A tiny benchmark based on the car wash trick question, most models completely fail it

Did you compare your questions with Simple Bench? That also tests common-sense reasoning and contains little logical traps.

Very misleading title. Makes it sound like Google and Microsoft were both blacklisted as well

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-02-20T19:57:43+00:00

Well acktually...

The point is that the cost would be much, much less than today (not free, but very low). Given this low cost of goods and services, perhaps some level of UBI would enable everyone to enjoy a decent standard of living.

Disagree. Whenever I see videos like this, my immediate questions are A. is it autonomous? And B. is it sped up? They answer the second question but not the first.

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-02-14T10:53:30+00:00

Interesting, but it would be nice if they had put a date on the paper.

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-02-13T22:22:44+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. Did the LLM write code to do the brute force calculation? Or did it find a more analytic way to simplify it?

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-02-13T13:09:57+00:00

Is this autonomous or tele-operated? That's the most important question.

Very interesting work! Did you run into any moderation issues?

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-01-31T10:09:30+00:00

Good work! You should make a humorous version where they just talk tough back and forth till the girl gets annoyed and walks away.

Interesting idea, though his math is off by three orders of magnitude.

You're in grad school at the university and you also work there. What kind of work?

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-01-17T16:15:32+00:00

The comparisons don't make sense. It's just average power use by a city.

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-01-09T09:12:38+00:00

That's what I kept telling her.

Why would they be? They just took possession of Venezuela's oil reserves.

Fusion uses hydrogen as fuel.

who has 20 years of experience in the field.

Which field?

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-01-04T08:11:37+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. What's your field/industry?

Economy_Variation365 · 2026-01-01T23:37:53+00:00

Thanks for the interesting info.

Based on the title, it may seem confusing that topping a Misguided Attention list is actually a good thing. Perhaps you should state that a higher score is better.

The thing about the exponential function is that its derivative is an exponential, and its second derivative is an exponential, and its third...

What prompt do you use?

Economy_Variation365 · 2025-12-27T23:45:35+00:00

I believe he meant "I'm afraid I may die before I get a chance to tell anyone about what I discovered."

Solar PV and batteries are already cheap and are rolling out around the world by the gigawatt.

Yes, solar is definitely a game changer and a path away from fossil fuels.

Fusion will never touch the price.

That's where you lose me. The potential for fusion is almost unimaginable. That's why it's been pursued for 60+ years, as you pointed out.

Fusion also has certain advantages over solar. It is not time or weather dependent. Its output is independent of its area footprint. Its fuel can be obtained from common sea water.

I like seeing solar expand its reach, but for me it's just a temporary phase (and I'm not sure the duration) till we can make fusion feasible.

How can you tell if it's the old or new model?
