More concurrency than that isn't really practical for me if I want to retain some semblance of understanding.

Yes. Our career is over, as is our economy. Soooo... FYI :(

Hackernews' neuroticism remains undefeated

Just listening to the science, my friend.

Pretty sure the implicit difference is the actions they take after the fact. As in, "how many guardrail hits do we allow you before permanently banning you."

The silicon valley ethos is "ban early and often, and invest nothing in appeals systems", so any gate before that helps!

Your takeaway from "Sonnet 5.5 matches and sometimes exceeds the SoTA worldwide" is "their lead is vanishingly small"...?

Yup. Recursive self improvement presented in hard numbers.

Great article, though if the author ever reads this: please choose "artificial", next time! It's already the first half of AI. If I'm bound to be an irrelevant spec in an irrelevant backwater of an irrelevant galaxy in the moments between abiogenesis and abioterminus, I can at least hope to make one obvious adjective a "thing".

That one Anthropic engineer made "vibecoding" happen overnight, so I write this with full confidence that they have magical influence over the ever-forming neologisms.

One small correction: Andrej Karpathy coined the term "vibe coding" in February 2025, a year after leaving OpenAI for the second time. He joined Anthropic in May 2026.

I mean, this relies on time travel. A lot of thought experiments open up when you include time travel! Infinitely many, even.

Not really travel per se. A read-only operation of the past, just at a fidelity that we can't achieve yet.

At the point of death, your state is "copied" into the future.

This is still a great paper, but it's missing the second axis of the quadric -- if the only two options are thinking fast or thinking about thinking, that leaves no room for thinking slow yet deliberately, AKA selfconsciousness.

I do wonder if any of these folks ever got a chance to try this at one of the big labs, tho...

Isn't system 2 by itself semantically means thinking by thinking

Yeah this site has a severe issue of some kind that I don't think I've ever seen before. NGL, I'm pretty impressed! It takes so much compute that scrolling lags, which feels very, very strange

Wow, this post makes me anxious about getting a job. This whole process is so blatantly terrible... Not OP's fault, to be clear. Though asking a rhetorical "is that ok?" isn't exactly nice!
