I wouldn't either but that's exactly what lmsys.org found.

That blog post had ratings between 858 and 1169. Those are slightly higher than the average rating of human users on popular chess sites. Their latest leaderboard shows them doing even better.

https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard has one of the Gemini models with a rating of 1470. That's pretty good.

I imagine the "author" did something like, "Search http://google.scholar.com/ find a publication where AI failed at something and write a paragraph about it."

It's not even as bad as the article claims.

Atari isn't great at chess. https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/24952/how-strong-is-each-level-of-atari-2600s-video-chess
Random LLMs were nearly as good 2 years ago. https://lmsys.org/blog/2023-05-03-arena/
LLMs that are actually trained for chess have done much better. https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.17186

Like humans are way better at answering stuff when it’s a collaboration of more than one person. I suspect the same is true of LLMs.

It is.

It's really common for non-language implementations of neural networks. If you have an NN that's right some percentage of the time, you can often run it through a bunch of copies of the NNs and take the average and that average is correct a higher percentage of the time.

Aider is an open source AI coding assistant that lets you use one model to plan the coding and a second one to do the actual coding. It works better than doing it in a single pass, even if you assign the the same model to planing and coding.

Sometimes it seems like most of these AI articles are written by AIs with bad prompts.

Human journalists would hopefully do a little research. A quick search would reveal that researches have been publishing about this for over a year so there's no need to sensationalize it. Perhaps the human journalist could have spent a little time talking about why LLMs are bad at chess and how researchers are approaching the problem.

LLMs on the other hand, are very good at producing clickbait articles with low information content.

It was a "hail Mary" (pardon the pun).

In their view, Democrats are a guarantee that Israel will slowly but surely grind the Palestinians to dust. They were willing to risk Trump accelerating that for a snowball's chance in hell at some other outcome.

Glock is Austrian. They just love the US market.

"Whataboutism" can occasionally be an honest critique of a spurious argument.

When it's just a link on it's own, it's almost always cover for hypocrisy.

That is completely true and also unlikely to matter.

I was born 3 decades after the end of WWII. By that point Germany and Austria had gone through great lengths to repudiate the policies of the Nazis. They had paid massive reparations. They had issued numerous official and unofficial apologies. The monuments of the Nazis were torn down in favor of memorials for their victims. That didn't stop other kids from calling me a Nazi as soon as they found out I spoke German. To this day people are comfortable making Nazi jokes about random Germans (see Oliver Zeidler).

Similarly, we have evidence that the vast majority of sexual assaults are committed by a small number of repeat offenders. That doesn't stop the repeated mantra of, "Not all men but always a man."

Many people, particularly in Asia, are offended that the Nazis turned the Swastika into a symbol of hatred. Most people are aware that the Nazis stole the symbol but you really can't wear one without risking a fight, even if you have the little dots in it.

It doesn't matter if they should or shouldn't be assumed to be complicit; they will. People around the world will see the Star of David as a symbol of death and destruction for generations.

It's 27T Pro. I like it better than the iPhone it replaced.

The only downsides I've seen so far are that it requires a separate app for wifi calling and it has fewer zoom options for the camera. I'd like to figure out how to get the IR blaster to read signals (so I can easily clone my remotes).

Yeah. I'm typing this on a $300 Chinese phone with 10600mAH battery, reverse wireless charging, a thermal imaging camera, and it's waterproof and shock resistant.

I really wonder what a lawyer would think about this.

I did a quick check on the MA laws around it and it says that you need to obtain consent from all parties on the call. It would be interesting if the company tries to argue that its AI would count.

From a legal perspective, recording a call like that may just count as recording yourself.

2 hours of cooking for a 10 minute meal sounds like a skill issue.
