The irony is that they are opposing forces. AI as it is now is still tame, any technical improvement makes it more dangerous to not just economic fears of taking over jobs, but even the science fiction fears become viable if an AI becomes self aware and consistent in intent.

If you focus on the technical advances then you are focusing on NOT saving the world. Good that at least this guy isn't so wholly focused on the technical side even though saving the world is such a blurry concept.
Funny how you already speak in past tense, but I agree, OpenAI is likely the MySpace of this decade. Not least because of the name "GPT" alone.
Because the UX folks want what they want. I want my UI out of the way, including the corners of video and my CPU load.

AGI without a body is just a glorified chatbot that is dependant on available, human provided resources.

To create true AGI, you would need to make the software aware of its surroundings and provide it with a way to experience the real world.
I disagree that to transit is the right verb form of transition in general. Transit (to my ear) is pretty much limited to a change of place, usually even through something (you might “transit a stretch of wood”, to steal Merriam-Webster’s example). Transition is more generally about a state of change.

By the same token, you could still reject to question because the verb to quest exists.
Then market it as "fast". Nobody (except a few zealots) cares about the implementation details.
I read an article where they did a proper Turing test and it seems people recognize it was a machine answering because it made no writing errors and wrote perfectly
Of course can be beneficial for individual companies, isn't hoarding up IP an impediment for progress in general?

In this specific industry tough one could argue that impeding progress is a good thing for the wider society.

you're ignoring my point, well.. not exactly "ignoring", more like explaining how and why the issue I was critizicing is completely irrelevant from where you stand

however, thanks to all this dialogue, do see where my own critizicism goes amiss; and for that, thanks a lot.
Sweet fuck after covid I forgot about webex. I think I might have ptsd from that.

Neither AI fears nor singularity is substantiated. Hence the discussion is a matter of taste and opinion, not of facts. They are sunstantiated once one or the other comes to fruition. The fact it's a matter of taste and opinion makes the discussion only so much heated.

I'm not saying LLMs are. LLMs are not the only thing going on right now. But they do enable a powerful tool.

I think the path to AGI is: embodiment. Give it a body, let it explore a world, fight to survive, learn action and consequence. Then AGI you will have.
A few days ago Sam said that a recent breakthrough was a game changer. They recently finished pretraining GPT-5 apparently. So it could be related to the rapid rate of progress.

> It works well to learn the basics, which means a few thousand words and the core grammar.

This is not entirely accurate. The better courses on Duolingo teach in excess of 7000 words (8000 for french) as can be seen on DuolingoData[1] and clicking on the W column to sort the courses by words taught.

Clozemaster is a good resource for vocabulary building if you want to supplement Duolingo.[2]

Could you explain in what scenario you think it is better to have a display show two half images slightly faster (milliseconds) than one full one?
if you think it’s impossible with computers then surely you must have a reason why computers are operationally incapable of doing the same as flesh and blood
I'm not saying OpenAI is close. Collectively we are tho. The train is rolling, unstoppable momentum. We just have to wait.
I recreated a thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38318763

But it is marked as dupe (HN seems to have already queried it and classified as broken link)
Yeah, AI will totally fail if people don't ship untested crap at breakneck speed.

Shipping untested crap is the only known way to develop technology. Your AI assistant hallucinates? Amazing. We gotta bring more chaos to the world, the world is not chaotic enough!!
Here's my stance on noncompetes: I'm fine with them as long as the employee is compensated sufficiently.

Wall Street firms will often have 12 month noncompetes but you get paid for that year. Details matter however. Like you might be paying for health insurance (COBRA). You won't be getting any bonus. Any bonus money in the fund gets removed and put into treasuries, which in some years may have a better performance so that's a mixed bag.

If Wall Street wants noncompetes, the employee should get paid 1.5 times the annual average total compensation they had for the previous 2, 3, 4 or 5 years, whichever is best for the employee.
Do you mean it's faster when the embeddings are pre-computed or is it faster when the embeddings are computed on the fly as well.

Isn’t that the exact point - an AGI won’t need a human at the helm.
You know i was thinking since years doing something like sdf.org but with jails. Where every user has a jail for themselves, but also a instance where every user can login into the same system ala sdf.
Games dont magically stop working the moment after support ends, you know.
Yea, change is bad.
We need to stop government incentives and let the market price solar. The government incentives are driving up prices by a ridiculous amount. The solar installation companies are dependent on them. The incentives are affecting the business structure of these companies making them brittle. The companies have to offer warrantees to justify the prices they charge but most can't manage to stay in business. It's a mess and most people are going to learn the hard way, which is not going to drive solar adoption. Roof top solar is going to end up with a really bad reputation for no reason.

We stepped on the gas pedal and left the damn car in first gear.
For most of human history, real wealth and power was in the form of real estate (as I understand it, the "real" in "real estate" is no accident, the etymology goes all the way back to proto-indo-european). That only really changed to capital with the industrial age, but even then land was needed to produce food to feed the workforce, and real estate hasn't vanished from the world.

