That's the other thing. Even if it somehow magically turns out that they didn't plagiarize Buckmaster and Alpöge, that an independent audit goes through all their processes and finds that they could not possibly have stolen anythi

Yeah but they at least they got to steal $1 million from that nasty math prof who didn't want to remove his co-author.

Douglas' 6:59 AM UTC post is edited. He has a 6:22 AM UTC post that predates Brown's 6:47 AM UTC post: https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/209720900556759874... Also note the lower post ID in the U

In an earlier HN thread, there was speculation that Anthropic was being dishonest about the amount of human input required in some of their results; that was dismissed as conspiracy and flagged. It seems clear now that mathematical results

Or, given how dedicated he appears to be to the company, a promotion and a raise.

I guess we won't know if that's what was used (and maybe even provided as part of the prompt given that both Alpöge and Mathew are mathematicians) since they decided against sharing their Fable conversation and instead opted for a

I don't think it is nonsensical at all. The author and his collaborator both appear to be bright people, so there's a good chance they had to offer non-trivial insights to guide the LLM, yet it's clearly in the interest of hi

I mean the front page is full of LLM smells, so presumably the games are made that way too. And that's fair; this whole thing could be one-shot with any of the leading models.

And the cookie consent form is one of those that require you to click a gazillion toggles. Hasn't it been established now that opt-out must be no harder than opt-in?

The endorsement system already works along that line: https://info.arxiv.org/help/endorsement.html It's probably not perfect but in practice, it seems to have been enough to get rid of the worst crackpotty spam.

The workaround for me is to always resize by clicking Alt, right click, and drag. At the end of the day, that's probably just straight up easier, since you never need to bother getting close to the borders of the windows.
