It’s a very low risk and low effort plan, even if it fails it’s fine. To be contrasted with all the AI players accumulating costs and risks for the AI rollout

Because Siri didn’t seem to change over time. If they worked on it over the past decade it’s not to the point where it was visible to users.

Yep. I will never understand why none of their competitors follow that strategy. It’s good we have first movers ready to take some risk Apple has shown over and over again how well their approach to product works. Wait for the market to be

Reminder to wait a couple of months before upgrading macOS! Every single time issues are found after a new macOS version, give it a little bit of time before jumping right away on your work machine :)

What does MEPs mean in that context?

It’s for sure not too late, why would it be? The industry is young and evolving. It’s not even clear what an AI job is exactly, the definition and job titles have been changing a lot

That’s an advantage, not a moat

They didn’t invest in Siri and became the most valuable company in history. I don’t think Siri being better would have mattered much to be honest. Not joining the financial black hole that is AI training seems to have benefited them well so

They are true believers. Terrible philosophers but true AI believers

I guess you haven’t yet read Amodei’s essays? There is a significant overlap between the early SF AI scene and LessWrong contributors. That comes directly from the top, look at Anthropic leadership

Was that also the case before AI? Or is it novel?

by dgellow 27d ago
Have we already seen that impact? Or is it speculative? Because the speculative part is discussed all the time

Apple “genius” has been to accept their plan A failed (the original Apple Intelligence), and instead of doubling down, let the others explore the space, then offer a good interface (I say that, I haven’t seen if it’s actually good). So many

They don’t need to run their own DCs, just pay for a proxy somewhere in the world that has better access to the infrastructure. We know North Korea has been doing that in the US since years now

They very likely do, we only see in the news a very few events but you should assume it’s happening daily across the internet

Both? I’m not sure what distinction you’re trying to make. It was completely irresponsible and likely a felony

I agree, but because I want to see the development stopped forever, which is what the result of this would be. You will never have alignment that cannot be overridden in some ways. You won’t have a silver bullet here, you need safety at eve

Yes, for sure. And with hindsight a lot of things would be done differently. I’m still really impressed by most of win32 given it was designed at a time where the software and hardware landscape looked so different from what we have today.

Trying to learn electronics from the bottom up, currently going through „Practical Electronics for Inventors“ (4th ed.). Great book, but not really as practical as the title implies, the base theory chapter is really, really long (but also

That’s all nice, but what does that have to do with the article?

It’s actually insane that we accept a product that bullies us. They are tools and should act as so

Yeah, it’s crazy how fast things have changed in a month. I couldn’t find a more recent replication or similar study but it would be interesting to see it done with the current frontiers. Though I don’t think that would change much about th
