As if you are just a such a genius the models are of no use to you. How can you not think that makes you sound like a complete moron?

I just don't understand how someone can have these models at their disposal not learn anything? The general lack of intellectual curiosity is just mind blowing to me.

You are just such a genius. We all stand in awe. Thank you for letting me be in the presence of such towering intellect. Some might even say Dirac like but I so NO, this simply doe…

We will have the age of the centaur across all white collar domains. How long that age lasts I don't think is all that relevant before it has even happened. The question is not hum…

The worst to me is the way people dehumanize other people who don't agree with them. The other side politically doesn't just have different views, they are barely human knuckle dra…

I feel like Gemini 3 was incredible on non-software/coding research. I have learned so much systems biology the last two months it blows my mind. I had only started using Opus 4.6 …

I think people want to read how AI is not working , so those are the articles that are going to get traction. Personally, I don't think the current frontier models would help the c…

To me it is like steering a car into the ditch and then posting how the car went into a ditch. You don't have to drive that much to figure out that what is impressive is keeping th…

I had a 1990 Ford Taurus as my first car. I had got it used and I remember it being completely impossible to afford a new car at the time. It was sticker price of $33,000 adjusted …

I had not used Claude much until an hour ago since probably before GPT5. I had only been using Gemini the last 3 months. Sonnet 4.6 extended on the free plan is just incredible. I …

I am not against this in spirit but what are the higher order effects and unintended consequences? The only thing that is more annoying to me than market fundamentalist, neo-libera…

Their "ontology" is not bullshit but they speak about it in a bullshit way. I think they refer to it like a product or something they invented as a form of marketing. https://en.wi…

I like the analogy but I think you are underestimating how much random knob twiddling there is in all art. Francis Bacon and The Brutality of Fact is a wonderful documentary that g…

Even besides this, do you feel such incredible existential hate/jealousy towards monkeys, baboons, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos,etc and want to see them wiped off the planet to e…

The good old days when you could trust everything posted on usenet to be true. We must live on different planets.

Like the good old days when the media was basically complicit in support of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction? It seems to me that the news has always kind of been mass bulls…

It really depends on the music you listen to and what your ears are already use to. I thought my fathers old setup always sounded amazing when I was younger. Coming back to it 20 y…

We have agency but it is almost trivial to hijack. Setting up the argument between agency/no agency misses the point IMO.

It is because this subject is the closest to modern voodoo of all modern activities. I rolled the bones myself and it seemed like it worked, therefor X. No, I rolled the bones myse…

I just don't understand this view on Lex Fridman at all. Fridman is quite good at letting the guest speak. The whole show is exceptionally good at keeping a conversation moving. I …

I think the spirit is in the right place but the framing is too extreme. I am never going to be a software engineer either but I took a CS101 class and then data structures and alg…

I think we highly underestimate the amount of "human bots" basically. Unthinking people programmed by their social media feed who don't notice the OpenAI influence campaign. With n…

I use Gemini Pro for basically everything. I just started learning systems biology as I didn't even know this was a subject until it came up in a conversation. Biology is subject I…

Exactly. LLMs are really just an extension of the internet. You can use the internet to expand on what you know or you can use the internet to rot your brain. We have agency to dec…

Hobbes was 63 when he wrote Leviathan. This is a pointless discussion though without talking about testosterone and dopamine levels. Doesn't really matter what your IQ is at 60, if…
