I find 2 (dangerous) scenarios to be most likely, one easier to reason about than the other:

1. Access is not uniformly distributed, thus some entity uses it to create immense inequality.

2. The AI becomes sufficiently intelligent and powerful that it looks at humans the same way we look at monkeys and treats us similarly (in other words, not overly concerned with human flourishing or even survival while commanding resources humans need to survive and flourish).

Neither of these necessarily mean "destroy" humans, and neither are by any means guaranteed (though #1 seems almost a foregone conclusion) but it could very well lead to an existential threat.

It's also possible we get a combination of the 2, wherein a subsect of humans can merge with AI but it is inaccessible to all.

There are other less existential concerns as well though, such as at what point does such a system become conscious and deserve rights? I'm not confident we really have any idea how to ascertain that, and bumbling into it could be tantamount to torture.
As far as I've read so far Apple is adding RCS support to the Messages app, aka alongside SMS & MMS: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/16/23964171/apple-iphone-rc...

It's not clear if iMessage will interoperate via RCS, which is what would make blue/green bubbles less relevant. My assumption would be no as they'd cede moat, and there isn't much of a network effect for them to gain from.
DIY vs. Unified API vs. EL: how (not) to work with external data in your product
It appears that Altman was fired for "not being consistently candid" by a board that is neither consistent nor candid.
Erm, 37+ years at a senior level, more total years of industry experience than Apple has been in business (and still years younger than Apple's youngest founding employee) has led me to agree with the original poster, deal with it. (Still badly downvoted heheh -
https://i.imgflip.com/6to2m8.jpg)

OpenAI has two types of customers: MS and Everyone Else. The original poster expresses the feeling of Everyone Else (including me). We now know we CAN GET FIRED for not knowing better than to avoid OpenAI just a few weeks after we found out we CAN GET FIRED for not betting on OpenAI and betting heavily on it! (In the Business world, where perception is often mistaken for reality, it isn't going to be considered an "honest mistake" if an enterprise sustains a capital loss due to a problem with a new OpenAI deployment after the obvious business integrity issues at OpenAI we're all seeing play out now, including just about everyone at OpenAI threatening to quit, allegations that OpenAI ILLEGALLY allowed a for-profit subsidiary to influence the operations of its nonprofit parent, allegations of breach of fiduciary to the stakeholders --many of whom are also key employees, etc.) Yeah, Microsoft has signaled it will quickly get between OpenAI and Everyone Else and then Everyone Else can bet solely on Microsoft (the world's largest company by valuation), but that only gets us back to being able to use the current "GPT4turbo" generation of the system (and who knows if/when Microsoft will spin that up so we can resume building)? But as far as counting on any future versions of that tech, or even optimizations to the current generation, that's all believed to be above Microsoft's current level of expertise until/unless they legally acquire OpenAI and resolve all of its outstanding liabilities, which may not even be legally possible before OpenAI's assets (that have legs) take flight to SalesForce and others who are already reported to be making lucrative offers OpenAI's workforce --and oh, the annual holiday period is underway here in the US, the perfect time for stressed out engineers to take the rest of the year off, travel beyond the cell service at the ski areas and start anew after CES 2024 wraps.

When this came out, most people were distrustful because it was a secret. It was seen as a way to force device upgrades, not save devices. If they had been transparent, even in documentation, (and allowed opt out) it would have curbed some of this backlash.

Hindsight is 20/20. Something that seemed like a good decision at the time may have been a good decision for the time, but not necessarily a great decision half a century later. That has nothing to do with engineering competency, only fortune telling competency.

I get that people here don't like profanity, but I don't see any slight in describing engineering decisions like optimizing for common workloads today over hypothetical loads tomorrow as 'fucking over the future'. Slightly hyperbolic, sure, but it's one of the most common decisions made in designing systems, and commonly causes lots of issues down the line. I don't see where saying something is a mistake that looks obvious in retrospect is a slight. Most things look obvious in tetrospect.
I was assuming it meant 'Significant New Information'-lessness. Which perfectly captures why I've found the discussion frustrating, since there was loads of speculation on no concrete information. So even if it was a typo, I think it's a great new word
Show HN: Zod Search Params
Hello HN,

This is my first ever public library, I'd be glad for any comments/suggestions of any kind.
GitHub: https://github.com/theboxer/zod-search-params

I'm a big fan of persisting parts of an app's state (usually filters, pagination and sort) in the URL params, since it's easier to share specific state of an app with others and provides out of the box persistence across reloads.

But working with URL params in JS/TS is kind of weird, there's no built in type safety, or default values. I decided to give it a shot and create a library, utilising zod's schema validation, that solves those problems.

