By "composability" I mean you'd be able to train models separately and then perhaps slightly refine the composed model as a whole on the final task(s). And models would be using each other's outputs, sort of like today y

At this point I think just having the composability without the compactness would be a major breakthrough. Heck, even just figuring out how to efficiently harness multimodal inputs or better handle inputs that vary over time (e.g. video) wo

I'd be OK with it losing share to others. Currently the situation sucks: you have very few alternatives when shopping online. That is not a normal situation in any kind of a "competitive" economy. I'd go further, and bre

It's not even a question. We're long overdue to exit online and return back to the real world. It's a struggle but it's doable. Meet other real people IRL. Go to bars and shows. Have sex instead of watching porn. Marry.

Cannabis was found to be "helpful" also. There are papers on that. I suppose the mechanism is the same - reduce cortisol caused by some underlying stress by turning off the brain from time to time, and get people to sleep more.
