The thinking appears to be that a model that can do the work of a developer must be worth a significant share of a developer salary. I think this idea is flawed. Developer salaries are driven up by scarcity - scarcity of developer skills ov

Yes, the idea seems to be to force app developers to support transparency so that any future iGlasses device has a good supply of apps from day one (contrary to what happened with Vision Pro). Apple used to insist that different types of de

Depends on what it is you really want to know. For macro economic comparisons you would probably want to use some metric that has "disposable income" in its name. And then you'd have to ask what this income includes. Does it

Who will be funding state of the art local models going forward? AI models are never done or good enough. They will have to be trained on new data and eventually with new model architectures. It will remain an expensive exercise. I could be

MS SQL Server was forked from Sybase in 1993. Not sure how much the code had diverged by 2000. Informix was also a contender back then.

Right, but it shows their mindset. They're not letting China comparisons stop them from doing anything. It's not about the technology. In their mind, it's about the purpose and the legitimacy of any censorship.

I think they are questioning whether human feedback is even necessary to make progress, i.e. whether the premise that RL needs to be RLHF is true. My (limited) understanding is that LLMs are not capable of escaping their learned distributio

I'm not opposed to AI generated text in principle. But not knowing how it was written is problematic, because it can change the meaning of the text. Take this paragraph for instance: "From my experience building and scaling teams
