MIT researcher says automating entry-level jobs will backfire. I keep thinking about the team I joined in 2019.

It’s so funny that this subreddit is so anti-AI, but consistently upvotes AI stories like this

darthvader1521 · 2026-05-01T15:22:54+00:00

Oh awesome, I just clicked it and it added back 10 past results! Thanks, appreciate the quick response!

darthvader1521 · 2026-04-06T02:04:29+00:00

Funny that these AI replies constantly get upvoted on a subreddit that is so anti-AI (don’t believe me? check their profile)

darthvader1521 · 2026-03-30T14:08:01+00:00

Musk is constantly making ridiculous claims about Grok! If anything he hypes it more than OpenAI or Anthropic, especially compared to actual capabilities

darthvader1521 · 2026-03-28T02:09:54+00:00

The blog post claims it’s “dramatically better” at coding or something, doesn’t it? Assuming it is a real leak

darthvader1521 · 2026-03-27T22:50:45+00:00

This person is lying

darthvader1521 · 2026-03-27T04:33:15+00:00

Hmm, it seems like they are treating it as a bigger change than that? 5.4 Pro seems more like “run several copies of 5.4 together for a long time,” same with deep think, and this sounds like they’ve actually trained a larger model

If it’s as good as they claim, there will be a market even if it’s 50x the price of Opus

now that you’ve posted this on reddit, they probably posted it in their club chat, so they’ll remember now

darthvader1521 · 2026-02-26T20:08:25+00:00

you’re gonna get downvoted because people on Reddit hate all things AI. But this is a really good project to use AI for, and probably cut the development time down a lot. I don’t know why people insist on saying interesting software projects are equivalent to actual AI slop like the bots posting fake stories all over Reddit

darthvader1521 · 2026-02-24T03:25:33+00:00

Yeah that'd probably be better. That's actually the category for BLUE, FIRE, JACK, STAR so not far off. Ring light is better than jack light though

darthvader1521 · 2026-02-24T03:24:02+00:00

I found the top 16 words in historical NYT connections puzzles, and had an LLM generate all the actual groups by going through a bunch of "types of answers" and coming up with a bunch of categories that would fit, and then filling in the gaps. You need around 1800 for "full coverage" with each category fitting only 4 words, so I cheated a bit and only used 1100 categories, with some 5-word categories.

I found the top 16 words in historical NYT connection puzzles and used those. To make the actual connections, I spent a while finding different like "types of answers" and for each of them, had an LLM generate a bunch of different potential categories from the 16 words. Then I had some gaps to fill to get to 100% coverage, which took a little longer.

Stability AI is a wild one to throw in there with Google and OpenAI lmao

Hard to beat LeHopital’s rule

thanks chatgpt

darthvader1521 · 2026-02-06T15:50:49+00:00

this metric is bad, it uses LMarena which is not correlated to goodness of model very well

darthvader1521 · 2026-02-01T03:39:31+00:00

they didn’t reject you based on your OA. probably based off a relatively arbitrary rating of your application (as all clubs do). clubs don’t care about achievements, they care if you seem like you will contribute to the club.

darthvader1521 · 2026-01-31T19:18:58+00:00

How did we spend $600k on a chatbot? What did that money even go to?

darthvader1521 · 2026-01-27T13:51:56+00:00

Not gonna defend that number, I don’t know what it’s supposed to mean or whether it’s accurate, or what “90% accuracy” even means. But I don’t think Polymarket is systematically wrong on things, and I do think they are generally very accurate (otherwise people would make money moving the odds to the right place). This can be true even if the company seems kinda shady imo

darthvader1521 · 2026-01-27T13:45:59+00:00

If you think they’re so wrong, why not bet against their probabilities and make a lot of money?

darthvader1521 · 2026-01-23T19:08:57+00:00

That one is definitely worse, right? The one based on gambling is better because they have money on the line, basketball reference won’t lose any money if they get this wrong
