No. It's massively overhyped. This isn't machine intelligence in the AGI sense it's better complex statistical/genetic algorithms but they still demand training. As I see it, AGI demands self training, or semi undirected training with guided inference.

As long as it's 60 billion inputs and mechanical Turk correction feedback it's not AGI.

So I see no sign of either aggressive or incremental change in what's being done: to the contrary I see a lot of repetitive re application of NLP and image work but with no intelligence in the AGI sense.

Read specialist groups in reddit who analyse what GPT says about their subject matter: riddled with false inferences. Good use of the models is experts checking things and exploring.

High recognition rates in image processing and diagnostic inferences are really very cool. I don't think radiographers or specialists or GP doctors expect to be replaced by ChatGPT any time soon. Maybe it helps reduce triage burdens but maybe it also feeds medical insurance nightmares.
Props to the author for clearly indicating the random-guess mark.
I am very grateful for the modern web. It used to be commonplace to install a bunch of executables that interacted with the browser and took instructions from random websites (Flash, Silverlight, Java applets).

I have my reservations with the browserfication of software (and the restriction of browser extensions), but at the same time it is absolutely for the best that normal users just run sandboxed phone apps and browsers these days. Hopefully South Korea will retire this tool soon.
Yes, having a decorator-free approach was one of the main reasons why I started working on this - I've currently implemented the OpenAPI instrumentation in a way that all of your endpoints are called with specific headers that make those endpoints return their own API spec, generated from the parameters that they are defined with. While this might sound a bit IO-heavy with a potentially high amount of network requests, it is done only when calling the Swagger UI endpoint and it can be improved with some caching, I think.

I don’t hold most startup accelerators in high regard, but the one very stimulating activity we did was based on the ‘business model canvas’. It’s a marginally useful thing in itself to document all the moving parts of your business (real or imagined) but I really enjoyed a session we spent just working on hypotheticals like in this article, like what if this key resource is no longer available? What if you need new channels? You immediately realise that your business is a vector in a high-dimensional space and you can explore in any direction you like looking for some sort of fit. It was a great way of shaking us out of linear thinking, and instilling a sense of agility all the way down in a company.

Does OpenAI have anything resembling "special sauce", or are they just a critical mass of ML engineers with good funding, loose constraints and the word "open" in their name?

If the former, a buyout seems like the obvious next step, antitrust notwithstanding. If the latter, a buyout would kill two of the company strengths - "open"-ness (as weak as it is with the Microsoft tie-ins, it is still notionally a selling point), and loose constraints on target use-cases. Might not seem like such a good deal if it just turns out to be an acqui-hire.

That's the point. Cory isn't like all users. He has 480k followers.

The reality is very few of his followers engage with the tweets. He previously had engagement, he no longer has that engagement, and thinks Twitter is dying. It didn't help that he told his followers to go to mastodon.

I really think he doesn't play to the platform's strengths: succinct commentary. His whole career has been about long-form writing.

That's a textbook on the idea, not a text book on an area of physics using that idea. Of course there are many books professing the idea, there are none, eg., providing a computable formalism for classical mechanics.

The value of a physical constant can be defined to abitarily many digits, that's a misunderstanding of QM which limits the measurement precision in conjugate variables.

But even were our measurement limited to finite precision, the world certainly isnt.

(I've lived in Portugal more than 20 years ago and things (i.e. laws) might have changed significantly.) The problems with abandoned, degraded but historical/beautiful buildings had to do with several factors.

One factor was the social protection that renters (especially elderly) are afforded by law, especially keeping rents very (and I mean very low). This protection is in itself a good thing, but the downside was that landlords had no incentive to do renovations in the order of million euros for a building full of renters paying fifty euros per month each (I can't recall exact quantities). As I said, the protection of elderly is a good thing, but a balance was never achieved.

Another factor (and this ties with the bureaucracy theme) was that for some buildings, the state and municipality couldn't even locate the owner. So you might have this grade I building with a name as the legal owner, but it could be someone that emigrated to Brazil 50 years ago. Couple that with the slowness of judicial process and the building is in a limbo state for a century.

Cluelessness have been catered to to insane degrees in the name of sales, and users are now used to just clicking through whatever pops up until they see the thing they want to see. But if (1) they'd been properly taught, (2) apps asked only for the permissions they need instead of acting like all your data are belong to them, and (3) people actually read those damn pop ups (which they might have if there weren't so many)… capability based security is actually fairly easy to understand.

Agreed for sure. That said though, for which time horizon are your predictions going to remain valid? It's an interesting perspective I think to look at AGI risk in a 100 year time horizon because imho I think that's a conservative lower bound estimate for the lifespan of babies born today, if their families can afford access for them to education and good medical care.

A lot can change in 100 years. Here's a sampling of current events from 100 years ago, in 1923:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923#Events

March 9 – Vladimir Lenin suffers his third stroke, which renders him bedridden and unable to speak; consequently he retires from his position as Chairman of the Soviet government.

March 28 – Regia Aeronautica, the air force of Fascist Italy, is founded.

May 27 – The Ku Klux Klan in the United States defies a law requiring publication of its membership.

September 4 – The United States Navy's first home-built rigid airship USS Shenandoah (ZR-1) makes her first flight at Naval Air Station Lakehurst (New Jersey); she contains most of the world's extracted reserves of helium at this time.

October 29 – Turkey becomes a republic, following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire; Kemal Atatürk is elected as first president.

