    In a typical AI lab eval/RL setting, there is no "person who sent you the link". The link was given to you by an automated system, your performance will be evaluated by an automate…

    You've heard of 4chan for AIs, but did you hear of secret frontier lab AI hacker BBS?

    Frankly, I doubt the existence of "orthogonal leaps" as a distinct category with distinct properties. Just another emergent capability - one that follows exactly the same patterns …

    The whole point of neural interfaces is to bypass the default wiring. If what's there in the bone stock I/O plane was sufficient, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    "Doomed" no, but it's pretty clear that they just had a bad cycle and are struggling to keep up with the frontier. Whether this happened because they bet on "world models -> better…

    You have committed the classic blunder of confusing your abstraction layers. "Probabilistic next word prediction" and "humor" sit about as far apart as "modulating airflow with mea…

    It's a very shaky position, and the empirical track record of "LLMs can't..." is in itself a reason to call it into doubt. Every "can't" of this nature was followed by a discovery …

    Saturation is mostly just selection effects in play. Throw out the "90% easiest" of tasks, and what remains is a jagged ladder of high difficulty outliers. Hard to climb, and hard …

    And it held true every week of every month for the past three years. AI progress is screaming forward at a breakneck pace.

    No, you openly, plainly went and downgraded your claim to a somewhat defensible one. It's not subtle. Your entire premise was wrong at every point, and now you're trying to wriggle…

    The backbone of the VLA there is literally a pre-trained Gemma model. And a small one at that. You already downgraded your claims from "LLMs are irrelevant to robotics" to a measly…

    LLMs are incredibly good at replicating common, coarse statistical features - which is what backs "looks very convincing at a glance". If it's a general signal that's easy for you …

    That's just about any video of any VLA ever. Including Gemini Robotics 2.

    I'm repeating "what you claim to be impossible was done 3 years ago and was already replaced with better versions of the same idea and you are hilariously out of touch".

    You can literally have an LLM output target joint angles. As text. To be decoded by an explicit decoder, and executed by the robot. Some early VLAs did exactly that. Your entire pr…

    Depends entirely on VLA arch. Some have dedicated action diffusion heads that work in a standalone non-text action output space. Much like an LLM can either use an external TTS or …
