Everyone, collectively, stop thinking about neural networks too 'hard'. Whilst you're at it stop doing maths too!

Your point is a tautology. The actual point being made is about changing circumstances affecting large swathes of society which may mean an increased possibility of worsening circumstances for said humans. Not that it will mean humans are n

The core issue is that AI is taking away, or will take away, or threatens to take away, experiences and activities that humans would WANT to do. Things that give them meaning and many of these are tied to earning money and producing value f

Do what makes you happy? Comment's like these ignore the reality of life for the vast majority of people. Being 'free' enough to say that is a very privileged position to be in. But do take a care and consider others less for

Alarming normalisation. Issues I see off the top of my head: - Governments can now learn even more about you when they confiscate your device. - Devices confiscated at airports provide a full history of you. - Privacy issues: will my conver

He is lamenting the tech in a similar manner to lamenting social media. Social media is also 'tech', and yet I don't think we could poor quite enough scorn on it, it deserves more! I understand the qualities of LLM's but

Imagine a multi-modal model with 1000's of tokens per second. Realtime inference for a host of applications. This is a BIG deal and will change the landscape in unfathomable ways. The https://chatjimmy.ai demo was impressiv

I agree the bottom line ROI largely isn't there and won't be in the future either. The upside for companies is not the bottom line but the potential savings from hiring fewer developers or cutting jobs. As AI based development pro

Economics drives behaviour more than people think. Your employer cares about results. It's 'YOLO, LGTM' all the way down now.
