If you do work in AI you're not worried about AGI, period. It's fine that the average layman feels like they're in Terminator but anyone who's written and trained models knows that it's just silly. We shouldn't

No. In situations like this the best you can hope for is that his incentives aren't at odds with the rest of humanity.

I feel like one unspoken Western principle is that youth is the most desirable thing. You see this in the countless TV shows/movies set in high schools or colleges, the age distribution of influencers, etc. And I feel that our cultur

I'm in the same boat and also find that having a good goal can alleviate some of the pains of ADHD. In my case I like to set goals that I can easily visualize and associate with a tangible outcome. That way when I get off track, I can

Julia:Python::RISC:CISC imo. The first example that comes to mind is that in Python, you'd write: `A = [ x for x in range(10) if not isprime(x) ]` In Julia, you'd instead write: `A = [ x for x in 0:10 if !isprime(x) ]` It feels li

If I'm feeling romantic I think about a universal 'you' separate from the person that is referred to and is addressed by every usage of the word - a sort of ghost in the shell that exists in language. But really, it's pr

I think everything apps are actually sort of a logical conclusion for HCI. The one that my job uses has redundancies everywhere, i.e. a global search bar, multiple links to the same page spread across the website, etc. It's very disorg

Transformers originally were made for language translation. So the way I think about it, GPT models translate questions to answers. Hence the hallucinations - some questions can't be answered by just associative reasoning and pattern m

I find it so utterly silly that they need an army of people to make the AI usable - wasn't the whole point that an AI could replace an army of people?

The solution is to call it what it is - mental illness - and treat it as such. Being a grammar nazi is one thing, but editing quotes to match a language that stopped evolving in the 1970s definitely oversteps the bound between quirky and ac

The reality is, that Hindus put up with a lot already. Most of us are pretty tolerant, despite what you may believe. Or how many times have you eaten a hamburger and had someone rebuke you for it in public? This stuff really bothers us and

I've thought about pattern matching NN weights against known graph structures. I'd imagine, for example, that decision trees emerge at some point in GPT. The real problem IMO is our ability to represent natural concepts as such gr

I honestly don't think neural networks ingesting terabytes of data are the future of AI. In principle, these are all engineering problems that can be solved by advances in few-shot learning. Once you can train a model for a task with o

I don't understand how these things are connected. The market being free doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the customer is satisfied - take telecom in the U.S. for example. Competition is sparse and nobody is satis

Having more ads and monetizing the API aren't mutually exclusive. Look at the avatar/award system for example, which evolved in tandem with dark patterns that push the user to the app where they can serve unblockable ads.

I think you would end up simulating a childhood, society, cultural history, etc, - basically a human world - if you want to develop a human intelligence. I feel like this is an even harder problem than simulating a brain by itself.

In the popular T.V. anthology American Horror Story, Steve Jobs is shown to be conversing with aliens in a UFO. I thought that was a really apt and funny depiction given how advanced Apple's tech is. Though the vision and leadership th