No, they don't have "siestas". In Spain usually all retail closes from 2pm to 5pm. I wouldn't expect to go to a UK venue and have a normal dining timetables (for me as Spaniard), because I understand things work different there.
I disagree that this has to be a zero sum game. There are many courses of action that could have been taken before, during and after the lecture by the lecturer, the students who felt affected by the lecture, and the faculty administration, none of which would have to involve punishing anybody and that would have led to a better outcome.

For example, somebody, somewhere, could have created a forum for a more socratic method to discuss these images and people's reactions to them to help improve understanding on all sides.

Saying "I'm going to do something offensive, and if you're offended that's your problem because I've told you, and I've told you I don't care about that offence", is about as constructive as a response of "I have been offended, and even though I was warned I was about to be offended and did not take the appropriate measures I was offered to protect myself from that offence, I will complain that I was offended".

Rhetoric (in the philosophical teaching sense), is a hell of a move to double down on when you're dealing with topics where the discussion itself can have real consequences.

It is not a "tired liberal relativist platitude" to suggest that a contributory cause of the issue here was all sides involved stopped caring about consequences to others, and instead all erred towards self preservation while maintaining an insistence that rhetoric will work and dialectism would fail.

Self-preservation might be rational as a mammalian instinct, but in a philosophical setting (and a lecture touching on images of theological subjects surely is such a context), it's that conservatism that is tired and relativist: true liberalism (not libertarianism), was the essential lightning rod that was missing from the conversation.

It's surprising that it would still need government subsidies to start with. I'm not really into the details of such thing that much, but around here (northern Europe) we're basically getting fiber everywhere, first in cities but later also in very rural and (by European standards) low-population areas, and there are no subsidies involved. Private companies compete and goes to communities (in rural areas) or neighborhoods (in city- or city-like areas) and try to drum up interest, and if there's enough interest they start digging. And in densely populated areas it's a no-brainer, they just do it. Due to competition (just more than one supplier and you have the competition) it's kind of "got to start this area before the competitor does.."

The fiber is also used for TV etc., with several providers on the same fiber, so I imagine that the fiber provider gets income from the competing TV providers as well. Could be part of the why. As for myself, I only need and only pay for actual internet.

I've had 1Gb/1Gb fiber for many years now, and lately fiber arrives in the most unexpected areas (long distances, few residents). It (the deployment, not the monthly) used to be more costly, but it's not anymore. And no public money involved. I know that it used to be, as an experiment, a couple of decades or more ago, but only in certain areas.

I would also note that the paper only covers the multiple choice portion of a bar exam, the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) that has been adopted by most, but not all states. The UBE consists of a multiple choice portion (the Multistate Bar Exam, or MBE), an essay portion and a scenario-based performance test. GPT-3.5 gets a 50% success rate on a practice version of the MBE. It's impressive, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's imminent that AIs will threaten lawyers.
The wholw point of turing machines is that they can emulate any computable system. You could have your a turing machine simulate every atom inside a human, and then you trivially have a turing machine that shows intelligence equivalent to a human.
So you think published output and reference to that output is not as equally a valid objective measure of influence in an academic setting as singing well?

This is the smart money take. They ran an EV calculation on the cost of half heartedly allowing self repair (but in a sneaky way in which surely favors them) with a reduced probability of legislation vs the probability of legislation being imposed on them and figured they can milk more money out of this scenario.

They will surely allow DIY in the most convoluted, inaccessible way humanly possible and try to keep this scenario as close as possible to the tractors being unrepairable.
The perspective that the author is missing (and also not well articulated in the references he might have been chasing) is that the problem of hygiene exists even if you take away macros.

Macros only hide an unwanted clash; they are not what makes the unwanted clash possible. Clashes can happen out in the open, and still go unnoticed, causing a problem.

A hygienic macro system only fixes the problem for macros.

The real fix is to diagnose instances of shadowing. It's that simple. If you diagnose shadowing, scope-related name clashes, such as those macros can run into, have nowhere to hide.

Diagnosing shadowing won't catch every hygiene bug in a macro; only when that bug reproduces. If a macro generates code which binds some famous library function, then every instance of the macro will be diagnosed. If the macro binds some unused identifier, then instances of the macro will only be diagnosed when it is planted into code that defines the identifier. Still, diagnosed is diagnosed; the programmer is alerted to the problem, and even if they are not able to fix the macro, they may be able to work around it by renaming something in their code.

Your figures are completely, utterly off, in so many ways.

> Operating costs for NYC metro are about 400 million a year.

I don’t know where you got this figure from, but this is off by a factor 20x. $400M won’t even cover NYC MTA’s electricity bill. The actual operating cost is closer to $8B.

Does being completely off with your calculations affect your thinking about transportation economics? I seriously doubt that.
This is simpler but tends to favor the wealthy because such taxes do not impose the same burden proportionately. Moreover the poor rarely invest--I think 401k uptake is only 50% in the US?--and would in present circumstances be challenged to do so. Maybe incentives would change for them under a new system. Another difficulty is that investment income grows over time and governments stand to lose a great deal if they don't tax it.

So, a tricky piece here is that this appears to be behavior of the TikTok web site. Obviously Apple makes no attempt (nor claim) to review the behavior of every web site accessible in Safari from an iPhone. And other native apps can embed WebKit-based web views into their apps.

The good news is that the scope of "malicious activity" is (at least in theory) much smaller when you constrain it to what web sites can do, as opposed to the scope of what can be done by executing ARM instructions and making syscalls.

The bad news is that the scope of "things web sites can do" keeps growing and is fingerprintable.
