For the uninformed, what large negative impact has Robinhood had on society?

“…the only workable future to me seems like forcing agents/robots to be tied to humans.” This is what I’ve been thinking lately as well. Couple that with legal responsibility for a…

Excuse my ignorance, how do these companies evaluate their models against the evaluation set without access to it?

Do you happen to have a copy of that article? I’d love to read it.

> Meanwhile, we have LLMs accepting bullshit tasks and completing them. Would you mind elaborating on that? I’m not quite sure what you mean.

Like a supercharged version of rubber duck debugging.

I don't have much to add myself, but there was a bit of discussion around this back in August that you might be interested in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44831811

There's a number of "robotics and embodied AI" ETFs out there that should show up with a quick search. I don't have an opinion as to their quality so you'd have to do your own rese…

I feel called out :)

I’ve been daydreaming lately about what the fundamental limits of “intelligence” could be, something like the concept of computability but for AI, or even biological brains. Though…

What evidence is there that AGI will come “soon”?

That’s a nice prospect. What worries me is the point at which I’m no longer a required part of the problem solving process.

You don't program at all now? It's all generated? I only ask because I find myself on the tools most of the time still. The difference in how different people experience this tech …

Of course not, I just think the idea of little humanoid robots being controlled remotely, running around doing deliveries and such would be amusing. The potential applications of t…

Or they’ll claim it’s no different from a person looking at something and learning from it, implying that a multi-billion dollar company collating and labelling petabytes of data w…

I bought a new pair of glasses online on Saturday evening as I couldn't be bothered going to a store to try them on. The website had a "virtual try on" feature that would overlay t…

Honestly, it sounds like it would be really funny to me.

Whether or not it is AGI, it seems very reductive to classify something like Claude Code as "just a better search engine".

Enjoy the calm before the storm, while it lasts. I’ve also been focusing on squirreling away as much cash as possible before I’m eventually laid off.

My partner and I have basically decided not to have children at this point for the exact reason you stated. The rate of change at the moment is dizzying and I’m not sure that the f…

Context matters a lot here - it may fail on this problem within a particular context (what the original commenter was working on), but then be able to solve it when presented with …

Genuine question, are these companies just including those "obscure" problems in their training data, and overfitting to do well at answering them to pump up their benchmark scores…
