..and the name of the lobby group that prepared it for the intern.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it further. This is a topic that keeps me up thinking about, not because a fundamental randomness is distasteful, but because it doesn't seem to match with what we see, and I'm wondering if we are getting caught up in describing laboratory/pure math isolated states rather than what actually occurs in nature.

In reality the entangled particle will interact with something almost instantly thus collapsing it. The cat is actually dead or alive from the perspective of the microscopic things in the box. A world never witnessed or measured by a being doesn't collapse it's entire history of interactions of every subatomic particle, atom, molecule and emergent property from the start of the universe to 'now' instantaneously upon being viewed. The photons from that world have been hitting earth continuously since earth existed after all.

Plus the subagent's work is often subpar and the parent ends up requesting multiple revisions. Each back and forth burn unnecessary tokens as well as my time.

Where it might work well is for separate task categories like image generation - get the parent to ask for an image from another model that is better at this aspect

So the decision shared with each other at sub-lightspeed prior to measurement is actually the hidden variable everyone is getting hung up on? If this is correct then the superposition is just the cat in the box, and 'superposition' is just that the state is unknown until measured?

I don't think that's correct? Alice knows immediately what Bob's result is going to be as soon as she measure's it. The travel faster than light part that many people (including Einstein) take/took issue with includes this as an effect. More generally put is that if spin is in a superposition until measurement collapses it into a known quantity, then the result of the collapse itself is somehow propagated to the other entangled particle instantaneously.

In a lot of sci-fi games an upgrade path for ship/cybernetic hardware is to replace the 'AI chip'. If the models performance ever start to plateau I can't wait to see AI models being baked into the chip itself.

In terms of value as an income, then for a consultant this is most likely true - for staff working in a megacorp not so much.

I can't put a fork in the fox,.it's wrapped in a sheet by the beach beyond the dam.

Yeah, after I posted that I wondered whether someone would just focus on that word. You didn't just do that though, you went scorched earth - I meant no offense and sympathize with everyone affected by changes, I'm a developer and learning to embrace the change after a strong bout of existential crisis.

Mathematicians might just be experiencing the first phases of the cycle of acceptance - resistance and anger, next is depression then eventually embracing it. Software developers as a whole are a bit further along the cycle.

appreciate the humor in the meme, but I did become curious about what the latest models would actually produce, and interestingly after asking for 10,000 numbers between 1 and 10, the distribution was a hilly landscape with low hills on odd values and 7 the highest...

At the end of the page is this paragraph:

Another, more subtle justification for the Butlerian Jihad is also found in Frank Herbert's original novels, specifically Heidegger's thesis that the use of technology trains humans to think like machines. The problem is that machines are deterministic; thus, training people to be machines is self-limiting.

I wonder whether Heidegger would consider the probabilistic nature of LLMs as having a positive effect on human thought.

I'd like that to be true, but many software service startups were stitching together node packages and selling the result long before LLMs became useful.

Can we explore the digging holes analogy a bit more?

Digging by hand with a shovel involves

1. Assessing the terrain and checking any documented or obvious obstacles (subsurface water, gas, electricity etc)

2. Planning the approach to digging the hole, most efficient angle, and ensuring that collapse doesn't occur

3. Organising disposal

4. Digging the hole

5. Dealing with any unforeseen issues (old tree roots, old foundations etc)

This is exactly the same whether digging by hand or using an excavator. The excavator isn't automating stages 1, 2, 3, or 5. It's just speeding up the 4th stage and only if there aren't stage 5 issues present.

LLMs when employed in a manner on the extreme end of the vibe coding spectrum are automating every stage of the process. If the excavator was hooked up to an LLM and left to run all stages of digging (extreme vibe digging?), I'd argue that yes, the operator is becoming lazy, and is running a very dangerous operation.
