I think they'll keep the gaming market alive for a while because renting gaming hardware from the cloud (GeForce NOW) is very congruous with AI keeping consumer hardware prices sky-high. It continues modern trend of chow companies don&

Perhaps these Fields Medalists are coping that OpenAI made them look stupid, as you suggested. And perhaps you're coping because of some personal grudge you have against academia.

My employer would be rightfully outraged if I commented publicly on a sensitive, nuanced, and controversial issue like this based on my second-hand understanding of the matter.

I think the main risk is that if you - or your kids, or your spouse, or a guest, or someone you give/sell the TV to - do connect the TV to the Internet for even a moment years from now, then all those logs you wanted to keep away from

There's a decent amount of third-party interactions that seems like solid evidence that it really happened. They're taking credit for people complaining about the spam on HN: https://www.bottlenecklabs.com/blog&#x2

I feel like I'm completely missing something with ARC-AGI. The tasks are so limited in scale and very black and white, which do not at all map to real-life challenges. I do think it's impressive that LLMs can reliably solve them,

A lot of the early tasks posted to Mechanical Turk by Amazon to get people using their new platform were easily automated. You could basically choose the "none of the above" option 100% of the time and end up with a quality score

The scary thing is that 81% of AI users in this study were determined to be "outsourcing" their homework to the LLMs - and the rate increases the more exposure they had to LLMs. The "slightly higher" performance is based

When I was a kid in the 90s, my grandparents never wanted to get cable television, despite watching a lot of local broadcasts. Their children (and grandchildren) thought they would truly enjoy it: more live sports, history documentaries, an

Distillation is one of the most unique and interesting aspects of this. But otherwise, if a company gives something valuable for creating an account on their platform, expect that people will automate the creation of millions of accounts. I

At first I thought "building a 515-page dossier" was needlessly hyperbolic for what amounts to a printed PDF of typical CRM values from a database. It's not like a McDonald's detective meticulously crafted it. However,

I prefer open models. But in his essay, Zuckerberg's broader picture of the future is not one I want to embrace: everyone with a personal agent that has information on and involvement with every aspect of our lives, including our relat

I don't think you can make an informed assessment of the 40 minute interview based on the first 30 seconds of an out-of-context preview clip. I think there good reasons to criticize some of his arguments, but you have to at least make

Iran doesn't need to cause mass casualties. They just need to make US citizens hate the war in Iran.

That NFT entry leads to a 404, and even if you Google the one quote they provide from it ("You do not understand NFTs yet, but you will"), the only reference to it is the "Billion Dollar PDFs" site.

Every study that suggests viability of SSRIs to treat or prevent Long COVID presents plausible mechanisms for why they might have that effect. And none of them are "the patients are probably just sad and faking it."
