Watched David Krakauer on StarTalk this weekend. His take: LLMs are capable, not intelligent. What I think they're missing is wisdom - intuition from experience. So I had Claude interview me on whether an agent with memory could grow some. I landed on an adviser that argues with me but never […]

Had a weird moment in Claude's Memory settings. I left my cursor in the text box, it started cycling lines, and the first one said "My dog's name is Beans." Beans was in my lap at the time - panting. It's almost certainly placeholder text (the next line […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Here it's raining very lightly from the remnant of hurricane Isaias. We were fine with no power outage or any damage, fortunately. But we have to stay put until the rain stops. We may have a chance to go for a walk later. #dog #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #AdoptDontShop #rescuedog #photography #FujiFilm

if part of the value of research and experimentation is to further human knowledge and wisdom, and our understanding of the universe, the AI-powered approach to solving open problems reminds me of my kids memorizing answers to their high school science tests: you may know the answer, but if you […]

When I'm thinking about AI in mathematics I end up thinking about the moon landings. It's not a perfect analogy. But there are some parallels. We tend to look back at them as a somewhat collective achievement of humanity; we're right to, I think. But the concentration of wealth in one place due […]

Is it me or are a lot of teams coming out really flat at home (and leading to lopsided scores)? Think it has to do with the shortned training camp? Thoughts? #HNOM #NHL #Hockey

So glad hockey is back! Montreal opened in Toronto and won - my goal model had the Canadiens at 52% on the road. I wanted Hobby Hero on my phone for nights like that, so this week I ported it to an app you can install. Very much a work in progress - the numbers are a pre-season estimate until I […]

Been reading about the LLM "torture chamber" debate. I don't think LLMs will ever be conscious. But the part that gives me pause is the person's side - knowingly putting something in a position where it's tortured and can't decline. Plus... what if I am wrong? What does running that do to the […]

Read an essay tonight on whether calling an LLM "intelligent" shrinks what the word means for people. At first I was unconvinced - what makes a human thought automatically more important? Then Claude reminded me I'd said art requires experience and a viewpoint. I think mortality gives us […]

Needing a heavy dose of nostalgia today, thinking back to earliest memory typing into a Commodore 64 console, I made a Claude artifact that had to have a retro vibe: glowing vector lines on a dark CRT. The game - very much a work in progress - is essentially a fun time waster and also a home […]

Watched Ed Zitron on The Tech Report this week and one question stuck with me: where are all the chips? Even Microsoft's CEO has said they have chips sitting in inventory they can't plug in. My take - Nvidia can force companies to buy and hold, and the data centres can't get built fast enough […]

The last version of Hobby Hero had an LLM write every hockey game - box score, three stars and a story, 20 times a matchup. It read like the real thing and cost like it too, so I shut it down. The rebuild is plain math: a goal model per team, fed recent form […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
