We need to understand why they want this (and the other nonsense), both as a party and as individuals. It'll likely be 'chase the money', but logical argument won't cut it, we need to be better informed so we can't fight it all more effectively.

Pep765... Nice.

Ah, young Geralt is adorable!

Oh, do let us know how you find it. :)

I’m looking forward to the day when an LLM, out of sheer frustration, tells a "vibes coder" that "the code works on my machine" and that it’s a skill problem. That day, be afraid, very afraid, of the machines 😳

Offs. Anthropic at its best. #rollseyes

I wrote a slightly longer response to the NS piece on my substack. You can read it here: dysfunctionalprogramming.substack.com/p/some-comme...

Sorry also: Sooo good to hear the notion of AGI dissected and largely binned, instead of just uncritically accepted. And for that matter, the same with the idea that mere scaling up of LLMs will get you "there" (wherever "there" is supposed to be.)

First, Turing's paper was rather inconsistent and illogical. But no big deal, he was just having fun. (Turing, contrary to common legend, was extremely playful.) The Test was never meant as some kind of benchmark for AI, and it's absurd that that's what it became. /2

Haha this! 💯

@science.org just dropped a story covering this preprint! Check it out below, and thanks to @cathleenogrady.bsky.social for the great write-up! www.science.org/content/arti...

Short article covering the psychometrics and LLMs work we published a few months back. Hopefully, more readable (i.e. less maths!) :)

In a similar vein, AI doomers worry me, they seem to think that if we were able to create a super intelligence it would kill us all (wipe us out like bugs) Can't help thinking (possibly hoping) it would be better than that, but more worryingly the doomers are just reflecting their own values. :(

Do you think perhaps there's something the human brain/our psychology can't handle about being so rich? Do we need an element of insecurity to, well, literally stay sane?

This is utterly terrifying!

MIT researchers unveil Generative Minds, a framework to improve how large language models simulate social behavior. By emphasizing cognitively grounded reasoning and belief traceability, they aim for reliable simulations that authentically capture human thought. https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.06958

Usual dubious suspects. #rollseyes

That's it, I'm Turing complete!

It's been an interesting couple of years, and I'm glad I had the opportunity, but it's definitely time to move on...

Missed this one over the summer. “When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer…This gap between perception and reality is striking…even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.”

lol. lmao even
