I believe they would still be called generalists.

Okay, let's take it seriously. What do you propose? What can your average person do to prepare for RSI beyond bracing themselves mentally?

I think that's a reasonable view. Though I personally see LLMs more as replacers, not as tools to utilize.

This was common before LLMs as well. Instead of googling, they ask you, then you google in front of them and show them how easy it was to figure out. At least in my experience, the…

Maybe they have it but simply don't use it.

I think it depends on what type of cognition you want to stimulate. It's probably useful to familiarize yourself with a suite of API calls, or get a big picture view of how an algo…

I'd say as long as we can clearly see the 5% are working better than an LLM, why not strive for it? Shows what humans are capable of, and it's probably achievable to most. I'm not …

The only charitable interpretation of the hyper-personalization take I can give, is that you would want to see content that elicited a certain type of emotion inside you (so, a ver…

This one will be so deeply engrained in the model that no data cutoff will let it reimagine it. Though I suppose our human minds are 'poisoned' with the same image.

I've been interpreting AI task solving capabilities as a search problem: being smarter lets us prune more of the tree and try out different things more efficiently. I think this fi…

That's a scary notion: what happens when the money claiming that AI writing is good, surpasses the one claiming otherwise?

Oh, I didn't even consider this. Now that you mentioned it, I wouldn't be surprised if the stochasticity is intentional so users don't treat it as deterministic, and the company is…

I think the main takeaway from the LLM Agent era is that a lot of human work can be expressed as a search problem: trying approaches that work, and settling on one that accomplishe…

I wanted to respond with something of substance (I still don't understand if it was a paraphrase or not) but every reply here is a meta reply, so hello to all fellow meta reply guy…

Looks very similar to the GPU game https://jaso1024.com/mvidia/

I don't think we're approaching the limit of deterministic prompt -> source code mapping any time soon. Small variability in prompts produces medium variability in outputs. Buildin…

Why is it draconian? If we take Dec-2025 as the point where the models became good for real work (agreed by many), not even a year has passed since then. The world hasn't changed, …

I wonder whether there are any obvious third party targets that would affect a large portion of unsuspecting LLMs. Perhaps the Wikipedia page of an unfolding geopolitical event, po…

It's probably fuzzily fixable by including instruction authority levels in the training data. Can't expect much more than that, given that the model itself is fuzzy.

Lately, I've been having less and less success using the models for work. Simple things like: 'write this in a separate file' (writes it in the same file) 'format this aiming for 5…

> This is a reason why many people get upset when a movie adaptation is made I still haven't watched the Dune movies because of this reason. I liked the book a lot, and had a very …

I imagine this varies by person, but thinking about a source file is already reminiscent of 2D space navigation, where the X axis is typically gated by conditions. In a similar vei…

I think Google can play both sides here: they may end up a frontier lab if OpenAI/Anthropic dissolve, or a regular LLM provider, in which case they could be serving open models.

That's the type of culture that made me leave my last job. Feels very inhuman when you see your manager every week, and they still make you fill in robotic questionnaires for poten…

> Hard to see take-off stopping I think it's reasonable to assume that we're close to, or already at superhuman cybersecurity capabilities at certain domains. But reaching superhum…
