Ask and ye shall receive: “Based in part on his work with Hinton, Sutskever was hired by Google. There, he implemented a neural-network-driven approach to language translation that produced fewer errors than competing efforts. His work prov

A business duty to comply with the law is not a rhetorical appeal to authority, it is a fact. Ask the accountant who wrote the check to the CNIL for the most recent cookie fine what they think.

Coerced consent for non-essential functions is illegal in many places, and that’s number is rapidly growing.

Some of the key people behind translate founded OpenAI. Don’t forget it’s always been about the people, not the brand. Google was good at attracting and retaining the best and brightest. Now they aren’t.

I tuned into the livestream for a minute and they were just demoing things I’ve been using in GPT for months. They’re playing catch-up, it’s boring.

It’s just a back door to obtaining “consent” for tracking and to leverage other data about you for ads.

Honestly one thing that worries me the most is the biggest applications of AI at scale so far are to manipulate humans to click on things (ads). Google has been using this stuff for years, OpenAI has done the world a great service by openin

100% agree and that’s what I use it for. My point is more it’s a time saver, but not a replacement for higher order operations. Yet.

Intent worries me less! It’s the PHP days all over again - lots of new coders (good thing!), copying insecure code (VERY bad thing!), and it won’t end well.

A) awesome username, b) I love my work and hired somebody who also loves the work. I told them explicitly up front this is a relationship based on the capitalist structure we live in and to keep an eye out for better pay but to give me a ch

It’s amazing for prototypes and writing utility functions, but for fully scalable and supportable architecture it’s a long ways off. Likewise, it often generates very complex and confusing code - specifically regex in my experience where I

On top of no generally available API, GPT-4 in ChatGPT is really damn slow right now. Unless you have a special deal (Microsoft) the only performant option is 3.5-turbo. In my experience for coding and text summarization it’s totally fine w

I’ve been using it a lot for programming, but I also have a security background and it will often generate insecure code. I’ll point it out and tell it to fix and it will. So be careful if you don’t want AI-generated sql intentions!

“We have a thing that is arcane and hasn’t taken off with the public so don’t make a new one” isn’t exactly a stellar argument. The only winning move is to onboard users and given hundreds of millions of people may be looking to leave Twitt

Pretty sure a nontrivial percentage of peoples smartphones have that many thumbnails for the photo gallery app alone. Anybody who has had a smartphone for a decade likely has at minimum 10k photos in their cloud locker with local thumbnail.

Y’all are doing amazing work and bsky is a joy to use and I’m really excited for the technical journey. I’m guessing with more success will come more haters unfortunately. :-/

A truly alien intelligence would likely have a different type of experience of reality. Be it a fish, a mouse, a person, or a machine. How do you know a fish is happy? Does a snake experience joy? Do mice get nostalgic? I have no idea.

My favorite line: “Our overall procedure is quite compute intensive.” Should that be measured in number of nuclear power plants needed to run the computation? Or like, fractions of a small star’s output?

Based on how they optimized it and most people’s needs it is totally sufficient. I got more in mind, but if your computing needs are checking your email and editing word files, it’s fine.

Agree, I just think it’s a sad reflection of where we ended up both tech industry in general and societally as well. The local cafe is now a Starbucks, your bank is now part of JPM, your favorite utility software just got acquired and kille

Hard disagree, counter point being Nintendo. They make pure entertainment devices, Apple may also be in that market, but nobody is running Excel on a Switch.

It’s fine to have a rational disagreement about systems design and deployment, but this borders on paranoid screed. Just because you don’t like something and other people do doesn’t mean it’s a scam.

“Apple sells consumer entertainment systems” So you’ve never seen anybody write code on a Mac?

100%. Google Home has its share of issues, but Assistant and Siri don’t exist in the same universe. Siri is just kinda sad tbh.
