despair

• Fable took my jorb [2026-10-11]
  • “Models are getting good enough where they can be driven step by step, with a carefully crafted harness, to reproduce and port the behaviors they’ve A/B tested into oblivion as humans. They can push a rock up a hill. Then up the next hill, and so on — when the technique can be measured and check-pointed.”
  • “The joy of programming is dying. The joy of delivering results lives on.”
• what you may not know about these game combination videos (they are ai) [2026-10-09] [youtube video]
  • mostly just a summary of an llm game modding trend but i liked their perspective on this stuff
  • contention between llms and art in the techspace. we talked more about how this made me feel at Maker or Artist
• The Endless Temptation of Claude

whatever the fuck terrence tao is doing

irregardless to what you think of llms or whatever. i think whatever this stuff is is going to pan out to be the new version of protein folding@home or whatever. EVENTUALLY. you can’t really argue against “this thing can verifiably do something positive” but you sure can misrepresent frontier research to advance a pro-llm agenda in the short term

• Math 2.0
  • interesting perspective i guess
  • “Despite the impression given by press releases and social media, most of the problems at the current frontier of mathematics remain unsolved, even with massive computational expenditure. Indeed, the space of mathematical problems remains infinite; and the difficulty level of such problems is unbounded. Because of this, the future frontiers of mathematics will always continue to expand.”
