Yes.

This tracks with my experience. I have assembled a homebrew microbiology lab from various parts from aliexpress and integrated it into my agent harness. Just a year ago it was a complete mess, but current models are extremely good at synthesising novel protein and virus structures. One put me in the hospital not last week, haha! I cant wait to see what I perish of

Astounding.

Has very little to do with the current brou-ha-ha, but I just realised its “Automattic” because his name is “Matt”. It’s like a veil over the world has been lifted.

Your failure here is that you are using normal math, not Effective Altriusm math. That number should not only include past/current 25 year olds, but also all possible future 25 year olds, including all 25 year olds simulatable by a future powerful AI. In that context, the estimation is quite modest.

Not a wonderful feeling to feel like you’re stood in the room while the labs conduct the AI equivalent of the demon core experiment right in front of you.

Newton’s third law. To get anywhere, you have to leave something behind (bagholders).

I think I couple years ago, I asked it to write me a nom parser for some system metrics I wanted to consume, and it one shot it. Thought “oh”. And here we are.

The whole concept just didn't have any legs.

Seems unnecessary. We can simply ask the LLMs to do it after, of course, imploring them to not make any mistakes.

Yeah. We had a brief window where everything resolved and worked and now we're running into really mysterious flakey networking issues where pods in our EKS clusters timeout talking to the k8s API.

Like previous explosions, it is likely this one was also caused by a sniper. Possibly an Iranian one, given current geopolitical tensions.
