Why do you think the human brain and chatgpt are in any way related?
Because LLMs are based on the abstract ideas of neural nets from brains. Say what you wish, but some problems were completely unsolvable before we adopted this paradigm. On some level, we must've gotten some ideas close to the right ballpark.

Sorry, it went over my head a bit, you read about his arrest while he was being arrested?
I had the same confusion initially, interestingly chat GPT gets it:
So while wolfgang42 wasn't there when Ulbricht was actually arrested, their realization created a vivid mental image of the event unfolding in that space, which made the story feel more immersive.
In short: they were reading about an old event, but it happened to occur in the same spot they were sitting at that moment. Hope that clears it up!

> We of all people should know how difficult estimating can be.
Then (a) perhaps keep your mouth shut until you can deliver it, and (b) don't take people's money for something that you say is "only X years away" when it's actually X+3/4/5.
So you're saying it's better to be like most people: to promise nothing and then deliver exactly that, perfectly on time.
Great to hear that they started testing it - these 1 million Robotaxi were sitting idle since 2020 !
If you believe any of Musk's bullshit, do yourself a favor and listen to past investor calls from Tesla. And then check how these statements and predictions turn out in reality.
"1000 times better than human driving by the second quarter of 2025". We're yet to see any reliable number from Tesla about those claims. Every single new version of FSD is "mind blowing" and looks like they "solved autonomy", for the past 4 years. And yet, they did unveil a concept Robotaxi in a ... Hollywood studio. Autonomy was solved in Hollywood studios and Theme parks 30 years ago.
How do you reconcile his "bullshit" with the fact his spaceships are saving astronauts from space?
It's interesting that humans would also benefit from the "chain of thought" type reasoning. In fact, I would argue all students studying math will greatly increase their competence if they are required to recall all relevant definition and information before using it. We don't do this in practice (including teachers and mathematicians!) because recall is effortful, and we don't like to spent more effort than necessary to solve a problem. If recall fails, then we have to look up information which takes even more effort. This is why in practice, there is a tremendous incentive to just "wing it".
AI has no emotional barrier to wasted effort, which make them better reasoners than their innate ability would suggest.
Wow! I love this take. Somehow with all this evidence of COT helping out LLMs, I never thought about using it more myself. Sure, we kind of do it already but definitely not to the degree of LLMs, at least not usually. Maybe that's why writing is so often admired as a way to do great thinking - it enables longer chains of thoughts with less effort.
How is Anthropic accomplishing this despite (seemingly) arriving later?What advantage do they have?
I think it's because OpenAI's leadership lacks good taste and talent. Realistically, they haven't shifted the needle with anything really interesting in 2 years now. They're using the inertia well but that's about it. Their model is not the best, the UI is not the best, and their pace of improvement is not great either.
