Major historical events do not necessarily have deep intellectual or ideological causes; assuming so is a common fallacy.
But I think this impulse to gild the lily and attribute the rise of Hitler to deep intellectual trends is an example of a pretty common fallacy of assuming that an incredibly important world event must have incredibly…

A programming language is not a compiler but an experience: editing, running, debugging and the runtime library all have to fit together as one cycle.
That was always the idea, and that that goes back even to the predecessor of Turbo Pascal, this idea that it's not just a compiler. It's an experience, right? I mean, you don't just compile your programs. You also edit…

"Scaling" was powerful because it was one word: naming a research direction is what tells a whole field what to do next.

Post-training is what turns a model into a product, but it can only do that on top of a pre-trained model large enough to already have common sense.
And without good post-training, you’re not going to have a good product. But at the same time, without good pre-training, there’s not enough common sense to actually have the post-training have any effect.

AI should be treated as an instrument to play rather than a tool to use, because there is no purpose to better machines if they do not also produce better humans.

An invention only matters when the principle, a workable design and an economically viable use for it all arrive together; the idea on its own changes nothing.
The specificity matters here because each innovation in the chain required not merely the discovery of the principle, but also the design and an economically viable use-case to all line up in order to have impact.
