Treat adults as adults? You act like the user base for this are a handful of completely benevolent people. It's getting over a billion monthly visits. It is naive to think that OpenAI should take no steps towards making it safe.
The latter. This is the first time it's ever been remotely "useful", the rest of the time it's annoying.
Lots of companies are doing ASICs for machine learning. Off the top of my head, Graphcore, Cerebras, Tenstorrent, Wave. This site claims there are 187 of them (which seems unlikely) https://tracxn.com/d/trending-themes/Startups-in-AI-Processo.... Google's TPU counts and there are periodic rumours about amazon and meta building their own (might be reality now, I haven't been watching closely).

As far as I can tell that gamble isn't work out particularly well for any of the startups but that might be money drying up before they've hit commercial viability. I know the hardware is pretty good for Graphcore, Cerebras and the software proving difficult.
> These people did not go through an eternity of perception, processing, and thought; they had the label on their memories altered.

No, psychedelics really can speed up thought. It's not uncommon to experience a lot more in a much shorter amount of time than normal. For example, I've experienced this first-hand where I could not even finish a single sentence before I was so far ahead in thought that I completely forgot what I was originally trying to say.

I used to call it "an entire universe happening between each instant" which, while inaccurate, is an apt enough description of how it feels, but also how it actually is, because the volume of thought is still much higher than normal.
The problem with Silicon Valley medicine
I can see it without, I just noticed that 2x made it easier.
That's still not capable of producing a central "work area" the angular size of a book at the reading distance with a reasonable angular resolution figure.
I moderate a reasonably sized community (50k - 100k users). Without using an external app like Sync or Apollo, it is insanely hard. Their own app is so clunky: sometimes it just fails to load posts or the feed. At times the video doesn't load - instead showing a screengrab. The worst offender is that sometimes the UI shows moderator controls for even some communities one doesn't moderate (This is a known bug going on for several months in the official Reddit app and the admins/devs acknowledge it). You have to go about closing the app and clearing the cache. For e.g., here's a screenshot, which shows a warplane subreddit that I don't manage (having mod controls):

https://imgur.io/a/4yOY4Vo

Keeping third party apps open for Premium users is one way out. Another alternative would be to keep API costs low enough that developers can reasonably pass that cost to subscription users. But the current state would just lead to massive disruption. They will end up killing the golden goose.
Counterpoint: whoever is the first to make advanced ML affordable, maybe even mobile has a good chance of dominating multiple markets in near future.
There will always be tension with an interface for a freemium product since it’s bad on purpose. The Apollo interface is better for the consumer, but worse for Reddit. Their interests are not aligned. Even if Reddit were to purchase Apollo they’d never reskin Reddit since the UX does what it needs to do.
Yep, been there, done that.

> It's disingenuous to pretend watching some documentary on planets is the same as scrolling on tiktok.

It’s disingenuous to pretend kids are only watching documentaries on planets. Especially when YouTube recommends “boobfest2023” ad a follow up. I removed YouTube from everything but the main tv because everyone my kids were watching something “normal” it went into crazy town of violence, conspiracies, and just giant assholes within a few videos or watching the next recommendations.

And there’s no way in YouTube to fix this. Even “YouTube Kids” ended up in garbage after a few bits.

So now I watch with my kids and work to teach them what’s worth watching. But it’s hard because YouTube is working to draw more attention and crazy stuff gets attention.

Also, it’s infuriating to keep having ads on education. I have school assignments that keep get interrupted with ads that aren’t applicable at all. I feel sorry for the company that pays to show an ad in Spanish for progressive auto insurance to my 8 year old. Is it terrible ad targeting tech or just fraud? Beats me, but no one in my house speaks Spanish or drives.
Did you miss the tiny little part of having no controllers? If you want to play some trivial games via tapping with fingers around for sure, but nothing sophisticated can be done. Whole UI is done for browsing and mimicking big screen and reading text.

