i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

LLMs have already mastered the syntaxes of many languages. Why should large neural networks not excel in mastering other approximately formal systems? 🤔

The new OpenAI model announced today is quite wild. It is essentially Google's Deep Research idea with multistep reasoning, web search, *and* the o3 model underneath (as far as I know). It sometimes takes a half hour to answer. Let me show you an example. 1/x

We need more philosophy of science work on computer science. What is its goal? How are scientific explanations in CS structured? What aspect of the world do they describe?

Is computer science even a “science“?… If I explain to you how you can build the newest most awesome Lego model, would such an explanation be a work of science?

I appreciate the fact that Deepseek focused on a diverse team with people coming from the humanities, too. This is unthinkable in many business driven settings.

If I were to fund research in AI, I’d double down on model sentience. Human (NL)U is also guided by empathy.
