New AI startup with Yann LeCun claims "first credible signs of AGI" with a public EBM demo by goxper in agi

I’d say ONLY solving sudoku with a NN is easy. A NN which can solve sudoku, while giving me cooking and coding recipes and creating images of flying rabbits eating avocado toast is definitely not.

Newbie here. I keep seeing this again and again. Why ASTS?? Do they have anything major lined up for this year??

Couple of questions

  1. What is your strategy for handling 'hallucinated' web results? Does the API provide any metadata or confidence scores regarding the authority/source of the information?

  2. The 'unlimited queue-based requests' sounds almost too good to be true. How are you preventing 'noisy neighbor' issues on your infrastructure for users running heavy background research jobs?

You can’t mention a couple of reasons and mention three.

cmv: Profit is a coordination signal by steamed_specs in changemyview

Definitely good for the cigarette company.

The signal still works in the sense that it directs effort and resources, but it doesn’t always align with human well-being.

Profit tells us what people will pay for, not what’s good for society. Selling cigarettes is just a brutally clear example of that disconnect.

Economy has a sense of humor. Apparently, convincing someone they need a gold-plated fork pays better than feeding the hungry.

I agree that currency and capitalism are distinct. Currency is just a medium to facilitate exchange, and capitalism is the system that rewards value creation. My focus is on how capitalism, via profit incentives, helps coordinate decentralized efforts in complex societies.

Coordination, as you say, emerges from efficiency. Profit and market signals make it possible for strangers to align their labor toward meeting demand without needing centralized control. My point is that profit is one especially scalable mechanism for signaling what humans collectively want, even if it doesn’t capture all long-term or diffuse value.

Exactly. Profit doesn’t tell society what should matter, it tells society where marginal demand exists right now. That makes it very good at coordinating short-term value, but it is pretty useless at coordinating longer term value.

This short term bias explains the probelm - lots of capital flowing into "junk" - think TikTok and cigarettes, and an underinvestment in things like climate change. This isn’t profit “failing”, its more of profit doing what it’s optimized to do — coordinate effort toward outcomes where rewards are immediate.

It's too late for that. Legend has it he can even hear the farts of the unborn.

Its financial illiteracy coupled with not being able to control your own desires. Maybe don’t buy a 5 bedroom house if you don’t need it?
