Doing magic mushrooms is one of the most important things I ever did, way back in my twenties. Literally changed my perspective on life. It opened my eyes. Or, in the words of Steve Jobs: “Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the mo

Not sure if I agree, I tried GLM5.3 and it was pretty decent. Ok, it's not Opus, but maybe it's Sonnet?

Because they're distilling frontier models and that's a lot faster and cheaper than training a frontier model from scratch?

We're hitting a limit, that's what's happening. I believe the development of new models has been like an s-curve: There were enormous incremental improvements earlier on, but now we're reaching the right-hand side of the

I have issue with the comment because he says he didn't read it, then unfavorably compares it to a previous method, and finally uses that negative review to plug his own article instead. His criticism might be valid, I'm not in a

So, basically you're saying: I have only skimmed the article, similar approaches had issues in the past, and my own method from my forthcoming paper is better. I mean, no disrespect, but that's the core of your argument, yes?

I just checked because I was a bit paranoid, but I have a 96.6% cache hit rate for GPT-5.6 Luna and 96.8% for Opus 5.

That’s the most uninformed view I’ve read about this in a VERY long time. The US / Trump doesn’t even manage to renegotiate a trade agreement with Canada, although you speak the same language and your cultural proximity is about 95% -

> "one of the EU's greatest achievements" And it is! People here are always complaining about the EU as if it's a single state, even though it's very clearly in the process of becoming one. It's a long roa

I know that this is a popular point-of-view in the US, but your states and legislative processes are all very homogeneous in comparison. You guys mostly speak the same language, you have the same cultural touch points, you have a shared his

Did they really just say "genuinely useful" in a post decrying the blind copy-pasting of AI text? (it's a strong Claude indicator)

The most interesting part of your reply is that you're not challenging the claim that the Turing test has been passed. I think it's a given, by now.

by akie 1mo ago
Ok, you and I can easily spot LLM text. So what? The Turing test has still been passed, as is clear by people falling in love with ChatGPT, not believing something is AI, and by continuously claiming this or that is a bot. People, many of t

Chernobyl was basically Russia then. The more honest comparison would be the numerous nuclear power plants in France.

Ohhh that's a very interesting hypothesis. I think you might be right.

I'm also a foreigner in Berlin, and my guess is twofold: 1. Their German isn't good enough, which limits the pool of people you can connect to 2. They only or mostly hang out in the expat-scene, which limits the pool of people you

He's shouting his politics through a megaphone, it doesn't take much to recognize it for what it is.

Maybe it's because he's a fascist?

Yeah I completely agree. But this is much larger model than the 8B one they put on a chip, so that's probably an engineering challenge for now. Also, how expensive would it be?

Which alternative measures do you propose to counter the society destabilising effects I've described in the original comment? Because I believe there are none.
