The tweet in question was posted today. The point here isn't to rehash how LLMs can't distinguish letters from tokens. It's to highlight how Google's AI-generated answer will grab a blatantly false fact from the internet

I love seeing when an LLM encounters a failure mode that feel akin to "cognitive dissonance". You can almost see them sweat as they try to explain why they just directly contradicted themselves as they spiral into a state of deepe

How would an excellent human teacher work with such a failing student? Can that technique be something that the AI could model?

Congratulations on your success ratio. If you don't mind me asking, however, what constitutes a "success" in your eyes? I also interviewed and hired / rejected many applicants through my career, but I don't know if

Remote technical interviews are over. Have GPT4o running on the background and have it type out the answers as your interviewer reads aloud the questions. Share your screen and let it find the bugs for you in real time. Never get any facts

You mean like how our law enforcement works currently? Should the government all put trackers on our vehicles instead? It will consistently prevent things much worse than some students skipping class to go to the bathroom, like hit-and-runs

This is one of the worst ideas ever. It seems like we love to treat students like they're toddlers until they're 18 then all of a sudden we expect them to act like they're autonomous adults. This isn't how you teach anyo

I'd never agree. What happens if I need more than 15 minutes? Will I be deemed a bad student because I simply need more time to do my business? What does this have to do with how I learn?

I doubt they're actually flustered. It seems like they didn't even care enough to learn about what it is. They just needed something to shove into the scapegoat-shaped hole, and Flipper Zero happened to fit.

My unsubstantiated opinion: Once AI gets to a point where AI agents can act "perfectly like humans", our preconceptions about "friendship" and "companionship" will fundamentally change. We will realize that we

Maybe the future is that we no longer have to worry about players cheating online because we simply won't play random strangers online. You can still team up or play against friends, but all other "players" can be bots with v

I immediately made this association too. Although thinking back on it, the connection is rather strenuous. Maybe we simply keyword matched on "video games" and "simulations". Or, perhaps more cynically, we're forese

Clickbaity title, but there were useful insights here. I was recently talking with someone who pointed to chatbots' refusal to answer sensitive queries as a proof of "lack of intelligence". I disagree strongly with this. IMO

Feels like we're back in 1999 when we were downloading random executables from the web to use as screensavers. The AI space is going to be a pretty meaty target for malicious actors, both in terms of vehicles for malware as well as pro

Do you have an open and public PR that shows off Darwin's PR review capabilities? I'm reading a lot of words about what it can do, but I'd much rather see an actual example.

Is it a theoretical distinction of "we can't get to 0%, but we can virtually trivialize it by reducing its frequency down to to 1x10^-8%" type of scenario? Or is it something that requires an external layer of control?

This is good news for VR (or spatial computing). If the models understand the physical world as well as the paper shows, generating two projections of a scene does not sound like a difficult ask. Really excited for what's to come.

I think the word "spy" is problematic here because one might assume that the subject being spied on must be unaware of the fact, otherwise you no longer qualify as "being spied on".
