With a few prominent exceptions, the Wikipedia Foundation has been wise enough to enjoy the perks parasitism and not get in the way. However, their stated fundraising goal is amassing a large enough endowment that they can exist perpetually

It’s extraordinary! Perhaps how quickly we become jaded should be taken as evidence of how quickly the world is changing right now. When I looked at the examples they seemed like the kind of one off scripts, of limited complexity, that we’v

That’s a rather idiosyncratic interpretation that doesn’t align with current views or legal structures in the Western world (look up ‘publicity rights’) ‘Ownership’ isn’t a property of the universe. It’s a value imposed by human society and

I think software engineering is just as complex as medicine, both endeavors try to utilize human cognitive ability to the maximum extent possible. I do entirely agree about software engineering being a lot less stressful though.

It will be interesting if a lot of research gets published in Chinese journals and not the West. If this happens I wonder if Western researchers will get their information from Chinese journals or lag a bit behind Chinese researchers on the

I was in Germany a couple months ago. My experiences are entirely anecdotal but I’ve never seen so much anger before. I kept seeing fights and hearing angry yelling everywhere I went in Berlin.

It’s a very fast moving space and if OpenAI doesn’t keep sailing forward they’ll be dead in the water but I don’t think GPT-4 or GPT-5 is the end of the story. The deployment of the vision API and other iterative improvements are somewhat s

Probably after a couple more years. ARPANET accelerated progress but the idea of large interconnected networks is an obviously useful one and the technology to build was coming to maturity at that point in time. In an ideal world I agree wi

And given the present turmoil they aren’t likely to remain in the position very long. Unless there are significant financial inducements, that vest without any tenure requirements, it’s hard to see an upside.

Even if he isn’t critical to OpenAI’s future there is the issue of how the board handled this. They surprised everyone from their most significant investors to their employees, which would be justified if they have a very good reason. Witho

The linked article shows they’re not wholly immune. Some publicly available technologies can be quite powerful as Bellingcat demonstrates. It’s certainly an asymmetrical field but, especially moving forward, I doubt it will be an entirely o

I feel like there is an easy solution here. Don’t even try. The LLM should only be trained on and have access to data and actions which the user is already approved to have. Guaranteeing LLMs won’t ever be able to be prompted to do any cert
