We've open-sourced the code how to integrate your Assistant API with all the the four platforms with only a few lines of code within 20 mins.
So if Google ignores their demands (which is a certainty), do you think all these employees who so strongly believe in their cause will quit their jobs and stop supporting the corporate machine or just forget about it and continue to enjoy their paychecks and RSU vests?
The math ends up wildly unfavorable unless you are EXTREMELY confident in your teaching/transformation abilities.

If you look good on paper before the school then you don't need it and won't be motivated to share your income. So the applicant pool reduces itself to those who on-paper don't have great chances. So you need to cause a really big delta in the ability of those people to make good money in the industry for you to be able to get your cut.

And you're gonna pull that off in 6 to 9 months? I'm a big believer in a lot more people having potential to learn than currently have easy opportunities, but that's a hell of a timeline.
The comment above misses the point in at least four ways. (1) Being aware of history is not the same as endorsing it. (2) Knowledge graphs are useful for many applications. (3) How narrow of a mindset and how much hindsight bias must one have to claim that Lenat wasted decades of his life? (4) Don’t forget to think about this in context about what was happening in the field of AI.

> Still, leptospirosis has not been a prime concern from the rats' mischief until recently. Between 2001 and 2020, the city logged an average of just three leptospirosis cases a year—and some of those were travel related. But, things took a turn during the pandemic when the rat population seemed to boom. From 2021 and 2022, the average shot up to 15. In 2023, there were 24 cases, the highest number of cases ever recorded for a single year. And as of April 10, there have been six cases so far.

Obviously, rats??! Yuck!!

But finding more cases today doesn't mean they weren't there in the past. They could have been there but undiscovered. Levels increased along with the pandemic (read: more people given any symptoms headed straight to the doctor).

To that end, if the Android operating system is better suited for the business needs he has as a video creator, he would be incentivized to choose that platform even if it isn't what he "prefers" all else being equal.

It's clearly not true: Acts of hate and discrimination are at highs; White nationalism and Christian nationalism are at multi-generational highs, with advocates in the White House and Congress. Leading news organizations promote replacement theory; laws openly discriminate against immigrants, liberals, and LGBTQ+ people.

Much of that is not done by and otherwise not uncommon in the Republican party.

I've experienced it firsthand. Reading about a topic that I have very little knowledge about, nodding along thinking that this makes sense. Then doing some research and finding that the comment wasn't entirely wrong, but just wrong enough to cause harm to a users understanding.

It is very easy to see when it is a topic with which you are intimately familiar. Seeing people on video game subreddits confidently discuss game development and being not just wrong about game dev, but wrong about any software development practices.

>intentional misspelling and curse words will start to be used to "scare off" AIs and bots

If they deem the content valuable enough, I suspect they'd instead just correct for it (e.g. auto-correct mispellings; replace and/or omit curse words).

It may get to the point wherein the only way to secure content from AI ingestion is to hide it behind a paywall or otherwise make it non-public, then forbid via the TOS. There'd probably need to be court challenges even then.

I also wonder if the LinkedIn case involving scraping (wherein the ruling was essentially that public data was fair game), will be re-tested in the age of AI.

Okay, but where are "engineers who are skilled in AI" magically going to spring from? The pool for such talent is effectively empty.

This is effectively the world's dumbest swap meet - they dump a bunch of good, experienced employees. And in 6 months they are going to be hiring the laid off employees from other companies who are most effective at embellishing their resume. Great job! So smart.
I know I can do that, but I'd rather not have to bother. It's actually easier to open a video in a separate app. In the YouTube app on my phone I can tap the Share button and then send it to the NewPipe app. Easy-peasy.

I attended Lambda when it was first starting out. I think I was in the third or fourth cohort. At the time, the sell was that you didn't have to pay anything unless you got a job using the skills you learned from them. I was pretty naïve, I guess.

Things seemed fine in the beginning. The instructors were good, and I liked that there were actual live classes. Things degraded very quickly. They kept changing the format and the curriculum ("iterating"). They doubled the length of the program that I was in, which made it impossible for me to even finish it. I was working in a tech support job where we had to do shift bids and no shift was guaranteed. I enrolled in a plan that fit the shift I was working, and the expected end date, and when they changed the program length and format, I couldn't complete it.

