LLMs have changed the world more profoundly than any technology in the past 2 decades, I'd argue.

The fact that we can communicate with computers using just natural language, and can query data, use powerful and complex tools just by describing what we want is an incredible breakthrough, and that's a very conservative use of the technology.
How is it being one of like 12 people globally who actually do this?

Re Educasso. what kind of schools are you thinking of public private charter? Also do teachers create their own content? I thought the content always came from a tie up of the school to a publisher that supplies all of it. It's hard to supplant publishers in grade school IIUC.

Consciousness has no technical meaning. Even for other humans, it is a (good and morally justified) leap of faith to assume that other humans have thought processes that roughly resemble your own. It's a matter philosophers debate and science cannot address. Science cannot disprove the p-zombie hypothesis because nobody can devise an empirical test for consciousness.

Bitcoins aren't individual. You just have addresses with an associated sum, once two different addresses send 1 Bitcoin each to that address, those are equal and if you send 1 Bitcoin from the address who just received it, it's not one of Bitcoins that was received that got sent, it's just two values being updated at the same time (sender's amount decremented, receivers amount incremented).

What you can do, is blacklist specific addresses, and deny receiving/sending to anything that been "in contact" with that address. But you will for sure end up blocking more than you want with this approach, although that might not be a huge issue for the ones who are trying to block things.
What's driving the timeline for v1 release?

While I agree with your sentiment that copyright needs to be respected, that is a problem with "AI" in general and not specifically with OpenAI.
I disagree. I don’t think LLMs are a pathway to AGI. I think LLMs will lead to incredibly powerful game-changing tools and will drive changes that affect the course of humanity, but this technology won’t lead to AGI directly.

I think AGI is going to arrive via a different technology, many years in the future still.

LLMs will get to the point where they appear to be AGI, but only in the same way the latest 3D rendering technology can create images that appear to be real.
We are actually kind of agreeing.
Let me change my words a little bit then.

The barrier to entry was significantly lowered through electronics. I was making music on Fruity loops when I was 12 years old. It was shit, but I had everything I needed in a single program. Becoming a producer however is extremely difficult.

The same will happen with AI. The barrier of entry to making something nice will be even lower. But mastering the AI tools, and really using it and combining it with musical knowledge will be extremely hard.

And those people will rise to the top of creating new musical genres, with the inclusion of AI.
Yeah, it's almost like the metaverse.

> Gas stations make about 10 cents per gallon gross profit

According to 7-11, 39.75 cents per gallon in first half of 2022. Also, while same-store merch sales grew 4.9% y-o-y, gas gallons sold grew 44%. (page 25 of the link)

https://issuu.com/avantimag/docs/avanti_sept_oct_2022_final

> 7-11 and Wawa have been serving gas since as long as I can remember.

You must be young, Wawa was not traditionally a gas station. It opened its first store in 1964 and had over 500 by 1992, but the first with gas was in 1996.

7-11's history and relationship with gas is more complex, but most legacy stores were freestanding store only (no gas).

> Overwhelmingly, such people do not want to live in a city with slums.

They'll vote that way, but they won't take any action more concrete than that. Look at San Francisco. Its center is surrounded by slums. Its outlying region to the east, Oakland, was traditionally one big slum. And the reason Oakland became a little less slumlike is that San Francisco was attracting too many residents.
Meanwhile in the real world we now have 4 year olds reading this evil product of Cultural Marxism. Just one small example. Many states have legislated against it because it is becoming an actual problem for society.

If had a bunch of badass hackers in my dictator-run country, and I want to try to exploit that fact for as long as possible, I'd probably make sure to give the impression that my country is so backwards we cannot even edit images correctly, so people give me the benefit of doubt.
Assuming most people that use cryptoassets are criminals is not very nice. The media loves to talk about criminals using it, as though criminals do not use every other asset class as well.

I buy all sorts of things. To name a few....

