Square footage per capita can be misleading because it goes up as an area moves from low density to medium density, but goes down as the same area moves to high density.

9:05 is a good example of the difference between a language model and a world model, because engaging with it on a textual level leads to the bad ending (which the researchers have called "100%"), but deliberately getting the good

Yeah, I think that metric has grown to about 20 lines per day using 2010s-era languages and methods. So maybe we could think of LLM usage as an attempt to bring it back down to 10 per day.

The article is written by LLM and published on Substack, so there's no expectation for it to make coherent points.

The original "Bitter Lesson" essay is about machine learning, but the linked article appears to be trying to apply it to LLMs.

I don't care whether human surgeons or robotic surgeons are better at what they do. I just want more money to go to whoever owns the equipment, and less to go to people in my community. It's called capitalism, sweaty

We're also seeing a new variant of Cunningham's law: The best way to get the right answer from an LLM is not to ask it the right question; it's to post online that it got the wrong answer.

There was literally a vaporware "AI" hype cycle in 1960. Propositional logic programming was poison to investors for 50 years because of that one, just like LLMs will be poison to investors for 50 years because of this one.

Why do articles like this always say things like "I've used LLMs to get some stuff done faster" and then go on to describe how LLMs get them to spend more time and money to do a worse job? You don't need LLMs to frustrat

The official definition of AGI is a system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits. For comparison, this would be like if perceptrons in 1968 could generate $10 billion in profits, or if LISP machines in 1986 could generate $35 b

Norwegian citizens found that they could vote themselves money and it worked out fine. It's almost always a better strategy than voting to give money to oligarchs.

There may not be a correlation, but you can clearly see that the bottom-right quadrant of the plot is basically empty, which is an important insight. A more accurate aphorism would be "You can sell good kebabs anywhere, but you can onl
