<p>In science there are ways to surface subjectivity (cannot be counted) into observable quantized phenomena. Take opinion polls for instance: "approval" of a political figure can mean many things and is subjective, but experts in the field make "approval" into a number through scientific methods. These methods are just an approximation and have many IFs, they're not perfect (and for presidential campaign analysis in particular they've been failing for reasons I won't clarify here), but they're useful nonetheless.<p>Another thing that get quantized is video preferences to maximize engagement.</p>

<p>This is an interesting update. And a big challenge for companies and labs. The new tools for measurement are indeed what I'd like out of future agents, and agents that solve the games will need to use different subsystems to do so. This is basically optimization for achieving goals (as opposed to prompt engineering / magic spells to make the LLM do what is told to do) which imo is the future we should aspire to build.</p>

<p>I tried myself to make a language over an agent's prompt. This programing language is interpreted in real time, and parts of it are deterministic and parts are processed by an LLM. It's possible, but I think that it's hard to code anything in such a language. This is because when we think of code we make associations that the LLM doesn't make and we handle data that the LLM might ignore entirely. Worse, the LLM understands certain words differently than us and the LLM has limited expressions because of it's limits in true reasoning (LLMs can only express a limited number of ideas, thus a limited number of correct outputs).</p>

<p>No. LLMs aren't experts in subjects. They can answer things in a confident manner, but nobody optimized LLMs to perform good analysis yet.</p>

<p>> My first reaction to seeing this FP was why are people still releasing MCPs?<p>MCPs are more difficult to use. You need to use an agent to use the tools, can't do it manually easily. I wonder if some people see that friction as a feature.</p>

<p>Do they de-prioritize or ignore other crimes that are not visible in the streets? This is an honest question, I want to know if actually focusing only on the streets makes people feel safe even if other types of crimes are rampant.<p>EDIT: I guess I could add examples of what "other crimes" could be. Fraud, corruption, sexual abuse, all victimless crimes, hitmen?</p>

<p>While children have their own psychology, behavior and brain development cycle, I'd like to clarify that I'm being careful not to practice ageism, something deeply entrenched in our culture.<p>The things you listed are not a special innate properties of children past a certain age (maybe it's the passage from infant to child? I don't know). If you don't teach children how a bumble bee is dangerous, they'll never know, and adults either!. It's the same for not considering the consequences of actions. We adults know better because someone taught us and we learned via painful experiences, so it's our duty to guide them so they can avoid painful experiences (while not controlling them).</p>

<p>The digital caliper isn't communicating with you. You're only reading text from a tool. I'm not expert in the field, but there are different "models of communication". For example one model has components: sender, receiver, message, channel, noise. The sender and the receiver are always people. There are other models focused on machines, but that's a very specific use of communication models.</p>

<p>> AI writing is almost indistinguishable from human writing<p>This depends on what you consider AI writing. If I dictate what the AI must write word by word verbatim, is it considered AI writing? Is it something to do about the percentage of the text generated? Does it have to do with the vocabulary the AI knows? What if I don't know any other words than the AI does? Does it have to do with the efficiency of communication?<p>Nevertheless, I don't think AI writing can ever be human writing. No matter if it uses the same words as a human and it's indistinguishable. This is because humans participate in a society as independent conscious actors and thus communication has meaning. The only way text can become communication is when the writer has intents, they're willing to participate in society.</p>

<p>Interesting thought-provoking movies still exist. They're just far away from regular people's comfort zone. I'll recommend you three post 2015 movies that will get you thinking:<p>Wandering (2022)<p>Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)<p>Monster (2023)<p>But I'd concede that maybe making movies nowadays is harder because things are turning more and more expensive and there's too much pressure for producing profitable movies. So Art takes a back sit in movies that look for profit.</p>

<p>The author seems to like the books, but somewhat downplays the children's world and nature. From my understanding of the author's article, It's a nature he believes adults shouldn't have and yet powerful people do. So he's bringing this up, comparing the children in Captain Underpants with these powerful people. And also he's reflecting on how media is created with a "childish mind".<p>Personally, I don't think there's anything to downplay or wrong about children or being childish as adults. That's not the problem. The problem's the insensitivity and shamelessness of powerful people.</p>

<p>I'd want two things:<p>First, that It didn't confuse what the user said with it's system prompt. The user never told the AI it's in build mode.<p>Second, any person would ask "then what do you want now?" or something. The AI must have been able to understand the intent behind a "No". We don't exactly forgive people that don't take "No" as "No"!</p>

<p>The intention of these phrases is to "hack" into the inner-workings of the human brain, into how people create power structures. Legalese exists for a reason. Language is not just a tool for communication but a system that defines roles for people in a power structure.<p>The phrases "Come here, boy!" and "Could you come here for a second?" have the same function, but the structure is inverted. Same for the phrases "I simplified the function so it's read easily" and "I made an strategic decision that enables robust scalability and growth". It all boils down to authority signaling.</p>
