Kyle HughesOn Mastodon, language models are useless for all tasks and can be willed out of existence "if everyone just…"s. On Threads, people are incuriously in awe of everything. On X, AGI has been achieved internally in frontier labs and anyone not working in ML will be in poverty by end-of-year.
AI denialism and maximalism both leave the holder unable to effectively advocate for people in the real world and predict trends. If you are consistently incredulous then you need to update your world model else you're leaving a lot of effectiveness on the field.
When you find yourself incredulous that something happened, that means you hit a dead end in the search tree of your thoughts. It is up to you whether or not you want to fill in that gap and expand your tree of thoughts, or bottom out on incredulity every time you see it.
