They lost way too much trust across the board the last years, culminating in the Biden/Harris/Trump debacle.

Youtube/Instagram Reels/Tiktok is the (sad) future. "Classical" media is a zombie.

Google is deader than dead on the search front. But I think they'll go the IBM route, albeit more successful


Who proceeds to kill christians, not muslims.


Christmas markets are more of a general consumer place than a christian place Killer probably wanted to go in the most crowded place in town. Could have been Disneyland if it was Paris


Would you elaborate how you arrive at this viewpoint? From my point of view I seem to be missing some crucial information.


I'd like to elaborate that makes sense you what information you lack. In general, competition between adversaries always exists, and in the same way that you might compensate a spy, you'd compensate a saboteur. In specific, China has a market and raw materials that are of great interest to some businessmen, Russia has materials and geopolitical connections.


I think it may be we are all missing some crucial information.


Nord Stream Part II


No. Nord Stream seem more and more having been an Ukrainian action. Maybe not official government, but obviously more in Ukrainian interest than in Russian.

I can't see any Ukrainian interest an cutting internet between two of their supporters. Whether the support has been sufficient can be debated, but both are supporters. Germany among the top in absolute terms, Finland among the top relative to their own size. Yes among, there are stronger supporters in both categories.


It could be argued that it was more in US interests than Ukrainian... And, of course, the US was better resourced to carry out such an operation.


I'm not sure if it is feasible to provide all relevant sources to someone who doesn't follow a field. It is quite common knowledge that LLMs in their current form have no ability to recurse directly over a prompt, which inherently limits their reasoning ability.


I am not looking for all sources. And I do follow the field. I just don’t know the sources that would back the claim they are making. Nor do I understand why limits on recursion means there is no reasoning and only memorization.


This is just totally false.

That's exactly what countless techniques related to chain of thought do.


The closest explanation to how chain of through works is suppressing the probability of a termination token.

People have found that even letting llms generate gibberish tokens produces better final outputs. Which isn't a surprise when you realise that the only way a llm can do computation is by outputting tokens.


It’s sometimes like, are these critics using the tools? It’s a strange schism at the moment.


It's my job to build these tools. I'm well aware of their strengths and shortcomings.


Unless you are building one of the frontier models, I’m not sure that your experience gives you insight on those models. Perhaps it just creates needless assumptions.


I'm building the layer on top of the models.

People call it agentic AI but that's a word without a definition.

Needless to say better LLMs help with my work, the same way that a stronger horse makes plowing easier.

The difference is that unlike horse breeders, e.g. Anthropic and openAI, I want to get to the internal combustion engine and tractors.



I know and support the intention of the article wholeheartedly, but I think we have to come clean as a society by stopping "good" misinformation first¹. Then, tackling bad misinformation becomes more manageable.

¹ Misinformation in the style of polls showing Harris being "slightly" in front of Trump all the time, Biden's health, etc.


Either this is a transcript of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSGVk2KVokQ, or vice versa. Exactly the same points are being made, at least.


I've seen that recently after watching part of a YouTube video about something and thinking oh this is crap, I'll find some written article - only to start reading the exact same thing a few seconds later on an apparently unrelated blog.


the images are from the video as well.


> hmmm... Maybe it's because I knew it was testing me, but I noticed it right away and counted the right count.

> I could see it being pretty shocking if I hadn't, but I honestly can't imagine how I'd miss that.

The point of the video wasn't to count correctly, but to see the gorilla


99% the person was playing along for the rest of us, so we get a chance to enjoy the video as intended.


cool, he noticed it right away


I believe them. Why would people lie on the internet?


> I noticed it right away


Popos (out-of-the-box): cupsd running, but on 127.0.0.1.
