@phokarlsson 1. Made my new tab something useful and nice to see
2. Automated an annoying flow I do a few times a week
3. Censored video titles by a gaming YouTuber who spoils whether he wins any given event in them
man: i wish to publish
reviewer 2: your paper is no good
man: i'll do anything to improve
reviewer 2: it's simple. you must read the work of the great scientist Pagliarini
man: *bursts into tears* but i am Pagliarini
@selentelechia we got a one time immediate "bess U" after a sneeze, though we were so excited about that that now she just goes "ah-choo" repeatedly so *we'll* say "bless you"
@tszzl@TheZvi This is interesting! I would have guessed it held in common between all; thanks for the update to my understanding. Heterogeneity of LLMs is neat
@selentelechia When my wife was in labor she asked me to get her unstuck in the video game she was playing. I did it for love but oh my god was it terrifying that a hospital employee might come in and find me Gameing.
@demiurgently feel bad for the model here - prompted to square such a ridiculous circle: "make sure to start with a link from their interests to our new chateau"
Scott Aaronson has, for the first time, put out a paper in which a key technical step in the proof of the main result came from AI. He describes his process using GPT5-Thinking.
'There's not the slightest doubt that, if a student had given it to me, I would've called it clever'
@RuxandraTeslo@tszzl (Or any kind of long-form explainer since I'm a blogpostovore, doesn't have to be formal. I have asked GPT-5 to show me studies but it's kinda a firehose and I trust it a lot than a subject matter expert like you for stuff like this.)
@RuxandraTeslo@tszzl I think "we have defaulted to" is a little dunk-y? Like it loops a specific person's point/style into a "what's wrong with Us in General" lately category.
@JoeyOtweets@besttrousers I think probably an interesting question would be what proportion of houses are owned in various ways, and how that's tracked over time. I don't know the answer, to be clear, but if a lower % of properties are investment properties, or if that % has been stagnant, I'm convinced.
According to the IMF, world GDP per capita (PPP) is now $25,591.
That's pretty incredible. That's about where the United States was in 1972.
What a victory for humanity.
