Again, I was not talking about current LLMs. The statement was made without any limit regarding time. Who knows how far LLMs can get, in the end?

Again, my issue with the statement is not about current LLMs. Who knows if LLMs cannot be a major component of AGI, or even ASI systems. Then the capability to do whatever humans can do is part of the definition.

I can still use chatgpt without an account. Maybe it will be a limited model, but for discussing/analyzing some topics it still does fine, most of the time. You just cannot code with it.

While I mostly agree, was that really different with googling certain topics, before modern AI?

You know, they could also be used to keep invaders out of Ukraine. But for sure, that is not what billionaires have in mind for them.

Good for the employees, they are organized in a union. This is not so typical for IT workers, at least. Meaning, in most other settings the clown show can continue for quite a while.

Why worry if you can have an army of AI controlled combat robo dogs and drones? /s Now, times are becoming "interesting" again, unfortunately.

Still, I guess if you would care you could let the LLM perform loops with pangram tests, changing the text till it scores well enough.

"As long as" does a lot of work here, considering language barriers and (in my experience) generally less knowledge in off-shored centers.

Arguably Sudan is a different caravan. And the totally destitute in most industrialized countries are a small minority. So, currently people can keep the mindset that they still have a chance. Once that illusion shatters, expect violence (w

But does human nature allow one member of the caravan having (a lot of) water, while everyone else goes thirsty?

And if you believe in the fair distribution of the benefits of automation and AI in the population. IMHO, this belief is the more unrealistic one, at least in the short term.

Claims from maintenance contracts in B2B depend on classifications like this. So, it is absolutely worth categorizing, for certain businesses.

On the other hand they would never be able again to leave their bunkers, given that it is not hard to assemble a DIY drone and equip it with some explosives.

I am not sure anything is scaring anyone into urgency as long as breaches are no great issue for the company (in contrast to their customers and/or affected third parties). Also, more secure code might be performing better, it might al

If you are that pedantic you could also ask if he is living without a mobile phone, without a car and without any modern electrical appliance phoning home. So, probably him being offline is not to be taken quite so seriously.

As long as the costs (monetary and otherwise) of breaches are not (by and large) hitting shareholders and the C level, why would they pay for better security? And why would politicians depending on campaign contributions of tech companies f

Wait till there are organ harvesting bots. Only half joking, I am afraid.

There is a difference between hard and soft DRM. Soft DRM can be only some watermark, not keeping you from creating copies for your own devices. Hard DRM aims to prevent any copying. In my experience soft DRM is very common, hard DRM not so

Well, if we are talking the worldwide software development industry, FAANG-like salaries are a tiny exception. There are so many places without strong worker rights and without a high premium for workers. The expectation of higher productiv

Be careful what you are wishing for. All the leisure time you would want while having no job or money could be the future we are heading for.
