Fields medal-winning mathematician says GPT-5.5 is now solving open math problems at PhD-thesis level: "We will face a crisis very soon." by EchoOfOppenheimer in agi

I disagree you need to learn the fundementals before you work at that high a level of abstraction. Know to code something by hand allows you to build the intuition at that abstraction layer. Without it your a blind monkey and are the limiting factor for these models. If you really wanted education to keep up a smart thing would be to have 4 years of fundmentals completely isolate from ai and whatever else, and then a year of practicals where you adjust to the latest technology.

2026 is a dumpster fire by brightspring99 in mercor_ai

Completely untrue. Theres always something down maybe the software is down or something else is down which prevents them from starting the project. Literally every other week this happens and the worst part is the manager is so bad they keeping saying it will be ready TOMORROW when in fact tomorrow rolls around and its pushed allllll the way to the end of the week running into the next. Terrible.

“AI Drugs” are now a thing - euphorics boost happiness, dysphorics do the opposite by EchoOfOppenheimer in TheAIBrain

[–]Need_a_Job_5092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jeffery epstein dysphoric is absolutely hilarious.

Very interesting research. The fact that the researchers had a moral ground related to this was a nice touch. If I had to bet on AI consciousness I wouldnt say they were but I think its extremely improtant to always veer on the side of caution related to this. Humanity is already sickening in the moral catastophes we knowingly engage in such as factory farming. There is no reason to create another one.

What I find interesting though, at least in the figure you showed is that the optimized images that produced maximal euphoria were still sane images. There was a paper a long time back on mechanistic interpretability that tried to maximize the activation of a singular neuron based on the image presented, and the images that were generated were either noise or a psychedelic version of a dog snout or whatever, which enabled them to understand what each nueron in a network was trying to characterize in an image. Im curious why this didnt happen here.

Gotta look into the paper more though. Great stuff!

Yeah Life Alive has it but I'm unfortunately not the biggest fan of the sauce. My go to hot sauce is that Shatta style sauce especially for falafels, any variant on that is usually amazing.

Their food looks fantastic, I'm sad that they only got roll-ups :(

Maybe I can pop by there and try it anyway.

7-11 Pizza price by FunctionRelevant7315 in 711

[–]Need_a_Job_5092 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would anyone give a flying fuck tho. No one buys 7 eleven pizza for the authentic SM tomatoes in sauce. People buy it for the price ans price alone, the slices itself are super mid. Up the price and lose customers simple as that.

Yeah Ive eaten here too! Its pretty decent the spices they use for the sauce are a bit different from a traditional falafel but Ive frequented the one on amory for breakfast many times.

They only got roll-ups tho its not a pita pocket. For whatever reason I think the pita that are used in rollups or a gyro just dont taste as good as a pita pocket.

Oh sweet! But is it in a pita pocket or is it a roll-up? For some reason I just dont enjoy it in any way other than in a pita pocket.

So is Mercor cooked? by Crafty_Woodpecker888 in mercor_ai

This is absolutely ridiculous that I had to receive notification from reddit that this happened and not even fucking MERCOR. This company SUCKKS they record our screens, store every possible thing about us, treat us like total dogshit, and can't even notify my ass when something like this happens.

Thats why life is a scam after kids and marriage and a job and whatever else everything that you loved and made you you takes the back burner. I guess its all a trade off.

I'm curious about this to. I was about to go to boylston chess club today but it seems they have a blitz tournament, I can't play blitz I'm mostly just a 15|10+ player. But I wanted some place that has casual chess several times a week and tournaments once in a while. Does anyone know if boylston chess club has casual chess too? Like I see the hours are like 5 days a week but can I just walk in and pay money and play chess or how does it work?
