> And last but not least, what should I do about the fact that I have never used smartphones (iPhone/Android) and I have no interest in them, when the vast majority of my students will only have such a "computer"?

Android is basically Linux, which is great for development. You can install the Termux app (https://github.com/termux/termux-app) on Android phones, then you have a shell and a decent package manager. You can install compilers and interpreters and text editors. Python, Emacs, and so forth. (And shell is a scripting language in its own right.) The Play Store version of Termux is kind of crippled, so you'd want to sideload. It might be easiest to sideload the F-Droid store first and install from there. Recent versions of Android (12+) also aggressively kill processes to save battery life, which makes Termux much less usable. It takes some technical know-how to turn that off, but there are instructions linked in the Termux repo.

I'm less familiar with the iPhones, but they're a lot more locked down. I'd expect Android phones to be more common because they're cheaper, but sufficiently old iPhones are not that expensive either. There are some iOS IDE apps, but I don't think they're quite as complete as Termux can be.

Single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi are fairly cheap and can run Linux. I think even iPhone users can ssh into a server. Linux is multi-user, so students could share. Simple command-line apps don't require a very powerful computer by modern standards.

There are also a number of online IDEs that would only require a decent web browser. Some of them might be compatible with iPhone Safari. I'd consider JupyterLite, which is free and runs entirely in-browser. https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite
Microsoft Todo is 127mb.

I saw an interesting thing (Found the link: https://twitter.com/alex193a/status/1638275630428049411 ) that said they're going to give Subscribers the ability to hide that they have subscribed.

I wonder if checking "hide" will also bar you from appearing in the "For You" page. Because otherwise it's a bit of a privacy breach.
>This wouldn't be an issue if we actually recognized the theft of intellectual property that underlies training of these LLMs

Suddenly people think copying things on the internet is theft again. What happened to "its just a copyright violation and nobody loses anything anyway, it's not theft!" when you're torrenting movies and video games?

>The fair-use argument holds no water, and if we didn't have a broken government in the US, it certainly would doom these tools to being trained only on data they've generated themselves, which is how it should be.

Well surely the "fixed" and "working" governments of Canada and the EU will take action against this promptly! Can you share the bills they've already passed that will doom these tools?
https://macintoshgarden.org/ is pretty good for that.
Interviewer: "Are you speaking to the government, in regular contact?"

Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO): "Oh yes, regular contact."

Up to you to decide to what extent of government that is.

Awesome, thanks for the reply! The fallback approach sounds like it could be really great, hardening against modals and popups can be really annoying.

Wait, you write:

Just say what's on your mind and don't mind the votes. One thing you'll discover is that you're not alone in your views, whatever they are.

Few days ago I came across this bone chilling AI generated Metal Gear Solid 2 meme with Hideo Kojima characters talking about how the purpose of this technology is to make it impossible to tell what's real or fake, leading directly to regulation of information networks with identity verification so that all information and thought can be traced to their sources, with the government of course becoming the sole arbiter of truth. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this turned into reality.
These exist in Europe, for example the Citroen Ami[0] which is about 8000 euros or Renault Twizy[1] which is 12k euros. There are cheaper vehicles like this but I can't remember them offhand. You see these kind of micro EVs in every town basically, pretty sweet.

It is also surprising to realize that China and the chinese actually think as a nation and have a sense of collectivism, whereas the US is to each their gun and their million dollars in the bank. China has always had this sense of being one thing, historically, and even the atrocious regimes, emperors, and dictators are always representative of a populace wish to centralize and control things fluidly and efficiently. Who knows, maybe it will work out, even with the price it has that westerners won't ever consider, or ever let go of a philosophical individuality.

Jeez they said nothing of the sort. They were pointing out the bill was not about vpns.

