Re:AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary on Thursday October 15, 2026 @10:35AM (#50104301)
There is no doubt that a new wave of game UGC is coming, the barrier to technical execution keeps getting lower and lower. But when it comes to fun, soul, and polish, experienced and talented people still have a huge advantage, because such qualities are hard to verify.

LLMs raise the floor, but you determine the ceiling.

Good work! Context-awareness has huge potential. I don't think this demo hit the right mark, but it definitely shed some light.
Good read.

Re:Solving a Million-Step LLM Task with Zero Errors on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @04:43AM (#45977646)
Hmm... The key is to successfully decompose a big, hard problem into easier atomic sub-problems. However, the decomposition process itself is difficult, and this paper is not about that. They decompose a task using a human-written prompt.

Prompts are really an interesting way of programming, and we can actually express logic containing abstract adjectives like ‘happy’ and ‘unsatisfied’ in a somewhat arbitrary way.

Great!
"As an analogy, imagine that you could put your dog or cat into hibernate mode whenever you left on a trip. Your dog or cat might not notice, but even if they did, they might not mind. Now imagine that you could put your child into hibernate mode whenever you were too busy to spend time with them. Your child would absolutely notice, and even if you told them it was for their own good, they would make certain inferences about how much you valued them. That’s the situation the human characters in the story find themselves in." Fascinating.
RL doesn't need that much static data, it needs a lot of "good" tasks/challenges and computation.
Re:OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB on Sunday December 22, 2024 @03:57AM (#42485198)
Trained with 300 raw pairs directly from the ARC training set without using any data augmentation process, such as generating many more pairs with some kind of ARC generator? That's amazing.
Re:OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB on Saturday December 21, 2024 @01:46AM (#42477937)
"Note on "tuned": OpenAI shared they trained the o3 we tested on 75% of the Public Training set. They have not shared more details. We have not yet tested the ARC-untrained model to understand how much of the performance is due to ARC-AGI data."

Really want to see the number of training pairs needed to achieve this socre. If it only takes a few pairs, say 100 pairs, I would say it is amazing!

Off the topoc. I think, in the long-term , inference should be done along with some kind of training.

Fasciating. Language is a type of action evoloved for information exchaging, which maps latent "video", "audio" and "thoughts" into "sentences" and vice versa.
Re:Real-time image editing using latent consistency models on Saturday November 11, 2023 @02:04AM (#38228171)
Cool! The real-time feedback will have enormous ramifications on the art creation workflows.
Asking models to do math is kind of an effecitve way to measure their capabilities, especially in reasoning and abstraction, which are quite important for problem solving.
Re:LLMs that can see and hear on Tuesday February 28, 2023 @09:45AM (#34969810)
The chain-of-thought works quite like the "System 2" introduced in <<Thinking, Fast and Slow>>, which is slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
Re:Microsoft's AI Bing also generated factual errors at launch on Wednesday February 15, 2023 @07:43AM (#34803046)
I think the last paragraph quite makes sense. It seems "true" that some kind of reasoning capability emerges as LLMs get bigger, which makes those LLMs quite useful and blows a lot of people's minds at the beginning. But, I think, essentially, the fundamental training goal of LLMs--guessing what the next word should be--pushes the model into a kind of reasonable nonsense generator, and the reasoning capability emerges because it can help the model to make stuff up. Therefore, we should be cautious about the result generated by these LLMs. They might be reasonable, but to make up the next word is their real top priority.
Re:ChatGPT is a data privacy nightmare on Wednesday February 08, 2023 @10:18AM (#34709199)
Maybe in the future there might be some kind of "forbidden to use in commercial AI models" policy on websites in the near future, just like what the art community is doing now.
Re:The New Bing with ChatGPT on Wednesday February 08, 2023 @07:00AM (#34706942)
I can't wait to see the model's ability of saying "They don't know", which I think is an important feature if it serves as a search engine, because it can reduce the amount of generated ramblings which it's actually really good at.
Re:Astronomer responds to Bard launch ad on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @10:44PM (#34703853)
So i think the ability of the search engine to say "I don't know" is very important, and most of current chatgpt like models in the market don't have this feature.
