Yeah, I've been griping about LLM overconfidence for years, as somebody who is racked with self-doubt and second-guessing. On one hand, my own low opinion of myself made me a terrible mentor and manager, because having a similarly zero-trust policy towards my colleagues' work caused no end of friction (especially as a founder where people looked up to me for validation). On the other hand, i don't know very many top-tier practitioners that don't exhibit significantly more self-doubt than an o...| news.ycombinator.com

The longer quote from Warren Buffett is very interestingToday the world’s gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $1,750 per ounce – gold’s price as I write this – its value would be $9.6 trillion. Call this cube pile A.| news.ycombinator.com

I keep hearing about how AGI is going to change the game and how it's going to immediately lead to a dangerous ASI. I even hear it from people I know who know almost nothing about how AI works. I am no pro myself, but I think having a fundamental understanding of how AI computes and stores information changes the perspective greatly.Firstly, what is AGI? I've never heard a decent definition. Some say it's an AI that is as smart or as general as humans; some say it's an AI that's conscious. I ...| news.ycombinator.com
