russia is such a deeply unserious country

I'm not trained in formal computer science, so I'm unable to evaluate the quality of this paper's argument, but there's a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it's an NP-hard problem). That doesn't prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.

Reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for cognitive science

The one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don't trust them at all for low level languages.

The wealthy passengers shouldn't have depended on the crew to rescue them; that's socialism. They should just pull themselves out of the water by their bootstraps.

Who's said bye to DVDs?

Skibidi gradually evolved into more than 70 1-to-5-minute mini-epics depicting the infinitely escalating war between the Toilets and the Cyborgs. Each video is explosive, violent and free of any discernible dialogue.

As an American I'm newly flabbergasted by this every damn day

They probably did think of it but then rejected it when they found out how progressive Jesus is

without compromising on visual fidelity

But it does compromise. Netflix has the worst banding issues in low-light scenes of any of the streaming services I've tried. It's hard not to notice and it's very annoying.

First useful thing Elon ever did

[–] mashbooq@infosec.pub 35 points 5 months ago
  1. An ever-larger number of people can't afford basic necessities
  2. They keep releasing movies that suck
 

Is one supposed to upvote posts that they dislike (as if it were "opposite day"), to show it's unpopular? Or is the goal to get as many downvotes as possible to demonstrate the unpopularity? It would be nice if the community info included expectations for voting on unpopular opinions.
