Thanks for this. I have read the executive summary and, actually, UK intelligence advised Blair that Iraq was not a threat to the UK and that military action would make things worse: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/

It’s also a crime against the US constitution and the international legal order. By condoning “might is right” Trump has given an excuse to every tinpot dictator, from Putin to Kim, to invade and kill whoever they want

Is there a source for this? In his autobiography he acknowledges he got it wrong, but based on the available evidence at the time

I suspect you will find a lot less of these "bad things" than anticipated. That is why the model should actually be freely available rather than restricted based on pre-conceived notions that will, I am sure, prove inaccurate.

Nice idea, does not work

This is the point - a modern LLM "role playing" pre-1913 would only reflect our view today of what someone from that era would say. It woud not be accurate.

This is a brilliant idea. We have lots of erroneous ideas about the views and thoughts people had in the past. This will show we are still, actually, largely similar. Hopefully more and more of these historical LLMs appear.

Fantastic article. I am deeply convinced that despite what popular knowledge says, human taste for beauty does not change that much across time and distance.

There is a whole branch of AI trying to do this, but they are still at the very initial stages. LLMs are not the same thing at all.

Because LLMs are language generation machines based on statistics - they do not analyse the underlying data, let alone understand it. They are not AI.

Amazing! Makes me a bit sad to see all those beautiful buildings destroyed to make way for skyscrapers and bland office buildings...

He thinks "AI" "may be capable of taking over cognition", which shows he doesn't understand how LLM work...

I’d argue focusing on wealth inequality is precisely the wrong approach. A better approach would be to look at the quality of life of the poorest.

What’s your source for that? It reads like a cliché, especially when you know about the arguably stronger engineering background in France when it comes to aerospace.

They are well built, work very well, and provide metrics that motivate me to exercise more and monitor my progress. There is a touch screen but the buttons are simply a better and easier way to interact with it. It looks cool, and there def

Sounds a bit like the French "Les absents ont toujours tort", which means "those absent are always wrong".

He was picked up by a lifeboat. There is no mystery; he had made clear himself multiple times that this is how he was rescued.

Thats because Davidson said so himself. This whole thing is a clickbait

You're way better than you give yourself credit for. Those demos trounce the AI.

A better metric than income inequality would be the standard of living of the poorest. If everyone has access to medical care, housing, and education, does it really matter if some people have more on their bank account?

I wish I had read your comment when I was 15! Spot on!

I suggest you read the EU's press release. I don't understand how anyone could side with Apple on this. Link: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_...

For this to catch on it needs to have a Chrome app - that's the only way employers let you use a password manager
