IMO it's so easy to ChatGPT your homework that the whole education model needs to flip on its head. Some teachers already do something like this, it's called the "Flipped classroom" approach. Basically, a student's

I think the tricky bit is that AI companies make money off the collected works of artists, regardless of user behaviour. Suppose I pay for an image generator because I like making funny pictures in Ghibli style, then the AI company makes mo

Not trying to be sassy but what definition of AGI are you using? I've never seen a concrete goal, just vague stuff like "better than humans at a wide range of tasks." Depending on which tasks you include and what percentage o

Is there someone you're trying to disprove? LLMs are inherently statistical, as opposed to other techniques that rely on symbolic or logical relationships. I'm no expert but this is one of the very first things I learned when taki

I know nothing about this topic. How crazy is it to cover the cables with passive sonar and detect damage threats? How much crazier is it to create a sufficient number of undersea drones that can prevent damage before it happens? Maybe mano

This is what I meant in my comment. The seller needs to know what the buyer wants, maybe its a big bulk discount or an extra feature. If the seller decides the discount is too steep, or the extra feature doesn't fit with the road map,

Speciation would happen over hundreds or thousands of years. I doubt the notion of first world countries will outlast that time frame, even more so the 100% reproduction opportunity. Isolated populations could come from space colonies, geog
