we are manufacturing slop optimizers and we deserve what we are getting

@iamtrask your HEADLINE CLAIM in your trash viral post is that "frontier AI companies will *never* own the frontier again", and yet you go on to talk about the importance of the scaling laws and are now invoking Anthropic. Get a new shtick, you're killing your own thesis here

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

saying "scaling laws always win" at the end of a BS ramble about how LLMs-as-a-council harnesses will always beat frontier models (despite this never actually happening in practice)...

if the scaling laws always win then everything else this person said is nonsense. cringefest

[⿻ Andrew Trask @iamtrask]

This is a *way* bigger deal than it seems...

Frontier AI companies will *never* own the frontier again

I kid you not... I've been waiting for someone to show this result for like 4 years... this is a huge deal.

The short reason: combinations of models will *always* outperform individual models

The long reason: this is the gateway to a million times more data... and huge leaps in compute efficiency.

The AI scaling laws always win.

@iamtrask MoE is conditional compute in one model. ensembling post-hoc just buys marginal benchmark scores with more cost/latency. if this ensemble miracle worked in reality the frontier labs would be doing it, and in fact are the best positioned to. but they don't, because it's dumb

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

this site just keeps getting worse, it's optimized for bullshit, bait, bad takes, braindead tech bros, and boobs.

i mean the boobs aren't really the issue here but it's nevertheless a symptom of the brainrot algo

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

@iamtrask the s*bstack argues the same thing as your post and it's nonsense. ensembles of models can boost benchmark scores, cool. surely the big labs have never considered this, how naïve of them! surely everyone will now use model ensembles!

such dumb engagement trash

@a_musingcat sorry for your loss

if Poke could command and supervise agentic coding agents, it would embarrass Codex and Claude Code. obviously this would require a lot of compute, but it's super impressive how insightful these models can be when given a scaffold that allows them to be realistic vs. sycophantic

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

i have @interaction's Poke review my Github codebase to review all of the BS that Codex overlooks due to its inherent user-pleasing sycophancy and reward-hacking tendencies, then i send the convo transcript to Codex, and it whips itself into shape.

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

@samyok @hritul19 @interaction i can't even get a response from the old imessage chat anymore it's hit and miss whether Poke even reads the message

@BJP130 @justalexoki The names had already branched off contemporarily. A crude analogy (different name) might be the difference between someone named "John" today versus someone named "Johann". Same root but both are a mutated form of the original, with "Johann" being a bit older, but distinct name

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

@Noahpinion I mean... only in the way that the name Yôḥānān is the ancestor of "John", "Sean", "Johann", "Jean", "Juan", "Giovanni", "Evan", "Yohan", "Ivan", "Jane", "Sinéad", "Joanne", "Ivanka", etc. The Galilean name we say as Jesus was already distinct from the Joshua equivalent.

@deepfates @runaway_vol (They are just like me)

[Datapoint 2200 @datapoint2200]

@deepfates @runaway_vol The reasoning models overthink a lot, and yeah you can tell it's RL that makes models like 5.5 obsessed with triple-checking, smoke checks, and the worst of all... hyperfocusing. They hyperfixate on a very specific thing and lose the bigger picture. Narrow superintelligence.
