I would never have guessed that in 2026, we’d be arguing about if a human or a group of other humans running an AI based on the first human’s work solved previously unsolved mathematical challenges. How delightfully bizarre.

CEOs at companies with shareholders can NOT make decisions that may lead to outcomes that are negative for the company’s bottom line. Hence even though it seems bizarre they are asking the government to force them into decisions that are negative for the company’s income. Quoting @walterkirn The AI CEOs are free to hobble or scuttle their own products if they feel they're so dangerous. They don't need the gov't. They don't need legislation. government Related

I was reading a book review, saw a surprising quote from the book, and asked ChatGPT a follow-up question about it. And after answering, ChatGPT correctly guessed which review I was reading and warned me that it thought the author had a habit of selective quotations. OpenAI Related

Clicking the Grok button is rarely satisfying. If the tweet is “I like grooglefabs” Grok will delightfully tell you “FooBar comments on his love of grooglefabs. A common sentiment among the fabblegrooglers”. I don't want to type “wtf is a grooglefab”. You are meant to be AGI. AGI Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@danluu/111037093079443322 With the discussions of how bot traffic is flooding websites, I was surprised to find that my CDN is "only" using 3.5 TB/mo, up 3x in 3 years. Human traffic is probably down because I haven't been active for the last couple years, so maybe we can call that a 4x to 5x increase due to bots? Maybe my site just isn't very appealing to bots, but from the way people talk, I was expecting a higher ratio. I would've guessed >= 100x from how people are talking; 10x would be nothing in terms of load. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
