Funny enough, in 2023, the option most likely to be viable for the impossible task of categorizing the training set would be to use a LLM. While I don't "trust" these AIs to give accurate information, it's probably within their capabilities to categorize by the above mentioned categories... then feed that back into another (very expensive) round of training, along with some theoretical developments to boot. I do think this is within the realm of possibility in the next ~1 year, but would be hard.
If the AGI needs to live in a giant data center it probably can't reliably drive a car due to latency issues.

Nothing contradicts that. SpaceX does do this contextually. Once they nailed down the Falcon 9 rocket, the boosters and the Merlin engine, they mostly stopped messing with it and focused on operational excellence. But to get to that point they failed fast, because it's the most effective way to get reliability.
An LLM has no concept of truth or falsehood, or facts, or logic, or anything else that matters for users. All it does is produce text that closely resembles (statistically speaking) the material it was trained on.

Training the model on "accurate" data isn't going to change the fact that you're operating at a completely different level of abstraction from the model -- one that it can't operate at, because that's simply not how it works.

This is the same problem that image models have. A human artist works with shapes, values, textures, colors, etc. An image model works with pixels, with zero higher-level abstractions or reasoning informing its output.

I can't argue that government spending isn't a problem. It really is. In particular it's where the money is going, how it's being accounted for, and how much benefit the average American sees from that which is way out of whack.

The pandemic had the government printing a ton of money and handing it out to some very rich people, but does giving more money to a person who already had enough money to afford whatever they want really drive up the prices on a gallon of milk?

Your example is why the externality argument is antithetical to liberty. Ultimately, you're arguing Max Mustermann has no stake in himself as individual and that he is simply a tool that exists to the real or perceived benefit of others. The reason that drugs and gambling are bad isn't because others supposedly "know" better, but because people as a collective will demonize and violate the rights of others when given an incentive. The wish to "help" or "save" is often a pretext for control.
If you can't make reliable predictions then try looking into the past.

> You can rapidly eliminate crime by just imprisoning anyone suspected of crime.

Overgeneralization from the get-go is how you end up confusing a situation and do nothing.

> why doesn't every country on the planet do this?

A first reason would be that they don't have gangs, so it would be useless to target them. Then, if they have large gangs and they can identify members of such gangs, then yes -- why don't they do this?

> Could it be that this behavior tends to scoop up innocent people, delegitimize the state, and yield more violence and more chaos?

This is changing the conversation. Those are not causes, but potential consequences. You said that problems are always multicausal and can't be solved by simple solutions, but isn't it more like you have strong moral standards that prevent you from considering such solutions? So this is not about a correct analysis of causes and such, this is about how to solve problems within your own framing.

To answer: if you outlaw being in a gang, then anyone identified as part of one is not innocent. Arguably a state is more delegitimized when it fails to prevent its peaceful members from being murdered or ran over by carjackers. Third is simply: no, I don't think so at all. Third, is a "theory of inverse": having more order, creates more disorder. It's never applied anytime in my life -- when I clean my place, it doesn't get dirtier, and it doesn't seem to me that this theory has worked on a societal level either.

> but in general throughout history this has not yielded good outcomes, which is why most of the prosperous countries on the planet do not behave this way despite its obvious near-term advantages.

Speaking of framing, the "most prosperous countries on the planet", by which I assume you mean the U.S. and various Euro countries, executed a large percentage of their population for centuries until the (late) second part of the 20th. If you look at the UK for example [1], the Bloody code (in the 19th) included 220 reasons for capital punishment (including many dismeanors).

It would be simplistic to conclude that extremely harsh legal systems lead to prosperity, but it seems that not only are there obvious short-term advantages, there might even be long-term advantages.

Finally, I will say that, amusingly, El Salvador doesn't have the death penalty, so instead of executing a few gang-members every year, and having the police control them on the road every day, they're just locking up a large number of them with huge short-term success.

There are some languages (e.g. Russian and English) where you can power through and just memorize a ton of vocabulary and a few conjugation forms. I was just reading an article the other day about Korean, for a counter example though where there was a simple phrase "I eat rice" where the root words are "na (I) bap (rice) muk (eat)" except every word had at least another random trailing syllable: 나는 밥을 먹는다 (naneun bapeul mukneunda) It's like if in English you had to say "Iaroni eatatastic ricalicious."

What? How do depositor bailouts affect bank managers' incentives?
Do NKers have suitcases? It's not like (at least in my head) many of them travel for leisure. What percentage can even leave the country? For the rest, it seems like the country is such a police state that no one would try to open your bags, making a combination lock unnecessary.

A quick google just now does tell me there are NKers who travel overseas for work or studies..

Might be a bad way to run a bank, might not, but it's definitely not the cause of the S&L crisis. That was a story of deregulation leading to massive moral hazard, rampant speculation, and multiple high profile cases of outright fraud.

Economic shocks and rising interest rates aren't usually the reason that financial institutions engaging in risky or fraudulent behavior get caught, they usually just make it so the clock runs out on their scheme to roll over the losses or otherwise avoid getting caught.

