Modernism is ubiquitous. Likely your furniture, computers, cars, and home architecture are heavily modernist unless you explicitly seek out classical stuff. Modernism is obsessed with truth and optimization, evolving toward an apex. Computi

Looks like you define a form declaratively, and write the handler function, and the platform generates a UI from your form description and calls your handler when the user submits the form. Super similar to how airplane.dev got started.

That is incredible, thanks for the link! It kind of reminds me of the invention of the music synthesizer. Suddenly you could create any sound, fluidly and interactively.

I agree in principle, it's just that the level of expressed worry doesn't seem to match reality. Currently we have no reasonable path to 'scary AGI'. It's some yet newfangled tech we haven't discovered. As an e

Nah, they're getting visibility from the topic of 'AI risk'. I don't know who those people are but this AI risk hype is everywhere I look including in congressional hearings.

I don't think this is just another bubble about to burst. I mean, the bubble bears have been talking about the imminently bursting bubble since 2016. The past couple years are what that burst bubble looks like. Hype-driven companies go

What about “her emails”, Comey’s announcement, the Kavanaugh background check/tip line, the Durham investigation? Not to mention that every FBI chief has been a republican and the current DOJ and FBI chiefs are both republicans with f

What’s their political allegiance? I can come up with a half dozen purposely screwed up or super shady recent FBI/DOJ investigations toward either political party.

Your comment should be pointed at RFK Jr., who believes vaccines cause autism, among other disproved nonsense.

I keep seeing AI leaders looking outward and asking for 'someone else' to regulate their efforts, while they're accelerating the pace of their efforts. What's the charitable interpretation here? Elon Musk, too, has been

The prospect that this type of tech could proliferate is politicians' and political media's worst nightmare lol. Imagine everyone putting a boring filter on CNN, Fox News, and political Twitter. Politicians would have to run on po

Maybe it could also use the LLM to rank the articles by essential importance or impact.

This is an important point, although I think incentives don't align at all for OpenAI to close their APIs.
230.
by shrimpx 3y ago
That's true. My thought was they're still 'open', in an important way, even though it's not the open source way. If they were smart they'd adopt my interpretation in their PR materials.

Yeah, Google hopped on the bandwagon. Glad to see a PaLM API.

I think the strong connotation of the word "open" in the software community comes from "open source". If OSS was called "great new source" and a new closed source company called itself GreatNewAI you'd hav

by shrimpx 3y ago
Btw I've arrived at a different interpretation of the "Open" in OpenAI. It's open in the sense that the generic LLM is exposed via an API, allowing companies to build anything they want on top. Companies like Google have

Seems like OpenAI is grasping at straws trying to make GPT "go meta". Reminds me of this Sam Altman quote from 2019: "We have made a soft promise to investors that once we build this sort-of generally intelligent system, basi

I believe AI could make exponentially better AI but do we have any evidence that this is likely, or could happen soon? Sounding alarm bells with no understanding of how likely it is seems irresponsible.
