@GaryMarcus @kareem_carr @GaryMarcus I know vision models can’t solve certain obvious puzzles for humans, but there are chip designs, physics simulations, optimized mechanical parts, coordinated factories, actual good codebases and much more from gen ai. Wouldn’t call any of that nothing

@GaryMarcus @kareem_carr I am not really sure who this guy is but everytime I see something he says its always like “nothing is good in the world and you should feel shame if you think there is”

@GaryMarcus @kareem_carr I think your style of AI critic is pretty good actually, I also don’t think the oai style overhyping is good. but the nothingburger take is pretty lazy. Especially if you consider the robotics and physics gains.

@GaryMarcus @kareem_carr Qwen is good at category theory.
Claude helps me with latex formatting.
I know a people who vibe coded something useful, would have taken 20 but it only took 2 (and some love).
Hermes helped me parse a religious text.

Doesn’t have to solve the universe to be useful.

@NoahChrein @kareem_carr Many, and this was one of them, as judged by the lack of good counterarguments (as opposed to dopey, empty ad hominem).