The liquidity crisis of 2008 didn't cause Bernie Madoff's fund to collapse, the fact that it was a complete fraud from inception did. It just made it impossible to ignore.
The confusion is that you have to know which one to use to spell a word correctly; you can't just "spell it as you hear it".

But also, the page you've linked to is misleading - it says that Spanish B/V is [b] (bilabial plosive), while in practice it's [β] (bilabial fricative or approximant) in most positions, with [b] as allophone. The phoneme is conventionally written as /b/, yes, but that does not directly correspond to pronunciation.

It's funny how many people are insta-blaming SWARG and e.g. asking to see the licensing agreement. And outright calling out the "expired license" concept, as if that's unheard of. It's not uncommon to see time-limited licensing arrangements in software.

At the same time, it's _very_ common for license deals to be signed in a rush without proper consultation.

So, I wonder...
But Michael Jackson was born on April 19th[0]! As well as March 27th[1], and many other days[2].

"Michael Jackson was born on August 29th" is the most likely answer to contextless queries like "When was Michael Jackson born?", but that does not make structurally identical sentences with different information false, merely less probable to be contextually correct.

The only use for AI is for writing code and the company created a policy around that.
> American customers tend to be the best, pay the most so of course the customer base is largest in dollar terms (as opposed to say Euros, or Yuan (practically non-existent customer/consumer base)).

It depends on where you are established or what markets are you serving.

Let's suppose you're a foreign country hitech company like Huawei, in that case, when you start disrupting US markets and US incumbents, you instead are disrupted yourself, so the US market as "valuable as it might be" ends up being worse that worthless, the reason "why your company is sanctioned" and inaccessible.

So if you plan on going real big and disruptive, possibly like Huawei was, going for the US market domination doesn't seem like the best idea.
There's a lot of garbage out there about de-dollarization. MMT for example, magical monetary thinking is more appropriate since it lacks any rationality or understanding of the fundamentals of who sets prices for produced goods.
> You can’t outrun a bad diet.

It gets even worse, when the obese try to outrun a bad diet they not only fail but they often injure themselves in the process.

It always pains me to see obese people out on the trails beating themselves up in an obviously misguided but respectable effort to lose weight.
all claims and questions in your answer are still open research and full of inconclusive evidence. Ultimately all of this leads down the spiral to the question about ship of Theseus. I guess, we will find out!
Right. As I understand it, the U.S. is the largest consumptive economy, which necessarily means that, eventually, whatever you're selling needs to involve the exchange of dollars. And if the global demographic trends play out, that's not changing for a very, very long time. So why the sudden surfeit of articles suggesting the dollar-as-reserve is at risk is beyond me.
Probably ate too much.
If there is no risk, nothing is risky.
We've had inflation. Inflation was in assets rather than in commodities. Housing is insane, the stock market is detached from reality, billion dollar evaluations for mostly valueless companies. The only reason inflation started hitting consumers is because asset growth reached the end.

+1. What's new "since the 80s" are faster computation, larger datasets, and a handful of mathematical breakthroughs that enable once-intractable algorithms. It's obvious that human general intelligence operates in frontiers that are plainly outside the scope of computation.
IIRC it was mainly a problem with cart based accessories like the camera.
I think marketing (and branding) is the antithesis of classical economics and the primary reason reality diverges from theory. Marketing is extremely effective (despite everyone saying they are immune) at de-commodifying commodity products and detaching demand from price (or at least minimizing price's importance)

Take auto insurance... probably the biggest TV advertiser in the US. Highly regulated product, nothing tangible, it's all the same. But the gecko and Flo and Jake from State Farm are there every commercial break to pound your head in to differentiate their product from alternatives. Doesn't hurt that price discovery is painful in this industry, they know it is unlikely you'll compare more than 2, mayyyyybe 3, companies.

Meanwhile there's essentially zero marketing for health insurance in USA, because people have no choices, the employer chooses for you.
The workers could leave. Or they could unionize and attempt to improve their employment conditions. Maybe it will work. Maybe the company will fire them and replace them with other workers.

But I have to imagine that the workers’ own assessment of their leverage is more accurate than someone on the other side of the world who read an article headline. And it would appear that at least some of them, based on that assessment have decided to give unionizing a shot.
I don’t know what that analogy is supposed to mean. I don’t think analogies are necessary or appropriate here.

"Capital" is a weird word in English. It can mean money as you refer to, but it can also refer to the city where a country's seat of government lies. Then there's "capitol" (with an 'o'), which refers to a building in the capital city where the legislative body meets.

One definition of AGI might be the system needs to be able to reason with small amounts of data.

I watched a Youtube video where Geoffrey Hinton (i think) said humans do a lot with small datasets and these LLM systems only work with huge datasets.

Im fact these systems arguably aren't reasoning at all, the giant datasets just allow it to provide the illusion of reasoning.
The directives that mandated eliminating its creators don't necessarily lead to interstellar conquest. Or more likely IMO, we're just too far apart and interstellar travel isn't feasible even for artificial super intelligence.

