> zero intelligence here That's head-in-the-sand stuff. AI is certainly very capable of being dumb (as are humans). But: > “The problem was in need of a new real idea, which this new result seems to provide,” says James Maynard, a mathematician at the University of Oxford. “It seems that the AI has made a genuinely interesting mathematical contribution.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-ai-didnt-just-... Nobody a decade ago would have said "oh yeah solving a bunch of open problems in research mathematics, and finding a bunch of zero days in Chrome and Firefox, and winning literature prizes, are things that don't require intelligence." | ||

>AI is certainly very capable of being dumb (as are humans). I wonder how exactly the average scraper got to be so inefficient on kernel.org. Did someone prompt a SotA model to write the most generic scraper possible? Did someone prompt an old local model on their laptop to write a kernel.org scraper? Perhaps no LLMs were involved in the first place. Seems to me there isn't much relation between how good a random scraper is and how usable/effective Mythos/Sol's outputs can be. | ||
