Another side of this: our whole public education system was arguably built to provide a labor force to industry, not for us to learn. The system will produce what industry requires, and we have to just find what we can get from there that we enjoy
Jeremy Diamond ☕️@dmnd.me · 4mo agoOkay here’s a fresh AI angle: current CS student just wants to learn to code
Sorry but no, that’s clearly an imperial class destroyer

Clearly the first and main point is they need to keep their advantage. And also, what kind of secret/no guardrail models is the US army getting? Or ICE? Pfff
Ted Underwood@tedunderwood.com · last wk.I respect the candor here. But I don't agree with the geopolitics, at all. The line between democracies and autocracies is not as crisp as this pretends. How much do we trust, e.g., an AI company in a competitive-authoritarian state that launches sneak decapitation attacks & bombs schools?
Job offer says: Send CV and cover letter, both mandatory. About 20% of candidates don't send cover letter, automatically scored 0 points. If you have 10 resumes to read I might go fish out the files from the server, just in case, but if when I have over 100 applicants per position...just can't.

FIFA gets exactly the semifinals it designed (first seeded against third, second against fourth).
I was stuck for a day with a bug that Opus 4.8 deemed “not in the code, there is definitely an error in the original physics calculations”, and urged me re do them. Half hour with Fable 5 and the bug was found and fixed — it was a typo in a complex index permutation. Geeeeeeeee
Any social metric “worse than Covid” merits to be looked at in more detail
Nik Gadermann@nik.digital · last mo.Seeing this month's "who is hiring" post on HN, I had a fun idea to visualize the data points over the years as I expected them to be a nice visualization of the current market in tech. Earlier this year was the first month ever in which less people posted jobs than wanted to be hired 🫠
This story keeps giving. A scientist decoded birdsong with AI. We now know what signals they use. We now know they confuse signal semantically not phonetically, meaning they build mental models of their world through song. THEN WE ASKED THEM TO CORRECT US BECAUSE WE KNEW HOW TO TALK TO THEM.

If open llms are really* about 6 months behind frontier private models — what is the endgame here? Shouldn’t people focus on long term advantages and risks here? * not convinced but evidence seems to show about that
Chris Paxton@cpaxton.bsky.social · last mo.The us government is picking customers who can access gpt 5.6
Modern AI resulted from research made also by many non-US scientists (Hinton, the French folks, Linnainmaa, many others). The pre-training corpus was produced worldwide with massive code contribution from Europe OSS. What is happening with frontier LLMs is unacceptable.
The American taxpayer is responsible for making Musk a trillionaire: without the billions in public funds that have repeatedly bailed out and kept afloat his multiple failing businesses, he'd be just another serial bankrupt. His fortune was built on OUR backs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
CommonSense@comminsense.bsky.social · 2mo agoA future Dem government should nationalize SpaceX and rip it away from Musk. He gets NOTHING in return and the US gets its NASA investment back.

Obvsly wrong, but I think he almost articulates a real problem: we used to give students some tasks that took 1 month or so to hone certain skills, but the output can now be produced in a day. Are those skills still desirable? Can we learn critical thinking without those skills?
