Even if lots of real-world problems are intractable in the computational complexity theory sense, that doesn't necessarily mean an upper limit to intelligence or to being able to solve those problems in a practical sense. The complexities are worst-case ones, and in case of optimization problems, they're for finding the absolutely and provably optimal solution.

In lots of real-world problems you don't necessarily run into worst cases, and it often doesn't matter if the solution is the absolute optimal one.

That's not to discredit computational complexity theory at all. It's interesting and I think proofs about the limits of information processing required for solving computational problems do have philosophical value, and the theory might be relevant to the limits of intelligence. But just because some problems are intractable in terms of provably always finding correct or optimal answers doesn't mean we're near the limits of intelligence or problem-solving ability in that fuzzy area of finding practically useful solutions to lots of real-world cases.

One thing that jumped out at me:

> countless surprise instances of legitimate emails going to Junk

I think the definition of "legitimate" is in the eye of the beholder.

Some folks believe that their "p3n15 extension" email is legit.

Hard-core spam has wrecked the internet. There's a lot of money in it, so these moneyed people will find a way to bypass anything, because services will spring up, that will sell that.

I have an email address that receives mail on 3 domains. Only one of them is "legit," so any email that comes in on the other two, is automatically spam-canned. Apple won't let me turn off the other two domains (me.com and icloud.com), so I have to set a rule in my client to can them.

They get hundreds of spams (many are scams), each day. These are just the ones that passed the "low-hanging fruit" filters the email server does, so I assume that I actually get thousands each day.

I was just talking to someone today, who got his PayPal account pwn3d; probably by following the directions in a well-crafted phishing email. These things work, so no one will stop doing it; especially since the cost is so low, and the ROI is pretty good.

The only thing that is likely to stop the spam tsunami, is a cost to send. No one wants to do that.
There is a misconception that the US is just buying Chinese goods with dollars and not selling them anything, but this isn't true. The US exports hundreds of billions of dollars of goods to China every year, from agricultural products, to petroleum, to civilian aircraft, to cars and trucks, to even specialized electronics.

Sure, LLMs are very different from chess algorithms. The endgame in chess is similar to deterministic algorithms in programming, while LLMs use probabilistic models. This is why the next AI improvement might come from combining deterministic and probabilistic models, similar to how chess requires different strategies for the endgame and the middle game.
I did read an interesting thing recently (can't remember where unfortunately) about ongoing strides in the transport and preservation of donor organs. If we crack the code to putting a kidney in ice, you can get it across the country to its new owner instead of crossing your fingers that someone local needs one and is a recipient match.

Large cities usually have helicopters in the sky 24/7. It’s better (meaning get overhead faster) than trying to scramble when actually needed.

The helicopter will go and respond to random calls if it’s not needed for anything in particular.

Not defending the practice, just explaining why a helicopter might respond to something that’s overkill
Nice, that's a table top ball mill! Now instead of peanut butter, put a chemical oxidizer, some metal salts and a fuel in there and you are in the business of preparing DIY pyrotechnics!
The example he uses seems very apples and oranges to me. I remember a scene from Age of Ultron where 30 seconds after Ultron becomes aware he reasons that humanity must be destroyed. It's just a movie but that is more closely aligned to the reality people are worried about.

Nginx is written in C. It's not the worst offender of the species, but there's been enough RCE-level CVEs over the years that I would assume some remain in its current version.

I think that someone or something to be actually super intelligent like humans it needs to be conscious first, and the whole underlying foundation of software AI is wrong or not suitable to scale to the point of super intelligence. You wont see AI evolution like we saw life evolution here on Earth.

Humans are bad at multitasking but computers excel at it, that's why machine/deep learning is so impressive. Computers thrive on parallel computing while humans like I said suck at it and therefore Yann is right; LLMs are information retrieval super beasts who are programmed to predict and not to make independent decisions and tinker about anything in particular.

In my scouts group we used to organize a father and son police, robber and fence game in the woods at night. Robbers had to transport logs to the fence to gain points. Every player had a string round their arm and you could wrestle the players from the other teams to get it. It was very cool to see the boys battle each other and see dads wrestling other dads, older brothers and scout leaders. Or sneaking in the dark with their dad carrying the logs. It was a real father and son bonding experience. Great memories.

Really? That hasn't been my experience at all. What engine version are you on?

We target windows, linux, xsx and ps5 and have probably 15-20 programmers making contributions daily and probably only hit maybe one or two of these issues per week, and they rarely get checked in as we get them during our mandatory preflight build during code review, similar to what you describe. We run all the preflight on on-prem machines now so the cost is minimized compared to our former cloud solution.

We did a lot of work to modularize our codebase so maybe that is helping?

Indeed. What an arrogant statement. A true investment shares in the risk. That's what the whole "skin in the game" talk was about soon after the subprime mortgage crisis. And besides, housing (or debt!) is not per se an investment for the banks, but a place for people to live that they can own.