You’ve got the perfect wrong. The good is plug-in hybrid with 40 miles range and 1/8th the battery. 8 built for every electric car. Solves 90% of personal transportation needs with electric alone. The fox on full electric is criminal imho.
truthfully they did you a favor
Many hybrids are also quiet and fixed gear ratio. I won’t switch back to gasoline-only cars for many of the same reasons of comfort. I’d love an EV but I still have to drive long distances regularly, and hybrid range is often even better than most gasoline cars.

Activists have been trying for decades to shift US cities away from car dependency towards more sustainable alternatives, and they have very little to show for it. It is politically impossible to shift this funding to non-car transportation overnight.

Like it or not, EVs are a necessary part of the solution. We no longer have time to build enough subways and bike lanes to make cars go away entirely.
It's not terribly unusual for a show to get dropped by a network and picked up by another; some other heavily serialized genre shows that have changed networks include Buffy (started on the WB and moved to UPN), Stargate (started on Showtime and moved to Sci-Fi) and The Expanse (started on Sci-Fi and moved to Prime Video)

> look at the stink over there about there being too many!

There isn’t much of one, tbh. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone claiming we have too many immigrants outside of actual right-wing extremists (not even Trump-level, more like 4chan-level).

Lots of people think illegal immigration should be cracked down on, or resent accommodations to people from outside the dominant culture (e.g. bilingual signage). However, these are not the same thing as thinking there are too many immigrants, full stop. Furthermore, even these lesser forms of xenophobia are regarded as solidly right-wing beliefs rather than being part of the political mainstream.
Competitive LLM reviewers, trained on opinionated data and case law, will change the denial-of-Congress landscape of legislative complexity.

Same as with human cloning or genetic tweaking etc, once knowledge of how to do it escapes there's no putting the genie back in the bottle, it's just a matter of time until the worst comes true from some less regulated place.

Congrats on the launch. We are building something similar at https://trypromptly.com that allows chatbot building on user's own documents powered by GPT. We also allow users to build AI powered apps without writing code.

For example, https://trypromptly.com/app/9da10a4f-6d20-431e-98f7-048fab81... is a chatbot built on Coursera video transcript. Similarly https://trypromptly.com/app/d478594d-2082-46c9-bee7-f057f4bc... is a web app that generates resume based on user information and the position they are applying to. Both are powered by Open AI message completions API and built using Promptly's no-code builder. Another fun app we built allows end user to provide a audio file, pipe that to Whisper and use that in the chain below to extract summaries etc.

Ps: We are still updating our landing page with app builder videos and other content

You can't be prosecuted under S.686 for accessing TikTok, with or without a VPN; the Act deals specifically with financial and contractual relations between foreign entities and US entities. So, sure, you could face up to twenty years if you, say, take knowing and affirmative steps to evade a specific Treasury declaration regarding your business (say, by concealing the fact that the People's Liberation Army has been funding your cybersecurity company, or that you're buying suspiciously-inexpensive 5G radios for your telecom company from Iran), but that's the sort of thing you'd expect to face jail time for regardless.

I'm skeptical about the RESTRICT Act -- treating TikTok as a one-off case rather than putting meaningful federal restrictions around the use of personal data tells you where Congress' mind is here -- but the OP's fearmongering is just ridiculous.
It’s middle of the night and I cannot sleep because of what I expect will happen with almost all jobs in the next decade. 2023 is the down of new era. Almost everyone will be out of job. Even the jobs requiring what we call “unskilled labor” involve things replaceable by AI - object recognition, spacial awareness, reacting to unexpected situations, decision making. I see all these gurus on Twitter saying we just need to be “ahead of curve” and I think they miss the point so badly. There won’t be staying “ahead of curve”
In the long run, AI will do better whatever it may be invented or done

It comes down to the type system. In C++ maximal use of the type system is optional. If your C++ code base is C with classes, refactoring will be a mess. If your code base uses modern C++ with maximum type safety, refactoring is straightforward in the same way it is for Rust. The experience in C++ depends on the code base.

Use of maximal type safety in modern C++ is astonishingly robust and expressive. If it compiles it generally works. The majority of developers are a bit lazy about type safety in my experience, which works against you. It depends on the org.

