One commenter cites von Neumann’s minimax theorem to argue that there is an “inexploitable” strategy for chess, and then another commenter starts talking about the well-ordering theorem.
Of course, all of that is irrelevant because chess is a finite, sequential, perfect-information game.
Well, it is true that computer programs have far surpassed humans in board games. They are very well suited for it. It just has nothing to do with the hypothesized abilities of future “AI” as rationalists conceive them.
Oh, I didn’t know that!
The paper is itself written by LLM.
flaviat explained why your counterexample is not correct. But also, the correct statement (Liouville’s theorem) is that a bounded entire function must be constant.
CS has a huge number of people who think you can derive the solutions to social problems from first principles. It’s impossible to reason with them.
In this case these are grade schooler’s (roughly ages 9-18) essays for a standardized test, so there isn’t a body of students who could grade them.

He is not the Democratic presidential nominee for 2028.
There’s a part where they quote someone saying “I am not particularly confident [in my p(doom)]” and I’m still remembering getting talked down to about how Actually all subjective uncertainty can be represented as probabilities because Bayesianism and you wouldn’t happen to be one of those stupid frequentists right?
That’s weird, The Register’s versions of the quotes are different (not just pared down).
I don’t really understand what point Zitron is making about each query requiring a “completely fresh static prompt”, nor about the relative ordering of the user and static prompts. Why would these things matter?
their story is so incoherent, i can’t even tell if there was a database to begin with
solve this sokoban or you’re fired
what i got from reading this is that it’s not X, but Y.
