I'm certain that is not a mainsteam opinion on reddit, but by its nature you will be able to find arbitrarily stupid opinions in individual echo chambers

Yeah but that's not nothing, and passengers will be annoyed by seeing cars overtake them

Presumably Tesla will not make this decision, it will be interesting to see how much consumers value faster ride times if Tesla FSD ever get their shit together

I have some terrible news for you about the human drivers already on the road

Didn't they admit this at the time? Cost was one of the reasons they gave for not immediately making it public.

Probably but the cost of running a short lived python interpreter to run "print (100 + 200)" is likely negligable compared to the cost of running the language model itself

Yeah I get what you are saying but I don't see much of a plausible mechanism for humans either and yet clearly there is one.

Not GP but given we have no idea what conciousness is it seems foolhardy to go too low or too high for any of those numbers

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Just because a number of of the form 2N with N > 2^32 doesn't mean it can't also be written as the product of two numbers below 2^32.

    E.g. 2^40 = 2^20 * 2^20

I don't think it's marketing, for quite a long time Claude was clearly better and not everyone has adapted to the new reality where they have similar capabilities.

I guess we'll see, because most 14 year olds don't have a lot of money to put into SpaceX.

Figure out how much of your fund it is and take a short position to hedge it

Maybe this is confirmation bias but I feel like Github has had terrible uptime since before LLMs were a thing.

None of that feels like AI smell to me despite the "it's not X it's Y" framing. I can't really explain why though.

Yeah until you get to quantum computing and then it seems as if the universe is doing enormously more work than you would think necessary.

For people like me had tried it in the past and found it annoying, note that it now has a 'casual' mode where it only changes the truly useless titles and leaves reasonable ones alone.

sebzim4500 — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 20:55:33 +0000

You are doing something, but 99% of the work has been done for you. I guess it's like vibe coding and telling the model to fix issues when you see them.

If you believe Polymarket odds are wrong in a systematic way then you are free to make a lot of money out of it. Unlike the stock market, where "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent", any such irrationality will become irrelevant at settlement time.
