I don't understand this line of reasoning. Like genuinely. So with AI coding (let's just limit ourselves to coding); are you saying that the Agent is going to prompt itself? Like i…

Isn't that what a well run company does when creating a process? Bureaucracy and process, reduces the penalty of weak domain context and in fact is designed to obviate that need. I…

Good stuff. I hope Noah is ok, couldn't read the rest of the article ... I really don't know what to say anymore tbh.

I am not seeing any evidence of China "replacing teachers with AI" anywhere (did some googling/geminiing). Are there any sources on this? Seems like they are trying to introduce st…

I don't disagree, writing code will probably no longer be a thing in the near future. This is probably also true for all knowledge work (math, design, etc etc.) which is literally …

Wait you used Claude Code to recreate patents and schematics? Are the schematics for this easily available somewhere? Was Claude just able to one-shot this?

more pointedly: the commenter presumes that the friends are unhappy with their lives. Also that some them would be better served performing back-breaking menial low-wage labor whil…

Would you think it would be better for "society" to allow more people to go into finance and law? Or that advanced knowledge should be gate kept by only the select cognitive elite …

No one really knows. But a few things I think about myself. 1). There are many many people there couldn't probably already write more lines of code than me and work for much much c…

Hahah absolutely!! Man that brings back memories.

I don't think there is anything more than the standard advice. Just stay curious, make friends/build a community, keep learning, stay healthy. Why not get the AoE? you can also, ch…

So TLDR: I am not sure we learned a lot about how humans learn language with LLMs: all we learned as that it can be done by "something" but we already knew that. These specific tec…

Yes I know of this "study" AFAIK it has not been subjected to peer-review and uses a lot of suggestive language. Other studies have shown that these things use large bags of heuris…

That is a fair point. I do not disagree that building (tenuous at best) models of Neurons can help inform science and engineering and vice-versa. Much of "classic" digital signal p…

Oh man I was not aware of this aspect of Turing's work thank you for sharing!! Honestly, trying to reverse engineering something to understand how it works is interesting and poten…

No. I am saying that the broader scientific community probably cannot run experiments on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini as they would be able to on say a mouse's brain or even on human…

Are we sure that is what is happening? Can you really do any meaningful "science" when the subject understudy is a black box that is under a shroud of secrecy? What has been learne…

I love this koan! Thank you for sharing and appreciate the response. I'm not entirely convinced that these models aren't already capable of asking novel questions (you can instruct…

But we have AGI? We will have an intelligence super explosion by 2027 and a country of super geniuses just sitting around waiting for your command to "solve death" in 3 years after…

Yeah I agree! I use GPTs (Gemini 2 series and o3 etc.) and they are excellent! But even they sometimes don't quite get the nuance of things or subtly misses the point! There are ce…

I think the point is that universities and public research broadly speaking tolerate a lot of risk that private institution are not built to shoulder. I'm no AI historian but ANNs …

LLMs have broad adoption since like 2 years ago: my GF and sister both have used previous models to write (successful) grant applications with previous iterations so "AGI" has been…

I really like Gemini 2.5 and the price is excellent!!! I find it very fun and useful! The AGI narrative is annoying and exhausting ... because it's as though we are just sitting ar…
