    This is not "AI", it's non-linear optimization...

    DeepSeek R1 just uses crappy PPO ("GRPO" is just using the sharpe ratio as a heuristic approximation to a value function) on top of distilled existing models, with tons of pipelini…

    I'm not suggesting you build a a whole build system with python (which is basically bazel and it seems to be good enough for google.) A lot of originally little automation/dev scri…

    This is why you force yourself to use nearly zero dependencies. The standard library sys, os, subprocess, and argparse modules should be all you need to do all the fancy stuff you …

    Using python and constraining yourself to only use a basic subset of the standard library modules so you can run the script in pretty much any environment is almost always a better…

    How the hell does the Seek by iNaturalist app work so well and also be small/performant enough to the job completely offline on a phone? You should really try it out for IDing anim…

    This is usually done with shaders and a circle of buffers which maintain state.

    No one ever considers the equally likely scenario of a technological plateau instead of singularity. Complexity/Entropy always forces things to level off. There's an plausible scen…

    hybrid seeds don't breed true. You need to research what hybrid means, I have no idea why you bring up "organic markets" as if the market/growing conditions affect the genetics of …

    What kind of simple features are you writing that 50 lines seems like enough to do anything useful??

    My hypothetical example is not really about oil paintings, but the fact these models will surely get deployed and used for stock photos for articles, on art pages etc. I think this…

    I have to wonder how much releasing these models will "poison the well" and fill the internet with AI generated images that make training an improved model difficult. After all if …

    "removing biological limits" is a big handwave. Biological hardware is tuned exceptionally well for intelligence, and we have a massive amount of it distributed worldwide. We alrea…

    My main gripe about AGI is that everyone assumes a general intelligence will somehow be able to self optimize towards a more and more improved state never reaching a plateau. I thi…
