I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.
I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.
Everybody in the replies is rightfully pointing to algebra and so on but also an Arab scientist won the Nobel Prize one year ago.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Ok beside the point and obviously the Grok Odyssey is going to suck and be bad but oh my god what happened to this website, literally how am I supposed to read this?
It's funny how the Defenders of Western Civilization really want Odysseus to be this heroic patriarchal figure when he is canonically kind of a dirtbag.
Has anyone formally looked at what the market-makers being risk-seeking degenerates does to the basic microeconomic foundations of prediction markets? If I’m not mistaken we need risk neutral participants to interpret the price as an aggregate probability in the first place.
It is interesting watching them try out all kinds of different stuff to try to stop everyone from getting mad. I swear, everyone getting really mad at a tech company really works. It’s one of the few things that does.

I don’t know how to explain what I mean but this sentence is extremely affected. Like this is not an original thought but rote repetition of a phrase you’ve heard all your new friends say over and over again in your presence for the last two years.
(Still page 5) “Today, it’s clear not only that AGI is possible but also that, in some sense, the hard part is already done.” 🤯😡 Okay, so the problem for me here is that my book pub date is 2.5 months from now. And the thesis of my book is (basically) “no it fucking is not. See: history.”

It’s part of Twitter’s proprietary ranking algorithm that afaik is not replicated on any of the main ranking algorithms here so it is kind of weird that people keep talking about it on here. I guess it’s sort of transcended its original meaning?
i dont know what a simcluster is and at this point im too afraid to ask
Rarely has there been such a transformative technology with such a shallow moat. The instructions for how to do it are all on arxiv, and if you don’t want to read all those papers you can just ask Claude. All it costs is money.
The world needs a high-quality, truly open language model. I wrote about why it’s necessary and why it’s easier to build than you might think.
more thread on some crankery (I'm right though) on how infinite repeating decimal expansions are actually finite and you don't need geometric series to understand them and you don't need limits for 0.999... = 1.
it is if you think of them as "infinite decimal expansions" but you don't need to think of them that way. You can think of them as perfectly finite expressions. This is the reason we don't need to actually write down infinitely many characters to specify a rational number by its decimal expansion.
