There are trade-offs here:

Give up too early -> users will get annoyed because the task would have been solvable if the model pushed harder.

Give up too late -> collateral damage while completing the task A.K.A. misalignment.

It just feels silly to haggle about the price here. It doesn't even matter because it's going to drop by an OOM quickly.

If these 10 problems were solved by humans, it would be pretty impressive, even if it took a large number of researchers! Yet when AI does it, HN commenters suddenly feel the urge to play accountant.

It is comical at this point. Some people just can not stand the thought of AI actually delivering and are trying to find whatever ways to discredit it.

These dewormers treat the condition after the individual was already infected. I don't think they prevent the disease. Additionally, taking Albendazole without anti-inflammatory meds can be fatal in case of an active infection. Reason is that if the cysts start dying the brain, the toxins released might cause swelling which can lead to neurological damage or death.

AFAIK there is no prophylactic for pork tapeworms. I'd love to be proven wrong.

What kind of apps are you writing where GC spikes matter?

I wasn't trying to link the two. Just pointed out that there seems to be a lot of unknowns on the map.

> It's what having such senses feels like from the inside; the first-person view.

The hard problem is that there is such a feeling at all.

Isn't there a magical moment needed still when a single qubit "touches" the rest of the universe?

I'd say we are confused about both the lowest (quantum) and highest level (consciousness) phenomena of the known Universe. Quite humbling.

Would you be similarly pedantic if a high-schooler did the same?

OK, but don't you see where this is going? The trajectory that we're on?

Funny seeing this repeated again in response to Siri which is just... not very good.

There will always be a way out if you are dedicated enough. They "just" want to make it unviable for most of the population.

Couple years ago you could have made the same argument about talking computers and here we are.

If you own AGI, human workers are worse than zero. They become an active threat that can kill you.

I don't think this is true at all. There are multiple sources talking about how the mutation rate is context-dependent.

I think you are psychoanalyzing me a little bit too much. Am I allowed to say that I'm an atheist and I don't believe in intelligent design, or are you going to explain to me that I'm confused about my own beliefs?
