How well can VLMs detect and explain humans' procedural mistakes, like in cooking or assembly?

Meet Ai2 Paper Finder, an LLM-powered literature search system.
Searching for relevant work is a multi-step process that requires iteration. Paper Finder mimics this workflow — and helps researchers find more papers than ever 🔍

One of ways in which AI hype men are highly copacetic with Trump is that they think you can assert things with absolutely no care for truth or feasibility. Bullshitters par excellence

So energy …
Fusion’s gonna work.
Fusion is going to work. Um. On what time frame?
Soon. Well, soon there will be a demonstration of net-gain fusion. You then have to build a system that doesn’t break. You have to scale it up. You have to figure out how to build a factory—build a lot of them—and you have to get regulatory approval. And that will take, you know, years altogether? But I would expect [Helion 20] will show you that fusion works soon.
20 Helion, a clean energy startup backed by Altman, Dustin Moskovitz and Reid Hoffman, focuses on developing nuclear fusion.
In the short term, is there any way to sustain AI’s growth without going backward on climate goals?
Yes, but none that is as good, in my opinion, as quickly permitting fusion reactors. I think our particular kind of fusion is such a beautiful approach that we should just race toward that and be done.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreiee7jjkbneuad2nrf4n2muxyl4ud6st5pnnr37b6tqep2nhnyreby@jpeg)
