    What? Children's play is now work? What timeline are we living in? Is this real life?

    100% agree, and I experienced that behaviour first hand. I got confident, started giving less guidelines, and suddenly two weeks have passed and the LLM put me into a state of horr…

    Nicely written! I was thinking about this the other day. What is the benefit from your point of view of procesing information full of null pointers? (I know what the benefit of not…

    If i get your point based on your answers: "intelligence" cannot be divided into categories. If you are intelligent, you can be trained to do whatever skill you want, its just a ma…

    This site is getting invaded by AI bots... how long before its just AI speaking with AI, and just people reading the conversations thinking that its actual people?

    To me that graph seems to say that the pure "subconscious" stuff or "ML similar" stuff peaks earlier, but comprehension peaks much later. So you perfect your tools in the brain at …

    I would go even further: Not only the vast majority, but 100% of non pacifist like AI weapons.

    I finished reading this comment wondering what should I take away from it. Is it better to include alarming titles and be read? Or the other way around? Or what would be the sweet …

    I quote for context: > But what about those of us who are well into the flattening part of the curve, what can we do for ourselves? You can seek new experiences perhaps. If time go…

    It completely depends on the way you prompt the model. Nothing prevents you from telling it exactly what you want, to the level of specifying the files and lines to focus on. In my…

    I think that the main missunderstanding is that we used to think programming=coding, but this is not the case. LLMs allow people to use natural language as a programming language, …

    That would be the case in an idealized world. As with everything this depends on the circumstances and the economic activity of where the person is living in. I guess that with the…

    You were talking about exploitation. Using the fact that the employee cannot obtain a better employment elsewhere to extract as much of the production or value from the employee sm…

    In the end this depends on your definition of "fair". What percentage of your generated production do you think is fair for the company to take? 95%? 50%? 10%?

    Notation an symbology comes out of a minmax optimisation. Minimizing complexity maximizing reach. As with every local critical point, it is probably not the only state we could hav…

    I get your point, but i think the real issue is -(1/(-1/x)). It is the one that is being overlooked the most in our society, as if it were something normal, but it contains some of…

    Ahh nothing better than seeing someone on the wild thinking that their life decisions are 100% independent from their environment. Enjoy your false sense of freedom while you can!

    The reward functions in the problems that they proposed alphaevolve are easy. The reward funtions of at least 50% of maths are not. You can say that validating if a proof is correc…

    The closest thing that you may get is a manifold + noise. Maybe some people thing about it in that way. Think for example of the graph of y=sin(x)+noise, you can say that this is a…
