This is not "brute-force" though. It's an iterative search algorithm. You learn things at each iteration. You also don't search blindly. You use "something" (heuristics, experience, intuition) to come up with &

It’s interesting that they haven’t declared AGI yet, even as a PR stunt. It can be like a “pre-revenue” tactic. They are pre-AGI so investors can still pour money.

I wonder if it’s a version of Dunning-Kruger effect to call AI models dumb. I haven’t seen a “dumber than me” model since years. Also the smartest people known in the world use them in their fields so I don’t know what is meant by a “too du

That is also what I understand from that page. Autoresearch is the closest thing we (mainstream audience) know of but I am sure there is already an active research literature around it.

I’m not sure this is the story of “British” ice-cream. Unilever is a multinational company headquartered in London. But with their “Heartbrand” strategy they acquired local ice-cream brands and manufacturers and sell the same product line g

Note that the “AI Bubble” term used here is only defined in the context of market speculation. If you are not an investor of AI companies then there is nothing to worry about for you. If you are an investor, then you should know that people

Moreover, Distillation is a misused term here. Distillation means training a smaller student model using a larger teacher model to completely mimic its behavior. As in you take a base model and create its smaller “turbo” version. Like disti

Good point. I remember the discussions when 3D printers first appeared. People were thinking “bad actors” (“terrorists” then) would use them to print weapons. People love to speculate and exaggerate. But they generally have poor judgements

Nvidia CEO had a viral rant about this, implying they don’t really have a moat against China other than Chinese researchers _prefer_ to stay in the CUDA ecosystem. If you force them out then they are capable of building their own chips and

Everyone is talking about banning Chinese models but nobody talks how it is feasible to ban them. I think it’s impossible simply because technically there is no such thing as a “Chinese model”. There is no way to tell apart an “American” mo

> OpenAI's Dean Ball: > One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism... This quote proves me that there are no rational arguments here. It’s just Cold War era mentality. This is the first time

Numbers are for Codex AND ChatGPT Work users. So if a ChatGPT subscriber tries Work tab they must be counted as a new active user. So it’s not like 1M new developers daily.

In 2017 maybe. This chart shows last year’s Neurips accepted papers by country and institution (top 50). What is missing here is that the papers from American institutions also have mostly Chinese authors. Europe is sliding and Singapore ha

One thing all models aced was the costume design. I don’t know why this was the case. Maybe they trained exclusively on lots of fashion data to use models in fashion industry. Filmmaking is inherently an iterative process. You don’t normall

It is actually correct but not in the intended way. Delete all the sample text. If you look at your screen from a distance you'll see a subtle ghost like text on the noise pattern. It says "this is a ghost font".

So is this the end? Are we at that point in time where ordinary people are not allowed to use more advanced models? If so this happened sooner than expected. After that point only priveleged few will access and make use of more advanced AI.

Also lane assist typically activates after 50-60 km/h (35 mph). I like the feature because it helped me develop the habit of always using blinkers. Most modern cars also have cyclist detection and crash prevention. So I believe these f

Good analogy but Brownian motion is not the only type of motion in the nature. Constraints give the direction in a physical system, not humans. Evolution is the best example. I think objections to the Theory of Evolution and some objections
