Wow!!! That's awesome. So much AI slop. That here is definitely not. Kept me hooked, even though I am not a crime nut. Much improvements possible for sure, but I can see how this becomes a serious game with a lot of players.

How could something like open source ever be perceived as bad?

If you know anything about investing, you know it is highly likely to be either A a grift or B an innocent, but naive attempt.

Wait I thought the testing and release pipelines at Google are super fast?

I mean, yeah, fun project. But that whole game could be like 15 mins of prompting.

Nobel laureates are just normal humans and sometimes believe in garbage ideas. Surprise.

What's the argument here? It's not about the implementation method, it is about the behavior that emerges from it. You could calculate the next token by hand on paper if you had enough time.

Not at all. Economically, yes. Socially they are far left of the European left.

I think the question is less about where it's most beneficial but which knowledge structure lends itself to LLMs most. Since biology's "language" is way more complex and irregular than maths or natural language, it isn't particularly accessible.

I think the author is having a kind of idealistic, relaxed view of work. Moving quickly, even if you break things, has a clear advantage over being perfectionistic, waiting to get feedback, building things that are not needed.

These are obvious lessons of agile management. Even if they are not absolute, maybe that post is meant as some kind of relative statement, in general, speed is a good thing. More speed than you are comfortable with.

additional context: On the evening of June 15, before the first day of his first policy meeting as Federal Reserve chairman, Kevin Warsh sat down to dinner with the 18 officials who set interest rates alongside him. Gathered around a rectangular table, he announced his plan: five panels of outside experts would spend the next few months examining how the Fed reads the economy and explains itself. https://archive.is/20260728020100/https://www.wsj.com/econom...

I think a few years ago we were, but not anymore. I hope, at least, that European politicians have learned.
