@OpenResty If AI goes the same way as Soviet Union... ain't that going to be something.

We have entered the era of mass production of junk code. As the old saying goes, it's better to be without books than to believe implicitly in them. Now, it's better to have no AI than to blindly believe in AI. In fact, using AI well should be like President Reagan said about the Soviet Union: "trust, but verify."

FWIW, ChatGPT still can't get the olympic rings question, even when it understands it's an olympic logo. 🤦‍♂️ --- This is the Olympic Rings symbol. ✅ Count: Circles: 5 Overlaps (intersections): 6 🔍 Breakdown of overlaps: Each overlap is where two rings interlock: Blue ↔ Black Black ↔ Red Blue ↔ Yellow Black ↔ Yellow Black ↔ Green Red ↔ Green So, 5 circles and 6 overlaps 👍

Frontier models can’t see, and if you think they can, you’ve probably been fooled by benchmarks that can totally be gamed. In the very short essay linked below I discuss a stunning new finding from Stanford that shows just how serious the problem is. And why this means a lot of jobs are safe for a long while. open.substack.com/pub/garymarcus…

@GaryMarcus "VLMs are blind" study is almost 2 year old, shows mean accuracy of 58% across models, Sonnet 3.5 sitting at almost 75%. Stanford study is about mirage and hallucinations. It would be good to see the the "VLMs are blind" study re-done with current models, not 2-year old ones.

@HilzFuld Accurate.

I think I just had an epiphany. I’m serious. Let me try to get this into words. For the past few days, I’ve been walking around with this really heavy feeling and the worst part is I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Just like a pit in my stomach. Ya know the feeling. Usually that feeling comes from something bad happening. Some bad news. Someone sick. Whatever. It doesn’t just come out of nowhere. But if you have that feeling and don’t know why, how do you figure it out? Well, I think I just did. I think what’s been getting to me these past few days, weeks, and months is the realization that I share this planet with so many low-lives, it’s almost hard to believe. Us normal moral people are becoming a rarity, something you see less and less of. It finally got to me, after being exposed to the worst of humanity for so long, that I breathe the same oxygen as some degenerate, hateful, morally bankrupt, evil creatures. There are so many groups it’s almost hard to mention all of them, but I guess let’s begin. ***Islamists*** There are tens of millions of radical Islamists who live for one reason and one reason only, death. I say tens of millions because according to any available data, anywhere between 15% and 20% of all Muslims worldwide are radicalized. Define that as you see fit but that means hundreds of millions of people who want you and me dead. Yes, they live to die. And there are hundreds of millions more who are at best silent and more realistically quietly support the radical agenda. I don’t know about you but I’m not seeing hundreds or thousands of Muslims in my feed condemning the extremists. Are you seeing them? ***White supremacist antisemites*** Then there are the straight up supremacist, Jew hating, keyboard warriors who write the absolute most vile things you read and can’t believe you just read. True sickos. ***The Jew obsessed*** Then there are the conspiracy theorists on the right, the absolute lunatics who tie everything back to the Jews. No matter what happens, it’s the Jews’ fault. Looking at you, Tuckeroo, Candasshole, Megan Kelly (so sad to see her sell her soul to the devil along with the rest of them.), Rogan, and the rest of them. They’ve all lost their minds for a paycheck. Even though you and I know that these people are a couple sandwiches short of a picnic, not the sharpest tool in the toolbox, millions of people don’t, and they listen to them as if they know the first thing about Israel and the Jews. This group is both nauseating and dangerous. ***The extreme woke left*** And then we have the woke left. I hate to use the word insane over and over but these people, the ultra left, I truly believe they are mentally ill. Ya know, the people with the pink hair holding signs about the river and the sea without knowing what river or what sea and who could not point to Israel on a map. They love throwing around words like apartheid, genocide, colonialism, occupation, and so many other empty words they literally would not be able to define. Ya know, the people who get angry at you if you don’t call them a dog because they identity as one… Those people. Our future leaders. Oy vey. ***Gen Z*** Then we have the Gen Z-ers. What can I say about them? A lost generation. Tragic. Talking about the group that reside in the west but are anti west and pro Bin Laden. Totally lost. ***Europe*** We have the European politicians who already forgot what they did to Jews 80 years ago and are more than willing to do it again. Scary stuff. I believe that after being exposed to so many of these creeps all day every day for so long, it finally hit me that so many members of my species are simply worthless wastes of space who don’t deserve to breathe the same oxygen as us normal people. I know what you’re thinking (if you don’t know what a moral compass is), if everyone hates you Jews, maybe it’s not them that are so evil, maybe it’s you. See, that’s the thing with the masses. They are asses. The whole “But everyone says it so it must be true”, well, I’ll remind you that “Everyone” voted for a mustache man you may have heard of. I’ll remind you that some of the worst things in history happened when the majority allowed it to happen. So, no, just because everyone seems to hate the Jews does not mean the Jews are to blame. Either way, we are in a post truth world where we are taught from a very young age not to use critical thinking and not to believe what your eyes are telling you. Sure, when it comes to pronouns, no big deal. Someone wants to be called He, She, it, or whatever else, no big deal to call them that. But it is a big deal. It’s a huge deal because when you teach a kid that what he’s seeing with his own eyes is actually not what he’s seeing, you teach that child to not use their brain. The result? They can’t differentiate between good and evil, between right and wrong. And that; my friends, is how we end up with so much of humanity displaying a total lack of honesty, integrity, intelligence, and depth of any kind. We did this to ourselves but that doesn’t change the fact that we are living on a planet that we share with so many pathetic creatures. That depresses me. Sorry for the super heavy post first thing in the morning but when I have an epiphany, I have to share it. Is it just me or does this bother anyone else?