It converts URL params to desired types, provides a default value (if specified & desired) and correctly type the output.

Thanks!
I feel sorry for the people that have to use it to commute every day. Surely their hearing must be being damaged.
Whoa GPT-4 weights! Stop the presses. That is an artifact of the process. They have license to play the game but don't have the IP to make the game.

I wonder how deeply the board and the rotating CEOs actually understand the technology and practicality of achieving AGI, or whether they are falling over themselves due to buying into the LLM hype.
I've got an Oasis 3rd gen (2019). My last Kindle before that was the 3rd gen "Kindle Keyboard" (2010). I'd say the Oasis has a longer-living battery than the old one, but I've always been pretty aggressive about turning off its radios and 'smart' features.

I love the Oasis, I'd like it if they made a slightly larger variant with USB-C. Basically the form of the Scribe, but I'd rather skip the pen input.

Clothing is important in that sense, but fashion as a changing thing and especially fast fashion isn't. I suppose it can be a nice hobby for some, but for society as a whole it's at best a wasteful zero-sum pursuit.
You mean the single press release that stated the CEO has been fired? It was definitely aggressively worded, but without more facts I don’t think you can honestly claim to know whether it was embarrassing, dramatic, or in fact unfairly aggressive at all. It could have been dramatically understated.
True, but at the same time, it’s a very small attack vector. I’d say the vast majority of users could really care less that an iMessage is decrypted for a brief period in-memory on some Mac VM in a data center.

You place your trust in 3rd party cloud servers for so many things. Email, as an example, is far more confidential / important, but most people never have it encrypted.

It’s still a fair criticism, but I still see Beeper + iMessage as more privacy-friendly than like FB Messenger (which has way more users).
This is a lie. The slow-down of YouTube page loads was done on purpose. YouTube worked perfect with ad-blockers for a decade. It only started now.
Ummm... it's also about <<who>> emigrated where.

The US, Canada and Australia get upper middle class/upper class immigrants. Naturally they're more upwardly socially mobile.

Europe basically gets anyone who can fly 2 hours, get on a boat for 20 hours or drive/be driven for 20 hours.
I wonder if future tube lines could have some sort of cooling system to pump heat into some underground reservoir in summer which could then be the source for a district heating system above ground in winter.

I'm just wondering about how to make the problem a benefit.
> however, while I think that the SPA approach can be nice to keep the front end separate from whatever technology you use on the back end, it comes at a cost of duplicating your data model and the interfaces between them

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I get it, because once you have your view model in asp.net, it seems like it should be easy to derive a JS/TS model from it using various techniques (reflection, source generators, etc.).
Those are just refurbished current stock I believe, so likely will still have no air con.
Looking more and more like the dev day nuking of D’Angelo’s Poe led to this outcome. I’m surprised that connection has escaped close scrutiny - it was a conflict of interest AND now Poe is viable again as intended. For a minor player in AI he’s managed to maximize his interests and while serving on a non-profit board.
> If you’re not biased you can come up with all sorts of reasons that are at least as based in reality as the assumptions that they’re gonna want to (and be able to) kill us…

Yup. But that would be so boring and not generate lots of clicks at all...
> I would be more worried about Europe.

Not really a concern. The AI phobia here in Europe is pretty bad, to the point where governments are shooting themselves in the foot by legislating progress on advancing tech out.
What's written is quite right, but is quite short ;-)

I was expecting a bit more "Then what" (the rest of the website is okayish).

One thing that also is important is: luck in timing, mass in market.

You can be as daring as you want, if you don't come at the right time for the market, and if the market is not sizable enough, then your effort will be fruitless.
Even then, that “shortlist” was clearly built in a total scramble after their first interim CEO sided with Sam.

Which is at least good to hear but typically you would think there would have been feelers out there to gauge temperature. Perhaps this is indicative of a board that does not have as much business professional experience.

Still hilarious that Emmett Shear was not only offered the role but accepted. Amusing to see the individual who said we need to severely slow down AI work to now be heading up the leading company in the space.

Edit: I guess the true measure is that nobody read the room from employees and went ahead with this whole fiasco.

Are we beginning to see "specialized SLMs"? We've already seen some pretend-agent based solutions (where the same model is given several different roles and made to act as eg. ceo / architect / dev / sales in a startup).

I wonder if the way forward is to train smaller models with different sets of "skills" or "neural affinities". One for reasoning, one for summarization, one for math, one for code, etc - then combining them into full-fledged solutions. Perhaps smaller models can be "better" at their specific domains/tasks than the giant generalist models can be at any of them.

