  • In order to predict where thinking and reasoning capabilities are going, it’s important to understand the trail of thought that went into today’s thinking LLMs.

    No. You don’t understand at all. They don’t think. They don’t reason. They are statistical word generators. They are very impressive at doing things like writing code, but they don’t work the way that is being inferred here.




  • Yes, 100%. When I opened an investment account, I explained to our financial planner that I was going through the motions doing what I know I’m supposed to as a responsible adult. But I absolutely don’t expect humanity not to destroy itself before the point in my life where I’m supposed to reap that reward.

    Hence, I spend more than is probably advisable on things like going to shows, travel, special events, etc. I wanna enjoy as much as possible before it all burns down, cause that’s exactly what’s gonna happen. And I plan on checking out early if things get bad enough, but that’ll be a while yet.









  • Ostanin was also convicted of offending the feelings of Christians with another off-colour joke he made about Jesus, which angered Orthodox nationalists.

    This is arguably the greater crime. Fuck off religious people, keep that shit to yourself and don’t bother others about it.

    Asked by the judge on Wednesday whether he understood his sentence, Ostanin said: “To hell with your judicial practice. No, I don’t.”

    This guy is a fucking badass. What a terrible shame. Hope he comes out on the other side in one piece.
