This seems like an extreme exaggeration from a few people claiming to not understand a very recent result. This cycle of a new result being discovered, and reaearchers needing some time to truly digest and disassemble it, is normal.

I think their point is that it doesn't really matter how competent the lower levels of the command structure are if the ones at the very top are bumbling fools unwilling to listen.

I think it's pretty obvious from the context of "if you had technical gaps (say, you couldn’t write CSS)" that this isn't about someone that regularly works on frontend web apps, it's about someone that is having to

Your comment seems entirely disconnected from the posts you linked. It's impossible to deny the results, it is not PR hype that in the past couple of weeks LLMs have resolved problems that have been open in mathematics for many years.

I don't really get the desire for hyper-personalized entertainment. People are very good at pointing out things they dislike, but not very good at coming up with how to fix them (common wisdom in game design). On top of that, a decent

I think embodied AI or autonomous experimentation will need to make a lot more progress before that kind of thing is possible. Asking AI to design real world objects doesn't work very well because all of its tests involve proxies and t

A decent chunk of the work a student does during a PhD is stuff that their advisor would have done in much less time, but are intentionally delegating to the student to allow them to learn. So, I don't think AI changes the way expertis

I don't believe this is raising the bar for minting fresh PhDs. We need to maintain perspective here, a PhD is essentially work done by a researcher at the least experienced, least skilled point of their career. Their primary goal is t

It's kind of disappointing how few efforts of the level of AlphaFold are coming from the AI research labs. I used to believe that it was an indicator of AI still being mostly useless for research, but that is obviously not the case giv

At this point I just have to assume that you're trolling. Idk how much more explicitly I have to say that it doesn't matter who the owner is, it matters what the owner did.

It's still a skill for now. Prompt engineering specifically is perhaps not as much of a skill anymore, but I think there's a level of skill involved in understanding and/or anticipating when a model is going off the rails. So

I've been using Kagi for a few years. I'd say that the biggest thing to me about it is that it does exactly what so many other sites nowadays seem to hate. It stays out of your way and allows itself to blend into the background, n
