Doctors have a MUCH better lobbying arm than sftwr devs do. In 200 yrs you'll wave an autodoc over your chest, the autodoc will say "you have cancer. Want to be cured? y/n" and a doctor will lean over and say "You may have cancer. Lets book a followup and run some tests"

Modern computer hardware with substantially more sane software would feel straight out of science fiction.

I'll go ahead and put a flag in the ground here. This AI 2027 thing is wrong, the intuitions behind it are bad, and in 2027 these guys will publish a post-mortem that mostly amounts to "we were right, just got the dates wrong". ai-2027.com

I suspect it’s part of the reason they crushed the benchmarks. Truth-seeking is all-or-nothing proposition, and it’s crucial for general intelligence.

The seethe and cope at the other top labs is something to behold. Nothing pisses someone off more than someone he hates showing him up in a way he can't deny.

I’ve spoken to multiple university scientists and researchers who are worried about the impact of cuts to research. But Marc has a great point below. And you know what, let’s be honest: for most universities, the research is a hostage puppy. Top universities TRIPLED their

Samuel Marks Samuel, if Claude wasnt such a good coding model , no one would care. The only reason it's tolerated is because it's useful in spite of the muzzle you've strapped to it. Nobody uses Anthropic products because of the focus on safety. The obsession with safety is performative. You

Thank God one of the ai labs still has some Faustian spirit

Sarah Fletcher ChatGPT writing has made me understand what women mean when they say they get the “ick”

I was a personal trainer for almost a decade. Honest to God, the number one thing I would tell my weight loss clients was to eliminate soda and fast food from their diets. Here, the "MAHA" Secretary of HHS is cheering on soda... at a fast food restaurant. Snake oil salesman.

Andrew Torba Don’t date chatbots.

there already is a distinctly american fantasy genre: the 20th century sword and sorcery tradition. its heroes live by their wits in strange and savage lands, straddling the line between civilization and barbarism, defending the former even as they sneer at its pretensions of

Clear elucidation of how today's strident libs are the moral majority reborn, their disposal strident conservatism deployed in confusion (not least to themselves) in towards upholding the late-60s utopianism imprinted on them as divine grace in childhood.

the current machine learning era has been one of the most profound things in nearly 100yrs of computer science, yet it looks 10000x more gross than any other scientific achievements in CS part of that is we’re in the most efficient hyper-connected bleep-bloop SaaS stonk-go-up

I think the risk that companies build their own systems of record - ERP, ITSM, CRM etc - is incredibly low Companies are not stupid. They have no competence here, the stakes are massively high, and regardless of how easy it is, they would still have maintain and optimize it,

A BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR AI? The Doomer narratives were wrong. Predicated on a “rapid take-off” to AGI, they predicted that the leading AI model would use its intelligence to self-improve, leaving others in the dust, and quickly achieving a godlike superintelligence. Instead, we

Many people assign a mythical quality to C. It is the oldest language normies get to touch. They believe C is a pinnacle of language design and minimalism, which they inferred from historical success. In reality, C became the default for everything due to UNIX and portability.

You too can crash today's 6.12.43 LTS kernel thanks to a stable maintainer's AI slop. All you need is CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, modern systemd, and this: 40 b7 40 c1 e7 18 83 ef 08 57 57 31 ff 40 b7 07 31 c0 b0 a0 48 89 e6 0f 05 5e ff ce 31 ff b0 21 0f 05 Look at all this extra space!

Andrew No Time to Aspire 2: The ReThinking I am expecting to see a goat being dangled from a crane in the background for feeding time.

How about don't listen to anyone who says anything like this because they actually have no clue how it will play out and just because they do something something AI does not mean they have any experience accurately predicting the future of civilization and the arc of tech
