If removing a few temporary migrants is 'ethnic cleansing', then allowing tens of millions of migrants into a nation against the native population's will is ethnic genocide. And 97% are non-white. Jus

“If there is a deflation of the AI bubble, the optimists say that the new infrastructure will remain even if the companies do not — just as railways survived the 19th-century railway bust. However, th

If you are on the verge of AGI or ASI, why isn’t your model smart enough to recognize espionage distillation in real time? You say “cure cancer in a few years.” Isn’t sniffing illicit distillation qui

If you wanted to do the same in SF, you could start by extending Treasure Island. Obviously the value of that new land would be considerably less than in SF proper. Perhaps 10x less. It would be econo

If your benchmark relies on a static dataset or sampling from a static distribution densely known at training time, then it is fundamentally measuring memorization/retrieval. Which might be fine if yo

Is it just me, or are today's LLMs less likely to default to building everything in React than they were last year? I used to have to say 'don't use React' in almost all of my frontend web dev prompts

It doesn't take much skill to game this out and see where we're going if we keep this up. Kneecap our own companies. Gate everything. Let regulatory capture and fear mongering win. Have our people and

It may be obvious, but a lot of the first reaction to the gains in AI capability is going to be 'just muddling through' rather than executing on a rational plan. (this is what humans always do in rapi

Many companies could build their own Workday or whatever, too, using open source alternatives. They don't do that for a wide variety of reasons. Same dynamics apply in AI, only more so (upgrade cycles
