    Absolutely can relate. Thats why I would say: Do your own diagrams! At least the text and formatting. Where I do think it ads value is "AI slop 2". This is somehow even better comp…

    Maybe there is a bias for action within our moral and legal system. Fundamentally if you can deal with uncertainty correctly or "perfectly" wouldn't more information always be bett…

    Everybody remember when Zuckerberg told in an Interview in 2024 that human data does not matter that much or more specifically "individual creators or publishers tend to overestima…

    This does surprise me, because you'd think that even if they crank up the filter's sensitivity at the expense of specificity, an LLM company wouldn't simply design a filter that tr…

    What wasn't build with AI is that webpage and it's tiny non-scaling text.

    Social Media creates distinctive Filter Bubbles. A dominant LLM company (or multiple aligned ones) create one way of thinking.

    Was looking for a precise term for that. Thank you! Also AI-Linkedin-Bullshit likes to use "just" additionally and it's mostly along the lines of Y being something much more impact…

    The knowledge that everything is made out of atoms/molecules however makes it much easier to reason about your environment. And based on this knowledge you also learn algorithms, h…

    How do you arrive at the statement that a cavemen would have the same intelligence as a human today? Intelligence is surely not usually defined as the cognitive potential at birth …

    "External Storage" whatever that is can not be the same as continous learning as it does not have the strong connections/capture the interdepencies of knowledge. That said I think …

    Most beyond products I know don't even contain soy as protein source. Regardless of what you think about phytooestrogens (which has very little evidence to have negative effects in…

    The fact that the outputs are probabilities is not important. What is important is how that output is computed. You could imagine that it is possible to learn certain algorithms/ h…

    We are currently working on some christmas puzzle, that are - I would say - a bit more difficult from the visual side. GPT5.1 completely failed at all of them while Gemini 3 solved…
