If he was prominent in crypto research theres a good chance he was or had previously worked for them as well. This sounds like espionage to me. I know everyone is scared its Trump related, but this isnt how him or his lackeys operate at all.

I know, its really a shame about all those low paying STEM jobs. I remember back when I was a kid I used to tell everyone I wanted to be an engineer when I grew up, but all the moneys in literature and poetry so thats what I had to do. Damn you, capitalism!

That would be great, but I just don’t see it happening. The way things are going well be lucky to have a Department of Education in a few years, and public schools might be following right behind. Even if everything turns around tomorrow, all the resources in the world wont get everyone to the level you are aiming at. There are people out there who do not see any value in literacy and there are people who don’t have the brain power. You could assign full time private tutors to follow them around and try to teach them things for their whole lives and you’d barely get anywhere. That’s just something well have to live with. There’s never been a society where everyone was intellectually active, its always been a more or less influential minority. If you want to improve society the best approach making the intellectual voice more influential, not trying to educate the gleefully ignorant.

Is that any worse than people getting their world view from a talking head on 24 news, five second video clips on their phone, or a self curated selection of rage bait propaganda online? The mental decline of humanity is perpetual and overstated.

It sounds like you are talking about use in education then, which is a different issue altogether.

You can and should set your AI to push back against poor reasoning and unsupported claims. They arnt very smart, but they will try.

An AI can produce content that is higher quality than the prompts they are given, particularly for formulaic tasks. I do agree that it would be nice if everyone were more educated, but a large portion of the population will never get there. If simply denying them AI was going to result in a blossoming of self education it would have already happened by now.

I dont really think its fair to expect the barely literate to have writing endeavours. They are just trying to communicate without embarrassing themselves.

I’m not really sure what you mean. They are not perfect, and in fact it will usually reduce the quality of output for a skilled writer, but half of the adults in the US cant read and write at a sixth grade level, and LLMs are greatly improving their ability to solidify and convey their thoughts in a more understandable way.

People bad at math use calculators. People with bad handwriting prefer to type. Weak people use levers. Slow people rely more on wheels. Its like were a bunch of tool using primates or something.

Im pretty sure most of us already have to work our whole lives or starve.

It will. So has just about every other major technical development ever. Eventually those lost jobs should be replaced by even more jobs made possible by the new technology, but in the meantime it will suck.

Thats how you know its not just a gimmick. How many jobs did blockchain replace? Just about zero. How many jobs did computers or the Internet or the mechanical loom or the freaking steam engine replace? Tons.

Wait a second…which department breaks into your house?

Now thats what I call effective advertising!

They were actually really vague about the details. The paper itself says they used GPT-4o for ChatGPT, but apparently they didnt even note what versions of the other models were used.

Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla’s his way through one project at a time, while interns clean up behind him.

The number one hundred million sixty six thousand five hundred seventy three has exactly 100,066,537 letters.

They wernt going to be operating in China anyway.

That works for a phone or a laptop when the manufacturer expects you to upgrade every few years. An average house might have dozens of different items, each with its own battery with different size, capacity and discharge needs. Its already hard to track down replacement batteries for older model phones and laptops, and its going to be ten times worse trying to find just the right battery for your specific model of printer or coffee machine years after its left production. Are appliances just supposed to be disposable now, or is it just a gimmick for the first couple of years you own something? In either case, it doesnt seem like the savings to the power grid could possibly justify the expense or the waste.

And the batteries wont last nearly as long as the fridge should. Do you just toss the whole thing when it starts defrosting every morning at 2am?
