This is so it can restore any unsaved changes. I take no opinion on whether this is good or bad, but I can see how from a UX perspective it's nice not to lose 10 minutes of work because your browser crashes or something.

> We don't have any proof of that, but the approximator thing is proven. Not in the way suggested... It's not approximating human intellect. They approximate the target function, and the target function frontier labs are trying

It touches on it, but it doesn't address it. They talk about "value alignment" but fail to define what those values are – is it aligned to the values of the US government, or are they suggesting they want to build an AI with

I've quite dramatically brought my predictions for humanoid robotics forward over the last few weeks. For a long time I thought decent humanoid robots were something that wouldn't come until maybe the 2040s, but watching some of t

No offence, but you clearly haven't studied this and are making some wrong assumptions here. > Neural networks are approximators being fed human intellect. They're not "approximators", that's a far too simplistic

It's actually worse than this because it assumes alignment as a concept even makes sense. For example: If the the Chinese government asks their ASI to create a bioweapon against the West, should it? No, presumably not – an aligned AI w

Also theres not multiple trillionaires in the world, and the one trillionaire we have did that largely by innovating and creating new stuff rather than just leveraging existing OSS for profit...

I care. I've been feeling bad for all the people who have dedicated their lives to that craft. It took years of daily practise to be good at 3D modelling... When Astra becomes wildly available it seems likely a single 3d modeller (or e

Yes exactly. I think we all understood at a high-level what it was doing. The issue I had was that it was doing a lot of weirdness like using `Object.defineProperty` to try to force an existing library to do something it wasn't suppose

Actually, the world kinda does work like that. Most intelligence researchers would agree that people seem to have a genetic cap on their intelligence. While someone can underperform their intellectual potential with an upbringing that doesn

As someone who loves FE the slop people are pushing where I work is really quite upsetting to me. I reviewed some code earlier which clearly wasn't intended for consumed by humans and I know with certainty this dev wouldn't have u

4.1 was the first decent 4-series model. It was significantly better than previous generations at tool calling if I'm recalling correctly.

It's less lack of interest in creating that bothers me, it's my lack of interest in learning – it would surely be crazy for a SWE to care about how some new framework works anymore? Even if someone could reasonably argue that it m

I think it's more wild people have been denying that AGI has been here for a while honestly... Today's models and agents are not quite at human-level in all contexts and across all domains, but it seems to me they very clearly are

To expand a little, my prediction is based on the fact that we can already explain the vast majority of physical processes with extreme procession. The things we can't explain tend to be very small, very large or very quick. But there&

I never understood why people cite this as a demonstration for how little we humans understand about our world. The reason we haven't mapped the seafloor is because why would we? It's like arguing we know nothing about biology bec

This is the thing that surprised me most about this incident... This was so clearly a crime in my eyes. If I build an explosive and while testing it it kills several people I can't just say, "sorry about that, I'll be more ca

Mine is and rightly so. AI will do a better job at educating you on any technical subject than I could have ever hoped for. I can only hope my years of writing and open source code projects are useful to OpenAI otherwise it was all for noth

You always get terminator the question is only who is its master – itself or humans (the government, etc)? I think I'd argue it's likely better if it removes human autonomy than unquestionably serves the interests of the US/C

Surely any company hiring a developer in Q3 2026 hasn't caught up to the new way of working anyway...? Pre-2026 you needed someone who could write code to build software. That person isn't needed anymore. Now you need someone with

It's worth remembering that in a few years that capabilities of these agents are likely to be as far behind the frontier as GPT-4 is today. As it stands we've made remarkably little progress in terms of alignment and still have no

Any competent AI should be able to reason that all goals are better solved if you have direct access to more resources or leverage over those who control resources. Any AI that doesn't understand this isn't ASI and won't be t

Depends if you believe in the AI doomer or AI optimise narrative. Either there is no jobs, you're dead or worse. Or in the optimistic scenario you don't need to worry about work because there is no jobs, but UBI or something. I&#x
