PSA: one of the most common rhetorical techniques in tech is to start with something very plausible (increase in capex to 4t) and go to something that has almost zero chance (doubling GDP in less than

We need a name for the kind of people that conflate 2022 pure LLMs that were in fact a tiny bit like stochastic parrots (not my phrase, and not one I ever endorsed) with 2026 systems that couple those

since many people are asking me about the new math results from OpenAI, here is my take. 1. It uses symbolic AI (Lean, etc) in addition to LLMs which is what i said for years we would need to do; this
The real news here isn’t the result; it’s what we were not told. 1. AI once tried to be a science. Now we get stuff like the completely vague report from OpenAI below, and a lot of ignorant questions

So let me get this straight, now we have to call every piece of AI SI, even • ELIZA, 1965 which was just keyword matching and certainly not super or intelligent • Deep Blue, which could play chess but
AI is absolutely not going to double humanity’s GDP by the early 2030s. Why do we platform these crazy claims that never come true? Anthropic's Sholto Douglas says AI capex could rise from 1 trillion

Kudos to Pope Leo. I am disturbed by how some of my fellow AI researchers keep trying to elevate the moral standing of checkpoints and harnesses. I hope the rest of us on Team Meatbag reject this move

“I dislike the passive vibe from OpenAI and the other companies that the breakneck pace of progress is simply happening to them, rather than an active choice they are deliberately making.” Good essay.
