While I may have responded to your comment, I'm not debating you. My intention was to let other readers know that the sentiments you're expressing are little more than gutter eugenics hiding behind a flimsy facade of academic lang

CIS is an anti-immigration hate group founded by a eugenicist and white supremacist. They're widely condemned for publishing factually incorrect and methodologically flawed reports by organizations across all of the political spectrum,

Soulless LLM-ese. The content is needlessly stretched to occupy space, paragraphs, and tables. Any actual insights could have been condensed and conveyed with 80% less text. The "Complete 72-Hour Raw CSV Dataset" CSV contains 13 r

I'm not familiar with the Vals AI Legal Research Benchmark. But their website has other frontier models' scores, and the scores OpenAI is now revealing for "Astra for Law" are slightly less than Claude and Muse: > The

The 13% quoted there was from previous layoffs that mostly took place in Q2 of 2026. This is another 20,000 - 30,000 (the exact number isn't public yet) on top of that.

"Potentially more impressive than solving an unremarkable cipher" means just that. I'm not suggesting that it's groundbreaking new capability never before seen in LLMs.

Prior to the "Elicitation" section, you'd think this article was written by a cryptographer or baroque historian who had been trying to solve this particular puzzle for years - failing embarrassingly until they presented the

I think they'll keep the gaming market alive for a while because renting gaming hardware from the cloud (GeForce NOW) is very congruous with AI keeping consumer hardware prices sky-high. It continues modern trend of chow companies don&

Perhaps these Fields Medalists are coping that OpenAI made them look stupid, as you suggested. And perhaps you're coping because of some personal grudge you have against academia.

My employer would be rightfully outraged if I commented publicly on a sensitive, nuanced, and controversial issue like this based on my second-hand understanding of the matter.

I think the main risk is that if you - or your kids, or your spouse, or a guest, or someone you give/sell the TV to - do connect the TV to the Internet for even a moment years from now, then all those logs you wanted to keep away from

There's a decent amount of third-party interactions that seems like solid evidence that it really happened. They're taking credit for people complaining about the spam on HN: https://www.bottlenecklabs.com/blog&#x2

I feel like I'm completely missing something with ARC-AGI. The tasks are so limited in scale and very black and white, which do not at all map to real-life challenges. I do think it's impressive that LLMs can reliably solve them,

A lot of the early tasks posted to Mechanical Turk by Amazon to get people using their new platform were easily automated. You could basically choose the "none of the above" option 100% of the time and end up with a quality score

The scary thing is that 81% of AI users in this study were determined to be "outsourcing" their homework to the LLMs - and the rate increases the more exposure they had to LLMs. The "slightly higher" performance is based

Every conversation you have with a person is an "exam." Not being able to extemporaneously express yourself or reason analytically without running to Claude seems undesirable.

When I was a kid in the 90s, my grandparents never wanted to get cable television, despite watching a lot of local broadcasts. Their children (and grandchildren) thought they would truly enjoy it: more live sports, history documentaries, an

Distillation is one of the most unique and interesting aspects of this. But otherwise, if a company gives something valuable for creating an account on their platform, expect that people will automate the creation of millions of accounts. I

At first I thought "building a 515-page dossier" was needlessly hyperbolic for what amounts to a printed PDF of typical CRM values from a database. It's not like a McDonald's detective meticulously crafted it. However,

I don't think you can make an informed assessment of the 40 minute interview based on the first 30 seconds of an out-of-context preview clip. I think there good reasons to criticize some of his arguments, but you have to at least make