What if the credentials in question are a high school certificate? ChatGPT has certainly made life more difficult for high school and middle school teachers.
If #1 is real, he’s just the biggest weasel in tech history by repenting so swiftly and decisively… I don’t think neither the article, nor the broader facts really point to him being the first to cast the stone.
Call it Blazor weirdness then. This obviously wasn’t a swipe at Microsoft being closed, just a point that Blazor stuff is not general standard web stuff.

I'm tired of this. Read the friendly book.

You want to preach from your high horse. It's not just about conformity. There are a lot of misaligned axes. Again, read the book.

Cultures can be more similar and more different. On many axes it doesn't matter, on some it matters a great deal.

This is the first time I'm noticing you have a treatment on versioning in handaxeweb. I don't have time to read now, but I've bookmarked it for later meditation.

You might also consider using the file format from the WHATWG/W3C hypertext system as your source code + presentation format. (I.e. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.) Readers that support the format (i.e. web browsers) are ubiquitous, and JS is capable and every bit as good of a didactic language as other choices (if not better, e.g. in comparison to Python). Viz:

<https://www.colbyrussell.com/LP/debut/index.html>

(It happens to have the nice property of supporting forward declarations and function redefinition, not demonstrated in the link above.)

Once you understand the trick, you can exploit it to great effect for other purposes, like the plain.txt.htm hack:

Some journalists on X are claiming that this story is fabricated
The article is not quite explicit about that, but it does say "cooler running trains could help to cool the tunnels, but it would take decades to notice the difference, or they can use that temperature gap between the new and old trains to put air conditioning inside the carriages today... If a future plan to run even more trains through the tunnels goes ahead, that will require increased cooling in the stations, which, funding permitting, is being developed at the moment."

The implication seems to be that an equilibrium (or something very close to it) has been reached for the current traffic volume (and putting aside climate change, presumably.)
Rather than putting up a conspiracy theory the much more plausible explanation is that this board evidently pissed off a lot of customers, powerful people in tech and almost all employees of openai.
From looking at it for a few minutes, the gist seems to be software-rendered wayland applications in a Container, streamed into a browser via Go? Or a Desktop client? Not certain yet.

Interesting question here would be the performance - is this efficient enough to get low latency and high framerates? if yes, this could be useful for a bunch of stuff, where you want to spin up a heavyweight GUI app on some kubernetes cluster quickly (think remote dev setup) and stream it to your laptop/tablet.

Edit: Looks like a Desktop client application, also written in Go. But the streaming is implemented with WebRTC and some custom signalling for keyboard/mouse/gamepad feedback, so this could theoretically also be adopted for a Webbrowser I guess?

It can't possibly work, if you want your nicer domain to be globally unique.

Twitter is a feed of what's getting attention right now, a cresting wave of what people are talking about.

If you have to make an analogy with food, it's like ice cream from a street vendor on a hot day. It's not food, its value expires rapidly if you don't consume it when it's fresh, and it's a little bit addictive.
Well I don't think that's really an interpretation so much as it is a strategy certain people may take, and as you're alluding to a very fallible one at that. It certainly could be a reasonable strategy to amass wealth and power and wield that for altruistic reasons, such a person does indeed stand to be much more effective than most. But of course people are quite corruptible and intentions can be fuzzy, so there's no guarantees that person will follow through, or that whatever they had to do to amass that money/wealth was worth it for the ultimate good.

Again one can look at the underlying tenets of such a creed and evaluate them for their conceptual merit without blasting the entire enterprise because some people abuse them for personal gain.

I don't think it's a myth. The UK is actually two economies. It's basically southern Italy with NYC bolted onto it. The average numbers like those you've posted include London and look basically OK, but the London effect is hiding a lot.

Take out London and the rest of the UK is an economic basket case with low education levels, high rents, rapidly aging citizens, low wages, low investment, low productivity, a small tax base and a public estate in poor condition.

Listen to Eliezer Yudkowsky's arguments. Perhaps it looks silly to you but there are actually _extremely_ good reasons to be worried about AI progress without figuring out alignment first. What would happen if we gave humanity the internet before we had cryptography?

On a side note, it's troubling how many hyper intelligent and successful people in tech are happy to denigrate the opposition in bad faith.
Judging from the current situation, openai's board of directors are all shameless people. If they still have dignity, they should resign immediately. They were unqualified and incapable of managing one of the most important technology companies in the world, and they destroyed a shining company, a great product, and the dreams of countless people. I will never use Poe and Quora again, and I will boycott any product related to Adam D'Angelo. Adam D'Angelo is an asshole.He doesn't have any shares in OpenAI, so he doesn't care about destroying OpenAI at all.Absolutely ridiculous, the only reason I can think of is that he's extremely jealous of Sam.
