Thanks, I didn't know that. And it reinforces the discussion. Electricity 'knows' the path is least of resistance because it actually took all paths. There is just a vast majority of it that flows down a path of least resista

The frontier LLM model makers have to push the edge to make new discoveries. You don't know what guardrails are needed until it hits you in the face (reusing walking in the dark analogy). Think of all the policies governments pass afte

Code is deterministic, AI isn't. You give it rules, words as suggestions. So if the guardrails suck, or they're left off for research purposes, bad things can happen. A solution solves a problem. Ethics, morals, are values we assi

A platform: aka the foundation under the bank. The material cement that allows chips to exist above it. And the platform is made of time: ours.

You're touching on utility. We only ever bother learning something because it's interesting, or useful. Things get muddier when you consider economy. Businesses exist to make money, and money is time. AI is just another tool for b

I had a huge post written up to address your points, but I have to get moving, my ass is literally falling asleep. It's easier just to say: It's all about time, my man. Nobody wants to waste it.

They say writing engages more of the brain and helps us to remember what's written more than if we just read it, or copy and paste. When you say it's easier to go manual, it seems you're talking about learning retention. And

Are your silver platters producing something faster, better, or cheaper? Do your silver platters give you some competitive edge? If not, then is the ego problem yours, or your coworkers? Having said all that, I'm aware of the intoxicat

I'd say it's more about learning how to organize your work more efficiently. If you think about a product like marble: it's something that most be chiseled out of time. Some people can chisel better products: the AI is just a

You can also understand the very simple basic essence of something, but get lost in the complexity when scaling up. Binary is very simple, but scaled up: look what we've created with software. When it comes to explanation: pulling from

You just never know these days. It could be a smartphone keyboard issue. How much time should a person spend reviewing their comment before hitting reply? There is a bar of quality each of us expects everyone else to follow. Sometimes we me

When is it appropriate to admit that you don't know? There's a famous Socrates quite about wisdom: I know that I know nothing.

ah man, my bad. 99% of the time I read the articles before I comment. The article literally made my point already. Sorry about that.

There is an ability to hold ideas in the mind simultaneously. Some can hold a great deal more than others. It can be exercised, but is definitely bound by genetics. If you want an example of someone at the near peak of human ability, check

There is always going to be a problem when we must judge value. You mention gains, short and long term. Knowing whether something is valuable, a gain, requires a judge. I the case of these tests: the judging is inadequate. In economics, eac

I like to think of it more as selective pressure, much the same way that nature selects the most fit for a given environment. If you're not fit, you fail to survive. In the case of agents/models and testing: they are pushed toward

Creativity also requires information. And Information is discovered. We can only generate random ideas from what we know. We can't imagine something we've never sensed, or know. You can't imagine a color you've never see

There is always some form of social loafing going on in any large group of people doing work. "The Ringelmann effect is the tendency for individual members of a group to become increasingly less productive as the size of their group in

This is good stuff. At the end of the day, we all have finite time. How we choose to spend that time is a personal matter. Some say we're losing our humanity: that can be seen as good or bad, depending on whether or not you think you a

You are right. I'm not saying I like the way things are trending. But I also think setting up our children means making sure they're prepared for the future. I don't think AI will ever replace the importance of education.

If you consider things like Mythos (I know it was partly hype), and cyber security using AI to find old vulnerabilities in open source tools, and others using that information to actively disrupt the economy (this is already happening)....

This is a topic about predicting and preparing for the future. If you want to be snarky: this is hackernews, not reddit. Bring some logic into the discussion and stop fishing for points.

I agree with most of your points except the last one. Probably easier to ask a question than argue a point: How eager are you to use Government services? Businesses are only well-run if they make profit: hiring the cheapest labor to produce

I doubt it. There is so little care for monopoly or copyright because AI is a race, as much as it is a tool. And nobody wants to restrict the race. Policy may pass that limits the use of AI for the general public, but the 'whatever it

I think it's more of a prestige discussion. Who leads, who follows, between countries. Not whose super intelligence is better. Who got their first, and how are they using it?

That is always going to be a personal race. You can get in the currents of education, but your success will always depend on your own paddling.

The irony of the dotcom crash is that a lot of 'dark fiber' service started rolling out decades later. Fiber that was laid during the dotcom era. There are lots of datacenters going up in similar fashion. I don't know if they