They promised career guidance, including having a career councilor, but I never got one. They kept telling my cohort we would get our councilors after this or that milestone, but when we got there they would move the goalpost again. The closest we got was a resume course that was not relevant to tech at all and a resume review by another student.

When I had to drop out of the program, I tried to get them to cancel the ISA or reduce it, but they said I had completed "most" of the curriculum and thus was on the hook for all of the ISA.

They then started billing me for it because I was working in tech, in the job I had for 6 years before I ever even started their program.

I went to a lawyer and was told it wasn't worth suing, because they required arbitration in NYC, which would cost more than I would save.

They split the students to take away their power. They kicked people off Slack, wiping the incriminating message history, and then re-adding students (woopsie), they allowed rampant racism to be posted in the channels. They did so many shady things with arbitration, it was absolutely harmful.

_The_ (one) root reason? Ok, I’ll bite.

But you need to define your claim. What application?
> It was proven with math

How is anything "proven" with math alone? No observable evidence needed, really?

Math may help model and explain things we can already observe, but I've never heard of math discovering things that are not observed, and it being called "proof".

Because obviously you can model a lot more than what's physically possible in a language like math, like for example the impossible case of an infinite number of oranges. In math I can even say "Infinity + 1" and it counts (literally). And have more oranges than what's in your infinity crate. Doesn't mean it's real or "proof" of anything in the real world. Doesn't the observation come first, and the math just explains what was observed?

I think most of the cars are irrelevant, with photos of a bumper in front of them, and the commuter posts aren't in large enough numbers for organic social propagation.

These things, as I understand them, are highly choreographed, with photographers and calls to media outlets. The protesters dont even point their signs at the cars.[1] [2]

Commuters stuck in cars are simply a hook for the traditional and social media to run with. A story about a CEO office can be a similar hook, perhaps moreso when there was a story about traffic blockage a day or two before.

> based on the premise that republicans are racist

They offer plenty of evidence, and so do the Republicans themselves, some of whom openly embrace white nationalism, Christian nationalism, replacement theory, etc. Openly defying convention and saying racist things is commonplace and cliche. Going back further, someone in this thread even quoted the interview about school busing.

At this point, the reputational risk that one malfunctioning generative AI has on _all_ generative AI is concerning.
It's not that it's difficult to set up, it's that they actively put restrictions in place to completely hamstring the usability. The only shortcut I have is a geofence to automatically text my GF when I am near her house so I don't need to use my phone when I'm driving and I don't need to wait out front for an excessive amount of time. But get this: you can't actually make a shortcut that runs on a geofence, the best you can do is get notified when you're in the target area, at which point you must manually unlock your phone and trigger the event.

It has to be some boneheaded attempt at "Privacy", to that end they also force you to accept a notification saying that there are N shortcuts running on the phone Every. Single. Time. you restart your phone.

They destroy everyone's UX (and force a non-0 number of folks to unnecessarily use their phone when driving) in order to kinda-sorta-maybe prevent some corner case where a stalker had access to your phone and wants to notify themselves whenever you're around a specific location? Except they could just enable the always-on location sharing feature to get precise location data at every moment?

It boggles the mind.

Recently a number of actions by FTC and CFPB have been taken due to false claims of job placement or success, especially when tied to financing options. If a college makes a claim like this that is patently false it’s worth sending to them.
And I can't trust that site. An example:

3,129 days since Elon Musk said Teslas would have 1,000 kilometer (621 mile) range within a year or two. (9/23/2015)

"My guess is probably we could break 1,000 kilometers within a year or two. I'd say 2017 for sure."

An altered quote taken out of context. Here what he actually said from the interview[1]:

Q: When will we break the 1000km range mark for an electric car?

M: A thousand kilometers, hmm. Well, it depends under what circumstances for a thousand kilometers. As it is, the record right now for Model S is 800 km. That is the furthest that anyone has driven a Model S...

Q: So we could be close?

