I do not like this at all. At best, we find that there are classes of problems that even AI cannot help much in solving, in the sense that the rationals are an infinitesimally small part of the reals. At worst, a fundamental result trivializes a problem whose complexity is a key component of a critical system, and there’s societal upheaval. If PhDs ran the government, and thought the latter, we might have already seen military attacks on data centers.

Amen, our fast food deliveries should only be made by humans with questionable immigration status in leased Priuses, and then only so efficiently that they forego bathroom breaks

Exactly. At least in my part of the world (hardware) we are hiring more software folks these days and fewer pure hardware

Any time you want to glue two systems together, an LLM will default to some kind of markdown or script to facilitate the work

I didn’t read but I’d also like to point out photonics are 1000x larger than leading edge electronics with minimal path to scaling smaller. I don’t see a free lunch

One nuance I don’t see expressed in TFP is that lobbyists are also knowledge experts, and their input can guide legislation positively. Sometimes, this expertise is too expensive for the government to otherwise obtain.

It’s a dog whistle. Plenty of political zealots coin their own idiosyncratic terms to affirm loyalty.

My two theories:

1. The original player base of these games is starting to hit retirement

2. AI has made it more profitable to develop a reasonable pace of content for these games

To answer the author’s question of why Chinese labs give away their work for less than cost, the answer is involution. China is struggling with overcompetition in other areas of its economy as well, such as electric cars, and perhaps ironically its labor share of income is substantially lower than the U.S.

Addictions spontaneously can turn on. For me, it was age 27. To classify people as inherently susceptible vs not is not accurate

On the other hand, I'm horrified at the thought of zero marginal cost legal work given the strain of the current workload on courts.