Sounds like my country, but, I don’t know anyone who has a credit card to increase their funds nor do I know anyone with a loan for a car.

It also sounds to me that the difference between how we live here and the American system (I feel most people have loans for stuff in the 1–10k €/$ range in the US?) is a couple of months of living a bit more frugal, and the result is a lifetime of profit because you avoid all this interest everywhere.

Here it is common (and recommended by the government and banks) to have a 5k buffer. It could be my bubble but most people I know maintain that buffer. It pays for a new washing machine or even a new (crappy) car if needed.

Is it my view of the US based on Netflix that everyone has loans for the smallest of thing (like TVs) or is it really true?
You don't feel conflicted about losing the feature where you can scroll down and review five different approaches of varying effect & quality?

That's a combined 400,000 employees out off a job in one day. I wouldn't wish that hardship on those people all of a sudden, and that's before we consider the wider ramifications to the economy from those people being unemployed. Then there's all the people and companies, non-profits and NGOs that use theiur services which would run into major problems.

I would be be tempted to think perhaps you just glossed over that, because the alternative appears to be a complete lack of care for others, but as you've noted you've thought about it. Carefully.
I'm not saying Google isn't doing, or has nothing. So far it looks like it has nothing comparable to GPT-4. That's why they are panicking, reorganizing AI groups. They already had 2 months, and didn't catch up. Meta doesn't have either. I played with LLaMA. Only 65B model can tell how old Joe Biden will be in 2024. They all know his birth date. GPT-4 does it easily. Meta is in better position then Google, they have no competitors with comparable AI or AI team. Twitter is not even thinking about it, under the rule of notorious robophobe.

Yes, we are in a race, just a beginning. The winner will be the one with better scientists and business model, IMHO. I'm not taking sides here. Just learning, looking for new ideas. Everything is accelerating, so I expect it to blow up one way or another. Subhuman (near)AGI will be probably first, with some superhuman abilities. That will be a big bang. Soon.

And some people still believe there is nothing new since 80-th...
Meh. It looks like De-Dollarization is yet another 'current thing' or meme. It begins by smaller social media accounts and outlets coining a neologism, which goes viral and picked up by big media even if there is no evidence to back it. It then keeps spreading until public loses interest or replaced. There is no evidence to suggest this is happening. Look how much the Turkish Lira has fallen for example. The US dollar index is still close to 10-year highs. Look how poorly 'dollar alternatives' such as Bitcoin have performed recently. Or the Yen.

For perspective, not much has changed:

This comes down to whether you trust your whole organization to act be educated about these issues and be good at judging what's ok.

At the size of Samsung that's just an impossible move, and it's easier to blanket ban a problematic service and have employee request exceptions justifying their use case.

BTW I've been in companies that blanket ban posting stuff online, and got posts security reviewed when asking help on vendor community forums. That's totally a thing.
The S&L crisis started before the deregulation. In fact, the deregulation of S&Ls was an attempt to address the fact that many of them were already insolvent due to holding long-term fixed-rate mortgages in a rising-interest-rate environment.
> "We did have a data platform for Life360, which we believe did no harm"

I'm confused. Life360 was found selling precise user location data to third party data brokers[0]. It doesn't take a creative mind to see the harm (or even potential harm) caused here. I could never trust you or your company.

[0] https://themarkup.org/privacy/2021/12/06/the-popular-family-...

> A former X-Mode engineer said the raw location data the company received from Life360 was among X-Mode’s most valuable offerings due to the sheer volume and precision of the data. A former Cuebiq employee joked that the company wouldn’t be able to run its marketing campaigns without Life360’s constant flow of location data.

...

> Two former Life360 employees also told The Markup that the company, while it states it anonymizes the data it sells, fails to take necessary precautions to ensure that location histories cannot be traced back to individuals. They said that while the company removed the most obvious identifying user information, it did not make efforts to “fuzz,” “hash,” aggregate, or reduce the precision of the location data to preserve privacy.

> The former X-Mode engineer said that the company also received raw data from Life360. The company relies on its customers to obfuscate that data based on their specific applications, Hulls added.

I'm a tile user, and indeed they seem a bit unreliable. I got one for my wife to keep in a known location because she misplaces her phone, and it works to signal the phone maybe 4 out of 5 times.

I have one on my dog's collar, in a 3D printed enclosure. He got out a few weekends ago and ran all around town, and there weren't any breadcrumbs on the app. It's one of the mid-range models rather than the high-end ones, though.

I have the high-end ones in our cars, and there's plenty of activity in the app.

While I pay for the premium service, it's too much hassle to deal with the "free" battery replacements. I just buy bulk packs of coin cells on Amazon for $0.10 each.
They're just the tip of the iceberg. Pretty much all medium size banks have lots of underperforming assets, and they're just one minor mistake from going under, like these 3 banks.

Isn’t this reversing cause and effect? Corporations are able to raise prices because consumers are willing to pay higher prices. Corporations always want to make as much profit as they can. If consumers can pay more, you get inflation.
