Sometimes I have thoughts like this, but then I get on the subway and watch everyone around me endlessly scroll Instagram while their brains melt out their ears, and then I decide that I was the one who was out of touch.

Recognizing that AI systems have increasing levels of agency is not necessarily personification. The analogy to a chisel is not a good one - a chisel is a tool with no agency.

AI agents are black box systems that can behave in completely unpredictable ways sometimes. Someone may prompt an agent to perform a seemingly straightforward task - but it may come up with a creative, bizarre, or even harmful approach to reach the goal that was not necessarily foreseeable by the prompter.

I think "something that happened 20M years ago" is still wrong. One of the consequences of special relativity is there is no such thing as "simultaneous" events very far apart. In other words, if we went back 20M years on Earth we could not meaningfully say the black hole event is happening "right now".

Could we develop new ways to develop understanding and explore new ideas, such as interacting with the models to explain and understand their proofs, as well as to brainstorm related directions to pursue?

This is such an infuriating narrative. As if the top AI researchers in the world couldn't detect and mitigate a major problem with the distribution of their training data and the performance of their models with basic techniques.

There is a TCEC category for 4k engines. The top ones are ~3000 Elo.

That's pretty obnoxious.

Have you compared the versions of Stockfish in each?

In Lichess I think you can also choose different eval nets. There's a small one and a big one. That will affect N/s.

Have you compared how many threads each are using?

Furthermore, Lichess Stockfish is a WASM build while your local Stockfish is a native binary executable.

Many have already mentioned number of variations will significantly affect time to a certain depth.
