I think the people downvoting may be judging it on the title alone. This is not a pro-AI article.

If I’m interpreting it correctly, that’s the probability that this particular PRNG with those particular seeds produces those particular outputs. That’s a strawman argument; a PRNG with uniform output should eventually produce any value.

It’s perfectly believable that a known broken PRNG from 40+ years ago could be backsolved. The part I doubt is the sensationalized part, that the LLM found the exact method with which it was calculated. It’s just a plausible choice for a random oracle. It’s a local minimum the LLM settled into.

That’s the thing with random oracles, there’s likely so many plausible combinations of candidate algorithms and inputs/seed values that the actual truth is almost certainly lost to history.

Correction: Claude found a plausible way these curve points were generated. And “plausible” is carrying a metric fuckton of weight here.

It found PRNG settings that could theoretically generate the same values, but the fact that it requires thousands of iterations makes me think this is more of a coincidence than anything. Especially given that the NSA employee remembered something completely different.

As a product reveal, this is nothing short of blatant fraud. I guarantee there was nothing inside that shell but gas tanks and thrusters.

They posted this here once already and then deleted it, I guess because they expected people to actually give a shit.

All the messaging about fast charging speed is focused on the wrong thing. EV drivers should be able to do the vast majority of their charging at home or at their destination. The messaging should be about getting chargers in more homes, apartment complexes and workplaces. Speed doesn’t matter as much if you’re going to be parked for half the day or overnight. That’s something that gas simply can’t do.

Fast charging stations should only be necessary for road trips, where you should be taking a break every so often anyways.

And yet somehow they’ve been getting closer and closer to CoD every single release.

One extra death a day wouldn’t even move the needle, it sounds terrifying but there’s lots more likely ways to die.
