Now GPT-4 is not fine tuned for medical. Imagine that after all the base training you re-tune only on medical knowledge letting go all the other languages, programing, history, etc. I wonder what results we would get. For sure OpenAI know a

I know, I find it strange that they didn’t make something better way sooner considering the ressource they had: scientists, computing, data, money. It seem to me they prefered to keep it closed, away from the public, the questions, the risk

There is a bundle value in the offering. - editor, marketing, graphics - brand if the value created by the author is worth 1-2$ I don’t think the rest of the work on the actual content is worth more. Leaving much of the rest on the brand. I

They have a window of less than 6 month to create a monopoly before their tech get commoditized. The play is well know: create a marketplace with customers and vendors like Amazon, Facebook, Google. But with GPT-4 training finished last sum

But they are also killing books. Youtube is free, instant, fast. I love books, when people spend their life condensing information and you spend a few hours to get the most important parts, but controlling access more and more mean that boo

The merging of both compiler (cpu and software) is the main reason of the success of Nvidia. Make the chip simpler and more parallel (way more cores) Make the compiler smarter to better use the capabilities of the hardware. Watching Jim Kel

Do what you like, follow your curiosity. Go broad, things are changing fast it’s better to hedge your bets. AI, computers science and robotics will completely change our world in this decade.

Does it? We have fewer and fewer death because of climate (most death of climate is because of cold) We have a proxy war in Ukraine that has nothing to do with climate We have a famine in Sri Lanka that was caused by the green movement Th

I entertain the idea that spirits are real in a similar sense that our consciousness is real. Spirit is an emergent property of humans. When we are angry and vengeful the "spirit" of war is possessing "us". We are not ou

It is intelligence, not unlike us. The biggest difference I see is that it doesn’t have consciousness: the capacity to detach it’s simulation of the world of the present. When we are conscious we jump in a simulation in our head we imagine

Yes we can, but what are those problems, what is the cost involved, what are we willing to sacrifice? There is many other goals that are largely ignored because "climate" is very very popular. I like the work of Bjorn Lomborg on t

My comment was removed because it doesn’t support the current orthodoxy. (and could make people feel bad about their new climate religion) I would be great if the censure applied here would put the comments censored on another page with a l

Complex systems usually tend to equilibrium otherwise they would be in constant oscillation (positive feedback theory). As we look back in ice cores, there is variation, but not constant oscillations witch confirm a self stabilizing system.

Thanks ;) I have no problem with climate action, but the religious tendency is too obvious at this point. Clearly Gretha is our virgin Mary, she is not there because of her knowledge, but because she represent innocence, purity. I think we

We will soon have to accept that we are not special. We are meat based, the new minds are silicon based. They have different strengths and limitations than us, will surpass us in all cognitive abilities soon. Our hardware evolved to help us

I raise you the challenge: create a memeable flaw of chatGPT that won’t be fixed by the beginning of 2024. I’ll do my best on the cancer front ;)

I don’t know what insight we expect of Chomsky at this point. He don’t seem to understand how it’s going and where it’s going. I at this point AI is only limited by our capacity to create memeable flaws. If you can create a criticism of Cha

Lab mice have unnatural long telomeres. That make them far more resistant to damaging pharma (lot’s of cell repair) The downside is they all die of cancer (telomere length is a stop to cell replication)

I am surprised they let ethanol escape and don’t capture it to recycle it. They could put condensers on the ventilation and sell the product for gas or industrial process.
