I doubt most people have 99% accuracy. The threshold of tolerance for error is just much lower for any self-driving system (and with good reason, because we're not familiar with them yet).
Theoretical research in itself is one of the actual values. Any real-world application from CERN are purely incidental (albeit welcome).
The other values include redistribution of wealth, support for businesses, job creation, sustaining internal intellectual capabilities without depending on the whims of fickle corporations, and probably many others that I can't think of for now.
Yes but why? This is what I really don't understand.
Say AGI is achieved within a reasonable timeframe. Odds are that no single company will achieve that, there will be no monopoly. If that's the case, where is the trillion dollars value for investors? From every claim we hear about it, AGI will lead to hundreds of millions of jobs disappearing (all white-collar jobs), and tens of millions of companies disappearing (all the companies that provide human-produced services). Who is going to buy your AGI-made products or services when nobody is paid anymore, when other companies, big and small, has ceased to exist? Sure, you can make extraordinary accomplishments and advance humanity far, far ahead, but who is going to pay for that? Even states won't be able to pay if their taxable population (individuals and corporations) disappear.
So where will the money come from? How does it work?
Reindustrialization isn't possible because you cannot reduce your costs to China levels, particularly if you clamp down on immigration as well. The best you can hope for is to diversify the supply by industrializing other, geographically and/or ideologically closer countries that can produce at reduced costs and are also more dependent on your economy or your military might. A suite of vassal countries, if you will.
The various incentives, tax rebates and ZEV credits that Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) benefited and still benefit from are also government funding, so the US already do the same.
If you're thinking about JetBrains' remote development, it's actually the IDE (a headless version) that's installed on the remote dev machine. Since you first need to install the IDE on the dev server first, you are never under any illusion that it's a simple SSH-based remote editing à la vim (even though it also relies on SSH).
I completely agree (and the answer is none of the above). Instead of hundreds of people, a dozen will be enough for the entire pre-production, production and post-production cycle of a high-quality movie. A blockbuster production with the cost of an indie film. Or at least the human resource cost, because there's no guarantee the actual cost of AI will be that cheap.
I asked Gemini 2.0 Flash (as well as its thinking counterpart) who is the president of the United States, and it returned a red danger icon. It makes perfectly sense that an llm is aligned with the values of the people who built it, so I don't understand why people treat it as a big deal. It's not as if they'd find the truth about Tien An Men in Chinese history textbooks either.
Some people feel good when someone else appears stupider. They'd like to think that they would be smarter in the same situation, and mocking the weak is deeply ingrained in our collective psyche. Considering all the stories of hackers caught for poor opsec hygiene, as well as the perpetrator of this case who was tricked into clicking a malware link himself, and the fact that this is a very long and extremely targeted ops, I'm not so sure such confidence is warranted.
And she's a woman who got a fortune from a divorce. That probably triggered some as well.
Get the support of Cpanel for the fork and it will replace Wordpress. Cpanel powers a significant amount of Wordpress sites, possibly even the majority of them.
I just signed up for Claude yesterday and I didn't even realize that I didn't enter a password. It was when I wanted to use it on my phone (with Firefox, not the app) that I realized that there was no Claude entry in my password manager. It made me irrationally angry for about 5 minutes, and had I known it in advance, I would probably not have bothered.
You don't even need to be in your 70s or not tech-savvy. Password-sharing happens frequently between spouses, children/parents, friends and probably a lot of other cases.
Neither are humans, that's why we have proofreaders and editors. That doesn't make them any less useful. And a translator will not write the same exact translation for a text longer than a couple of sentences, that does not mean translation is a dead end. Ironically, it's LLMs that made translation a dead end.
Unless the quality of the human data are extraordinary, it seems according to the TFA that it's not that easy:
> The process is painfully slow. GPT-4 was trained on an estimated 13 trillion tokens. A thousand people writing 5,000 words a day would take months to produce a billion tokens.
And if the human-generated data was so qualitatively good that it is smaller by three order of magnitudes, than I can assume it would be at least as expensive as o3.
I tell everyone who would listen to me (i.e. not many) that white collar jobs like mine are dead and skilled manual work is the way of the near future, that is until the rise of the robots.
My plant would have been dead. As for the rest, sure, I would have resolved them eventually, after many frustrated hours of googling and trial and error.
Time is my most precious thing, I already don't have enough time to do all the things that I want to do, I don't want to waste that trying to find and test solutions when ChatGPT gives me instant answers. I'd rather spend time playing with my cats or riding a bike instead. It's not a matter of UI, it's a matter of preventing waste of time, energy and money, and less frustration. For that alone, €20/month is a very good value. And that's just for my personal life.
Off the top of my head, and just for the last couple of months, and only outside of work (where its value is even more immense), it has saved one of my indoor plants, told me how to handle a major boiler problem that would have left us without a working boiler during a weekend in the winder, with the next "emergency" repairman only available on Monday, advised me to use Kopia as backup solution for my personal files instead of Syncthing, helped me choose the right type of glass for a painting frame, answered a couple of questions about bikes and helped me when I was stuck in an harmonic analysis of a piece of music. All of that are extremely valuable to me (if only for the time not wasted googling answers), and in none of them its potential hallucinating would have been an issue. And I can't count the number of times where "specialists" in bike repairs or plumbing told me something incorrect or outright false, so I've learned to deal with hallucinations already!
I think it's related to our respective view of the State. As a French, I expect the State to do things for me and despite the State's too many failings, I have far more trust in the State than in corporations, so a States-led project in a strategic domain is a good thing. I don't wish the government (in its American meaning) to do less, I wish it to do better. It seems most people in the US view the State as a necessary evil and the worst entity to entrust their taxes with. Of course, things are more complicated and nuanced, but that's my bird's eye view.
That won't help. Their TOS and policies are vague enough that they can terminate all accounts you own (under "Use of multiple accounts for abuse" for instance).
I know nothing about weather, but aren't changes happening gradually instead of overnight? There's no major anomaly that appears all of a sudden. In which case we can assume the every new change will be incorporated in the AI model's training.
