What do you think the market is for people who want to read books or articles condensed into lines of text suitable for model training?

I think it's 0. Maybe a handful if pirate libraries of readable ebooks and papers didn't already exist, but even a handful of copyright violators wouldn't be a serious commercial threat to the publishers.

So far, governments have been unable to do anything about pirate libraries. Complaining about AI datasets, poorly formatted for human consumption, seems misplaced.

Criticizing this as "stealing" or "piracy" is a vote for a future where only big tech, or the major publishers themselves, can train models on good datasets. Nobody else will have the money or market power to license that much material.

> I'm talking about the volume of the reactor

Again, the reactor’s physical structure and cost doesn’t scale 1:1 with the internal volume, so it’s a meaningless metric.

As to your assumptions, a smaller device may be cheaper or more expensive depending on what it takes to make it smaller. It’s a complex machine you can’t just price things by weight or something.

Really the argument is like complaining about fission reactors because all that water is heavy what matters is cost not vague proxies for cost.

> With a few more iterations, it becomes very feasible to imagine fusion reactors the size of a rice maker to power homes and vehicles, or even smaller to just have personal, wearable fusion reactors that can provide near infinite power to any gadgets we want to carry with us.

No, because fusion reactors (of any currently realistic design) produce extremely harmful radiation in the form of neutrons. Since neutrons are neutral, they can only be stopped by a large shielding mass when they directly collide with atoms in that mass. The mass itself then turns highly radioactive (with a half-life of a hundred years or so, so much more radioactive than spent fission fuel).

Plus, if the magnets fail while the fusion reaction is happening, then the superheated plasma will violently explode in all directions, killing anyone nearby, and spreading the radioactive remnants of the vessel all around.

Finally, these fusion reactors need some quantity of tritium, which is an extremely rare and extremely radioactive form of hydrogen (half life of only a few years) , that is never going to be easily available to sell on a consumer market.

If you're using the resulting model trained with this for (academic) research (independently or at a university), that's true. If you're earning money with the model (cough chatGPT, Bard, Gemini, et. al cough), that's false.

If you're complaining about the training, you're confusing the entity doing the sharing in this case, with the entities doing the training.

ETA: If you're complaining about use of the model, this becomes a dispute over how close to an original work an output can get before it becomes a copyright violation. That seems unresolvable. Look at court cases where musicians sue over short sequences of notes. Nobody knows where the threshold should be for that, for poetry, for flash fiction, for academic papers, for novels, for paintings, or for voice samples. Courts just go with whatever they think feels right in a particular case. That is an untenable legal situation in a world with AI models like these.

Also, to reiterate, Google has its own fulltext, license-free corpus of books, which it undoubtedly has used to train models. What's your view on that? Should Google be the only entity allowed to train on large books datasets because it happened to get one through a loophole of collaborating with libraries to OCR their collections?

Sounds like an interesting topic for an HN discussion to me...

It's a mostly settled topic for now, you can find many moderation comments about it - don't use generated content in comments. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of LLM generated comments are not checked for accuracy, they're just random summaries of articles or unverified pastes of whatever the model spat out in response to a prompt. Even though you're trying to do this 'right' - checking and/or editing the output, disclosing the LLM use for the relevant part of the comment, etc - it's too difficult for anyone to tell the difference.
This was an awesome read, really amazing job. Most particularly though, I love your style of teaching through storytelling. I was so captivated by the story; it's not just a guide or tutorial, but it adds another layer of mental stickiness. Are you planning to write other guides like this about other programming topics?
That's really not what it says. Godel's incompleteness theorem applied to AI would say something like 'There are statements about the model's behavior we cannot prove without relying on statements that cannot to be proven' (this is because obviously the AI algorithms are based on elementary arithmetic).

> on a future dominated by gigantic core counts of really simple cores that may even be in-order. The extra transistors to speed up the processing are probably better spent on another core that can just handle the next request instead.

