We started a podcast @SylvainLabs. We spent a lot of time to make sure it’s not terrible, and people have been responding really well. Check out Critical Nonsense wherever you get pods. Thisisnonsense.com

@stevehou The last bit makes me think about Brandolini’s law, aka the bullshit asymmetry principle— it more expensive to refute BS than it is to produce it.

The METR chart is all the rage. I think soon we will be confronted with the tough question of what productivity really means. Just bc you are doing a whole bunch of stuff it doesn't necessarily mean you are generating value. I am directly experiencing AI being able to complete tasks that would’ve taken me weeks to do in part bc I’m not that good of a coder so certain conceptually simple but implemetionally tedious tasks would’ve taken me a fairly long time to code up. Ordinarily, without AI I'd have just skipped those tasks and done something else. With AI, I find myself tirelessly babysit the AI agents to complete tasks I wouldn't have otherwise done. It's exhilarating and indeed seemingly highly productive. But it’s also not quite what it seems in terms of actual value generated. You end up being biased towards doing things that the AI is inclined to do. In behavioral economics, this is called the "availability substitution". I think we have to guard vigilantly against the composition bias AI productivity will generate. To given an analogy, the average person among us isn't a great writer/economic researcher. AI could turn all of us into prolific and above average writers/researchers, writing dozens or even hundreds essays and papers per months. But, is it actually producing "economic value"? We'd rightly call the output "AI slop". It'd take enormous human labor and/or amazingly better AI to process the slop to assess what has valuable insight and what's hallucinated junk.

Is it really "knowledge production" though? Or has this just exposed the formulaic nature of the performative dance that academics were engaging in. How would you know from the thousands of papers that are written at such blazing speed which actually contain any useful insights and which are even correct vs patently wrong? Clearly humans would have no time to read them. So you'd need an AI to "read" the papers.

I feel like I need to reread Iain M Banks, The Player of Games. I don’t know if this will be true, but it reads like a passage from the book. What does brilliance do in the face of its own impotence?
Bartosz Naskręcki@nasqret

Please spend some time to read this excellent entry by one of the most prominent algebraic geometers of the modern generation. I agree with all the predictions of Daniel. Actually, I am a bit sad, because I thought Daniel's predictions were much more reluctant and conservative than my own. In 5 years we will see that most human mathematicians will not participate in mathematical research as we know it today. Only a few, if any, will remain in the competitive game of designing and proving new theorems. But I want to elaborate on this aspect. What is this game of mathematics really about? I think, to some extent, that we are like artists, designing for other humans an intellectual experience, concocting ideas that can become viral and change other people's lives by showing new paths for thinking. I think I am already on the path between the fourth and fifth stage of grief. I still feel very sad that an epoch in which solely human genius was at the peak of intellectual reign on this planet is ending. So at the end of this post, I want to ask just one question. What will human mathematicians do once AIs surpass humans in their own game? Will we play the game for its own beauty, for the pleasure of understanding, of experiencing the unknown? I think this is the path, and AIs will pursue their own quests, but as long as humanity is still around, we will still perform our own art of thinking, just for the sake of the game. This is our nature.

@edels0n There may be a conflation of time saved vs utility/productivity.

Discovering “management.” It’s been interesting observing engineers discover the other functions of a company through building complexity in AI systems. I’d always hear engineers write those functions off as “wordcels”, fluff, etc. Now they discover the value via their domain.

My coding agent workflow has really changed a lot ever since I gave them access to messaging so that they can directly communicate with each other. Now, I have one of them come up with a super detailed plan and sometimes have GPT Pro review and improve the plan in the webapp. Then I start up 4 or 5 Codex instances in the same project folder and tell them: "Before doing anything else, read ALL of AGENTS dot md and register with agent mail and introduce yourself to the other agents. Then coordinate on the remaining tasks left in PLAN_TO_DO_XYZ.md with the other agents and come up with a game plan for splitting and reviewing the work." Then I can queue up a ton of the following message in codex, and it will just keep plodding along until the context gets full: "Proceed meticulously with the plan, doing all remaining unfinished tasks systematically and continuing to notate your progress in-line in the plan document and via agent mail messages." Then they just keep cranking on their own for a really long time. And you don't need to supervise them much so you can be juggling multiple projects like this at once and make really great progress on all of them.

Incredibly damning article about 1 of the Top 3 MBA Programs in the country. I’ll try to get some key excerpts here but I would suggest reading the whole article.

Please, make it make sense. We’re in the TACO-verse where since liberation day Trump is only shooting own goals on America. Give AI chips to China, but raise tariffs and as a result US prices and inflation. I can’t even back into the galaxy brain explanation.

Art of the deal in two WSJ stories. ➡️ We unilaterally indicate we’ll remove export controls on the H20 so Beijing can dominate AI and seemingly ask for nothing in return. ➡️ On the very same day, Beijing slaps export controls on battery technology.
