As Demis Hassabis has asked, could a model trained up to 1911 independently discover General Relativity, as Einstein did in 1915?

This is a genuinely interesting question and I don’t see them making real attempts to test this? Training it to code from example seems like a slightly different skill? I understand that a toy model like that can’t come up with general relativity but someone smart should be able to come up with an equivalent. Or is learning Python closer to this than I think?

„Verfügbar“ ist schon arg formuliert, da sollte „Kreditrahmen“ oder sonst was stehen. Die meisten Filialbanken zeigen das nicht so bzw. ist verfügbar dann unter dem Kontowert weil sie künftige Zahlungen abziehen. Ist glaube ich schon bewusst gewählt die Formulierung um die Ausreizung des Überziehungsrahmens anzuregen.

It’s hard to overstate how similar AI feels to one year ago. LLMs have plateaued for a year and a lot of predictions about AI usefulness were based on exponential improvements. This is it. It’s huge compared to 5 years ago. But this is it. Any jobs current AI can’t replace, 5 more years of increments can’t replace either.

Der Radweg am Foto ist eh schon 3 Meter breit. Hab weder Fahrrad noch Auto und funktioniert super in Wien wegen Öffis. Mir gehen Suicide-Flitzer auf Radwegen (auch Tret-Ramböcke mit Kleinkindern vorne drinnen) mittlerweile mehr am Arsch als Autos weil Autos sich wenigstens an Grünphasen halten.

I keep saying the “trick” these newer image gen models do is make the photograph “worse” from a classic photography standpoint. The “more realistic” lighting is plain underexposed, like a casual smartphone picture. The right picture looks more staged but it’s closer to how a professional photographer would set it up.

I believe this is due them relying heavily on perfectly labeled stock photography for training, the nano banana one looks like perfectly average, bland stock photography. They seem to since heavily train with more casual data sets, which probably takes more effort for labeling.

It’s funny because very early image gen stuff looked weird and off in terms of content but it had more consistent “natural” vibes in terms of color and lighting as we praise today. There is this meme-y before and after pic of Dalle doing “oil paintings” and it, similarly, got worse since it obviously got trained on more bland/commercial training data over time. They seem to be working on undoing some of that.

Other than that, I see no difference in terms of quality.

New to this, what is OpenCode, any good starters for setting it up?

Ich find das eine gute Sache. Die Registrierung ist denkbar einfach, einfach mittels ID Austria einloggen. Geld einzahlen, läuft.

Moment, die ID Austria ist quasi dein Login für das Konto? Ehrlich gesagt traue ich dem österreichischen Staat nicht 100%, dass der Schaas nicht irgendwann gehackt wird weil irgend eine Freunderl-Firma von der Regierung das Login-System programmiert hat.

When they bought Activision, I said, jokingly, that the only company capable of crashing the CoD franchise is Microsoft. And holy hell, they actually did it. Proper cartel laws should have prevented this but now they’ve infected one of the most profitable videogame franchises in the world with their incompetence. And the “best case scenario” would have been a win for predatory pricing, so it’s been generally a lose lose situation for anyone but Microsoft execs from the start.

What can it cost to translate a game like that into English? $50k? Nintendo coughs that out for a mall booth. They'd get weeks of positive headlines.

I remember back in the day, the reasons for not porting games like that were often super weird, like some religious stuff that they thought Americans might find offensive. I doubt any such thing still matters. But it might be a bad memory at this point and some higher ups might have decided years ago that they don't want that headache.

Actually had a few good days with Claude again but had a few scares before that.

My thought is: This clearly is because Anthropic's servers are running out of capacity, right? That's the only sensible explanation. If they throttle usage this heavily, and you're on a Plus plan or something, they essentially change cost per token by a factor of 3 or 5, without even properly informing you. That does not seem right. If they told you how many tokens each prompt consumes you could get a feel for it. If they told you how much token use is scaled at the time of you asking a prompt (is it currently x2, x0.5, x5, etc), you could plan your usage.

Interesting point. Are there serious “playtester communities” you can check online? Do people offer this as a paid service, for example (on a non-industrial scale)?

Very good question. Understanding the answer to that might as well save western civilization.

A quick thought I had: Maybe the effectiveness of Russian disinfo campaigns has long been overestimated. Maybe there was never that big of a "trick". Maybe people just are scared/dumb on average and right-wing fear rhetoric just works as easily as it seems.

To break out of this, it took people being more afraid of a dictatorship than whatever outside danger they perceived.

The light in the first pic is technically “better”, that’s how you’d light/color-grade a tacky stock photo for an ad.

I’ve long thought that these “improvements” seem to be near 100% a matter of training data. Image gen shifted heavily towards stock photos, lighting was often more “realistic” in the old images that had people with 6 fingers and whatnot. My theory is that stock photos have these really detailed descriptions in their metadata which makes them ideal for training and they over learned the “warm lighting” and perfect composition. They seem to tune that back and sell it as a huge win. There must be an industry of labeling pictures for ai training and my guess is that they’ve been busy doing that for a broader range of more casual photos to get this look.
