I thought he was reinstated because the OpenAI employees imagined themselves as about to get rather rich and saw any sort of self-reflection as a possible threat to that dream.

That somebody is simply gone. It doesn't make sense to view it any other way. It's not a disturbing view. However, as long as the affected person is not capable of suffering anymore it is fully up to the family to decide what they

Sure, for a few countries (perhaps Brazil, India, China). That is not really related to technological progress but to economical development in those countries, though. Everyone else either had that access (Europe, Australia, Japan, even Ru

There is simply no indication that any of the AI anyone is currently working on could possibly be dangerous in any way (other than having an impact on society in terms of fake news, jobs etc.). We are very far from that. In any case, it wou

I agree, except for the OpenAI part. These subscriptions are currently much cheaper than labor - about 100x even for poorly paid jobs - and so there is simply not that much value to capture in terms of total size of the economy. In other wo

Even though you are not even trying to construct any kind of coherent argument, let me respond with an article by a computer scientist that you apparently so much despise: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/1&

One problem is that many industry companies (almost anyone doing engines, vehicles, airplanes) is likely to at least do some military products, too. It may be as simple, for example, as wanting to have an LLM assistant in a CAD tool for dev

Could still be copy-pasted. How about a brain implant that captures and outputs thoughts with a signed hash? Not that I would like to see that future.

But „the focus of archaeological research and academic consensus“ is unrelated to such a broad statement on a supposedly eurocentric view. It‘s like saying we just discovered a new planet last year, very surprisingly, considering the fact t

How does the researcher know what view „we“ have? The article should omit this statement.

But in the browser the browser interacts with it anyway. It‘s not like the app would run in a repl and now doesn‘t. There is no meaningful difference in this case, even less so if hot reloading is used.

Many of these libraries cannot have meaningful vulnerabilities. What‘s a possible vulnerability in lodash that can be exploited without already being able to inject code? Furthermore, any vulnerability in a dependency could also exist in co

Could ChatGPT have invented this product? Demoed it? Produced it? No? Maybe ChatGPT with Atlas? Still not? Well that‘s how far we are from actual AI replacing work in a meaningful way.

They don‘t start if they use complex frameworks, many dependencies, don‘t use lock files, don‘t lock their package manager and don‘t lock nodeJS and don‘t use Docker. If they use plain TypeScript and plain React, have a lock file, lock thei

TypeScript is simply a much more robust type-safe language and the compiler abstracts away subtle differences between browsers. Likewise React abstracts away subtle differences between browsers. And most applications are far more complex th

I responded to someone who claimed that it broke by itself after 6 months. Lock files prevent this.

by quonn 3y ago
How is that a problem?
292.
by quonn 3y ago
That‘s why there is a lock file. The package manager and node version can likewise be locked.

by quonn 3y ago
Dependency management is an unrelated issue and it exists for any platform. Unless you copy paste code or unless you just avoid dependencies. Which is easy to do in TypeScript as well. Nobody says you need to install hundreds of packages.

by quonn 3y ago
So what's the problem with a bundler/transpiler etc? You set it up once. It takes a few hours, maybe a day. Then your platform _is_ TypeScript + React. This abstraction basically never leaks. I never need to look at the transpiled

If your job does not stay relevant then a large number of other jobs will not stay relevant either. This would impact consumption and therefore also negatively impact those stocks. Unless, of course, political steps are taken, in which case

It's not good for anyone, since it causes people to give up on any meaningful improvements. Furthermore it's probably wrong, too. Just after my mom finished school, some people were talking about how the number of diabetics is rap

We don‘t know their personal motivation. They may very well dislike AI.

That seems like an opinion from within the tech bubble. There is a vast world outside and most people and companies have a completely different perspective.

There is a robots.txt. If this mechanism would not exist, I would argue that the publishers have a case regarding Google (they are trying). But it does exist and so they shouldn‘t.

No, this is just not correct. Being a superpower requires, at a minimum, being able to win a conventional war with a state lacking nuclear weapons. The reason for that is that nuclear weapons cannot actually be used in practice. They can on
