‘You cannot achieve an inclusive economy with an authoritarian regime:' Nobel Economist says repressive systems will not surpass democracies and that the Chinese model will eventually have to change

  • Democracy is a fundamental value, but you still have to be able to take action on big stuff. There’s a time to gather all the best information possible and a time to make an actual decision that has consequences. Unfortunately, by not taking that lead, democracies are outsourcing the big consequential stuff to undemocratic corporations.

    • Apple study exposes deep cracks in LLMs’ “reasoning” capabilities

    Jump

  • Once there’s a benchmark, LLMs can optimise for it. This is just another piece of news where people call “game over” but the money poured into R&D isn’t stopping anytime soon. Wasn’t synthetic data supposed to be game over for LLMs? Its limitations have been identified and it’s still being leveraged.
