@sama @AlexCVJ You still have a 16 year-old's understanding of the world, you're just now a rich 16 year-old surrounded by sycophants

@DKThomp @EoinHiggins_ This has been a problem in discussions about AI for a while. For example, read this: https://t.co/14xL49ZvzO

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

@DKThomp @EoinHiggins_ You are begging the question: "design," "analyze," "get A- grades" all imply thinking already, so describing what AI does in those terms assumes what you are trying to prove

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

"um actually we're trapped in a prison of our own subjectivity so who's to say who's right" my god shut up. We can still learn things about the world

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

This centrist take that "we can't *really* know what happened in the Good case because we all have cognitive biases" is complete and utter nonsense. https://t.co/wElfLoqMP4

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

al-Gharbi's argument is specious, and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of both psychology and epistemology

More evidence that reviewers should be paid. If you ask people to work for free there is little incentive for them to do a good job

[Dr. Jean Fan @JEFworks]

Newfound disappointment both as a scientist and as an editor: receiving shallow peer reviews that are entirely AI-generated. The whole point is critical feedback from YOU as a real expert.

If reviewers are outsourcing to AI, I think we've lost the plot 🤷‍♀️ Not sure the solution.

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way.

Complete embarrassment of a university.

@epkaufm @JoEllisReally @fire This assumption is completely unsupported, though. So your conclusions are not at all warranted.

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

@jessesingal This is a boneheaded take. By this logic we should never criticize anyone lest they become more successful later.

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

@Raptors Y'all left your signage on the backboard, are you going to come take it down?

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

Any optimism I'm able to muster for AI is inevitably destroyed when I come across something so unbearably stupid as this

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Ask ChatGPT:

If you were the devil and wanted to keep an entire nation sick, what would you do?

Wow this is crazy: someone made up a chart based on absolutely nothing

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Wow, this is crazy. OpenAI’s ChatGPT o3 has an estimated IQ of 157.

That would place it in the 0.0075% of humanity.

We are so close to AI completely going crazy and rapidly changing the world.

Mind-boggling that anyone, ever, would use AI to book an international flight

[Deedy @deedydas]

Google just launched an AI that takes over Chrome and does things for you.

It scores an insane 90.5% w/ tree search on the WebVoyager benchmark which has tasks like:

"Book a flight from SF to Berlin, departing on March 5 and returning on the 12"

Agents are going mainstream.

A fun game to play with @DAZN_CA is to see how many times the app will crash before it works. So far today: 3 and counting

[Ken Boyd @_kenboyd]

Here's how this very stupid post will go:
- The 96 Bulls were so good they still would have won a championship even with only 4 players (false)
- With training, Elmo would have probably scored a few points a game (false)
- Therefore libs are owned or something

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

I am slightly tempted to write a newsletter on how good the '96 Bulls would have been if they'd actually played Elon Musk (then 25 years old) 30 minutes per game. (Assume he does get some training and tries hard.)
