There doesn't seem to be much consensus on defining what intelligence is. For the definitions of at least some reasonable people of sound mind, I think it is defensible to call them intelligent, even if I don't necessarily agree.

In Firefox my tabs have text, and I frequently rearrange tabs with my cursor. I think this is a pretty common usage pattern (I do it on a daily basis). It would be an enormous pain if most of the area on the tab turned my arrow cursor into

I think saying that "LLMs can produce outcomes akin to those produced by human intelligence (in many but not all cases)" and "LLMs are intelligent" to both be fairly defensible. > I see no reason whatsoever to believe

Also I think it is plausible (if not likely) that LLMs reduce the demand for other kinds of software. They're (relatively) general purpose and can handle many tasks that previously would've needed bespoke software (and a team of p

I don't know much about the science of colors and I imagine this is going to be very subjective but I would at "worst" describe the rightmost OKLCH color as blue-green (but probably just "light blue"). Meanwhile the

I think that is probably true now (in the US), but the hypothetical is that it is made easier to lose your license. DC recently banned "right on red" but it is routinely ignored and the penalty is apparently a $100 fine. If the pe

Doubtless some would ignore it, but you can go to jail for driving on a suspended license. I suspect there are a lot more people willing to risk a traffic ticket and a few $100 in fines for speeding, bad lane changes, etc. than there are pe

But if AI can do anything that human labor can do, what would even be the incentive for AI owners to farm wheat and sell it to people? They can just have their AIs directly produce the things they want. It seems like the only things they wo

It seems like you might need less output tokens for the same quality of response though. One of their plots shows o3 needing ~14k tokens to get 69% on SWE-bench Verified, but GPT-5 needing only ~4k.

Right, I get that they make most of their money from sources other than their salary. But that seems like something we should aim to discourage, as it is pretty ripe for abuse. It is clear that many of them trade on non-public information,

Yeah $150k in DC is comfortable but far from luxurious (if you have a family, which it seems like most congresspeople do). It would not be enough to incentivize me to do the job of a congressperson.

I think they were talking about total time spent working rather than remote vs. in-person. I've seen more than a few studies over the years showing that going from 40 to 35 or 30 hours/wk has minimal or positive impacts on product
