The video in the post is very worth watching and is indeed scary. It is certainly true that it is in OpenAI's interest to publicize this, but I don't think the whole thing is inven…

In the end, unless we are talking about art, in most areas I probably prefer something that follows some specific set of requirements and recipes, rather than have some sort of ind…

Yes, but sometimes I don't need and want to learn. One example from my recent experience in research -- building custom dashboard pages for results of scientific analyses. Each ana…

I have just tried to switch to 3.6 instead of 3.5 in antigravity and it seems to constantly spit "critical instruction: STOP CALLING TOOLS NOW. YOU MUST WAIT FOR WAKEUP. ". I think…

SpaceX stock price has nothing to do with rockets. The majority of the supposed 'valuation' is associated with AI.

When it comes to coding, non-programmers do not have to be in a defensive position worried that their job is under risk, instead they just see a great tool that saves them time, es…

In the end, standardization of this type of things can only be good even if the effect on waste is small. There is no need to create additional ways to confuse people.

Seeing the words "recursive self-improvement" I was expecting something else from the article. E.g. how the transformer architecture or agent design is being changed/improved throu…

When the consciousness itself not understood and well defined in the first place, it is pretty pointless to debate if something is or isn't conscious. And here in particular the re…

I guess you are happy with this: "Staffers there who may be political appointees and not necessarily subject matter experts sometimes ask for substantive changes in the research."

"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it."

In my understanding some index funds i.e. FTSE Russel ones will include spacex with the weight based on the floated stocks, so in practice the weight in the index will be small eno…

I simply don't understand why leveraged buy-out(LBO) is allowed in the first place. It is like paying for the company with the money from the company you are buying.

It is false. It is not the case for UK and several EU countries at the very least

It is false for the UK. The whole system of US of needing to leave the country to even renew visas is absolutely bizarre and does not have analogues in most other countries (at lea…
