so do teachers and books, in the future we need have multiple variants to cross check
Cross check against what? AI generated texts will flood the internet and burry the real knowledge just like SEO did before. But this time the fake knowledge will be less obvious and harder to check.

Yep, get into any sufficiently deep niche (i.e. actually almost any non-trivial app) and the LLM magic fades off. Yeah sure you can make a pong clone in html/js and that's mainly because there the internet is full of pong clone demos. Ask how to constraint a statsmodels lineal model in some non-standard way? It will gaslight how it is possible and make you loss time in the process.
Making a pong clone by telling the LLM to make a pong clone is a cute trick that sometimes works, but that's not the way anyone who understands how to properly use these tools is using them. You don't describe and app and hope the LLM builds it correctly. You have to know how to architect an application and you use the LLM to build small pieces of code. For example, you tell it to build a function that does x, takes…
It does both. It gives coders superpowers, and gives noncoders the ability to do things that would have previously taken them months, or another person.
I'm sure the debate over the definition of AGI is important and will continue for a while, but... I can't care about it anymore. Between Perplexity searching and summarizing, Claude explaining, and qwen (and other tools) coding, I'm already as happy as can be with whatever you want to call this level of intelligence. Just today I used a completely local AI research tool, based on Ollama. It worked great. Maybe it won…
I'm pretty sure the plan has never been to just make these tools that make us more efficient. If AI stays at the level it's at, it would be a profound failure for companies like OpenAI. We're all benefiting from the capital being poured into these technologies now. The enshittification will come. The enshittification always comes.

How do you address this problem with people? More than once a real live person has told me something that was wrong,
You can divide your approach to asking questions with people (and I do believe this is something people do): 1. You ask someone you can trust for facts and opinions on topics, but you keep in mind that the answer might only be right in 90% of the cases. Also people tend to tell you if the are not sure. 2. For answers you need to rely on you ask people who are legally or professionally responsible if they give you wro…
Good that we already have AGI in o3.
One fundamental challenge to me is that if each training run because more and more expensive, the time it takes it to learn what works/doesn't work widens. Half a billion dollars for training a model is already nuts, but if it takes 100 iterations to perfect it, you've cumulatively spent 50 billion dollars... Smaller models may actually be where rapid innovation continues simply because of tighter feedback loops. O3…

We already have agentic systems; they're not particularly impressive (1). There's no specific reason to expect them to get better. Things that will shift the status quo are: MCST-LLMs (like with ARC-AGI) and Much Bigger LLMs (like GPT-5, if they ever turn up) or some completely novel architecture. [1] - It's provable; if just chaining LLMs are a particular size into agentic systems could scale indefinitely, then you…
> It's provable; if just chaining LLMs are a particular size into agentic systems could scale indefinitely, then you could use a 1-param LLM and get AGI. You can't. QED. Perhaps I missunderstand your reply, but that has not been my experience at all. There are 3 types of "agentic" behaviour that has worked for a while for me, and I don't know how else it would work without "agents": 1. Task decomposition - this was m…

Not sure what you are using it for, but it is terrible for me for coding; claude beats it always and hands down. o1 just thinks forever to come up with stuff it already tried the previous time. People say that's just prompting without pointing to real million line+ repositories or realistic apps to show how that can be improved. So I say they are making todo and hello world apps and yes, there it works really well. C…
That so weird, it’s seems like everybody here prefers Claude. I’ve been using Claude and openai in copilot and I find even 4o seems to understand the problem better. O1 definitely seems to get it right more for me.
I’ve found using Claude via Copilot in VS Code produces noticeably lower quality results than 3.5 Sonnet on web. In my experience Claude web outdoes GPT-4o consistently.
I had to come up with a proposal to build a new R&D centre recently. To provide context on what our company does, I wrote a web scraper to scrape our own website (faster than going to IT) using Replit Agent and then fed that into O1 as context to come up with the proposal.
In less than an hour.
There is no going back.
