  • I'm not trained in formal computer science, so I'm unable to evaluate the quality of this paper's argument, but there's a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it's an NP-hard problem). That doesn't prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.

    Reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for cognitive science

  • The one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don't trust them at all for low level languages.

  • Are you able to share what kinds of applications and what languages you write in? I'm still trying to grasp why LLM programming assistants seem popular despite the flaws I see in them, so I'm trying to understand the cases where they do work.

    For example, my colleague was writing CUDA code to simulate optical physics, so it's possible that the LLM's failure was due in part to the niche application and a language that is unforgiving of deviations from the one correct way of writing things.

  • Skibidi gradually evolved into more than 70 1-to-5-minute mini-epics depicting the infinitely escalating war between the Toilets and the Cyborgs. Each video is explosive, violent and free of any discernible dialogue.

    Should be right up his alley

    In the show South Park, Stan/Kyle roughly represent the ideals the writers see themselves as striving for, while Cartman is who they subconsciously want to be

    Can this community add info on how one should vote?

    Is one supposed to upvote posts that they dislike (as if it were "opposite day"), to show it's unpopular? Or is the goal to get as many downvotes as possible to demonstrate the unpopularity? It would be nice if the community info included expectations for voting on unpopular opinions.
