I think if you trained an LLM specifically for the purpose of passing the Turing test (instead of being helpful, harmful, and so on), its likely it would pass it. You would have to…

Might be benefits, might be downsides.

In the proof, it claims that "At least two of these must fall on the same side of P′, the perpendicular projection of P on ℓ.". However, this is not true as it is possible that P'=…

"and the only sane thing to do is to fully support high quality ethical research groups and firms as they get up the learning curve of this technology." These research groups are a…

First of all, sure if you screw up designing a bioweapon you die, but unfortunately that does not necessarily mean the bioweapon dies with you, quite the contrary it can kickstart …

Sorry because pointing this is a bit tired by now, but reading already the first two paragraph thete is this unmistakable stench of LLM slop writing. Immediately disengaged.

Didn't humanity also score very low on 353, namely 0 since they were open? Probably collectively we could have gotten a slightly better score if all of Math started trying to solve…

Check out https://arindube.substack.com/p/a-minimum-wage-natural-exper... , very good post comparing states with minimum wage and without, that seem to go against this often repeat…

Not sure the cockroach cyborg will survive such pressures, already surprised it can survive the few feet of water.

I think the board (and disappearing letters) are made with a list of words in mind. Thus, to complete the puzzle (dissolve all letters) you cannot count the bonus words as they wer…

Its unclear to me why the color space is 2-dimensional. Why wouldn't it be a 3-dimensional space, indexed by how much each of the 3-cones is activated ? Not clear to me from the ar…

Well, the most common example si precisely screens, no? A screen displaying the color yellow is actually a spectrum of red and green peaks, stimulating your red and green cones jus…

String theory is in fact falsifiable contrary to popular belief. It's just not practically falsifiable with current (and likely future, for a while) technology as the energy scales…

I think the capex being fixed assumes you can just stop training the next model. But its not clear that you can afford to do that and keep selling tokens. And if capabilities plate…

If you combine the LLM probability distribution with arithmetic coding you can actually use them to compress text losslessly. When people reports 'bits per byte', it is actually th…

I don't think many people disagree with this. The main problem is that labour has been what allows regular people to have negociating power with those who own most of the capital. …

That would be great, but I always wonder: how do you prevent people from photographing an AI generating image through the 'legitimizing' camera?

Not much info on the actual robot... For instance, I wonder how it has enough battery to follow a whale for 'months'? Which seems really unrealistic, as sperm whales can dive more …

Yes! There is an excellent video on the subject, though it is in french ( https://youtu.be/lo7iJnq_U9M?si=FFz6iHI_W4lz9V8D ) He did extensive polling with different framings to see…

I've been using the /ralph-loop plugin for claude code, works well to keep the model hammering at the task.

Why couldn't the calendar app expose in an API the read_calendar and update_calendar functionalities, and have a skill 'use_calendar' that describes how to use the above? Then, the…

Are you certain? My understanding was that this is automatically injected in the context, and in my experience that's how it worked. I never see 'ReadFile(claude.md)', and yet clau…

This is my understanding as well, I thought tools where allowed.

Afaik the experts are not usually very interpretable, and generally would be surprised if at least one does not change every token. I don't know what happens in practice, but I kno…

Nitpick, but the volume increases cubically (it scales with volume), not exponentially.
