Yes, pretty much, but stopping at the cpu level (about the first half of the course).

I appreciate the grammar refresher, but my comment was about a monopoly on AI being very unlikely rather than it being an ontological impossibility. What am I missing? Why should we be concerned about AI leading to a monopoly? And for which

What monopoly? What I'm seeing over these last 3 years is the fastest and fiercest competition I could imagine.

While I'm as cynical as anyone, for what it's worth, it seems to me that such deceleration is broadly in line with their founding charter, where they wrote: > We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competi

You're making this very dichotomous, but I'm not convinced. Why shouldn't there be a way to bring issues to the parliament's attention without private money? For example, while flawed, the EU's Citizens' Initia

I don't get the argument. It sounds to me like you're saying that because my own chess skills are insufficient to allow me to have a proper game with a grandmaster and I end up losing on move 10 because after a stupid blunder, the

But it's not the same thing. I went through this conversation between Terry Tao and ChatGPT about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample [0] and it looks a lot more like a conversation between peers than him using a tool. [0] https:&#

But the thing with "pure" math, is that it can unexpectedly get adulterated by debased concerns such as enabling cryptography for the world economy.

I'm not a grifter and am not looking to use this for anything myself, but I just found myself nerdsniped to get Codex to reproduce this, and had it also write it up as a skill - https://droptext.cc/9jfbn

Sorry, I couldn't resist and just got Codex to replicate this for me as an OCR-d page on top of an AI-generated image - https://jsfiddle.net/wmLvojr7/

But the underlying table changed since. I'm not very familiar with these myself, but it seams to me that the best solution is to keep a session cursor for the user, and these are a lot simpler when you only ever move it forward.

What do you mean? Are you arguing that it's impossible to fully translate things? Would you argue that "apple", "manzana", "pomme", "mela", "maçã" etc. all refer to different ideas?

I don't understand what trust means in this context. Even if I were able to hire Donald Knuth to write all my code, I wouldn't "trust" it to be bug-free, let alone to be the right fit for my needs.

It sounds like you're fully agreeing with me that it has pretty much nothing to do with the value of the employees and essentially everything with how the employees no longer fit the company's plans.

Yeah, I never got Minority Report's focus on punishment. If it was a crime of passion that was prevented and will non be attempted again (according to their predictive powers) why is a punishment needed?
