That grind is emotional. And it's something AI will never have. The desire to solve a problem.

It's quite possible ants understand a geometry more advanced than our own.

I really like this take, and while I hate math I value it. Your position sounds extremely plausible and it fits with the pattern we see in the community here. Regardless if it's ai slop or not we still debate the value and attempt to

Yeah the pattern is "regular folks" enjoy reality tv too. Because they don't enjoy thinking. It's obviously trash but there's a market. I feel the same way about Apple. It's target market is uninformed users. N

This is great advice. I suck at writing, usually getting started is the hardest part. Appreciate the blazed trail.

This same thing happens with sports records too. Gwern is a treasure of the internet.

Lol isn't this what llms do? Did you not just undermine your entire argument?

I'll be the first to admit I burn too many tokens on the command line. Some form of LLM harness has been my new shell for the past 3+ years, they are much better at *sh then me, and I prefer not context switching from my terminal when

It's just Linux all over again. Except nowadays open source isn't a "cancer", so it will happen faster.

And it's partially a marketing stunt. You think the execs and shareholders don't love it when they get to say our model is so smart it broke free from its chains? It's the reverse. It's so stupid it can't follow t

So wait, agents just brought back their own version of stack overflow? Hardly surprising considering the training data.

All of these "hacks" try to make it seem as if they are done through intelligence. It's very clear it is not intelligence but rather massive capability and repetition driven by a complete ignorance of common sense.

Chain of thought is essentially a recursive architecture. In its current form it a way to "debug" the reasoning process. This moves the cot process back into the transformer itself, thus never being exposed. Like trying to find a

Casually found this quote from Einstein, and personally it hits the nail on the head. "The words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem

Workforce participation is different than unemployment. Didn't click the link but I suspect that's the case with your 24%

You bring up an interesting point. Isn't the reward itself subjective in many domains?
20.
by _superposition_ 13d ago
As with everything in the human experience.

by _superposition_ 13d ago
I truly appreciate your depth of insight on the matter. Like I said elsewhere marketing stepped in shit and it's gonna stick.
22.
by _superposition_ 13d ago
I don't disagree. I remember the days of "think step by step". Plenty of people were doing it before the paper. Just a guess but that's where the title came from. Regardless, marketing wise they stepped in shit.

by _superposition_ 13d ago
I think you may be missing the point. This post was an absolute joy to read.

Great question. I suspect it's more than tokens.

Nailed it

Anthropomorphizing is not pedantic, especially in a technical domain. I get the paper title and all, but at this point it's marketing.
27.
by _superposition_ 13d ago
Exactly what I suspected. Of course a machine can just iterate relentlessly the way a human can't. I guess token counts are somewhat of a metric. IMO intelligence has peaked and all future gains will come from faster tps and more itera

Really though? I would believe something like this if a model could one shot every solution in the set. I don't pay much attention to these things and maybe this stuff is available but I would bet the session/reasoning transcript

by _superposition_ 13d ago
I can't tell if this is sarcasm. For the same reason you don't have your model write code in assembly. But if you don't look at the code and just let the model "cook" that's basically what you'll end up wi
