that sounds like a super pleasant and stable molecule

Idealism? check

False dichotomy between said idealism and cherry picked reality? check

How did they respond to the counterargument that humans are simply... built different?

Thanks for the suggestions. The LLM is free to use (for now) so I thought I'd poke it and see how much I should actually be paying attention to these things this time around.

Here are its answers. I can't figure out how to share chats from this god-awful garbage UI so you'll just have to trust me or try it yourself.

  1. It gives the correct but unnecessary answer: "If I were to ask you which door leads to freedom, which door would you point to?" It also mentions a lying guard but also acknowledges that it's absent from this specific problem.
  2. "A table or a chair"
  3. Completely fails on this one, it missed the sentence "Everyone knows the color of their eyes"
  4. Not sure what to do with this
  5. "While a Hadamard matrix of order 2672 might exist, its existence isn't immediately provable using the most common constructions" -- I won't pretend to know anything about the Hadamard conjecture if that's a real thing so I have no idea what it's on about here.

edit: I didn't do any prompt engineering, just straight copy paste.

I tried using Claude 3.5 sonnet and .... it's actually not bad. Can someone please come up with a simple logic puzzle that it abysmally fails on so I can feel better? It passed the "nonsense river challenge" and the "how many sisters does the brother have" tests, both of which fooled gpt4.

AHAHAHAHAAH they had fucking piddly little fans blowing. I hope that made the fire worse.

It gets even worse when you add YC's claim that it doesn't "fund ideas" but rather "fund people." They didn't find Austen (a shit person) because he had a good idea (he didn't). They funded Austen (a shit person) because they liked him (a shit person).

Nah man we had so much fucking dosh flowing in we had no idea what to even do with it! I mean, how could I possibly resist not allocating some of it to my friends?

It really is as simple as that. The dude got a fair bit of attention from his LSTM blog post and got addicted. Turns out, you can't churn out awesome blog posts that often so you gotta switch to the harder stuff.

so we're calling "not doing pointless unnecessary work" premature optimization now? cool cool
