Incredible work. I am just learning about PyBoy from your project, and it made me think of many fun ways to use that library to play Pokemon autonomously.

Wow-- this is so cool. Maybe someone can fix that MissingNo glitch I kept running into as a kid? ;)

Wow-- props to Professor Hayes. This guy is a role model for researchers!

Well, those three people have billions of dollars between them. So they count for something.

Agreed. The more unique situations I program in, whether it is new people I am building software for or whether I am building on a new tech stack, the more I realize why so many packages and solutions exist in pip and npm. Coding new soluti

If anyone here has an issue with their Claude Desktop app seeing the new MCP tools you've added to your computer, restart it fully. Restarting the Claude Desktop app did NOT work for me, I had to do a full OS restart.

I am not sure how these large companies think they will reach "greater-than-human" intelligence any time soon if they do not create systems that financially incentivize people to sell their knowledge labor (unstable contracting gi

I think it is reasonable to believe humans will use all three technologies as a means to an end. I think the user you replied to was more concerned about that, from my understanding.

I think Jake Sullivan's protectionist philosophy is super old school. I'm not a huge fan since it's just more Cold War-era policies coming out of Biden's cabinet. I'm speaking about the policies of lawmakers only an

Is the border an actual problem though? Specifically speaking to the US border. Is migration the number one problem that Americans struggle with? Or even in the top ten concerns, your average American holds? I have not had a single issue wi

Good point. Maybe the hosts are assuming mathematicians and other folks will benefit from LLMs or the o1 OpenAI model? Kind of like raising the bar based on the technology available to the participants.

Should Claude users interpret this as a prelude to a new release? Or is their post clarifying the responsible scaling policy and trying to intrigue folks who might fit Anthropic well, career-wise?

What happens to the unhealthy Americans? What happens to the Americans who are too poor they cannot pay health insurance and the cost of medicine/surgery. I think only the wealthiest Americans have much more money in their bank account

Honestly, it's disgusting. Have these people even read the white papers that Google releases? They are mostly marketing pieces. When systems and technologies are not publicly reproducible, why should scientists and (most) engineers car

Are experts helping kids use ChatGPT as a tool to learn? Or are we giving kids powerful tools with little instruction? I have a feeling that is an unintentional #2 that dominates reality.

Why can't the MMO with a town of NPCs have an intelligence agency too?

What about the people, in Russia, right now, that are actively creating culture? Parties in control of a government are not the people of that country, they are only a small subset of the people from that country. Unfortunately, some partie

Hmm, I think you are correct, and from my perspective, speaking to the idea of human heuristics and biases. Ironically, I think societies and cultures need long periods of peace (not in an extreme sense, but rather enough peace to allow for

I think diplomacy itself can help gear a country to defend itself by creating powerful allies who will come in a time of need. At the same time, I do not think there is any justification for war or harming others non-defensively. The amount

There is a little-known actor... oh what was his name again? Oh yeah, Martin Sheen-- He narrated a documentary covering the effects of a tribe being downwind from a nuclear testing area. So perhaps there is some understandable concern about

Rest in peace, Jake. His blog post recently was moving and eye-opening. If you are in the headspace for tough topics, read it and you won't regret it.

I almost commented the same thing. Framing things as "good/bad/so-so" is kind of moving the target. If we are focusing on who might use the model, rather than considering that when focusing on a model that accurately rep

It seems like some folks in this thread are conflating globalization with ultra-powerful organizations using their capital and influence to spread to the rest of the world. Other countries are simply untapped resources in their eyes. More f

I think the word gentrify makes a lot more sense, good point. I think mixing human cultures can be very complex (human social culture is certainly some form of a complex system) and you're correct that it can cause a lot of change and

Do you think traveling to Japan would slow its globalization? Do you think Japan is not globalized already? I am curious why you think that globalization would hurt Japan (you used the word: ruined).

Books, especially textbooks, would be amazing. These things can get pretty huge (1000+ pages) and usually do not fit into GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet 3.5 in my experience. I envision the models being able to help a user (student) create their s

Couldn't it output "use a symbolic math library in Python to get an exact solution to pi" and technically be correct?
