    This interview lasted over an hour. If he was answering wrong they should have said something.

    I think this is disingenuous comparison. When we read a book we can estimate the amount of data we're taking in based on the character count (each character being represented by so…

    I really don't think your argument is very convincing. Some of your examples are downright ridiculous? "Jobs" Making a movie about one of the creation of some of one of the most fa…

    I think there's been natural but steady progress with since 2024 with the release of the o1 model, which showed impressive reasoning capabilities. But I think it's wrong to look at…

    Maybe you need to phrase it better. Like with a more specific direction of thinking.

    I think he's talking about reasoning models.

    I think your analogy is good but I don't believe modern LLMs use Lean or any lean-like structure in their proofs. At least recent open source ones like DeepSeek can do advanced mat…

    Not a physicist either but my understanding is that is that if you believe that we can discover all the laws of physics that explain how the world operates then it needs to have a …

    Are you sure? I think "normies" would prefer to see and try on the clothes they buy.

    I can give you the exact mathematical formula used to statistically optimize the output of a neural network from input examples. Can you do the same for the brain?

    Did you misstate your comment? The Jordan normal form is more general than spectral decomposition so it should come after.

    I don't really see how this implies the above commenter's statement is "simply not true".

    I think this was a failure. The gold standard should be that the if every human driver was replaced with an AI how well could the system function. This makes it look like things wo…

    > Models don't have access to "reality" This is an explanation of why models "hallucinate" not a criticism for the provided definition of hallucination.

    I think the problem with your post is that it started a list of "incorrect statements" with a statement that wasn't incorrect.

    You're missing the point. Those kind of narrow AI applications are not the motivation for the trillions of dollars being poured into AI. Of course AI has a variety of applications …

    Aren't you forgetting about the software that makes it so easy and straightforward for newcomers to flash programs and experiment the microcontroller?
