I am a physicist and I contribute to the development of an open-source, massively parallel simulation code. Writing code is maybe 10-15% of my working time. I code without AI because I find it more interesting: who enjoys reviewing AI-gener

LoL! What could go wrong? This strategy worked so well with all the other industries...

It's really sad to see what was taken away from people who loved the art of programming and are now forced to be managers of an army of robots. Maybe finding some time to code without AI assistance could help to alleviate the pain. Rel

I would add that the public is increasingly concerned about AI progress, which will put a growing pressure on lawmakers.

I think that more people are finally realizing that the best plan of major AI companies sounds more or less like: - We'll build an AGI able to perform most cognitive tasks at least at human level (including, of course, the most fulfill

I think that media coverage simply reflects the growing anxiety among the public about the capabilities of new models and what future awaits us. Personally, I think that this anxiety is justified. If this leads to tough regulations about A

Last week, maybe? Yesterday, if you count small python scripts. Writing code by hand is too much fun to stop.

I hope that the Chinese leadership (and the rest of the world, as this is happening everywhere) that all this is not in the best interest of humanity.

AI progress is linked to most of these dangers, actually: - it will likely cause massive unemployment, leading to rampant wealth inequality - we are now seeing some use of autonomous weapons in real conflicts - increasingly relying on LLMs

It will be too late by then! At the very least, an immediate pause of the training of frontier AI models is necessary to figure things out. Personally, I am not particularly thrilled to rush into the bleak future that few AI companies have

I think that we are speed-running towards a future that very few people really want, and I find it terrifying that few companies feel entitled to choose this future for the rest of us. Some of the arguments in this document would call for

By googling "4x4 matrices multiplication 48" I ended up on this discussion on math.stackexchange https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/578342/number-of-el... , where in 2019 someone stated "It is