What I like about Diwali, Vaisakhi, Chanukah and Easter celebrations is that there is very little talk of beheading

@zeeg We're in the era of disposable software... the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" of code is upon us.

"but [insert random absolute bullshit based no evidence whatsoever]" if you could do this, even 10k a day, you'd be able to replace almost any technology in the world except you cant, beacuse its absolute slop, you dont know what the software is doing, you didnt design any of it, it doesnt function, its unmaintainable this will forever now be known as plastic software

i can write 50k lines of code a day and it will absolutely not generate any tangible lasting value nor will these 16k, from Garry or anyone else (sorry, but its the truth)

@WarMonitor3 Why would they, there is plenty of Russian oil and gas for them.

Germany will not participate in securing the strait of Hormuz and do not know a concept for doing so.-German Chancellor Merz

There is literally one singular thing that would make watching the #Oscars bearable - if @rickygervais hosted that.

@sukh_saroy Looking at some of the responses here you can tell how many people still don't understand how LLM systems work :) We're so early in this whole mess.

🚨Nobody is ready for this paper. Every LLM you use GPT-4.1, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama-4, Grok, Qwen has a flaw that no amount of scaling has fixed. They cannot tell old information from new information. A patient's blood pressure: 120 at triage. 128 ten minutes later. 125 at discharge. "What's the latest reading?" Any human: "125, obviously." Every LLM, once enough updates pile up: wrong. Not sometimes wrong. 100% wrong. Zero accuracy. Complete hallucination. Every model. No exceptions. The answer sits at the very end of the input. Right before the question. No searching needed. The model just can't let go of the old values. 35 models tested by researchers from UVA and NYU. All 35 follow the exact same mathematical death curve. Accuracy drops log-linearly to zero as outdated information accumulates. No plateau. No recovery. Just a straight line to total failure. They borrowed a concept from cognitive psychology called proactive interference old memories blocking recall of new ones. In humans, this effect plateaus. Our brains learn to suppress the noise and focus on what's current. LLMs never plateau. They decline until they break completely. The researchers tried everything: "Forget the old values"- barely moved the needle Chain-of-thought- same collapse Reasoning models- same collapse Prompt engineering- marginal improvement at best But here's the finding that should reshape how you think about AI infrastructure: Resistance to this interference has zero correlation with context window length. Zero. It only correlates with parameter count. Your 128K context window is not memory. It's a junk drawer that the model can't sort through. The entire AI industry is charging you for longer context. This paper says context length was never the problem. If you're building agents, memory systems, financial tools, healthcare pipelines, or anything that tracks changing data over time you are building on top of this flaw. And almost nobody is talking about it.

That's one way to monetize ;) #Claude #ClaudeCode #Anthropic

@k_sonin @nntaleb That, along with good old antisemitism.

First, a public intellectual becomes famous explaining how the world works to a wider audience. @nntaleb's "Black Swan" clarified a lot. Second, it turns out that deep down the said intellectual sticks to the most trivial conspiracy theory.

@Anakoyher Воздержались, после голосования «против» в прошлом. Разве не прогресс?

Годовщина войны. В ООН голосуют за мир в Украине. США — воздержались. В это же время Трамп часами упражняется в самовосхвалении и нападках на оппонентов. Трагический диссонанс между масштабом глобальной угрозы и масштабом личности того, кто претендует на лидерство. Ну, что ж, таковы приоритеты.

Don’t let social media twist you into thinking most people are bad and out to get ya. Most people are like these guys👇

Would be nice if @claudeai would allow migrating the memory and context history from personal account to the team one... wishful thinking.

@DakdaR22 @anders_aslund A lot of talk, not so much action.

"We must ensure that Ukraine wins and regains all of its territories, including Crimea." - Sanna Marin Former PM of Finland Amazing woman😉

@garrytan Same.

FWIW I used emdashes before AI was known to

@McFaul Where were you in 2013 when your boss essentially signed off on Putin’s original invasion of Ukraine in 2014? Don’t try and skew the facts - you were part of the problem in the first place. You emboldened the KGB monster and let him wreak chaos in the whole world.

To all my Ukrainian friends and colleagues, I sincerely apologize for failing to do more to support your fight for freedom. The guilt of that failure weighs heavily on me. I promise, however, to keep at it.

Would never have imagined a Super Bowl half-time show to be as divisive. I liked it, it was fun - energetic, captivating and extremely well executed (kudos to camera operators for amazing job). Sure, it was 90% in Spanish that I don't understand, so maybe next time we do one in Russian ;) Also - the message of united Americas can definitely be interpreted both ways - up to you and your imagination (a.k.a. political views). P.S.: I still don't get football, starting with a name and all the way to why the heck do winners call themselves "world" champions :) #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLX

Exactly what I’ve been saying. AI is not taking jobs, things just getting back to normal after the insanity of the COVID free money era.

Rule following isn’t an Opus 4.6 strength 👀