I like how you think, but not sure we can get there.

Part of the RISC dream is that you shouldn’t need reordering as the ops should be similar in timing, so you could partially get there on that (although…look at divide, which IIRC the 801 didn’t even have). So they aren’t really uniform in length even before you consider memory issues.

Then there is memory — not all references can be handled before instruction decode because a computed indirect reference requires computation from the ALU and register state to perform. You can’t just send the following instruction to another unit as its computation may depend on the instruction you’re waiting for.

That’s why the instruction decode-and-perform has been smashed into lots of duplicated bits: to do what you say but on the individual steps.

At a different level of granularity, big.LITTLE is an approach that’s along your line of thinking. We tend to have a lot more computation than we need, even at the embedded level, these days and we may end up with some tiny power-sipping coprocessors that dominate most of the runtime of a device while doing almost nothing.
If adequate funding can be secured then everyone can be a billionaire.

I agree with you if email is enough, and I tend to believe it is enough for much more than we use it for. Deltachat shows it is possible to use it for diregt messages and, thanks to webxdc, enough for collaborative pads and games even. xmpp is the step beyond if you want to add retrievable content, thanks to pubsub, but if it's not needed we should focus on making email more usable as a transport protocol.

In the sense that science is ultimately a religious enterprise expressing our belief in a constant, unseen, unchanging reality (which is not a universal belief by any means, and is utterly religious in nature), then yes, this is true. On the other hand, if we take an irreligious look at things and try to keep focus on just what we observe, one is forced to make the opposite conclusion, as the very basic building blocks of reality are not uncoverable, non-replicable, and seemingly not governed by anything but randomness.

Where I live taxis are generally cheaper than Uber and other ride sharing services. So I tend to avoid ride sharing. The fact that there is an app used by many taxi companies also helps.

Even if the price is the same I rather get a cab because taxi industry is heavily regulated and they have to respect a lot of rules as opposed to ride sharing. And I rather have most of the money stay in the local economy.

I think what is missing from this analysis is the offensive capability of American cyber.

> SCSI (isn't that what SATA basically is anyway?),
Ehh, ever since ATAPI, both old 'IDE' style as well as SATA hosts could use SCSI commands. The speed you get with a SATA cable, wire for wire, is a win over any SCSI cable I've ever seen, let alone the LVD vs HVD and everything else you had to worry about.

>Firewire

arguably had the right ideas at the wrong time; the extra power delivery is something we are finally now seeing in USB. However firewire was still relatively expensive.

> PCIx

PCI-X was still parallel with lots of data lines/etc which can cause it's own problems. Aside from having multiple cards potentially hamming each other up (PCI-Express this is less possible since it's point to point rather than shared lines) there is the challenge of the large number of traces and the difficulty in running them on a board as the signalling frequency scales up.

AGP is little more than a second PCI bus running at higher clock speeds.

I am far from an expert on cognitive science, however I have given a considerable amount of thought around the topic of consciousness and AGI, and particularly about what the nature of consciousness even is. I would consider myself erudite and well-read on the topic, despite having no professional or academic credentials on the matter.

The best conclusion I have been able to come to thus far is that consciousness is not a manifestation of the physical structures of our mind, but rather a reflection or view into the nature of our soul. The physical structures of the mind are a prerequisite, but not sufficient, to manifest consciousness. To wit, there are several other mammals in the world which have similarly complex brain structures, and in many cases larger amounts of brain mass, but do not exhibit any sort of human-like consciousness.

I saw all this, while being generally agnostic/areligious. I've studied this question philosophically from the perspective of the theologians and from various religious works, of course, but given as I don't myself have a strong religious belief system, this is not the primary influence for why I take the above position. Simply put, I think a purely materialistic view of consciousness is clearly incorrect, however I don't have a better alternative that's provable.

Given my conclusions, I do not think it is possible for AGI to ever be truly conscious, but it may be possible for it to convincingly mimic consciousness.
