in australia workers seem to have more rights. they have industry awards that specify minimum wage and safety conditions etc, they have the legal right to strike and the legal right for union/collective bargaining if they choose it, aka freedom of association. when i look at employment conditions in the US, it boggles my mind how workers there basically have zero safety net. its an extreme example of giving all the power to the employer.
im pretty impressed with the reasoning abilities of even the cheapest free models so im inclined to believe in 10 years we're going to have something pretty phenomenal BUT it wont be AGI in the sense that it has a personality and thoughts like a human. It just wont be. Its always going to be contrived and fitted by humans to perform a set of tasks. Maybe when physics and computing can create a complex enough environment we might stand a chance of having something whose sum is somehow greater than its parts but i dont see it yet. Our ideas are ahead of our technology, like its always been throughout history.
its like a retail store where they force you to walk through the chips and chocolates to get to the fruit and veg... just in case you didnt know how yummy chips and chocolates are...
Has anyone considered they may be doing this intentionally as marketing? "look how uber our models are, they escape all our best efforts to contain them".
because of my privacy settings google search outright blocks me as a bot. the only way to search is through an intermediary like startpage. related because if it does give me the time of day i tend to then get endless captchas.
different cultures are what makes the world an interesting place. if all i saw was one homogeneous slab of culture i think id go mental(er than i already am)
In australia we have housing as an investment that pays off big. The more homes you own the richer youll be. Theres not much else here that pays off that well.
The problem with writing an editor if you intend to use it for coding, is not the text editor itself, that's rather simple. The problem is code completion and syntax highlighting. Then whatever system you try to implement becomes just as bloated as the bloatware you're trying to replace.
ive got my own pwd file using a short shell script in bashrc that uses nano, gpg and /dev/shm to keep things in memory (hopefully). works great, is minimalist and there are no hidden surprises.
Good points, i like them, but i fear you were sucked in by low effort trolling. Your original point was clear, that fiddling with a broken system is a distraction from a better more workable system. If you try to begin to articulate a more workable system you'll then have to contend with a barrage of mindless ad hom and rhetorical rubbish... (ug ug socialism bad) so sometimes critiquing the current system is just easier.
I think op's argument was that the humans are in control already, giving them capricious instructions, and then that is being attributed to them being "capricious genies" as you say.
the way the us govt has behaved internationally i wouldnt be surprised if countries/people actively boycott made in america.. the market for us goods and services would definitely have shrunk.
its just ppl trying to be different from their boring parents. wish i had enough karma to flag them too but i keep getting downvoted into oblivion for making fun of written in rust posts
> LLMs can be good _domain experts_ when you build an LSP, but a) I wouldn't trust them blindly, and b) the quality of code is still very much your responsibility.
That's the feeling I have with these models as well. When I read about companies replacing devs due to AI I really hope its not actual coding/design jobs they're replacing. Unless they want to become evolutionary dead ends.
saw an ad today for some ear pieces that look like audio speakers but theyre actually cameras as well, so it seems manufacturers realise glasses will annoy people but arent giving up.