Unless you mean holding mouse and keyboard, while sitting behind desk. For 1/5th of the price you can just buy big gaming curved screen which has many many technologies that help gaming experience, and Apple will have 0 (ie gsync/freesync, antiflickering etc.).
> The moats are in data and access

We can only speculate what data closed LLMs were trained on, but I'd be highly surprised if Google/openai had exclusive access to a bigger repository of written data than, well, the internet, as it presents itself to the world at large.

Which is the reason why things like https://pile.eleuther.ai/ exist.

So no, there is no data-moat.

> , and both require productization.

Products can be developed by basically every group with the passion to do so, even in an OSS setting. A great example is InvokeAI, a stable diffusion implementation that, while it doesn't (yet) offer the customization and extensability of AUTOMATIC1111 has a pretty superb UX.

So no, there is no productization-moat either.

> All of the specialized and local models need access to user data for their task

What exactly would they require "user data" for?

The LLM plugin I use for coding tasks requires access to my current vim-buffer, which the plugin provides. My script for generating documentation from API code requires only the API code. When I use an LLM to write an email, the data it requires is the prompt and some datetime information, which my script provides.

Even the existing cloud based solutions don't need access to user-data either to perform their functions.

> Everything needs to be deployed, and BigCorp can just push it as an OS update.

And app providers can just update an app. LLMs don't have some special requirements that would make updateing integrated versions any more difficult than upgrading other software.

> BigCorp could achieve a strong product moat and improve its own performance beyond GPT-4.

By doing what, deploying ever larger models? Attention based transformers have O(n^2) scaling, so that's unlikely to happen unless there is some architectural breakthrough. Which is far more likely to happen in OSS first, due to the aforementioned next to limitless talent pool.

> Right now, OSS is behind where it matters, and there's no guarantee this would change

OSS powers basically everything in the world of computing minus office software, desktops and gaming PCs, and that isn't for a lack of capability. So I'd say that purely based on experience and history, I think it's very unlikely that this won't change, and quickly.

It's also a convenient workaround to synchronize information about your online-behavior, while still being able to state publicly that your browser-history is never processed to profile you.

Upvoting this because it's a view worth sharing (and I'm sure you'll be downvoted just because of your baseless claim that Apple is concerned about something as dirty as profit /s)
Do you have a basis for your speculation, or are you just sharing from personal experience?
That's a subjective interpretation, and I say that even as someone who believes in objective reality.

Nonsense. Where's the thousand years of creative output? If my mind existed for a thousand years I'd be immediately filing patents and writing papers based off all the things I came up with during my eternity of thought. Further, if there was a simple chemical way to accelerate actual brain processing thousands of times, you don't think evolution would've built it into our brains? There is no difference between this and hypnotizing someone to believe they've lived an eternity.
To stimulate my brain I just learn new skills and solve puzzles constantly.

I am pretty happy so there is no need to escape.

I admit I am -curious- to try psychedelics but in no hurry. Plenty of things to entertain me in this life.

This is my favourite bit. Does this person just go around running into people all day every day? Maybe they need to look up from their phone more.
It isn't about ads exclusively, that's a common misunderstanding though. A lot of issues are down to moderation tools as well as accessibility.
This is awesome. As someone who occasionally used LSD for a couple months, I have a ton of appreciation for psychedelics and altered states of consciousness. This is super fascinating to me and I hope to experience it for myself one day.
> either when no one would notice (in which case it's arguably not really "breakage")

This is the idea, but the Kernel maintainers aren’t omniscient, so “no one would notice” really means “the maintainers don’t think anyone would notice”, and this ends up being somewhat arbitrary.

A breaking change is a breaking change: just because you don’t think anyone is relying on the existing behaviour doesn’t make it any less of a breaking change.

I really don’t like it when Linus says the Kernel never breaks userspace (he says this a lot and uses it as an excuse to abuse people on the mailing list) because it’s just factually inaccurate, and “no one will notice” isn’t really good enough if you expect people to actually rely on this property.
Both of these load instantly for me.

All six reactors were shut down last year [1]. Cooling is still needed due to the residual heat produced by natural decay of the fuel even when the reactors are not running.