Whenever AGI happens — and assuming this isn't a singularity-type change, and assuming that the AI is friendly rather than a paperclip optimiser etc. — the meaning of real power and wealth will change again, even though money (as currently understood) and land will still exist.

Russia is the biggest country in the world, but at ~1.7% of global GDP (and ~1/16th of the USA's) it's not even close to being a world-leading economic powerhouse. Post-AGI, I expect that even the company with the highest earnings or market capitalization will be to the dominant {entity related to AGI but not necessarily the AGI itself because it doesn't have to be a person or an agent in its own right for this argument} as Russia is to the US.
OpenAI hasn't made billions in profits. Their operating costs are huge and I'm pretty sure they're heavily reliant on outside funding.

Injustices are made to executives all the time. But airing dirty laundry is not sagacious.
A lot of those word counters count the same words but in different conjugation.

Which I do not. Though your count might be more accurate.
I dunno. Is "asset" really the right word for "your own little step on the pyramid scheme"
The router-based controls just don't work when the kid's phone has cellular access, combined with unlimited data plans. So then you're back to the device controls which don't work.

Some carriers offer primitive time-based access control but, again, they are broken too.
Exactly my thought.

But the real issue is why don't have browsers an integrated way of doing these computations by reading some HTML tags and also providing input widgets to make sure that it is universally readable by machines. Like <datetime ts="1700310507" ref-tz="Europe/Amsterdam" /> (if the event's timezone is Europe/Amsterdam, only for informational purposes)
Maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg (NASASpaceflight) would be better, as it's accessible without any login-wall and doesn't require creating an account to view.
I don't think NVDA would want to work on LLMs/AGI, it doesn't cohere with their business. In the short term they're focused on upscaling and frame generation, and long term it'd be neural rendering.
Hey, I'm just answering the question.

Not if they increase tariffs beyond the measly 10%. Which they should.
I find it fascinating how this occurred just after the big World Leader / CEO meet in SF.

Also, the paradox in the reactions to Sam Altman's firing is striking:

while there's surprise over it, the conversation here focuses mostly on its operational impact, overlooking the human aspect.

This oversight itself seems to answer why it happened – if the human element is undervalued and operations are paramount, then this approach not only explains the firing but also suggests that it shouldn't be surprising.

Another important question not discussed here: who sits on the board of OpenAI exactly and in full?

Another important aspect: The Orwellian euphemism used in the official announcement^0: “Leadership transition”. Hahaha :) Yes, I heard they recently had some "leadership transitions" in Myanmar, Niger and Gabon, too. OpenAI announces “leadership transition” is November 2023’s “Syria just had free and fair elections”

Last I checked population is rapidly falling there.
>My bet is that it could be all about some research directions that were "shielded" by Sam.

As far as I can tell, all three of them are of Polish descent. For all we know they might have decided to resign together even if only one of them had a personal issue with OpenAI's vision. We will find out soon enough whether they will just found their own competing startup, based on OpenAI's "secret sauce" or not.
Three other board members stepped down this year. It might not have been possible before.

I developed pretty nasty tenosynovitis in my inner wrist from using a Magic Pad over a year. I even tried switching to using it with my left hand instead of my right, and eventually developed the same problem in the other wrist.

It got bad enough I opted for cortisone injections.

This was about 10 years ago. I’ve avoided Apple’s input devices since, opting for proper ergonomic keyboards and mice, with no further RSI thankfully.
FYI 21.1.9 was released less than a month ago (https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2023-October/061515.html), they are still fixing bugs.
The fourth word of my answer is "of".

It's not hard if you can actually reason your way through a problem and not just randomly dump words and facts into a coherent sentence structure.
But keyboard wise, it's just holding down shift vs not holding down shift when typing. The difference in real life between m and M is less than you think :)

North Korea is a country that regularly test ICBM and nuclear bombs. But because of a crappy Photoshop those media reports are also fake? How many of the best hackers are also great at using Photoshop? Maybe kids in North Korea don't get to just dick around on the computer growing up and have their skills directed.

The main issue of such a license is that you can't fork the project when they go in a direction that you don't like.

Also, we can now say that Sentry is a proprietary software with open Sources but clearly not a free software anymore.

They are free to do whatever they want, but in my opinion it is an "asshole" move to say that you do a license to fight "free-riding" when you are standing on the shoulders of free software components like Python or somehow python frameworks like Django.
Sentry wouldn't even exist without free-riding.
The article doesn't address what I think is the most important aspect of noncompete agreements: compensation.

In France, and I believe in many other places as well, you can't have a noncompete without proper compensation. Compensation is relative to how it will affect the former employee career, it is usually less than a full wage, but it can be that if it makes finding a new job particularly difficult.

There have been a trend at one time of bullshit noncompete clauses that were too broad and didn't come with compensation, these are not enforceable. If they tried to sue the employee (they don't), they would be laughed off by the judge.
It’s cheaper to get an API key and use a client such as MacGPT.
Which puts into question the whole non-profitness anyway, but that aside:

They have still been operating pretty much like a for-profit for years now so my point still stands.
There’s no such thing as owning a non-profit.
Why is that the employee's problem? Pay the employee well and they will stick around.
I've been watching For All Mankind and a small subplot was the director finally choosing to "play ball with the big boys" in order as to secure funding and stability for NASA's scientific projects. It made NASA underlings unhappy but was justified as a necessary evil.

