He's just trying to meet the graduates at their intellectual level, since the graduates' boos operate at about the same level of depth.

No, the phone connects to your local device. This isn't "codex web" on mobile. Basically you work through your desktop on your phone. So to be clear, there are security risks (you can wipe your entire desktop from your pho

(Someone deleted a comment about why you'd want a mobile Codex app. This is the answer I wrote.) Once you've used these coding agents a lot, you develop a pretty intuitive feel for how they work, what they're capable of, wha

The style of writing and the inclusion of the word "mandarin" made me assume that you were implying WASPs were not participating in the "high stakes struggles". You still have not explicitly stated your view one way or

My types? The person I was responding to claims that if I have a problem with someone shoplifting alcohol and condoms from Walgreens, then it's a moral failing on my part. I responded because I found that absurd. For the record, I d

The numbers don't play out because international chinese students only make up 5-7% (maybe less) of the undergraduate student body. Self-reported cheating frequencies are much higher.

WASPs in this day and age are no more immune to "high stakes mandarin style death struggles".

What? It's a moral failure to have an issue with people shoplifting from Walgreens? Do you think they're stealing milk, eggs, and bread?

This viewpoint is curdling rapidly. The definition of "reasoning" and "intelligence" will be debated for ages by philosophers and cognitive scientists, but whatever type of logical/critical thinking is going on in

This happens whenever a disruptive technology is introduced to a field and I will never get over the irony of a software engineer (in a profession whose entire goal is to automate tasks) not noticing the hypocrisy.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." There is certainly randomness in model output that the user has to work around, but sending the same prompt with the same context (or even wor

"Opponents of obscene wealth/income inequality are typically not motivated by envy – that is your own projection." That's literally what you wrote to start the thread.

With this paper by Microsoft and the infamous paper by Apple last year, it seems the tech giants that don't have their own models are getting a bit insecure.

a little glib, but there is in fact long term learning. It's just that you are not the one mentoring- the models go to intensive OpenAI/Anthropic/Google school for a quarter or half a year and come back (hopefully) improved.

The author might also simply think it is plausible because of the high profile incident with Gemini back in 2024 when it was exposed that political correctness bias was clearly being explicitly programmed into the models.

I agree. Also, Linkedin and CV's shouldn't exist. Self-promotion is gauche.

I don't see how "wordcel" brain is bigger on thinking and agency than "shape rotator" brain unless you have a very biased view of what each is. Also, it really doesn't matter who does or doesn't hate AI.

It's fine if the "rambling" is logically coherent. So the communication ability isn't really about expressing your thoughts eloquently, but just effectively and clearly. Run on sentences and train of thought is fine as

I can't tell how much of this post is describing/LARPing a point of view, or expressing your actual beliefs. The last few paragraphs make me think it's what you actually think though. Glorious as a personal sentiment isn&#x2

How? Most of what was mentioned requires discretion and judgment. You can question whether an LLM would be able to offer that, but there’s no script that can do b it.

I was looking for the first comment along these lines. Regardless of your views on this topic, everyone has an opinion and it's funny how the entire comment section finds a way to self-censor.

I always find these "anti-AI" AI believer takes fascinating. If true AGI (which you are describing) comes to pass, there will certainly be massive societal consequences, and I'm not saying there won't be any dangers. B

we should give a little more credit to the readership of HN. I'm not sure it's that much lower than the average academic publishing on arxiv.

I was surprised at your result for ChatGPT 5.2, so I ran it myself (through the chat interface). On extended thinking, it got it right. On standard thinking, it got it wrong. I'm not sure what you mean by "high"- are you ru

But also why would you ask whether you should walk or drive if the car is at home? Either way the answer is obvious, and there is no way to interpret it except as a trick question. Of course, the parsimonious assumption is that the car is

Yes but unironically. It may seem obvious now that the LLM is just a word salad generator with no sentience, but look at the astounding evolution of ChatGPT 2 to ChatGPT 5 in a mere 3 years. I don't think it's at all improbable
