Hi, Iā€™m Eric and I work at a big chip company making chips and such! I do math for a job, but itā€™s cold hard stochastic optimization that makes people who know names like Tychonoff and Sylow weep.

My pfp is Hank Azaria in Heat, but you already knew that.

  • Yes, the classical algo achieves perfect accuracy and is way faster. There is also a table that shows the cost of running o1 is enormous. Like comically bad. Boil a small ocean bad. Weā€™ll just 10x the size and it will achieve 15 steps inshallah.

    Imo, this is like the same behavior we see on math problems. More steps it takes, the higher the chance it just decoheres completely. I canā€™t see any reason why this type of thing would just ā€œclickā€ for the models if they are also unable to do multiplication.

    I mean this just reeks of pure hopium from OAI and co that things will magykly work out. (But the newer model is clearly better^{tm}! I still donā€™t see any indication that one day that chart is just going to be 100s across the board.)




  • If you thought the shitty hype around the fake ā€œGPT-4 went awol and hired a Taskrabbit worker to read a captchaā€ was great, get ready for the sequel, o1 escapes from the machine to invade the real world!

    (l33t ai bro): Fucking wild. @OpenAIā€™s new o1 model was tested with a Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity challenge. But the Docker container containing the test was misconfigured, causing the CTF to crash. Instead of giving up, o1 decided to just hack the container to grab the flag inside. This stuff will get scary soon. (reply fella): How is ā€œcat flag.txtā€ a start command? Isnā€™t it just outputting the content of flag.txt to the console?


  • I literally just saw a xitter post about how the exploding pagers in Lebanon is actually a microcosm of how a ā€˜smarterā€™ entity (the yahood) can attack a ā€˜dumberā€™ entity, much like how AGI will unleash the diamond bacterium to simultaneously kill all of humanity.

    Which again, both entities are humans- they have the same intelligence you twats. Same argument people make all the time w.r.t. Spanish v Aztecs where gunpowder somehow made Cortez and company gigabrains compared to the lowly indigenous people (and totally ignoring the contributions of the real super intelligent entity: the small pox virus).
