Before anybody panics about LLMs let's just take a deep breath, and see this tech for what it is.

It is a giant interpolation machine. It is very good at remixing stuff, but is is hapless when it comes to novel things.

Consider this: an llm was trained on physics, but the training data was cut in 1904. That is just a year before Special Relativity was published. The LLM was then shown papers of SR, GR, and Heisenberg's paper from 1925 that established quantum mechanics, and similar foundational papers of what we call "Modern Physics".

The LLM has systematically "disproved" all of them, and rejected as false.

So even if you show it a novel idea, it's still going to reject it.

It is by design limited to remix existing ideas.

The recent "novel" mathematical proofs are also just remixes. What I mean it uses two or more established math frameworks together to generate a viable bridge. The result is undeniably a new proof, but not a novel idea.

People with novel ideas will always be needed.

Finally!

Trees are fantastic creatures.

(I'd happily go as far as calling them Beings, but I'm afraid it would sound like some kind of a new age esoteric bullshit, even so I'm borderline convinced they are sentient.)

The important thing that fascinates me is how Tree actually work. They are generally perceived as growing from the soil to the atmosphere. However, the opposite is true. About 98% of the material of a tree is originated from the air, namely the carbon extracted from the CO2 content of the air. Trees are literally growing from the air, and piercing down into the soil to get water to run their Calvin cycles to extract the carbon and produce the ATP.

Knowing this, I'd be more than surprised if Trees - or plants in general - haven't had any methods to control their food source: the atmosphere. I believe they do. And by destroying them, we are limiting this control. Looking from this angle, there is very little surprise in the onset of weather extremes.

I summary, I'm very happy with this legislation. I hope this a first step in many that is actually going to help us taming the climate of our planet again. With more trees. Because trees are awesome.

You need to saturate your attention span with running so many agents at once that when you issue the last prompt to the last agent, the first one is already finished. This way you need to continuously concentrate, so flow is achievable.

The difficulty is to break down the task in a way that multiple agents can work on it.

I usually spin two or three major issues with 10-12 agents in total.

The deafening silence in the comment section says it all.

Nothing unexpected. Microsoft has a remarkable talent for turning good products into useless ones. Skype is another good showcase of such talent.

> The AI rip-off was not just ugly. It was careless, blatantly amateuristic, and lacking any ambition, to put it gently. Microsoft unworthy.

I'd argue that this statement is perfectly true when the word "unworthy" is removed.

I mean... why not? :)

This is a sales pitch. No useful info there.

The problem with that is that the entity supposed to "bomb it to rubble" and the entity pushing for AI development happens to be the same entity.

Maybe the confusion why people can't see this clearly stems from the fact that tech development in the US has mostly been done under the umbrella of a private enterprise.

But if one has a look at companies like Palantir, it's going to become quite obvious what is the main driver behind AI development.

The point of the website would be to avoid the future where this is standard.

It won't be able to get standard if nobody buys the products that has it.

If that patent becomes a reality, I'll make sure to create a website to track which products do this, so we can all avoid buying them.

Loving this.

Not a biggy. Let's have them implant backdoors everywhere, and then use it to acquire and publish all their data and their conversations.

I'm sure that besides loosing their power quickly, they also going to face prison time for abusing it.

It would be such a wonderfully poetical end of them!

Woohoo! A pre-production alpha car has issues. What a breaking news story!