Usury (which effectively includes all compound interest) is banned in Islamic banking, and condemned by the Catholic Church (still is and always will be, contrary to misconception), for a reason. And it will impoverish your society and drive it into debt slavery, and put it at the mercy of the lenders. We need banking, we need finance, but these are only legitimate when they make money from licit investments in productive enterprise, and from legitimate service fees, not compound interest.

When I hear arguments like "well, the banker has to charge interest, because why else would he loan money?" or "he has to charge interest because he might not get his money back, and because of opportunity cost", I am floored. This is shameless narcissism. No one forced the banker to loan money. Lending is not supposed to be about making money. If you are making lots of money off lending, then you are by definition stealing it, because housing is not a productive asset where the loan is concerned. You aren't funding a startup that you have good reason to believe will make a profit from its labor and resulting value.

It seems fine to me. When there is evidence for a certain type of current or future harm they present it, and when there is not they express uncertainty.

Can AI enable phishing? "Research has found that between January to February 2023, there was a 135% increase in ‘novel social engineering attacks’ in a sample of email accounts (343*), which is thought to correspond to the widespread adoption of ChatGPT."

Can AIs make bioweapons? "General-purpose AI systems for biological uses do not present a clear current threat, and future threats are hard to assess and rule out."
Right, that's the whole problem with this case -- that really both options are possible. It was up to the jury to decide on the evidence presented to them and they decided to find guilt in the Defendant.

Obviously, in any case, if the evidence presented (especially in a closely-balanced case like this) isn't the whole picture (or a biased picture), then the jury will always be working at a disadvantage. It's defense counsel's job to make sure any exculpatory evidence is presented.
A human brain also trains on copyrighted work.

A human can also reproduce very realistic copies of things and can even pass things off as the "genuine" thing.

We already have copyright law and counterfeit law for this.

Even if AI doesn't work the same way as parts of the human brain, I don't understand what difference it makes, whether AI was involved in the production of work legally, morally, or philosophically.
Came here to say the same thing. No reason to put it in the fridge though.
Reminds me about an article on ECMO machines I read where they are researching hooking them up to single organs and not just people. If you can keep the organ alive for some time it opens the possibility of making transplants easier, or even removing someone's diseased liver, say and treating it outside the body then putting it back a few weeks later.

Imagine today there is not all these different European governments, but just the Catholic church controlling all of the different governments, which are all really branches of the Catholic Church. Their kings are determined by the Catholic church. All of them are under the Pope. Their laws have to be approved by the Catholic Church. Everyone is Catholic. Catholic bishops are more powerful than any king. Etc. And that is the way it is and continues for 3,000 years.
I always fantasized about putting my peanut butter jar in one of those vibrational paint shaker devices you see at Lowes or Home Depot when you select a paint color.

Thing is, principles differ from wisdom. The latter implies that changing your mind while growing is possible.
Up to the point of AGI, most productivity increases have resulted in less physical / menial labor, and more white collar work. If AGI is smarter than most humans, the pendulum will swing the other way, and more humans will have to work physical / menial jobs.

While I love the idea of self-hosting HW and SW, I can't even imagine the pain of building stuff like GCC on 60Mhz CPU. Not to mention the Rocket CPU is written in Scala. I recently stopped using Gentoo on RockPro64, because the compile times were unbearable, and that's a system orders of magnitude faster than what they want to use.
This is a very disingenuous argument.

These same people are the ones who formulated a chemical that works, proved that it works, proved that it is safe. That same chemical improves the health of the population saving billions in costs and quality adjusted life years. So just describing it as just a manufacturing cost is disingenuous.

And you know this, but you think you're being clever. It's not clever.
This is very, very cool. I've been thinking for a while that a fully self-hosted RISC-V machine is sorely needed. The biggest limiting factor at the moment actually seems to be finding an FPGA board which has enough RAM on board. The target board here has 512 megabytes, I think - but FPGA toolchains are much happier with several gigabytes to play with.
> The chip foundry wouldn't know what the FPGA will be used for, and where the proverbial "privilege bit" will end up being laid out on the chip, which mitigates against Privilege Escalation hardware backdoors. Exposure is limited to DoS attacks being planted into the silicon during FPGA fabrication, which yields a significantly improved level of assurance (i.e., the computer may stop working altogether, but can't betray its owner to an adversary while pretending to operate correctly).

I suppose in theory the FPGA could contain a hidden CPU that has full read/write access to the FPGA program.

Further, if the system becomes popular and more FPGAs need to be produced for the same system or the next generation, then the foundry has additional information and they can make a good guess of where the privilege bit will be. Even simpler, they could program an FPGA with the code and figure it out manually.
I mean, sounds like a skill issue to me
Exponential decay has the special property that it can be calculated from the current state with no additional data needed. With other kinds of interpolation curves, you need to additionally store the time the animation started.
