Presumably that is exactly when their taxi service rolls out? While this has a dramatic rhetorical flourish, I don’t think it’s a good proxy. Even if it was safer, it would be an unnecessarily high burden to clear. You’d be effectively wri

LLM as a term is becoming quite broad; a multi-modal transformer-based model with function calling / ReAct finetuning still gets called an LLM, but this scaffolding might be all that’s needed. I’d be extremely surprised if AI recapitul

Sometimes it is more narrowly scoped as “… economically valuable knowledge work”. But sure, if you have an un-embodied super-human AGI you should assume that it can figure out a super-human shelf-stocking robot shortly thereafter. We have A

Frankly, what you are describing is a money-printing machine. You should expect anyone who has figured out such a thing to keep it as a trade secret, until the FOSS community figures out and publishes something comparable. I don’t think the

Plenty of undesirable stuff can live in beer. Brettanomyces will make your beer taste phenolic. Lactic Acid Bacteria will sour it (Lactobacillus and Pediococcus are two common contaminants). Oxygenation will gradually make the beer taste li

You can turn GPUs into cash flow but the reverse isn’t guaranteed to be true.

Compute is going to be king in the new world; if you have enough GPUs you can spam legal challenges. If you have more GPUs you can deploy those to take the other side and defend. As with DoS, the interesting cases will be where an asymmetry

What data are you using to back up this belief? Progress on benchmarks continues to improve (see GPT-o1). The claim that there is nothing left to train on is objectively false. The big guys are building synthetic training sets, moving to mu

The better reason to stop taking Altman at his word is on the subject of OpenAI building AGI “for the benefit of humanity”. Now that he’s restructuring the company to be a normal for-profit corp, with a handsome equity award for him, we sho

This argument simply asserts that the LLMs (or their successor systems including scaffolding) will asymptote somewhere below human capabilities. It’s possible that this could happen but you need to propose a mechanism and metric for this ar

Most people with theory of mind can’t trivially solve this problem though. So the test doesn’t disprove ToM in general, just that it memorizes some results.

It takes minutes to find this specific issue in hindsight. It is laughable to claim that you can do a meaningful audit of a codebase in minutes.

The simple way to visualize this is that all the processing can happen within a serializable transaction. If anything fails, the transaction rolls back. Marking the message as delivered is part of the same transaction.

If the danger is coming from the amount of compute invested, then cost of compute is irrelevant. A much better objection to static FLOP thresholds is that as data quality and algorithms increase, you can do a lot more with fewer FLOPs &#x2F

The underlying NotebookLM is doing better at this - each claim in the note cites a block of text in the source. So it’s engineered to be more factually grounded. I would not be surprised if the second pass to generate the podcast style lose

If a malicious model exhilarates its weights to a Chinese datacenter, how do you turn that off? How do you turn off Llama-Omega if it turns out that it can be prompt-hacked into a malicious agent?

This is true but the quality frontier is not a single bar. For mainstream content the bar is high. For super-niche content, I wouldn’t be surprised if NotebookLM already competes with the existing pods. This will be the dynamic of generated

This is a great example. Areas where an expert can write a synthetic data generator (eg code, physics simulators, etc) are the dream scenario here. It seems to me there is a huge amount of unharvested low-hanging fruit here, for example IIU
