The open-sourcing of the X's feed algorithm is a typical Musk's smokescreen. First, while the code was open sourced, the configs and data that determines its behavior wasn't. Any researcher that has some knowledge of the matt

That's the kind of products Palantir develops, but is it confirmed that they developed Lavender and "Where's Daddy"?

Are we supposed to believe in the usefulness of AI as if it was a matter of belief? The one and only Matrix to come?

Great points! The only thing I'd add: I don't think the responsibility for lack of automation is solely on these other industries. To develop this kind of automation, they need funds and IT experts, but (i) they don't have fu

You're comparing a satirical video from 2015 with a 2024 marketing video... Not exactly a fair comparison...

There is a difference you neglected: nobody optimizes our society to eat less vegetables, or read less books, or to disregard new year's resolutions, so the responsibility is on us, whereas social media platforms do optimize for engage

Maybe you and me are not like that, but most iPhone users are like that and that's what Apple wanted from the start (to artificially discriminate for the good of their business)?

It sounds to me the exact opposite. Apple's bad-faith compliance will backfire. Enough of this.

I bet OpenAI and MS do the same, but people have a positive perception of them due to the massive chatGPT hype wave.

The board had the right non-profit long-term focus, but it didn't have the willpower to communicate and realize their vision. Ilya is a wonderful scientist, but not a great leader.

I think they didn't anticipate sucha a large backlash, especially from investors. They felt the backlash threatens OpenAI, both its non-profit and for-profit arms, so they reverted their decision, which in my opinion was a mistake, but

I don't think it's that crazy if you trust the government to use these capabilities in the intended ways, that is to catch serious crimes. The US is a very specific country, because here people have very low trust in government an

Are you advocating for normalization of mistakes and bad driving practices? If self-driving corresponds to bad drivers, then is it useful?

by pms 3y ago
If self-driving cars are really safer than human drivers, then tech companies need to prove it by releasing more data than necessary, rather than less. Why won't they release sufficient data instead of forcing the city to gather their

They are required to report every accident, but not every mile these cars drive and in what conditions, so this data is unfortunately insufficient to make valid comparisons with human drivers... Really, the problem is the transparency of te

by pms 3y ago
Sounds like an extremely arrogant and biased comment showing the blind righteousness of tech and its followers. How else can tech build trust with the public than via transparency? Think about this for a moment.

I didn't make that assumption. I'm just saying that overpromising and underdelivering, due to a lack of a broad understanding of AI research, can backfire, create distrust, and in the end slow science down, e.g., lead to another

In AI research, the acronym XAI stands for eXplainable AI [1]. To understand anything about the universe, AI will need to (i) make accurate predictions about some parts of the universe and (ii) explain the laws and the models it used to mak

When I was first reading about Musk, 12 years ago, I was extremely impressed, to the point of being ready to invest in Tesla and SolarCity. However, when Elon entered the AI space about 7 years ago it became clear to me that: (i) he is ente

Formal verification research is conducted since 30+ years and LLMs aren't really good at math and logic, so based on what grounds can we expect a breakthrough in machine guided proofs anytime soon?

by pms 3y ago
So how will we know that it did?

Not just r/science. The hard part is that this logic applies also to "word/science" and to "world/society", and that this issue of belief confirmation will deepen until we learn to sufficiently value pub

You're fooling yourself to think that Tesla is the solution. First, most of the fatalities are in cars that cost much much less than Tesla. Their owners will never afford a Tesla. Second, the only realistic way to prevent some of these
