they speak in generalities because the models are profoundly general, a general learning system. below someone asked me to list the capabilities, its the wrong question to ask. its like asking what a baby can do

its a problem of imagination, "situational awareness". People are simply not aware of what we have discovered, their minds cannot see beyond a chatbox. thats not even to mention the smoothness of the loss functions the big ai labs

i mean, if given the choice between using a coding agent like the codex ui, or a CS intern, I would take the coding agent every time. to me its self evident whats going on

they didnt have the compute or the data to make use of NNs. but theoretically NNs made sense even back then, and many people thought they could give rise to intelligent machines. they were probably right, and its a shame they didnt live to

again, only a few years ago, the concept of a real time voice conversation with a computer was straight out of science fiction

the difference is the impact of crypto was always hypothetical, chatgpt can be used, explored, and if you are creative enough, levered in ways as the ultimate tool

see i was thinking my comments didnt go far enough in describing what we are witnessing
279.
by mikert89 1y ago
the real innovation is that neural networks are generalized learning machines. LLMs are neural networks on human language. The implications of world models + LLMs will take them farther

yeah we have fuzzy computer interfaces now, instead of "hard coded" apis.

think bigger, because this certainly is. change on the order of years means nothing

anyone mentioning a bubble is underestimating the gravity of whats going on
283.
by mikert89 1y ago
who cares about a bubble? we are on the cusp of intelligent machines. The implications will last for hundreds of years, maybe impact the trajectory of humanity

dude again, we have computers that can talk and make decisions. We have birthed something here. We have something, this is big.

by mikert89 1y ago
how could i even begin to list them, is the point of my original comment
286.
by mikert89 1y ago
I cant believe people still arent grasping the profound implications of computers that can talk and make decisions.

When can people start going to jail for this kind of thing

theres actually almost zero clarity around the common ancestor between apes and humans, and a lot of speculation that the common ancestor lived 6-8 million years ago.
291.
by mikert89 1y ago
Because we are farther way on the evolutionary tree then is commonly thought, there is a tree of common ancestors going much further back (5 million or more years) that links humans with monkeys

Out of africa is basically false, there were decently advanced walking hominids in asia a long time ago. Then they migrated west, africa was the origination, but that origination was not the ~50k years ago like was frequently claimed

If you find mentors, or just pay people 200 an hour to meet once a week, a lot could be learned. I agree the gap is large, but it can be overcome

nah I have been in the venture scene in nyc for a while, have seen the same song and dance play out over and over

most of the recent series A ai companies are YC companies, they are absolutely crushing it

There is a non tangible level of status that comes with being CEO of a profitable startup. People dont know but it helps in both dating life and social situations. After the startup, employers consider the CEO the guy that was responsible f

by mikert89 1y ago
Maybe, but there are levels to the game. The CEO has legal rights to fire cofounders, often with the board on their side. Early stage this doesnt get exercised often. But when the CTO has ten million of equity to vest over two more years, q
