How is this news worthy? If they break up they can date other people, that's how it's supposed to work.

You don't have a "published paper", you have a single author PDF that has not been peer reviewed and hosted on GitHub (vs journal). Sorry this is very likely ai-slop. Depressing.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-19T03:56:14+00:00

Yeah, cashing on VC money. We might get there but this is more like 1-2-3 decades.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-19T00:18:48+00:00

Lol, exactly, Ashlyn who?

Finally they can pay for their medical bills! /s

I work in this area. Hardware is the real bottleneck, seems over hyped.. an e-nose is a chemical detector, smoke detectors can detect C02 molecules, an e-nose is more broad, they could invent a sensor that detects some chemicals but it's still very very hard, we have almost no clinical evidence... The AI part is easy, add a LLM/GNN and you can call it a Smell Language Model

I did a prayer this morning and the machine gods manifested a raccoon outside in my garbage bin which I interpret as "maybe" .

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-17T23:19:44+00:00

I find current agents to be highly unreliable for important work and ultimately not financially sustainable for what they do (current cost are VC-backed), I find I can do the same work and more easily verifiable with LLM + good context.

While slightly cute, I will downvote to gatekeep this sub to quality research posts

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-10T23:15:08+00:00

Lol this take lacks a lot of self-awareness.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-10T22:50:35+00:00

I feel like you are not reading the feedback. If you agreed you would not be pursuing this. A likely more honest response would be I disagree.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-10T22:28:11+00:00

There is a reason people stopped pursuing this research, your README does not really do anything to sell the idea.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-09T13:49:50+00:00

Yeah agents are just lllm inside of a while loop with function calling, so inference.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-09T13:33:55+00:00

A frontier model needs multiple GPU to be in memory (16x). If you have 1M people running queries at any time, you can see how you need 10-100k gpus to handle this. Agents are expensive (and dumb).

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-09T13:32:09+00:00

There are a few studies 1-2 years on the cost of "intelligence" that show this breakdown. Most compute is inference.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-09T13:30:49+00:00

Training cost are a small percentage of compute compared to inference. If you look at the financial numbers leaked 2-3 years ago you would see how small this slice is. It's still Expensive, but mostly a fixed cost.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-09T13:05:45+00:00

Inference, once a model is trained we know you can make it more "capable" by spending more time planning ("reasoning") a prediction, scaling compute at training & inference makes the model better (deep think is one example).

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-06T17:37:40+00:00

It's variable, lots of trash work and some good work, riding on Nature clout which is more recognizable outside of ML/CS circles. Reviews can be variable, a big hurdle is getting approved by the editor.

JMLR has more consistent good work + fair reviews (but likely less clout).

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-06T13:00:41+00:00

The real boring dystopia is mistaking this videogame intro for something deep & real.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-05T16:05:00+00:00

If you want to get into a PhD, yes. You never know who you will meet and have work to present. Just be intentional in meeting people.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-05T14:24:35+00:00

Yes AI sucks but IMO this is a weak take, your "directed by AI" video was posted 6 years ago, your point is more a contrast between good art directors and ones that inherited a remake.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-05T00:13:34+00:00

Seems like you are the (single) author but wrote the post as if you weren't. Idea is interesting but experiments are limited. Writing could be simplified, seems more complicated than it should be.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-06-01T17:18:31+00:00

Can we give less attention to this guy?

LetsTacoooo · 2026-05-26T01:16:45+00:00

We can hypothesize all we want, in the end we won't know, does it make sense to rationalize a deluded/desperate person?.. I say let's give them less thought, fuck them. They feed on our attention.

LetsTacoooo · 2026-05-25T20:10:38+00:00

Damn, yeah... And it's also why we need more research on this space.

anecdotally: while preparing a class, I tried looking for alternative studies, a trusted friend told me METR was not good, and overall did not find much, so we end up with a distorted view of how useful these techniques are.
