   People love simplistic narratives, i usually don't mind but this is just ridiculous. AI hate is gently overtaking AI hype as the most stupid thing around

   Fitting a mathematical function to a dataset does not implicitly adopt the ontological baggage of probability theory. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of applied mathematics

   A bell curve is not an "amortised function." Amortization applies to accounting and algorithmic time complexity, not probability distributions. You're likely thinking of a Probability Density Function (PDF). If you are going

   "How AI precipitated SO's downfall" would be a correct title then

   You are confusing a Probability Density Function (PDF) with a phenomenological curve fit. No one is claiming that time is a random variable drawn from a normal distribution.

   > just because it's approximated by a bell curve doesn't make it a bell curve I'm going to assume this is bait...

   check my other response, it's very much a bell curve, statistically speaking https://postimg.cc/n9nZGLmb

   check the graph and superpose the ai adoption curve, you're right to be skeptical

    Seing a bell curve and singling out a factor that appears only for the 15% of the total time demonstrates some pretty extreme tunnel vision Edit: https://postimg.cc/n9nZGLmb

    Fascinating! I wondered why some people did that

    I’ll always remember Opus going full sarcastic last year, when I asked it to scrape a few tests it had just written: > Of course, let’s delete these perfectly fine tests and replace them with your latest idea…

    Preventing selection is quite the useless and user antagonistic pattern...

    Yes it was more of a jest than a critique, the comment didn't explicitly say which one it was. In this case, it seems quite clear that Apple has a case.

    … so… you’re talking about OpenAI or Apple?

    This is inspiring, thank you to the author, it must have a hard piece to write.

    I really hope this is only a communication artifact, and that they're using more complete representations internally

    I don't like the contrasts they picked, "values" aren't something that is well represented by opposing concepts

    In a great display of irony, these comments are arguing hard and publicly against the conclusion

    As the tools for AI assisted proof become better and mathematicians make it mainstream (could take a while), we're going to be seing some pretty crazy shit. I can't think of a discipline that has more impact on our current toolcha