Disagree. The overwhelming amount of software being written is almost entirely plagiarizable from stack overflow or GitHub. It will need to be slightly reworked, but that’s it. The real trick is figuring out how to ask your copilot for the bite-sized pieces one at a time.
> with LLMs you can actually directly edit the binary and add hooks to them

I’m so confused what LLMs have to do with adding hooks.

Edit: I’m confused because this can be done without LLMs, and I don’t see why they’re particularly helpful here, unless the use case is instructing the LLM to “hook malloc to use my_malicious_malloc”
People have the right to want to preserve their culture rather than becoming globalized. The US has chosen the path of being a melting pot and that is great for us but Icelanders have every right not to make the same decision if they don’t want to.
The depreciation curve is steeper in some manufacturers than others. It's overstating the case to say, e.g., that Toyotas lose half their value in only a few years. I also have only ever bought used vehicles but my most recent Subaru was ~6 years old and still more than 50% of MSRP of the current, newer model year.

Fearmongering plus 2024 elections = Only their LLM stays open commercially maybe? Especially if it helps get Trump elected.

Same as any crime. They have to prove that you did it (both that you did the act, and that you intended to do the act) to a judge or a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

> what if you have malware on one of your devices and it accesses something banned?

If your concern is about being framed via malware, there are plenty of existing ways of doing so. eg. laws against CSAM or laws against funding terrorists (hope that the malware doesn't use your paypal session to send money to ISIS!).
What we really need is a reboot of USENET in some magical way where there's no incentive to spam + micro nonzero cost to give them a reason not to, something like 100 posts for $0.01.

The reality is you'll get weird spam posts even if you block links with just basically garbage text just because people can. So add an irrelevant cost to put it above zero.

Here's an example of the spam for no reason: I've got a vintage site for a project http://bootstra386.com with a vintage guestbook. Instead of filtering out spam, I filter it over to something I called spambook so you can feast on the glory of all the spam bots postings - it's so excessive and ridiculous - actually I think it's just erroring out from too much memory now. I'll fix it in a bit
I recall that the IE market share graph behaves like a lagging indicator with significant momentum mass - alternative browsers were technically better and it took years for IE to bleed down the market share. Microsoft needs to be careful with Windows as losing market share is hard to stop/reverse.
It’s one of the most complicated and regulated markets on earth. Yet both the critics and supporters think it’s a free market.

> Insurers know their costs, and when and why they pay specific charges.

I certainly don’t have your credentials, but my experience in being an insured person doesn’t match this. I’m willing to believe you, but having filled out forms for UHC to get reimbursed for an out-of-network doctor, it sure feels like they kind of make it up based on how they feel that day. I’ve submitted what appear to me to be identical forms for reimbursement (like the super bill the doctor gives me has the same codes, duration, etc.), and the reimbursement differs for no reason I can discern (had long blown past my deductible, etc.). It feels like sometimes you get lucky and the person evaluating your form gives you a break, and sometimes you’re unlucky and they don’t.

On the other hand, malicious compliance does seem par for the course for these assholes. So what you say makes sense.

Eliminate current-form capitalism and you eliminate the dystopian outcome. Enforce UBI and you have utopia.

If an economic system does not provide utopian outcomes for emerging technology, then the economic system is wrong.

Economic systems that provide dystopian outcomes with emerging technology are meant to be replaced.

Your worries are about an economic system, not AI. Economic systems are tools, means to an end.

If you accept that we live in post scarcity and begin from that principle, everything is not only fine, but we could be entering an amazing age.

If you say - only those who provide value will get value - then you will enforce dystopia.
You're implying that open research is a shady way to become a non profit. They're allowed to change their business model. The open research was published at the time. GPT-2 is fully open source. Even GPT-3 was open source through the beta in 2020. What they didn't release was the fully trained model (the data is more valuable than the code, in this case).
