AI talk is turning into Silicon Valley pseudo-math slang. Priors, exponentials, latent space
You get lines like “no priors” or “embracing exponentials” that sound smart but mostly signal status
Same move as N Taleb and “convexity.” A real idea turned into a generic intellectual flex
Probably? Reinforcement learning creates bots with specific styles. For example, ChatGPT is very fond of "typically", "unpack this", and "if you want".
Once again a post with literally 3 points and 2 hours old is the top of /ask
Why is the HN algorithm such ass, can we talk about that?
Well it did have Claude both in the title and the description...
