The only thing diferentianting them from Apple now is the pricing, which hasn’t reached outrageous levels ( yet ).
Software is priced at Apple levels.

‘agents’ just interact with other programs.
If that other program is, say, a python terminal then can’t LLMs be trained to use agents to solve problems outside their area of expertise?
I just tested chatgpt to write a python program to return the frequency of letters in a string, then asked it for the number of L’s in the longest placename in Europe.
‘’''
String to analyze
text = "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"
Convert to lowercase to count both ‘L’ and ‘l’ as the same
text = text.lower()
Dictionary to store character frequencies
frequency = {}
Count characters
for char in text: if char in frequency: frequency[char] += 1 else: frequency[char] = 1
Show the number of ‘l’s
print(“Number of 'l’s:”, frequency.get(‘l’, 0))
‘’’
I was impressed until
Output
Number of 'l’s: 16

But why can’t “query the python terminal” be trained into the LLM. It just needs some UI training.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 5 days ago:
But an LLM as a node in a framework that can call a python library should be able to count the number of Rs in strawberry.
It doesn’t scale to AGI but it does reduce hallucinations.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 5 days ago:
AGI is only a benchmark because it gets OpenAI out of a contract with Microsoft when it occurs.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 5 days ago:
Why doesn’t the LLM know to write (and run) a program to calculate the number of characters?
I feel like I’m missing something fundamental.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 5 days ago:
a much simpler and dumber machine that was designed to handle this basic input question could have come up with the answer faster and more accurately
The human approach could be to write a (python) program to count the number of characters precisely.
When people refer to agents, is this what they are supposed to be doing? Is it done in a generic fashion or will it fall over with complexity?

- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 days ago:
The original question was should the US have entered in 1939. That word implies a moral perspective.
The US was isolationist, but should it have been. Should any country be? (Draw your own historical parallels to today).
America shouldn’t be the world police, but it should help resource a world police force. And to be fair, the US did provide a huge amount of non military resources to Europe throughout WWII.

The US should have been part of the League of Nations. It was cowardly not to have been.
If it were moral for England and France to enter into war, then why would it not moral for the US?
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 1 week ago:
Yes. We know why the US didn’t join initially. I was answering why they should have done.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 1 week ago:
Can you articulate why, with what they knew in 1939, the US should have declared war and not after they were directly attacked?
I’ll let prime minister Neville Chamberlain do so.
“We and France are to-day, in fulfillment of our obligations, going to the aid of Poland, who is so bravely resisting this wicked and unprovoked attack upon her people. We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany’s ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable.”

I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones. Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile. Knives are good, because they don’t make any noise, and the less noise they make, the more likely we are to use them. Shit 'em right up. Makes it look like we’re serious. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 week ago:
By lossy I mean rounding errors. Try to combine 2 or more recurring decimals in any function and you start loosing accuracy.
Mathematicians rarely use decimals (also they rarely use numbers). Everything stays in fractions. Maybe the very last step is delivered as a decimal, but rarely.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 week ago:
The fraction 1/3 is a compact and unambiguous representation—it doesn’t rely on an ellipsis or an understanding of infinite series to be interpreted. It can easily be used in later calculations (you never see … notation in algebra). It is a useful notation.
As soon as you use decimals in computer and human calculations, they become lossy.
I’m not really sure what hill you are trying to die on. Fractions are useful, even if you don’t know how to use them.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 week ago:
Your chosen notation solves nothing. Try Representing 3227/555 using 4 trailing dots.
I started here by showing how fractions are useful.
You are the aggressor, trying to fight centuries of mathematicians by claiming decimals are better.