M: Yeah, we're pretty close. Now, in order to do that they did drive at a relatively slow speed. So, you know, we're taking, I think they drove maybe at 40 or 50 km/h or something like that. But I think, my guess is probably we could break a 1000km within... a year or two?

Q: Okay, so within 2016 maybe even?

M: I say if you say 2017 I'd say 2017 for sure.

His prediction turned out completely accurate[2].

No. Terrible people won because terrible people were in positions of power, as is the case often.

Good jobs, great jobs even, can and do turn to shit overnight. It's often the management itself.

People don't leave bad jobs they leave bad people.

The job is something in their life workers, in a non-slave market, can take control of.

There's no good reason for a person to stay working for nutters.

There's no good|sane reason to reward bad behavior.

They have ZERO obligation to fix a toxic workplace and culture.

That is management's failing entirely.

The thing is, the vast majority of convicts in jail are genuinely guilty. I'd put it at 99% at least, probably more. And even many of the "innocent" people there are more likely to be of the kind: "I did not rob and kill this guy, I only fenced his watch".

What can be done with it? I now believe that the only way is more aggressive policing with almost zero tolerance. At the same time, the jail terms need to go _down_.

So if you steal bread to feed your sister's starving children, you WILL go to jail, just like Jean Valjean. But only for a couple of days, not 19 years.

Additionally, prisons and jails need to become _better_. No unpaid labor, better conditions, different tiers of jails for different offenders. Mental health resources and job training.

Oh, and alternatives to jail such as community service are great too.
I do not write Rust. My day-to-day job is C++'s application support and, frankly, what Rust offers does not help there.

When I do programming for fun, I prefer to use Haskell into which "Rust" can be embedded to, if I need that. But, the problems I am interested to look deep into do not benefit from borrow checker's checks. Sparse non-negative matrix language modeling is not a thing Rust can help with. ;)

(any continuous problems like ML do not benefit from borrow checker)

And I do not use emacs. I use vim. As an EDITOR for midnight commander. I go to ghci when I need feedback, not earlier. ;)
>One limited resource that we are approximately all given the same amount of is time

True, but I believe also its important to factor in that those in lower socioeconomic classes effectively have their time stolen from them in many ways.

ex: I don't enjoy fixing the vast majority of things I have to fix, (although there can be a sense of satisfaction in it sometimes), but I have to 1st learn to do so and then do it because I absolutely need it fixed, but don't have the funds to pay to have it done. To compound the loss of time, financially wealthy people can afford to buy new things, like automobiles, which dont break down or require nearly as much maintenance.

Many other things are also outsourced by people because their time is too valuable to do otherwise this outsourcing is just not an option for others.

He has some PhD students doing what seems to me to be reasonable work that gets published at NeurIPS. Somewhat speculative, of the flavor you’d expect from theoretical physicists doing AI work, but it’s at least speculation about concrete technologies that exist, not pure metaphysics. For example, there’s a recent paper proposing and validating in small models a possible mechanism to explain some power laws seen in NN scaling curves [1]. May turn out to be wrong, but doesn’t seem nutty to me. On the other hand, I’d guess these papers specifically are probably not what got him famous in AI circles. For that his general self-created role as AI futurist is probably more responsible [2]. I tend to avoid that kind of stuff, but staking out a debate position on questions like “how smart could AI get? Will it kill us all?” is the kind of stuff the general public likes to hear.

Israel used phone location data to target and kill Palestinians, with a sub-90% accuracy rate, supposedly. Probably not a big concern right now in America, but it could always turn into one. So I think it'd be good if this wasn't a possibility. Better safe than sorry.

I became politically aware when I was 18 in 1975 and went to college. I quickly concluded that the Israel/Palestian problem was an intractable problem with Palestians used as pawns in a global game I didn't understand and as a non-Jew, non-Muslim I hadn't the inside knowledge to have an educated opinion, much less come up with a solution to what still seems to me like a family fight. Nothing has changed as far as I can tell, so I was right, it's an intractable problem and I am better off putting my brain to use solving problems I can actually do something about. It's annoying that privileged American kids with big salaries are telling me that I lack moral clarity or the will to fight to solve this problem. Good luck is all I can say.
