What did you ask it? It’s pretty clear that share of disposable income is more or less flat for handcrafted furniture which is cherry picked.

Yeah how desperate to literally solve a Millenium problem? They sure look stupid now. You’ve caught them!

On looped transformers: previously, conversation might have 50k tokens spent on reasoning. the next turn takes all the previous tokens as well (if you wanna preserve prompt caching) which is not ideal. this new method skips that so you get

there's a popular misconception that AI is so extremely costly that when the world finally comes to terms with it, we will stop using AI and things will die down. i'm sorry to burst your bubble: this won't happen. the inferen

how come productivity increase actually led to increase in quality in almost all cases? internet/digitasion for doctors for example.

what's there to admit? they always said they do it and there's a way to opt out. you are making it sound more dramatic than it is.

Its a simple way to feel superior - to sneer at normal people having fun and using technology.

Why is no one skeptical that the solution is correct? There's not a _single_ comment asking whether this proof is legit or not.

I'm not sure what your points 1 and 2 have to do with anything. Both directionally increase the probability of hyperscalers also finding the solution independently. > Those hyperscalers repeatedly show themselves not to take user pr

why is this downvoted? do people really think OpenAI is snooping at people specifically? like they are looking for good leads into new problems or ideas and they found this guy's codex thread and used it? come on man, even for conspira

The world fortunately works under a system that is durable to these problems. You can actually start a company that doesn't use AI if you think it runs better that way. This argument obviously doesn't work because 1. you would dec

How it reads is that the world has converged on an obviously bad technology. If only you had the chance to control it from top down and you wouldn’t let this mistake happen for you know what’s best for the world. Not only that, it’s double

Prediction: this won’t happen. The abstraction will be good enough and people will need to know only as much as they need to know- things will stabilise at the equilibrium.

No it isn't cheaper, any source for task vs price comparison to Sol? Edit: GPT-6 Astra (low): 57 Intelligence Index, $7.70/M tokens GPT-5.6 Sol (high): 57 Intelligence Index, $3.08/M tokens So for the same measured intelligen

Interesting comment because it is true that Astra is costlier for the same intelligence tasks as Sol. But this is not the same for Fable at all.
