Incredible work. I am just learning about PyBoy from your project, and it made me think of many fun ways to use that library to play Pokemon autonomously.

Wow-- this is so cool. Maybe someone can fix that MissingNo glitch I kept running into as a kid? ;)

Wow-- props to Professor Hayes. This guy is a role model for researchers!

Well, those three people have billions of dollars between them. So they count for something.

Agreed. The more unique situations I program in, whether it is new people I am building software for or whether I am building on a new tech stack, the more I realize why so many packages and solutions exist in pip and npm.

Coding new solutions in new ways has helped me learn so much. Getting a career that supports that was one of the biggest catalysts for me (unsurprisingly), however, attempting to code anything is certainly beneficial.

If anyone here has an issue with their Claude Desktop app seeing the new MCP tools you've added to your computer, restart it fully. Restarting the Claude Desktop app did NOT work for me, I had to do a full OS restart.

I am not sure how these large companies think they will reach "greater-than-human" intelligence any time soon if they do not create systems that financially incentivize people to sell their knowledge labor (unstable contracting gigs are not attractive).

Where do these large "AI" companies think the mass amounts of data used to train these models come from? People! The most powerful and compact complex systems in existence, IMO.

I think it is reasonable to believe humans will use all three technologies as a means to an end. I think the user you replied to was more concerned about that, from my understanding.

I think Jake Sullivan's protectionist philosophy is super old school. I'm not a huge fan since it's just more Cold War-era policies coming out of Biden's cabinet. I'm speaking about the policies of lawmakers only and not the politics.

Is the border an actual problem though? Specifically speaking to the US border.

Is migration the number one problem that Americans struggle with? Or even in the top ten concerns, your average American holds?

I have not had a single issue with migration or an immigrant, ever. I've never met a single person, in the US, with a material issue related to migration or immigration. I have never felt worried about being near a migrant/immigrant based on who they are or their behavior.

Good point. Maybe the hosts are assuming mathematicians and other folks will benefit from LLMs or the o1 OpenAI model? Kind of like raising the bar based on the technology available to the participants.

Should Claude users interpret this as a prelude to a new release? Or is their post clarifying the responsible scaling policy and trying to intrigue folks who might fit Anthropic well, career-wise?

What happens to the unhealthy Americans? What happens to the Americans who are too poor they cannot pay health insurance and the cost of medicine/surgery. I think only the wealthiest Americans have much more money in their bank accounts than they would in Europe.

Honestly, it's disgusting.

Have these people even read the white papers that Google releases? They are mostly marketing pieces.

When systems and technologies are not publicly reproducible, why should scientists and (most) engineers care? I will not take Google at its word and would not recommend it to others.

Are experts helping kids use ChatGPT as a tool to learn? Or are we giving kids powerful tools with little instruction?

I have a feeling that is an unintentional #2 that dominates reality.
