Also I think people forget that even though a relationship ended, it (presumably) still brought happiness while it lasted.
You shouldn’t avoid doing good things just because they might end someday.

Now I want an RPG where you have to pack your bags with a physics simulation like this.

Transformers are probably AGI, at a mathematical level. But that’s just an architecture (likely a wildly inefficient one), not an implementation of that architecture (modern LLMs).

- Comment on Can a puzzle with missing pieces be considered complete? 1 month ago:
All very interesting thoughts, I went through basically that whole conflict myself the first time I decided to not finish a puzzle.
Here’s how I look at it: a puzzle is fundamentally a challenge to see if you can solve it. (Maybe people will disagree with me on that, but in my mind, that’s what it is.) So as soon as I have finished enough of it that I can say “Yep, I’ve solved it. Only trivial moves are left. Even a baby could finish this puzzle.” it no longer is a puzzle to me. I’ve proven that I can do it, and that is the satisfying part to me.
If someone else has a different goal for puzzles (eg. they want to view the unblemished art) then maybe that line of thinking doesn’t really follow. As with all games, you can decide how to play - do whatever brings you the most satisfaction.
That actually brings me to another point. There is immense social pressure in games to play the games the “right” way. However, there is no wrong way to enjoy your recreation time (as long as you are not harming someone of course). Rule books are a suggestion, not a fact of life. Heck, there are more house rules in Monopoly than there are real rules.
Anyway, sorry about the rant, your line of thought was very interesting to me, thank you for sharing!

I like to build puzzles except for the last piece, just to prove to myself that finishing most tasks is a societal pressure, not an existential one.

I’m aware! I’m not saying they are healthy in any way. I’m just correcting that specific misinformation, because truth is important.
These companies are fucked if they keep operating the way they currently are, and I strongly suspect it’s going to pop like the dotcom bubble, but worse.

I’m not saying they’re healthy, I’m saying that inference is the one profitable part of their business.
They’re all going to die because training costs dwarf the inference, and training doesn’t generate ANY revenue.

The new supercritical CO2 generators are pretty cool. Pretty much the same thing but no water!
- Comment on Vibe management 1 month ago:
We do have numbers from comparably sized Chinese models.
Yes, every AI company is bleeding money, they’re not healthy in any way. But inference by itself is profitable, based on everything that we know.
Inference + amortizing the training costs is NOT profitable, which is what most people are talking about.
- Comment on Vibe management 1 month ago:
This is a common myth, inference is not typically run at a loss, despite claims. It’s only a loss if you include staff and ongoing training costs. They could lock in their models now and be profitable if they wanted to.

That “24 hours a day” is doing some extreme lifting. There are absolutely areas where wind makes constant power, just sometimes it produces more than other times.

I don’t think I ever used a divide symbol like that beyond elementary school. In practice always use fraction style notation for division because it’s not ambiguous or a gotcha.
- Comment on Recent conversations between Dawkins and sentient chat-bot Claudia (Claude) 1 month ago:
Not precisely true. Most LLMs (all frontier LLMs) are in fact designed at a fundamental level to increase engagement, using a technique called RLHF (reinforcement learning by human feedback). Essentially whichever responses cause people to use an LLM more are baked into its weights.

Difficult to do it in a way that is physically consistent with a camera lens/sensor.
I don’t see any of the expected issues with AI (garbled text, impossible geometry, strange anatomy, etc) in this picture. Of course it’s quite possible to just edit a portion of an existing picture with AI, and it will match the rest. So I may have been overstating the difficulty.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Very hard to get an AI to make an image that consistently blurred. Very likely a real photo.
