for LLMs is that although all information on topics X, Y and Z was already available somewhere, LLMs make that information more exploitable through collation, filtering and dynamic tailoring. For a relatively narrow subject are

I would say that Bainbridge supports my position, if anything. Take a look at section 2.3 of her paper, where she lists all the reasons why simulation can be unsuitable in preparing for complex incidents: https://davidjusth.com&#

I read the article before commenting, as is my habit. A disagreement is not always a failure to process. To be very explicit, my problem is that the article argues that simulation will be a suitable substitute in the software space, as it i

This article leads up to a hypothesis presented without evidence. Yes, it's clear that if AI agents handle routine issues then only the most complex issues will be handled by humans. In no way does it follow that humans will be less pr

Any plans for the n-hop version, ideally with a limit on the dwell time between successive hops? I'd be interested to know how far I could get with, say, no more than two changes and no more than 30 minutes waiting at each stop.

Because it's correct but irrelevant. It tells you about as much about the utility of LLMs as the statement "humans are just overpowered tree shrews" tells you about us.
