The license agreement with Epic contains an explicit term that doesn’t allow them to retroactively change the licensing retroactively for an engine version. You might find that you can’t upgrade to VNext, but a rug pull isnt really on the c

They don’t need to be dererministic, only reproducible. They’re not reproducible, nor are they even reliable right now.

I’m in the “AI can be great, but it’s not right now” camp. I think that pulling the verification into the harness and having the harness execute it rather than the agent would genuinely make AI go to usable for me. But even prototyping a cu

Did we? Many of us have been saying that the amount of compute going into the models is unsustainable and that the models aren’t improving enough to justify that for over a year. The emperor has no clothes is true yet again.

This is silly. People survived before the Haber Bosch process but an overnight removal of it from the world would absolutely result in a catastrophic collapse. If you want to be reductive, we’re all going to die due to entropy anyway, it wi
