That explain things. That’s … silly.
When I will write my 64bits RISC-V code paths (or "port" from x86_64/arm64 assembly), I'll use a simple RISC-V assembler with a conservative usage of a macro preprocessor.

Those same assembly written code paths, will probably run from mobile to server (small self-hosted and datacenter) via the desktop.

And planned obsolescence from computer language syntaxes (ISO or compiler extensions), compiler (open source or not) vendor lock-in by size and complexity will be nightmares frome the past.

And I'll have a much higher feeling of freedom.

That depends on what service they represent. Those who provide critical services (garbage removal, truck drivers, police, utilities, healthcare, grocery store workers) may make their absence felt very quickly. Also, anyone able to block a key element in a longer supply chain can cause a lot of damage quickly.

It's all about the ability to completely paralyze access to something essential. Let's say every employee at every data center in the US were striking belonged to the same union, and all went on strike at the same time, shutting down all hardware and staying on site to prevent anyone from turning it back on.

The effect would be instant and catastrophic. If there was no way to bring them back, society would collapse in days or hours. Most likely, the police would be used against them (like it was against factory workers in the early 1900s).

It's all about how coordinated, ruthless and willing to risk ignoring the wrath of the employers and government the unions are, as well as how much support they have from the general population.

Not that I'm expecting something this extreme anytime soon. It's more of an illustation of how powerful a strike can be, if taken to he maximum. Since around WW2, strikes have become more of a ritualistic dance, with rules for how far to take the conflict.

Such rules sometimes change, though. And the willingness to escalate conflicts seem to be on the rise.

> If anything, it seems that increased unionization lags behind inflation.

Anyway, I don't disagree that unionization and also union activity level (much of Europe is already unionized) is increased by inflation.

My point is that the labor market conflicts can ALSO cause inflation. And if something is both the cause and the effect of something, then you have a positive feedback loop.

For most of the known text we have a pretty good idea about where the earliest written copy comes from and serious academic is careful about ascribing truth to anonymous late 1st and 2nd century greek texts written in modern day Turkey and describing events happening decades earlier.

Christian theologians and biblical scholars however kind of have to take 2nd century anonymous texts from people who could not have been direct witnesses to the events described as gospel value because without those accounts there is no new testament.

Speaking in programming terms, your program was called with two entangled arguments A and B.

Entanglement means that if you check for value of A and its true, then B is guaranteed to be false. But if you change A to false, system becomes detangled and now both A and B are false (vs B becoming true). This is why entanglement cant be used for FTL communication.
> What about a simple test: it means being able to create better versions of ChatGPT and StableDiffusion.

This doesn't follow at all. An ant will haphazardly create a better (fitter) version of an ant simply through breeding and natural selection. Meanwhile humans cannot intentionally create 'better versions' of humans (with any degree of reliability for a given selection criteria).

There's no intelligence on earth (arguably including humans) whose goal is 'to create a better version of itself'. The goal for lifeforms is reproduction, specifically at the levels of gene and individual selection. Increases in fitness are due to the process of the environment shaping the adaptation.

So it follows that while a future GPT might well be able to duplicate or improve itself, that wouldn't directly reflect its intelligence in comparison to living intelligences. Nor would it necessarily generalise beyond domain specificity.
I mean if they were talking about "solved" I'd assume they'd just use a decision tree rather than refer to AI at all, so given the rest of the comment I assumed they were talking about beating humans 100% of the time rather than beating an arbitrary agent 100% of the time (or I guess 50% if you can't pick which color).
Specifically, what's the issue here? Seems a lot of people are hating on Adobe here, but as far as I'm aware it's fairly standard for companies to process your data to train their models. At least I see this kind of opt-in / opt-out everywhere.

Is it that this is an opt-out not an opt-in, or is that it's even an option to begin with?

If we as consumers want companies like Adobe to provide us with cool AI tools then it seems this is unfortunately just what's required. And if you don't like it, you can opt-out. So I'm guessing the issue is that it's an opt-out not an opt-in? Which seems kinda minor and would perhaps violate GDPR in the EU.

Non native speakers usually "tolerate" and understand a more wide range of accents, if they learned english in a multicultural environment where everyone had a different accent.

Also in general between both native and non native speakers, commenting negatively about someone's accent is considered rude, or colloquially, an "asshole move"

If you are a non-native speaker without encountering such accents you must be Indian, right ?

Not for me.

This is completely alien to my experience.

I eat until I get full, then I stop eating. I do not have any difficulty whatsoever maintaining a healthy weight. I don't think about calories at all. I have no idea how many calories or nutrients are in anything I eat; I've never paid attention to the that part of the label. It does not enter my mind for even a moment.

Sometimes I exercise regularly, sometimes I slip and get lazy for a while. Sometimes I eat a lot of fast food, sometimes I pull myself together and make better stuff at home. Throughout all this, my weight does not noticeably budge at all. I've been 20-22 BMI for my whole adult life.

Truth be told, and please hold your downvotes for this, I get a little upset when the rest of you get to have insurance pay ridiculous sums of money for a medication that makes it easier for you than the rest of us, side effects aside, and you think it's simply evening out the playing field.

I didn't work for it. It doesn't mean I'm a good and diligent person, it means I got lucky with my biochemistry and genetics. In another life, a different sperm would have met a different egg and I'd end up with different alleles and I'd end up fat.

> there is nothing known that we can't approach with our tools of intelligence, so to speak.

Such things may necessarily be unknowable. If there are classes of observations that we are unable to make, or problems that we are unable to comprehend, its absolutely plausible that they would be cognitive blindspots.

In fact there's a whole theoretical strand in cognitive science / ontology that suggests this. We perceive and act only against a model of the world tuned for fitness rather than accuracy. i.e.: we are not perceiving objective reality at any scale, but rather a mental representation of it which is tailored to fitness. This is deeply unintuitive, but of course it would be since it relates to the limits on our ability to intuit.

General intelligence isn't a claim that all humans are polymaths. It's a claim that AIs are so overfitted to succeeding in one narrow human domain like rearranging ASCII strings they fail to achieve infant-level (or even worm-level) competence in virtually all others, and that it responds to new situations by assuming they're an instance of what it has been trained to do rather than considering different approaches.

Another good one is YAGNI. You Aren't Going to Need It.

Basically, don't optimize for standards you'll never actually need. If you're writing say, a webapp that at most is expected to serve maybe 100 to 200 users from a single deployment, you don't need a full blown serverless stack with half a dozen microservices to handle all your requests, just get a decent VPS, configure both nginx and the server workers properly and consider caching the database heavy requests using say, memcached.

Throw in a round-robin of multiple deployments "as needed" and unless you're hitting "big social media company" levels of traffic and you can scale up to pretty insane degrees.

> As LeCun always says: The term "AGI" is a bit ill-formed. What does "general" really mean? Human intelligence is not really general. It's actually very very specialized towards the world we live in. So he prefers the term "human-level intelligence", or maybe super-human-level at some point.

That’s kind of a silly semantic argument though. It also assumes that everyone interested in AGI is trying to make “human-level” intelligence.

So my argument would be that:

* not everyone interested in AGI is interested in replicating human intelligence,

* human-level intelligence is undefined,

* there’s an implicit assumption by your paraphrasing (quoting?) of LeCun that assumes human intelligence is the most general we know of, which is something we don’t have the ability to know.

So I think AGI is fine unless you’re explicitly trying to mimic human intelligence.
