I’m not entirely sure.
A non-probabilistic algorithm, probably. Something that didn’t rely on the liklihood of association, and instead was capable of context and rationality.
Something that wouldn’t have a system capable of saying “Put glue on your pizza” because it would know that’s a silly thing to say to a human. A system that, when asked "Whats a good caustic detergent " wouldn’t be able to respond "Any good caustic detergent is a good caustic detergent " because duh. Something that doesn’t require thousands of hours of training to update and instead is capable of ingesting and rationalize new information on the fly.

I’m not convinced that it’s anywhere near an AGI, I’m convinced after combing through papers and code, that it’s an amazing parlor trick.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but everything I’ve seen and everything I’ve used in my studies ( using DNN to simulate neurodivergence and spinal disgenesis, which is kinda AI adjacent) leads me to believe that the current part won’t lead to anything but convincing parlor tricks.

The argument could be made that if a trick is convincing enough, does it matter if it’s intelligent or not.

o3 made the high score on ARC through brute force, not by being good. To raise the score from 75% to 87% required 175 times more computing power, but exactly stunning returns.

GW2 is the first MMO i out over 2k hours into. It’s a shame that the last few years have felt pretty meh. I haven’t been playing seriously since PoF, life got busy, and the narrative just wasn’t hitting with me. Also the desert maps weren’t that great imo. I guess i have more problems than I expected with it.

I could agree with this if there was a movement to produce domestically, then tariff imports. What I’m seeing is a tariff in an effort to drive domestic production and I just don’t see that environment being a good investment without significant government subsidies.

The US wanted more Silicon foundries so they’re dolling out big bucks to make it happen, once you’re producing domestically, you tariff similar imports to drive sales of local goods.

I mean, I’m not an expert in macroeconomics by any means, so it’s possible that I’m way off and the tariffs of cheap imports will start to drive multinational conglomerates to take a hit on cash flow and invest in domestic production. That’s a big leap of faith to take when you have a hungry nation though.

This semester i took a basic database course, and the prof mentioned that LLMs are useful for basic queries. A few weeks later, we had a no-computer closed book paper quiz, and he was like “You can’t use GPT for everything guys!”.

Turns out a huge chunk of the class was relying on gpt for everything.

Real talk though, I’m seeing more and more of my peers in university ask AI first, then spending time debugging code they don’t understand.

I’ve yet to have chat gpt or copilot solve an actual problem for me. Simple, simple things are good, but any problem solving i find them more effort than just doing the thing.

I asked for instructions on making a KDE Widget to get weather canada information, and it sent me an api that doesn’t exist and python packages that don’t exist. By the time I fixed the instructions, very little of the original output remained.

Right now? The remaster of Soul Reaver 1/2. Now i just need someone to do the rest of the series.

Quebec =/=Utah.

After my mom died, my dad sold her China to her friend for a nickel. Which is great, because I would have just taken it to the VV Boutique and donated it.

I kind of miss some of the things my mom had around the house my whole life, but also I’d I kept it all, there wouldn’t be room for my stuff. And I’m not putting Trypticon in a box so I can display some Franklin Mint goose plate.

You’re right, but you shouldn’t have said this out loud.

This was one event that never needs to be reenacted for film, because the original is perfect.

When I’m in the passenger seat, I push on the imaginary brake. When I’m watching someone on a computer, I’m pushing shortcuts on the imaginary keyboard.

I was having a conversation with a friend about this. At some point, the bill is going to come . It’s free, or cheap, to use everyone’s generators, but the bill will come soon. Just like Spotify, Netflix, Prime, etc. The price they’re charging now is just to ensure you get hooked and rely on it before they stay hiking to stay profitable.

That’s not to say anything about LLM collapse, or the economic cost of training new models for 10% improvements.

That’s basically what I was told. It worked, I explained the algorithm I was having trouble with, and that I just ran out of time. He didn’t deduct any marks or anything, he just said I should make an effort to make comments less self-deprecating.

My professor once asked me about a comment that said "// This is awful and you should feel awful, change this before handing it in. " I had no excuse, I just told him time makes fools of us all.

As someone with buck teeth, I see no issue.

This is my fear. Gabe won’t last forever, and I don’t know anyone else who has a customer centric approach as he does. Maybe that guy from Costco who threatened to kill someone over the hot dog price.

Yes. Go buy a new computer.

Then give me your old computer so I can put linux on it and distribute it for free to students and immigrants.

Ok fair enough, but I’m under the impression these files existed before the source control was implemented.

I guess it’s all up to how the program handles existing files.
