   I agree, classic innovator's dilemma. It's a new business enterprise, has nothing to do with Meta's existing business or products. They can't be under the same roof and mush have independent goals.

   Great post and I think this extends to machine learning names, although not that severe. Maybe it all started with Adam. When I say “I used Adam for optimization” this means I used a random opaque thing for optimization. If I say “I used an

   I think doing your research using search engine/AI/books and paraphrasing your findings is always valuable. And you should cite your resources when you do so, eg. “ChatGPT says that…” > 1. If I wanted to run a web search, I wou

   For Flash vs iPhone case, it was indeed mostly politics. People were using Flash and other plugins in websites because there were no other alternative, say to add a video player or an animation. iPhone was released in 2007 and app store in

   That seems like a valid problem that was also mentioned in the podcast. 50 copies of Ilya, Dave or Einstein will have diminishing returns. I think the proposed solution is ongoing training and making them individuals. MS Dave will be a diff

    As a Turkish person I used to agree with you. Not anymore. My people don't want to be associated with an ugly bird and I respect that. Also we don't want an exception. We're ready to use Bharat, Deutschland or any other name

    This is exactly what I mean by anthropocentric thinking. Plants talk plant things and cows talk about cow issues. Maybe there are alien cows in some planet with larger brains and can do advanced physics in their moo language. Or some giant

    This is one of the last bastions of anthropocentric thinking. I hope this will change in this century. I believe even plants are capable of communication. Everything that changes over time or space can be a signal. And most organisms can ge

    We created our own letters and our own rules. In 1928, long before code pages and computers. The assumption that letters come in universal pairs is wrong. That assumption is the bug. You can’t assume that capitalization rules must be the sa

    Nope, we decided to do it the correct and logical way for our alphabet. Some glyphs are either dotted or dotless. So, we have Iı, İi, Oo, Öö, Uu, Üü, Cc, Çç, Ss and Şş. You see the Ii pair is actually the odd one in the series. Also, we don

    I believe this is the correct way of seeing things. We may not need a killer app though, since AI is not a platform but a core technology. It’s more about the evolution of IT infrastructure and SW systems. Non-tech companies/people don

    Correct. This actually falsifies OP's argument. Compared to OP's list from 2 years ago [1] ChatGPT omits ".search" but it says it's not a TLD anymore. GPT also finds 2 near misses, picture(s) and code(s). It does th

    I don't think it's about money, they don't invest anything. They gather data about "technical talent" working on AI related ideas. They will connect with 15 of these people to see if they can build it together.

    Not necessarily. They can generate letters, tokens, or words in any order. They can even write them all at once like they do in a diffusion model. Next token generation (auto-reggresion) is just a design choice of GPT, mostly for practical
