Cars are not a system. You need roads, traffic lights, drivers and pedestrians that respect rules, not too many holy cows in the way, not too much CO2 in your quasi-self-sustaining spaceship, lungs and livers that can deal with the soot, a

I can only assume the parent poster is referring to the so-called baseband, that is running on the modem processor and indeed is underneath all other OS. To know exactly what each baseband does or doesn't do, just ask people who will t

Insightful Hans Zimmer, 1982: "You should be able to get something out of a machine that is better than an average musician." I think he was even more `absolutely right` than he even thought

why would the terminal not say "completed in 30 minutes" even if it's only really 5 minutes of real work and 25 minutes of thumbs twiddling? If your agentic-harness provider is in bed or just the same as your LLM provider, th

Well, be careful what you wish for. At least I was able to stop reading that thing pretty quickly: it's not unreadable, it's untrustable! ...and yes, adding non-LLMish malapropisms has become my Captcha...

You're a fast reader :-D No quantum bullshittery in there I promise. Equating "classical" with "deterministic" is however pushing it a bit too far, when no one and nothing can ever do even a very small fraction of s

May I suggest the excellent & recent book: "The brain. In theory" by Romain Brette? This is going to elevate your thinking on this no end, if you're interested.

Wow you just got us a complete nostalgia moment to the good old times when the computer who always beats us at chess became `not artificial intelligence`...

The school wasn't Grok, as I understand it it was bad data in Maven.

Can you be more precise maybe?

Can you qualify the benevolence maybe as a factor of the distance to Beijing?

The thing is... although the writing is unmistakably full of LLMisms, I can't fault the `author` for having produced a slop readme. The content earns its keep, it only grates because of the robotic personality. We need another word th

That "loosely" hides a bit of a tragedy on the Studio Ghibli adaptation: instead of accepting the transcendent Hayao Miyazaki work that she and we all deserved, she refused what she misunderstood would be a Disney-like cartoon...

So does your interpretation then also mean that a planned deprecation of Search has started, with well-timed reliability deprecations, so that users are deliberately being taught to rely only on AI summaries?

Or they know it's a race to the bottom where as long as every brand's doing it, consumers have no choice...

Ok. As you write AGI is == 100, can you clue us in as to what general intelligence is?

This gives me sickening vibes of the "War is a racket" take. Both side's agreeing to enable each other's massacre of their own country's downtrodden young masses, while all sorts of profiteering going on at the back

classic generalization: no one I know blames all Germans, but they do blame specific banks and even individuals who profiteered and allowed the conditions for the crash to develop

Yes the Germans were wrong. Artificially low interest rates were won with the switch to the Euro, and German and French banks were the lazy careless agents, not the Greek Hotels chain or Italian restaurant taking on the cheap money under th

Which regulators though? There is no AI regulator that I know of, and I'm not sure they should be one. Exaggerated marketing blurb is pretty legal, right?

Doing his job as a CEO he's making noises, desperately trying to move the overton window now that enough concerned citizens have been made aware of how much malfeasance his product enables, and how little safety it brings. I think at t

Considering the current gerrymandering, all sorts of regulatory capture, and a two-party system that's captured most voter's sense of identity and packaged it for abuse... I think this discussion is extremely theoretical.

...and if a theory is not falsifiable, then it's not wrong, right? Did I miss something in there?

oh you looked up 2126 on the Google did you? can you explain this verification process a bit more maybe? is it based on world3? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World3

can you show us the world model that predicts this outcome? which variables does it take into account?
