> But, all we’ve achieved at this point is making a glorified token predicting machine trained on existing data (made by humans), not really being able to be creative outside of deriving things humans have already made before. Granted, they‘re really good at doing that, but not much else.

Remove token, and that's what we humans do.

Like, you need to realize that neural networks came to be because someone had the idea to mimic our brains' functionality, and see where that lead to.

Many skeptics at the beginning like you discredited the inventor, but he was proved wrong. LLMs shown how much more than your limited description they can achieve.

We mimicked birds with airplanes, and we can outdo them. It's actually in my view very short sighted to say we can't just mimic brains and outdo them. We're there. ChatGPT is the initial little planes that flew close to the ground and barely stayed up

With motivation, repetition, and those depend on how plastic your brain is, thus the age, yes!

The intensity you did it though matters. You probably didn't spend that many years on a specific sport for instance.

And when we're talking about sports, genetics matter as well (depending on each one)

When we're talking brains, while genetics also matter, assuming normal (whatever that is) brain, the plasticity changes a lot how it operates.

So, the 10 years thing is definitely a big if not the biggest part. In my opinion. Would love to see studies if any exist out there on this

They're not boasting about their current productivity, they're boasting about the one they achieved at FoundationDB when they implemented the testing, which gave them the idea to build antithesis

Would a USB bluetooth adapter to connect to wireless keyboards and mouses work with this??

From my last experience circa 1/2 years ago, you just need to be the only one on the road. About that time I was driving up at odd hours on a highway, when I noticed a yellow stretch on google maps coming up. Turns out the highway was mostly empty, and the only other vehicle in the road was a truck, which is limited to a fraction of the top speed.

it's good for a gag - but it's much simpler to just go and add half of the number + a tenth to convert from miles to kms
