    Defaulting on the debt is not going to happen but the consequences of avoiding default will not be good. Of course, DOGE isn't really going to do anything to fix this either. Compl…

    The problem is we stupidly branded the field "chaos theory" and made it sound like bullshit so the ideas of non-linear dynamics have largely been lost on several generations at thi…

    My experience is that for certain tasks LLMs are great, for certain tasks LLMS are basically useless. The best prompts though are always written in a separate text file for me and …

    This is basically a chaos magic book updated for the next generation. Like an anime/video game culture version of Peter J. Carroll - Liber Null & Psychonaut. Crowley on the other h…

    You would need something like 1000 instances of each LLM putting on trades and have a 1000 random walks to judge an average sharpe ratio or something along those lines. As is, this…

    Kai-Fu Lee gives great insight into the engineering culture in AI Superpowers. What I get from that book is they have a culture of a free for all that anything can be copied and ri…

    It feels like an exercise in anthropomorphization to me. Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is generally not considered to be reality. It makes intuitive sense but is wrong. There are hours of…

    Kai-Fu Lee describes the culture so well in AI Superpowers. The roots are well before GPU restriction. Absolute cut throat competition. Imagine Sam Altman throwing a chair out a wi…

    I use KDE Neon because Windows seems almost childish in comparison. I use KDE Neon because I haven't bought a Mac yet but I don't know if that would be an upgrade. Neon is just sup…

    This is what the field of complex systems and complexity economics tries to deal with but it doesn't seem like complexity economics has taken off. With economics too there is a pro…

    I just ordered the book. This thread though really sums up this site. 100 comments about an article no one read about a book no one read. Everyone is just so obsessed with their ow…

    Suno to me has only produced the most trivial garbage but music is really hard to produce. I could see how someone with no background in music could feel a sense of accomplishment …

    To me this is besides the point. LLMs obviously have use cases but the market has practically priced in "AGI". The danger is not that LLMs take jobs. The danger is that we are in a…

    Why wouldn't we have a small language model for python programming now though? That is an obvious product. I would suspect the reason we don't have a small language python model is…
