There is nothing that could prevent a bad actor from replicating exactly the same thing with the given goal of e.g. gaining control of critical infrastructure or extorting money. Except for maybe economics.

Yeah but why shouldn't this be possible? We learned that we can already create artifical intelligence that surpasses human intelligence in some dimensions. There is no natural barrier here. The pace of this improvement would be debatable, but what speaks against the possibility of such accelerating self-improvement?

I am pretty sure if you play at pro level you train this out of yourself. But then, the marathon / running examples where certain milestones get broken by one person and then suddenly by a host of others, is a counterargument.

Again, that is the point. There is rumours that this one thing would be solvable, so they focus on this, spending 15m on one specific thing, instead of 105m on many. How is that fishy?

Reminds me of amateur table tennis. There is a strange dynamic where you down regulate your performance unconsciously when the opponent is playing worse and vice versa.
Could be described as some physical form of this effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments
The term would be conformity / normative social influence.

Something seems off. This source says: https://www.prb.org/news/how-many-people-have-ever-lived-on-...
before 8000 BCE: ~9.0 billion births, 8% 8000 BCE–1650 CE: ~85.4 billion, 73% after 1650: ~22.6 billion, 19%
Looks also different to OPs website
Re:LLMs and Self-Referentiality
on Thursday September 03, 2026 @04:47AM (#49547517)
Yeah but that is the whole point, right? Maybe I am thinking too simply, but it seems obvious to me. LLMs are intelligence without consciousness. Once we build in a self-referential learning loop into the models, it will gain a form of what we consider consciousness.

What's the argument here? It's not about the implementation method, it is about the behavior that emerges from it. You could calculate the next token by hand on paper if you had enough time.

I think the question is less about where it's most beneficial but which knowledge structure lends itself to LLMs most. Since biology's "language" is way more complex and irregular than maths or natural language, it isn't particularly accessible.

I think the author is having a kind of idealistic, relaxed view of work. Moving quickly, even if you break things, has a clear advantage over being perfectionistic, waiting to get feedback, building things that are not needed.
These are obvious lessons of agile management. Even if they are not absolute, maybe that post is meant as some kind of relative statement, in general, speed is a good thing. More speed than you are comfortable with.
