AI usage generates a fragile codebase

I can only speculate as to the reasons why I was laid off from Meta in May, but I suspect that one of the reasons is that I was a little bit more resistant to adopting AI/LLMs as coding tools than some of my peers. Don't get me wrong, I generated at least 90% of my code using AI in my last few months there, which was…

Absolute Zero Reasoner

Current reasoning models trained with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) often rely on manually curated datasets, raising scalability concerns and potentially limiting future AI growth beyond human-defined tasks. To address this, we propose the Absolute Zero paradigm, where a single model…

AIs Named by AIs

Neural networks can be good at naming things, I’ve discovered. Recently I’ve been experimenting with a neural network called GPT-2, which OpenAI trained on a huge chunk of the internet. Thanks to a colab notebook implementation by Max Woolf, I’m able to fine-tune it on specific lists of data -
