jesus christ i don’t get this attitude at all. you do realize that software is like 100x easier to make than it used to be right? the world is severely idea-constrained in a way that it hasn’t been since, what, 1992 with the web? i love rob

yeah, personally i think branching out and using something like a game engine for something like this is a fairly inspired choice. inspired meaning that it literally inspired me to immediately think “oh yeah, there really is a wider univers

tell that to Doug Englebart or J.C.R. Licklider-- the idea of human-computer symbiosis predates basically all computers that we would recognize as such today. crazy how it is only really now becoming true in the way that they envisaged in t

i think we will all look back on Fable as the start of the AGI inflection point. for all i know there are still multiple leaps between now and AGI (i personally am inclined to think that for all intents and purposes we are "already the

i'd say this is something that has gotten orders of magnitude better with recent releases than it used to be, fwiw

i think there definitely is some truth to this in terms of embeddings spaces, which is why i believe they are implemented by OpenAI/Anthropic in roughly highest import => least import bit order-- an overwhelming majority of the vari

ng is a prodigious talent (and was a great professor in my experience), but… this is really quite, quite smelly.

i read this before the article and thought “alright it can’t be that bad”… honestly, you are letting them off easy. it’s like pedantry, but the dunning-kreuger kind.

people who throw out “x is a fallacy” very seldom have anything interesting to say, and this point is no different. the thing is not released yet. there does not exist any easy way to communicate how strong any particular llm model is en to

i blinked. did i miss the part where this post had any content beyond the title calling it a “myth”?

yeah, the urge to turn this page into a skill and then just let it run loose on all my random vibe-coded side projects is very, very strong. seems great for that kind of thing.

wow this is such an excellent framing of something that i have not managed to think about or come across in the vast ocean of discourse about LLMs. i had not really thought about how explicitly they are designed to not have histories that a

trying to get off vaping, myself, and it is both "not that hard" and... a very sticky habit. good for you. was never a smoker, but that doesn't make it a good habit.

ah, so the soft implication that you are simply smarter than me. fine. there's at least a 1/100,000 chance of that. no one forced you to be that smug and dismissive, though-- seems like a few traits that are fairly antithetical to

surely this is closer to the common experience with LLMs... i don't know how people don't see it for the miracle it is. it's like if God himself came down from the heavens and said "no one will ever die of hunger ever ag
