@kevin_smith51 @_philschmid If the harness becomes the central piece of the sotware architecture, shouldn't it be the other way around?

@dwarkesh_sp There is something paradoxal to me to use concepts as savings rate and in-human reproduction as core arguments in discussing the far future…

@Yoshua_Bengio I agree and highly respect you and your research but how is it possible to believe World Powers could agree in the current global context? To me it sounds like voluntarily stopping the Manhattan project knowing the Russians and Germans are also close to the Bomb…

@dwarkesh_sp Cool macroeconomics, now do micro please!!!

@dwarkesh_sp @jacobkimmel Wouldn’t the ideal longevity simply be:
2 x reproductive maturity? Seems like increasing the cycle speed would lead to quicker evolution but I am certainly oversimplifying…

@dwarkesh_sp Only been 6 months yet feels a lifetime ago and the headline from that interview left a sour taste, any chance to have him back this summer?

[John Patrick @JPobserver]

@noperator Yes, too many people confusing the painter and the brush…

@noperator This is Gold:
“If you’re going to use an LLM to write me an email, I’d much rather you just send me the prompt; at least then I’d have an idea of what you actually meant to say.”

@DubordDigital @RBLmoney @BullTheoryio Except the GPUs are actually being used to serve real demand which was not the case in 2000… there should be a correction since models cannot yet create the value for the user it cost to serve them. Also, Big Tech generates enormous cash flows, investing > hoarding for the Econ.

@GaryMarcus @ben_golub You are everything but subtle Gary😆

[John Patrick @JPobserver]

@jayce_edits @GaryMarcus @LotusAbhi @ASM65617010 He’s got to be engagement farming at this point right? Right!? Ain’t now way Gary still thinks this website will provide him vindication!

The bitter lesson in 26 words:

Don’t be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.

@traderderic @xxChessMaster Rxf4+, Kd3. King doesn't have to take, I don't see mate after Kd3

@dwarkesh_sp Which one is the human brain closer to would be a fantastic folllow-up question for a neuroscientist (a computational one if possible).

[John Patrick @JPobserver]

@Uncanny_Harry @dreamina_ai looking forward to it! if you need some music for it, let me know ;)

[John Patrick @JPobserver]

@Uncanny_Harry Animation, for at least another year, not that you couldn’t make realism work but the viewer is so much more sensitive to realism breaks than anime.

It seems like everyone wants to post charts but nobody wants to read the axis first🤦

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

An interesting paradox:

It seems like no one wants to read a book anymore, but everyone wants to write a book.

@DavidEpstein @wolfejosh 😮 you gotta love this platform… sometimes !
