Well understanding the problem and finding competent people is hard, riding on tool marketing and hiring bootcampers to do as you say is easy.

You're implying that someone who didn't fight is presumably guilty, which is a perverse argument given the immense cost and general toll a legal defense can impose on a person. > If everyone that remotely had the resources to f

It's scary how people immediately side with authorities in these situations. You can lose everything in an instant by getting charged with something nefarious and it just takes a couple of bad cops.

When I see these kinds of arguments I realize how important and how fragile the rule of law is. People jump to conclusions very readily and are easy to whip into a frenzy by malicious authorities.

Transformers have been around for 7 years, ChatGPT for 2. This isn't the first few samples of what could be exponential growth. These are several quarters of overpromise and underdelivery. The chatbot is cool and it outperforms what aw

Novelty grabs people's attention. A system based on the statistical analysis of past content won't do novelty. This seems like a very basic issue to me.

Don't be daft, writing code is not "prompting a compiler". Asking some gen AI to create music is as much of a creative effort as ordering dinner at a restaurant. Are you a chef when you do that?

Fun fact: a "learning curve" was originally statistical evidence of a system getting better at something. It used to indicate that there can be improvement over initial performance when a process is repeated. I find it interesting

The "hallucinations" problem feels to me like an inherent feature. For LLMs to have interesting output the temperature needs to be higher then zero. The whole system is interesting because it is probabilistic. "Hallucinations

The earliest surviving evidence of writing was not baked in antiquity, just dried clay. Some have been baked in the 19th century for preservation. Some of the clay tablets have indeed survived presumably due to fires that burned the buildin