Cloud servers, VPN subscriptions, hardware security modules, random number generators, mechanical puzzles, anonymous donations to charities, payments to/ from friends for splitting checks at dinner, coffee from Backyard Coffee in Palo Alto, beer from a bar in Germany, a usb battery at a electronics store in Japan.

Friend of mine even uses it to buy sex toys online with reasonably good privacy.

Everything I have ever purchased with cryptoassets is legal and the same is true as far as I know of all the many friends I have that make regular use of them as well.

Some of us actually believe in centralized finance without central government control, and others just like to buy things or move value around without fees or having their purchase history sold.
> Especially for low-skilled immigrants whose main way to compete is willingness to work for low wages.

A race to the bottom, exploitative labour market is not what we want here in Sweden.

Preying on someone's desperation to work for lower wages than what collectively we think is fair is pure exploitation. The labour market in Sweden is quite free and mostly deregulated, the main pillar of the foundation for it being fair is for employers and employees to engage in negotiations, unions play a key role in regulating the labour market to set a minimum threshold.

You are just advocating for allowing exploitation of immigrants.
Providing any second timezone but not UTC/GMT is really weird. I don't want to have to figure out what other countries are doing with their daylight savings, just give me UTC and I'll know my current offset.
It’s the opposite. They are irrationally fearful of what they have built. Therefore, they will handicap any progress or competitive advantage that they have.
Most sources with news or accusations against North Korea do not have much evidence. For most countries, if hackers steal something, you do not assume as first hypothesis that their government was responsible. Just the usual psy ops and propaganda against a target identified as enemy. Of course, perhaps it is truth and they indeed use military funding to scam people and evade sanctions (which should not exist anyway in my opinion). If so, no conclusive evidence would exist anyway, this operation would have a plausible deniability that it was just talented individuals commiting crimes, not state operatives.
Well it seems you are a big mouth on the internet.

> For example, in a typical event driven architecture where you have worker threads running each on separate core, there would be something to decide where the task is queued and usually the logic will take into account how busy particular worker thread is.

Wouldn't that work well only if the time taken by each task is predictable?
I.e. you mention working on a trading system. But in a trading system you want to run the same branchless code path regardless of the kind of incoming event and whether you are sending an order or not after running the trading logic.
So the individual "task" is very predictable.

On the other hand think of a task like "return all the comments for a certain page". The time taken by an individual task is unpredictable, proportional to the number of comments.
So you'll regularly get one core getting enqueued a bunch of tasks with no comments, finishing quickly and then staying idle.

With work stealing, after finishing, that core would get a chance at "stealing" tasks from other threads' queues.

(of course, the architecture I am describing would be awful for a trading system)

> The operating system does nothing in this case, what it sees is a number of threads each running on its separate core that don't need to be preempted (hopefully).

Btw, I agree that pinning OS threads to each core and then layering something of your own on top of it is going to be faster. It is just that you can layer on top a green thread system (like Go), and get something thread-for-request -like.
Isn't this from June? And wasn't this known when OpenAI created their for-profit entity and partnered with MS
Absolutely none of that is necessarily voluntary. You have missed the point entirely. A choice between "X or die" is not a choice. That is a very real scenario, which you have not even acknowledge. Instead, you're saying I should be an expert in contracts.

You don’t want to measure the total number of users, but rather the number of active users. Otherwise agreed.
There are ~250k members of IF Metall, that makes it US$ 4k per member.

That isn't a monumental amount of capital to ensure worker protections when needed, how do you think the union could keep a strike if it doesn't have money in the piggybank to cover members salaries if required?

Please, don't be a corporation apologist.

I don't actually see anything changing, though. There are cool demos, and LLMs can work effectively to enhance productivity for some tasks, but nothing feels fundamentally different. If LLMs were suddenly taken away I wouldn't particularly care. If the clock were turned back two decades, I'd miss wifi (only barely available in 2003) and smartphones with GPS.