It's like a real-life example, i.e. what would you do if you were in the CEO's position?
I don't see why "does not hallucinate" is a viable definition for "intelligent." Humans hallucinate, both literally, and in the sense of confabulating the same way that LLMs do. Are humans not intelligent?
Perhaps that reflects the true cost, if Elastic is the one funding development, while AWS is a free-rider.
I am not defending for or against not sure why you replied to me.

But I think it is slightly silly reading your statements knowing that the individuals in that hyper specific industry are top earners already and educated to know what they are signing up for.
My thoughts exactly.

I watched the video but all I saw was a lengthy click-process.
The key feature is usage, not creation.

(Sidenote: I agree - Most future tools will profit from a having a JSON-like DSL that is amenable to be fed by content coming from LLMs)
Ofc it's "not possible" in that it may incur personal costs.

But it's the honorable thing to do if you truly believe in something.

Otherwise it's just virtue signalling.
Terrifying that people need this explained to them, bit they absolutely do, and I'm glad she is doing the work.

Agree. There’s definitely use to get a general pulse of whats happening. This isnt directed towards storytell or such apps, sorry if that came off that way.

I was addressing the parent’s comment about being overwhelmed about not being able to go through the opinions. I’ve felt similar way before I realised they were just fomo. If anything, apps like storytell are actually better way to consume these things :)
> All of these contracts are time limited, FWIW. E.g. non-solicitation doesn't mean you can never work your your colleagues again. It protects against someone leaving and then immediately poaching all employees within 12 months. After 12 months you're welcome to poach as much as you'd like.

For me that doesn't change anything. You should be allowed to tell your customer to come with you to a new business, the next day.

Companies know perfectly well that most of that value of the relationship is gone if you have to wait a year, so they pretend that time limiting is somehow reasonable.

The free market actually needs to be free.

You are thinking about stealing the rolodex. That would be probably theft. But personal relations and reputation is NOT company IP.

If you steal the rolodex, it's questionable for sure.

If you leverage your network and reputation, that's something that free market should never limit.
Yes. I changed my perspective - Altman would not fit in and be happy at Microsoft.
This is too simplified a position:

1. A company can usually go without hiring people than a worker can go without making mortgage payments or issuing rent. In the United States, that includes basic access to medical care.

2. Companies have large legal departments advising them on how to craft language and the boundaries of the law. Most workers don’t even want to pay a lawyer to review a contract knowing that they’ll almost always be told it’s standard and there are no exceptions.

3. People join a company when the relationship is good, and aren’t thinking about how it could be sour. This often includes verbal assurances about things like this which are not written into contracts, and a change in management which provides reason to leave also invalidates all of your assumption about who you entered into the agreement with. If you signed with “only a direct competitor” that probably seemed more reasonable at the time than when the new boss / acquiring company decides that since you work on software anyone else who works on software is a competitor. A lot of open source developers went through this with IP grabs which were agreed to cover only their new employer’s direct business but then a change in ownership meant that someone was trying to claim their hobby game or even non-software IP.

Yes, ideally everyone would know about this and refuse to deal with abusive companies but the reason we have laws is because that’s not how the works has ever worked. Providing clear boundaries is useful both because because society is healthier if even people who make minor mistakes or trust the wrong person are protected and because it levels the field for everyone. If the law says no non-competes, people don’t need to generate millions in revenue for lawyers telling them why company A is offering less than company B, and company C is not going to try to bully their existing employees into accepting a worse deal. It’s the same reason we say “your boss can’t demand sex” / “teachers can’t have sex with students” because that avoids having to individually litigate each case to decide whether some power gradient was crossed. Simple boundaries are enormously useful, and in this case there’s really no downside (New York would love it if banning non-competes devastated their economy into California’s).

You are seriously unable to read time based values, aren't you?
Some people are into that sort of thing, I think this board just needs to get with the times.
OK so they steal some Magic Internet Tokens, but how does that help pay the actual bills? You can't import oil or materials or microchips in exchange for Buttcoins. You will have to find a fool to give you real money in exchange of those tokens right? Even China and Russia won't accept funny-money in exchange of real goods. Sure, they will be able to sell some of those tokens on some exchanges to DCAing gamblers or laser-eyed folks like Saylor and Bukele, but that won't net them Billions. Also, the money will have to flow through some banking channels even if from some shady island nations. How do they actually liquidate the stolen tokens?
Because investor-owned homes don't take up space? Limit sprawl by defining untouchable nature reserves and have the market work backwards from there.

The only sensible way to go about it would be to just drop it one day, no fan fair, no announcements, no additional hype.
> The point of her work (and mine and Dr. Horvitz’s as well) is to make it clear that putting AI in charge of nuclear weapons and other existential questions is self-defeating