At the currently reported rate of 5 cm / hour, the water level in the reservoir will have sunk below 12.7 m by Friday morning (local time). It will then no longer be possible to pump water from the reservoir to the reactors. There are alternative sources, however [2]:

There are a number of alternative sources of water.

A main one is the large cooling pond next to the site that by design is kept above the height of the reservoir. As the reactors have been shut down for many months it is estimated that this pond will be sufficient to provide water for cooling for some months. The Agency will confirm this very shortly.

IMHO (and this is just my own uniformed view), this means that language models by themselves are insufficient for certain important tasks. It seems to be hard for systems to learn deductive reasoning purely based on text prediction.

OTOH, who knows what would happen if you somehow managed to combine the generating capabilities of a language model with a proper inference engine, e.g. Wolfram|Alpha. Maybe it would bring us significantly closer to AGI, but maybe that way is also a dead-end because it's not guaranteed that those systems would work well together.
Point taken, but I feel like I should explain that the word "class" has an idiosyncratic meaning in Bard.

Bard classes are not conventional object-oriented classes; they aren't even CLOS-style classes. A Bard class is a set of representations that participate in a given protocol. That being the case, a hypothetical Bard cons cell representation could be exactly the same as a TXR Lisp cons cell, or the same as a Common Lisp cons cell. In either case it need not be the only representation of a cons cell in the language.

(I feel like someone is going to object that I shouldn't use the word "class" for a concept that is so different from what it usually means in object-oriented languages, and that might be true. If someone suggests a better term for a set of representations defined by a protocol in which they all participate, I'll consider adopting it.)

Intuitively in my mind, the first element shouldn’t be included in the differences array. I wonder if there’s a magic words that I can use to say “do the intuitive thing”.

Intuitively in my mind, the way to use tools related to software development is to be as explicit as possible. LLMs are good at either translation, when the proper context is provided, and synthesis, when the context is not provided.

Once this is understood then the user realizes there are no “magic” words.
How interesting to see this here. I've reduced my caffeine intake from about 6 cups to drinking only socially. Different than the article, I did have side effects. Especially during the afternoon a foggy haze would descend, that I would be quite sure would disperse at the first sip. But that's mostly gone now. I take it as an indication that it was high time to kick the bucket.
After years of doing the same thing it's normal to be unmotivated.

"unmotivated" is like gaslighting or misdirection from the misalignment between your goals and theirs (stagnation).

• The GPU in the base M2 has 10 GPU cores and 3.6 tflops

• The GPU in the M2 Ultra has 76 GPU cores and corresponds to 2x M2 Max, which has 13.6 tflops; so 27.2 tflops [1,2]

• RTX 4090 has 82.58 tflops [3] (overclocked can reach 100 tflops [4])

While more powerful NVidia cards are not "multiple orders of magnitude more". Rather it seems a 4090 is around 3-4 faster than an M2 Ultra GPU.

Keep in mind that the Apple Silicon chips also have low-precission Neural Engine circuits for inference of neural nets. For the M2 Ultra they claim 31.6 tops [1].

The important thing isn't whether the child has a phone or not, but whether he/she has a circle of real friends, is engaged in social activities and manages their own responsibilities (school mainly).

Monitoring and enabling this is what good parents do and restricting access to technology can absolutely be a useful tool to fo that. Parent's who can't/won't do this will face problems in any case, phones are just one way for children to live out their problems.

But to be honest I think that schools probably should not allow phones or phone usage. Real social interaction is much too important and playing hide (the phone) and seek (the phone) with your teachers is an important life skill.

That depends on the context of what you’re doing. I’ve been learning Unity for some side projects, having never used it or even C# before, and in that context, it’s very different from when you’re comfortable with your environment.

Just breaking a problem down comment by comment and letting Copilot try to translate as you do so is super effective for getting oriented. It knows the syntax, and you can easily tell after the fact if it’s doing the right thing. But it’s helped me discover a ton of features that I would have missed and replicated by hand in the old days.
