Except in the case of nuclear weapons, humans have their hands on the launch codes, and the nukes are not going to launch themselves. In the case of extremely capable AI, nobody has their hands anywhere close, because nobody is able to – no

The number of implementations and the lack of success suggest that it is a genuinely hard problem for humans, and "agents" are not going to magically make it simpler. Unlikely that humans abandoned their projects (or failed to ban

It sounds like AA scraping Spotify was an unnecessarily risky move in terms of legal consequences and the toes they step on (who might be behind the downtimes). And it's not even fully in line with their aim of cataloging all the books

How on earth are they able to cash in on that? Surely they are not ordering neither air fryers nor their servers from Amazon.. Or anything for that matter, given the illegality of AA. Do they resell them at 90% on eBay?

Sorry I'm out of the loop: how did Spotify use AA or other pirated data?

But you're in the air fryer production business, not in the food video production biz (which is really saturated). So you likely don't have the skills to launch a food porn channel organically, so you have to pay a youtuber, which

To roll with this idea: soon the credits will include more names like Sol and Opus 5 and various pointy-haired bosses than names like Mike Little. That's not very encouraging either.

And similarly, humans are not Turing-complete either: none of us can even in theory sit down and store a trillion bits of information in their mind (or paper, whatever) without loss and without a computer. So Turing-completeness is not even

This is the difference between efficiency (that the author is aiming for) and effectiveness (that Bob has – solving the right problem and only that problem). The two are not measured on the same axis: while Bob could have become maybe 20%

With a population of 12M and life expectancy of 80 years (give or take), probably not, as that needs ~400 newborns a day to maintain, and the birth rate is probably well below that, like in most Western countries.

> without which, these discoveries do not help much at advancing the field, At least the fact that frontier models are not optimized primarily on formal math reasoning is in itself is good for not putting mathematicians out of their jobs

The event in this case is a daily observation, so in the last 45 years there have been 16k events. Under Gaussian assumption, 3.5 sigma outliers in positive direction are 1 in ~4,000 events, in either direction 1 in ~2,000, so approx. 8 day

For completeness, the person who adjusted the thermostat in this case was also hired to get stuff done, and the front door was left unlocked. They still shouldn't have done it, but they were effective.

As the author mentions Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, let me point out that the (very pretty) edition by Macmillan Collectors' Library is a very poor translation, and the more mundane-looking one from Pelican Classics is an excellent one

Yes, it and the other three posts sound positively AI written. The first post on the blog is how OP uploaded a backdoored dataset to HuggingFace and left it there for 6 months – whether made up or not, it doesn't sound great.
