Do you? I don't think I do. Unproductive, sure, but not ridiculous.

The fact that I just spent five minutes thinking about it proves that it's not ridiculous at all. The scale is different (so far), but I’m not convinced there’s a qualitative difference.

I hear about IDF war crimes all the time, but this level of lying and cover-up is something new and causing me some serious cognitive dissonance right now. On the tech side I’m wondering if any LLMs were used for the investigation, they don

Fascinating article, it really got me thinking if I'm “out of distribution” enough. Also wild that this could have been a scifi essay just three years ago.

Agreed, if the author truly thinks the markets are wrong about AI, he should at least let us know what kind of bets he’s making to profit from it. Otherwise the article is just handwaving.

I didn't get the impression that he's against text per se, just that LLMs should use a format that's most concise for humans in the given scenario. Example from the video: showing the (textual) diff between old and new versio

Governments obviously lead in military tech, but do you think they have access to better AI (in general) than consumers? Unless they do, I think it's fair to say that governments are behind the curve, since consumers tend to adopt thin

The full quote from 7:40 in the video: "I think it's kind of fascinating to me that when the state-of-the-art LLMs go down, it's actually kind of like an intelligence brownout in the world. It's kind of like when the vol
