Hi, I’m Eric and I work at a big chip company making chips and such! I do math for a job, but it’s cold hard stochastic optimization that makes people who know names like Tychonoff and Sylow weep.

My pfp is Hank Azaria in Heat, but you already knew that.

  • Neo-Nazi nutcase having a normal one.

    It’s so great that this isn’t falsifiable in the sense that doomers can keep saying, well “once the model is epsilon smarter, then you’ll be sorry!”, but back in the real world: the model has been downloaded 10 million times at this point. Somehow, the diamanoid bacteria has not killed us all yet. So yes, we have found out the Yud was wrong. The basilisk is haunting my enemies, and she never misses.

    Bonus sneer: “we are going to find out if Yud was right” Hey fuckhead, he suggested nuking data centers to prevent models better than GPT4 from spreading. R1 is better than GPT4, and it doesn’t require a data center to run so if we had acted on Yud’s geopolitical plans for nuclear holocaust, billions would have been for incinerated for absolutely NO REASON. How do you not look at this shit and go, yeah maybe don’t listen to this bozo? I’ve been wrong before, but god damn, dawg, I’ve never been starvingInRadioactiveCratersWrong.













  • It’s just pure grift, they’ve creating an experiment with an outcome that tells us no new information. Even if models stop ‘improving’ today, it’s a static benchmark and by EOY worked solutions will be leaked into the training of any new models, so performance will saturate to 90%. At which point, the Dan and the AI Safety folks at his fake ass not-4-profit can clutch their pearls and claim humanity is obsolete so they need more billionaire funding to save us & Sam and Dario can get more investors to buy them gpus. If anything, I’m hoping the Frontier Math debacle would inoculate us all against this bullshit (at least I think it’s stolen some of the thunder from their benchmark’s attempt to hype the end of days🫠)
