Or we could invest in a ton of other non AI related research we're underinvesting in.

That's training during training. They can't learn afterwards.

It's worse. It's in Google's interest to auction ad spots at the highest price. That's it. Nothing else matters. The content needs to be vaguely legal, the quality or any other product feature doesn't matter. Anothe

I forget that, too. But if my partner tells me they're allergic to shellfish, I'm not going to order oysters for them tonight. See the difference?

In my experience all those claims are false. So the next step is to ask for evidence and ideally independent and peer reviewed research.

Latin, not Sanskrit. Heck, ask ChatGPT where the name comes from :-)

It's basically impossible to pick a word that doesn't mean something unintended in 20+ major languages in the world. The recent OpenAI model names are obviously based on Latin: Luna (Moon), Terra (Earth), Sol (Sun), Astra (Star).

Yet I can't randomly order another person to steal a car for me, just because I tell them to. Alignment for an intelligent system is a hard problem and at this stage is seems close to unsolvable. My guess is that we'll just ignore

Brilliant. We keep pretending LLMs learn. No, they're smart idiots/stupid geniuses. They're turn based intelligence in a real time world. 1. Each time someone talks to me they don't have to repeat the entire conversation

Ummm... GenZ have mostly grown with mobile apps, which are generally not JS.

This is fine, but software also needs maintenance, especially security updates. If we have an explosion of new software without the corresponding increase in maintenance work - very likely from clients that pay peanuts for software - the wo

I know they're trying. Trying is not the same as succeeding, which was my point.

What forges are we talking about here? None of them have Github competitors.

Like Uber replaced all drivers with self driving cars [1] in its 20 years of operation? Just because I want to paint the moon pink, doesn't mean it's feasible. [1] If anything, Waymo has a higher chance and global Waymo adoption i

DMCA? Which is actually an American law enforced globally? Enforcement ultimately happens through law and the legal system.

That's assuming absolutely 0 cost for reviewing and merging what ultimately are low value PRs.

by oblio 1mo ago
There can be a point of divergence when even humans can't merge things anymore, so I highly doubt that experience is universal.

by oblio 1mo ago
Scale matters. If people do it, it's maybe 10 PRs like that per month. With AI there could be hundreds per day.
