No one is paying mathematicians to develop a conceptual understanding. If the signal for who is “winning” math in academia disappears mathematicians will have a big problem

Google docs exists as a competitor to microsoft office. Google gives it away free to consumers for the same reason AI labs sell subscriptions for 10% of the price of the api. They hope businesses will switch to what employees know how to us

Completely wrong. CPI is based on the prices of all things people buy. Comparing inflation in one sector to inflation in the whole economy is a very useful signal.

Where did they claim it as their own? Doesn’t the release cite buckmaster and claim their work is a continuation of what he and levent were working on?

Copy pasting ai code from the browser is not perfectly acceptable. The only reason to do it is because you haven’t tried agents. It shows a lack of imagination and a willingness to settle for inferiority.

It bothers me when people have terrible inefficient workflows for no good reason

Isnt the entire history of academic progress iterating on work that other academics shared with you? Obviously this situation is spicy but openAI cited their work no?

The honest answer is that a lot of these academic mathematician types who get hired at ai labs are autist adjacent. Levent is basically the chief example

Nuts that Tao literally predicted the exact strategy openAI seems to have used not even a week ago

All the ai labs are open about training on prompts. The question is if buckmaster had disabled that with the toggle openAI provides.

What makes you say that? You think people like paying professionals to edit their videos? Surely some do, but everyone?

That may all be true, but it was certainly not a hilarious experience. I would say my driving was about on par with average at the time, most drivers aren’t really paying attention. The vast majority of people in my how city are not driving

Because the only force keeping costs down is insurance death panels. One of our problems is that we don’t have enough death panels compared to our peers.

My personal friend worked under bubeck as a grad student and told me he’s abusive.

Yes that sounds like something openAI would do to me. Not that they’re just looking through random professors chats but they heard buckmaster made progress on navier stokes and decided to read his chats.

Those denials are literally the only thing in the entire system keeping costs down

The legal process isn’t a free for all. There’s only so much bullshit they can throw at you before the judge finds them in contempt.

You don’t need to be really good at cpp to write a crappy emulator. All the “really good” stuff is about eeking out performance. If you want to build an emulator start with a qt gui and go from there. By the time you’re done you’ll be good

You have to be looking for a job or employed to be part of the labor force count. Stay at home moms arent in the labor force, neither are students that dont want to work.

The issue is the conspiracy. By pinning the whole problem on a single villain rather than the incentives the larger organization has created he 1. doesnt help solve the problem 2. creates an environment ripe for tribalism. Even if you ignor

Theyll certainly go for something they believe is reliably mildly shitty, yea. LLM translation has largely solved the biggest issue machine translation had which was proper nouns. Its good enough for most business cases now

Most paid translation work is just businesses that want to cover their ass so they don’t get blamed for a wildly shitty Google Translate. LLM translation is good enough for that. They’re not looking for art.

The most sickening part of this is that it isn’t actually broken, it’s working exactly how Spotify wants. Spotify thinks we are so stupid we actually want their janky “shuffle” that doesn’t work properly.
