Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I love to show that kind of shit to AI boosters. (In case you're wondering, the numbers were chosen randomly and the answer is incorrect).

They go waaa waaa its not a calculator, and then I can point out that it got the leading 6 digits and the last digit correct, which is a lot better than it did on the "softer" parts of the test.

Why would you think the machine that’s designed to make weighted guesses at what the next token should be would be arithmetically sound?

That’s not how any of this works (but you already knew that)

The funny thing is, even though I wouldn't expect it to be, it is still a lot more arithmetically sound than what ever is it that is going on with it claiming to use a code interpreter and a calculator to double check the result.

It is OK (7 out of 12 correct digits) at being a calculator and it is awesome at being a lying sack of shit.

lying sack of shit

Random tokens can’t lie to you, because they’re strings of text. Interpreting this as a lie is an interesting response

huge gains

This just makes me think that this person is lifting weights. And also using a forlift. Such an odd choice of words.

Visions of the promptfan walking into those kind of premium mediocre restaurants came to mind here

I knew you were a lying promptfondler the instant you came into the thread, but I didn’t expect you to start acting like a gymbro trying to justify their black market steroid habit. new type of AI booster unlocked!

now fuck off
