Am I the only one who is super skeptical about “AI will take all jobs” tales? I mean LLMs are great tools don’t get me wrong, but how do people extrapolate from LLMs to a world with no more work?

What does that mean?

True… but do reasons matter in that case?

This is awesome! Thank you!! I’m still not sure what 15.3 on the MDS scale can destroy but I am sure the Emperor will be pleased to hear that we are half-way to building the Death Star.

Instead of petawatts I’d love to hear what it can destroy. I imagine a scale like: 1: Mosquito … 10000: Planet (Death Star)

A whale coming out of the street in Manhattan, a women with a Jellyfish belly walking in the woods. Why is it that all these AI concept videos are completely crazy?

Just a side comment to your observation: the principle is called reductionism and has been tried on many fields. Physics is just applied mathematics Chemistry is just applied physics Biology is just applied chemistry It doesn’t work very we

I am definitely not talking about basic science projects. That’s an entirely different beast. And I want it to be well funded. I am talking about projects that should be companies with an intent to make profits.

Can you give brief summary why this paper is a breakthrough for an outsider of the field?

I think we are talking about the same thing to be honest. They have turned something that should be high-risk into something safe with no consequences if there is no progress. Thus there is no progress, because why change things even if we

I agree with everything except for one thing: I think their risk appetite is "u" shaped: low-risk is funded but they’d also fund insane-risk pie-in-the-sky academia dreams where many experts would immediately say that it will neve

I am not sure if I agree. I feel like social media trough its amplification has lead to a global sync in topics and experiences. I’d argue a kid growing up India or China shares much more culturally today with a western Kid than 30 years ag

> Learning by reading LLM output is cheap. Real exercise for your mind comes from building the output yourself. Fully agree. Sorry to say it like that but I thought the post was a bit "whiny". I really like the thought proces

It’s more efficient for us at least. It reduced the number of back and forth on slack/other tools quite a bit.

In my world stand-ups are mainly status, blockers and other ops/admin updates. No functional/topic discussions. If they’re required you schedule those in the standup and decide who participates. No need to expand beyond 15min in t

It’s sad that there seems not be structured research on this topic. Also important to ask people who had children 30-50 years ago why they decided to have children and then to compare to today.

PII data breaches, especially PHI data can lead to high financial losses, mostly in the US through litigation. Fines in the EU are low in comparison. Companies don’t like to talk about this, and they bury these costs deep down in their fina
