  • Ah dang, this looks like it got hugged to death.
  • I really enjoyed reading this, got invested in learning about this idea, and then realized they they never actually show any evidence that this works? Like the text-based model they are experimenting with did a kinda counterintuitive thing that they thought was worth a section, and then they don't say whether or not it was right? The idea of aggregating chatbot context into a probabilities is super interesting and I really want to know if it's bullshit or not

  • Suspect you suck even more joy out of it the further removed from original local friends and neighbors getting together it started out as.
  • I find it really cringey when people describe a whole intelligent system… and it’s just asking copilot to generate slop.

    It didn’t “calculate probabilities”, it just hallucinated slop. The same kind of slop almost started WW3 when a similar “intelligence analyst” system told the US navy to attack China because they were smuggling nukes into Iran. They weren’t, it was all slop. But their system was full of “calculated probabilities” too!

  • Fascinating project. How are the probabilities being measured? I’m skeptical of AI analysis because my past experience is that it appears to be analyzing, but behind the curtain there’s not even a fraction of the same rigor a human analyst would have done. In other words It’s very shallow but looks deep.
