It seems pretty obvious from the steep 'intelligence' drop-off on out-of-distribution tasks that the performance improvement is from throwing untold tens of billions at RL. There a…

> it reads like the diary of a hurt teenager. Yep, down to the pages of iMessage screenshots

Yeah, based on their track record (I mean, even their name is a bad joke at this point) I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Turns out there's downsides to condu…

Setting aside the presented evidence, it feels weird for somewhat emotionally charged complaining like this to go on an official company blog. Companies are generally pretty tight-…

Yeah, the people who say no expertise is needed for these things confuse me somewhat. This is indeed the case if you want to be a meat wrapper around an LLM, understanding neither …

LinkedIn (of all places!) announced a button for flagging this recently: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hsrinivasan1_ai-slop-is-a-top... How well it would work on this site, I'm no…

Yes, I've found that reminding yourself of how they actually work helps keep you on guard against LLM-patterned mistakes. Especially things like carefully considering what parts of…

I'll always give people my honest effort and benefit of the doubt initially, but those who violate it are treated likewise. The only way to put down this kind of behavior is to cha…

Agree, I don't necessarily see a strong argument favoring OpenAI or Anthropic here. In the interest of perspective, can anyone (perhaps playing devil's advocate) give one? The open…

Login-walled for me. Redlib link: https://safereddit.com/r/linux/comments/1vcpk8i/linux_deskto...

Wow! It's amazing how little it seems we've explored of the deep ocean, whenever I hear about it. A whole other world down there, lying in wait... the frontiers of our own planet h…

> The practical consequence: checking with an independent kernel still works, since it required two distinct bugs in two implementations, but users who rely on it need current vers…

Yeah, people with no expertise in the subject need to understand that I don't care what their AI said when they asked it. No value was added in doing so; it's as good as doing it m…

Agree, I've raised this point often. And certainly what remains is still useful, once you accept it! But under no circumstances can we allow scientific achievements to be falsely c…

Yeah, at least when I share my training data with labs releasing their models openly (Chinese or American or otherwise) it's nominally so an even better open model will land in my …

OpenAI must've known this was coming, hence the Luna price drop. This competition is amazing!

Sorry, I should've used clearer language. I just mean intelligence in the sense humans possess it. Computers have always been able to exceed limited elements of human intelligence …

Moving the goalposts, so to speak, is how science works! We must of course update the things we think based on an improved understanding of how the world works. Only the deeply inc…

Not only is the DNA sequence for smallpox available, but since 2018 there's been a well-documented end-to-end synthesis procedure for the very closely related horsepox virus [1]! N…

The effective altruism/rationalism/AI xrisk people have always had a shockingly poor grasp on subjects outside computer science, despite their attempts to speak on them. I don't bl…

The emptiness of AI companies' waxing poetic about the future of humankind is laid bare by simply looking at what they actually do, and who they do business with. Actions speak lou…

It's baffling that they thought the mental gymnastics in this blog post would make them look better. I'd rather they simply fall silent on the issue; I would respect them more (or …
