It is true. I don't care about having infinite frontier-level intelligence, and I don't care if Fable can one-shot frobnicate a klaxelzorp with a benchmark performance of 97%. I do…

I think the fear is that the people in charge may be too gung-ho about AI and go do something like this, rather than saying that LLMs will spontaneously develop some kind of data a…

Fortunately, Claude won't fit in a van!

Surprising they didn't clean that from the data before training. It's easy to identify, a simple search->replace gets most of it, and a cheap LLM can identify the edge cases (e.g. …

How many tokens would it cost to write some library functions to fill in the gaps?

Who, exactly, should help people host a website?

So the post-introductory price is set such that Sonnet 5 will cost 100%-135% as much?

Sonnet 4.6 is ahead of Opus 4.7? Hm.

The guy is genuinely worried for his future. I see nothing shameful or narcissistic about that, and I don't think it makes sense for you to wish him any harm.

Yes, they certainly should have taken one of the many other jobs that are widely available right now.

Who can afford to use this damn thing though? They're pricing everyone out of the market with stuff like this.

Can you imagine ChatGPT terminating a conversation because it thought your question was "low effort?" The behavior wouldn't be viewed as helpful or aligned, and nobody would use it…

That's because the purpose of this article is not to have an objective debate over their abilities at all. Most interesting research in this field isn't. Instead, it's to present a…

That may be true for now, but it seems clear enough that letting the model use Lean in its internal reasoning process would be a great idea

Sure, you can substantially reduce the information collected about you as long as you don't just give it away somewhere else instead.

The reason I think this is a bad idea is that it lulls you into a false sense of security. The article makes recommendations that seem thorough and sensible - keyword "seem" - but,…

You know, back when it was a noble democracy where all men were free, or something.

Surely there's room for the view that this is misaligned behavior for ChatGPT to have. I would guess this is during the "sycophantic" phase last year.

Yet another round of layoffs. Is there a fallback career? :-/

That makes sense. If you could magically just get the top d PCs in quadratic kernel space without having to compute the whole kernel matrix, and then just do top-d quadratic PCs ->…

Absolutely. Who cares if the LLM automates some of the grunt work? Mathematicians are artists, and they paint with ideas. The goal is map out more of the beautiful structure of how…

What makes this different from just kernel PCA with the quadratic kernel?

People can and do see unidentified things and take plenty of photos of them.

While I am sure FreeBSD is more secure than your average Linux distro, I sure hope they are using these new AI models to harden everything.

Good article, but "We take the exponential of each input and normalize by the sum of all exponentials. This transforms a vector of arbitrary real numbers into values between 0 and …
