Required time to move into a regulated engineering field is 4 years. 4 years in the AI world is currently a 10^4 = 10000x capability delta. It's not like the engineering and academia curmudgeons will replace their employees as much be

How? Seems obvious that I missed the boat on LLMs. I don't have any ideas anyway (I have only one "idea", and it's someone elses and I have no faith that it'll get me a foothold). Robotics will be solved pretty soon

Until reasoner AI 10x's research and solves it far ahead of schedule. You don't even need robotics, just a good multi-modal reasoner model with domain knowledge that you can attach to a headset manna-style [0]. The only thing that

Sort of. To elaborate, the idea is that a Christian (someone who has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior) will show an outward transformation into someone who is Christ-like and obedient to God. When this doesn't happen at all , and tha

1. Christianity (like other religions) has built-in protections against false teaching within their own theology, which isn't really the same for secular philosophical frameworks. 2. There's a level of outlier visibility going on

I think it's an apples and oranges comparison to lump in Christianity (a religion that outright predicts that people will abuse it and protects itself against that) with liberalism/marxism (a philosophy that has no such protection

And wound up building a heretical pseudo-Christianity where the messiah is a superintelligence.

How do I avoid the angst about this stuff as a student in computer science? I love this field but frankly I've been at a loss since the rapid development of these models.

What do you expect to come from full o3 in terms of automating software engineering?

As if cheap multi-modal reasoning won't completely change the nature of blue-collar labor. There isn't a single industry that won't be upturned by this stuff long-term. Most you can do is "be water" and hold onto so

I'm on your side, but there's two readings of these reports: 1) "We are serious, this is going to happen." 2) "AI is big right now so if we hype it we might get some money!"

I'd say with the current state of things it's more like two singularities in which either: - A landian-stephensian accelerationist timeline occurs where the majority of the urban population becomes some flavor of AGI-tuned VR junk

What is that bump in utility in practical terms? You can point to a benchmark improvement but that's no indication the agent swarm is not reducing to "giving an llm an arbitrary amount of random guesses".

Where this ends is general intelligence though, where all more challenging tasks can simply be done by the model. The scenario I fear is a "selectively general" model that can successfully destroy the field I'm in but keep ot

Unrelated, but since you seem to have experience here, how would you recommend getting into the bleeding edge of LLMs/Agents? Traditional SWE is obviously on it's way out, but I can't even tell where to start with this new te

This is me as well. Either: 1) Just give up computing entirely, the field I've been dreaming about since childhood. Perhaps if I immiserate myself with a dry regulated engineering field or trade I would perhaps survive to recursive sel

More specifically: What kind of advice does GP have for Computer Science students in school right now? I've been frankly terrified of the pace of LLM development since 2022.
