On my last project, it kept trying to use the system python instead of the project's virtual environment. It also kept using the wrong build tool. Both things wasted considerable tokens because the agent got sidetracked trying to under

I don't have aphantasia, but I'd be interested to know how it influences coding and software development. I think, coding typically involves a lot of keeping track of the "runtime state" of the program, i.e. how variable

I remember reading they actively prevent AI agents from using their site or being able to track purchases. So congratulations, the uselessness for tracking is the point.

A spike is an early prototype that you're supposed to throw away after having figured out the real design. I think it was subtly dissing you.

It's kind of funny how there is all that talk on the page about a new "humanist" font and important typographic and aesthetical considerations - and in the end, the entire reason for this were licensing fees... But on that no

Then this whole comment thread was a diversion though, as it was specifically about the hardware parts and not model training.

I still think there is a contradiction he glossed over. In a capitalist society, jobs have a dual role that is sometimes paradox: For workers and employees, jobs are a source of income, skill, status and participation; for the (capitalist)

Personal opinion: I don't think consciousness is as monolithic and intractable as we make it out to be. I can't explain qualia either, but if we assume that all of it is physical, then we can apply some constraints based on the th

Yes, sorry, I had typed that on my phone. But yeah, now I want to know more too about python's new type wolfing paradigm.

Isn't "..." then also behaving like True, False and None, i.e. being a lexical token that rewolves to a hardwired value during parsing?

Interestingly, there are more use cases for hysteresis in UI design, e.g. it was famously used in nested menus in Windows: https://www.mackido.com/Interface/hysteresis.html I think there was also an article about it on

Well ok, if you prompt-inject the LLM to pwn the machine, that something different. I grant you that it's a real risk, but it's also basically a reflection attack and nothing more. The OP seemed to imply that the LLM itself could

Out of curiosity, what does an explicit "anti-AGI" AI research organization do? Train a "definitely not AGI" AI?
