> You didn't just write code. You built a living intelligence.

This tagline at the end of the website is one of those formulas that I can't help but link to language models.

I'm not saying it couldn't come from a human but since I started noticing it, I find it so cheesy and patronizing, it gets on my nerves.

Also this "Progress: 30/30 papers (100%) - COMPLETE!".

And below in the README were the conditions set from the prompt (i.e. "use only NumPy (no deep learning frameworks)")

call me a cynic. but I am pretty sure this is a mostly AI written repo.

And this honestly is low effort. all commits only have hours in between them

It is kinda weird how all the chat type tools all spit out such cheeseball language despite that the raw models almost never generate stuff like that. It honestly just makes me feel like the people making this shit are so caught up in their own hype bubble that it doesn't even register to them as abhorrent.

The chat models are optimised to keep people chatting. The attention economy is still the economy this companies operate in. Which is weird seeing as I'm paying hundreds of dollars per month to get good results.

I don't like the comparison at all. Behaviorism has been long discredited in favour of more complex representations of our cognitive process [1].

Please don't treat people around you like experiments.

Isn't it fitting that the guy who wrote the blog is the CTO of Meta/Facebook, who are quasi experimenting for-profit on people for over 20 years.

Nothing quasi about it, the entirety of the facebook universe is a giant Skinner box

This is the official publication where Facebook researchers and academic collaborators reported the findings of their 2012 News Feed experiment that manipulated emotional content and measured effects on users’ posting behavior.

That Behaviorism rejected complex internal states (or "cognitive representations") was and is a bit of a strawman. The point is that the internal states must be defined such that they can be grounded in observable behavior.
