Fair enough. I really like the tarpit analogy, wasn't familiar with it. You can keep pulling your feet out faster than the tar rises, as long as you're willing to keep spending the energy, possibly with diminishing returns over ti

I think we're basically agreeing here. Your point (if I'm reading it right) is that taste and discernment do scale, but the gains come through pretraining/parameter scaling, which is slow and expensive compared to the fast, c

If you're properly bitter-lesson-pilled then why wouldn't better models continue to develop and improve taste and discernment when it comes to design, development, and just better thinking overall?

What if the slowdown isn't a bug but a feature? What if AI tools are forcing developers to think more carefully about their code, making them slower but potentially producing better results? AFAIK the study measured speed, not quality,

The "second year university student" analogy is interesting, but might not fully capture what's unique about LLMs in strategic analysis. Unlike students, LLMs can simultaneously process and synthesize insights from thousands

The paper argues against using LLMs for military strategy, claiming "no textbook contains the right answers" and strategy can't be learned from text alone (the "Virtual Clausewitz" Problem). But this seems to undere

How generalizable are these findings given the rapid pace of AI advancement? The paper studies a snapshot in time with current AI capabilities, but the relationship between human expertise and AI could look very different with more advanced

I imagine it's difficult to be a good teacher and find effective ways to encourage students to rigorously think about things they care about in spite of the discomfort it might cause. I also believe increasingly capable and sophisticat

With more capable models, reliable test time compute, and more sophisticated RAG ( https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-rockset/ ) I genuinely struggle to see meaningful use cases for traditional user interfaces

The biggest hurdle I'm personally struggling with now as a software engineer trying to find the motivation to continue writing code and developing products isn't simply that AI is getting better and better at writing more complex

Relevant to this discussion is the fact that if an LLM can’t come up with that, it wouldn’t be due to the inability to mix and match to form novel ideas, but something else, and that something else hasn’t been clearly articulated yet.

I'm happy to leave the conversation here. I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying, but we appear to be making different points, or at least at different levels of description, and it's not really productive

Human beings are currently capable of productively searching through the space of possible knowledge and experience in ways no current AI systems are. This is not to say AI will never do this, but I think it's fair to say there are thi

It's refreshing to see a science fiction writer underplay the capabilities of AI, but if anyone can speak to the nuances and implications of generative AI on art and writing it's probably someone like Ted Chiang. We can debate his