2. Can you share inference speed info? I know that Colbert should be slow since it creates many embeddings per passage
After all, OpenAI's original mission was to create the first AGI, before some bad guys do, iirc.
Nah.

The EX90 is being built in South Carolina for the US market. Polestar 3 and 4 will also be built there.

XC40 and C40 Recharge are built in Ghent, Belgium. The EX30 will also be manufactured there starting in 2025.

Somewhat complete list here[0], but it's not including the US-built Polestar 3 and 4 which were announced in 2021. Maybe those plans have changed, not sure. Also if the US EV incentives were to go away, see planned US production to diminish across the board.

You could equally flip your questions: If you only do things that your employees like, then why would you care if they have a union or not? In that case, the only thing a union would do is ensure that this state persists, which definitely is beneficial to employees.

Even a company that's great to work for today is just one leveraged buyout or restructuring away from worker's hell.
> Not sure what moral principal and analysis you are applying to reach this conclusion.

I'm not the parent, but I think it's clear: if I'm a charity, and I have a subordinate that is for profit, then I'm not a charity. I'm working for profit, and disguising myself for the benefits of being a charity.
What does that have to do with unions in Sweden?

That's pretty opposite of what most dictatorships do, though, right? Usually they want to seem to be more than they are. If it's originating from N.

> What you’re advocating for is normalizing the stealing of company IP.

I am not.

> The way you solicit clients from a prior company is downloading the client list, exporting to a personal drive, quitting, then using the list to poach.

Which part of this is "IP"?

The whole concept of "stealing IP" is something that was lobbied in to prevent market competition and establish monopolies. Calling a list of clients that might choose to vote with their wallets for better service "IP" is one of the most ridiculous claims I've seen here lately and pretty much proof of how this term has become a problem for modern free market society.

While IP protection itself is critical for some innovation, the way you all wield it to defend monopolization and entrenchment is a main reason to rethink what IP and protection actually gives to american economy.
You are entitled to your opinion, but there's a reason Verne Lundquist is an iconic hall-of-fame broadcaster assigned to the biggest events, and you're not. In the moment, he could have stuck to describing the athletics "a perfectly-executed chip shot" or the situation "Tiger Woods takes the lead" but he immediately recognized this shot was truly once in a lifetime, highly-emotional, bigger than any individual event, and spoke to that instead.

As far as the words he improvised, I would challenge you to find examples of other sentences in news or literature or culture that start with the exact phrase "In your life" (followed by "have you seen", not "did", your prior comment is incorrect). The guy basically created a new sentence structure in the language right on the spot, on the biggest stage.

> what kind of schools are you thinking of public private charter?

Initially, private schools because adoption is easier. But, long-term, I'd like to help public schools too.

> do teachers create their own content? I thought the content always came from a tie up of the school to a publisher that supplies all of it. It's hard to supplant publishers in grade school IIUC.

Teachers can create their own content, if they want to. Based on my experience talking to teachers, though, they prefer when the content is already created because they don't have much time to do it.

At some point, I'll probably look into partnering with publishers. I think this will help distribution because it's pretty hard to sell learning materials directly to schools.

In some places it's more flexible, though. I'm constantly talking to teachers and school managers to see how we can make it work but I'm foreseeing some roadblocks. I think Educasso will take a bit longer to reach the market.
What are you offering that's different from already existing solutions like Moodle or Opigno[1]?

For example with Opigno you can already build an open-source based education platform with content authoring with H5P[2] (HTML-5 based interactive content)

I've used Opigno LMS in the past, it's Drupal based so it's easy to deploy/maintain and basically have all features you advertise.
Schools especially may use a learning platform for 10+ years, at least when authoring with H5P they are not stuck in a single platform anymore. What's your solution for this problem?

The loss of flash left a lot of courses or interactive learning content unusable, that's a mistake I hope new platforms don't repeat.

We as an industry and community have settled on the irrevocably of Open Source licenses. I doubt that any court would rule against this notion today. Too much would be at stake.
