It's illegal most places to do business with criminal organizations. If not, its easy enough to make it so.

I think Woz didn't make any advances at a fundamental level.

Sorry, everyone. My mistake. An ISP which tolerates its users using ssh or https would be liable for $250,000 per day, not $125,000 per day. I realize that in the time since I posted, many of you made the determination "oh, it's not so bad" and bought houses in Michigan, now to be blindsided by that fact that I negligently underestimated the cost by a factor of two. I apologize for the error.

Michigan has a bill to ban VPNs where SSH is just another "circumvention tool" that must be blocked too. If SSH works, then your ISP is liable for $125,000 per day until they break it.

No more ports 22 or 443 in Michigan if this passes. No more e-commerce. No more banking. No more encrypted internet for anyone, of any age. Telnet and http-no-s are coming back! (Until someone tunnels through them; then ISPs will have to block those too.)

The quote you provided didn't say LLM, it said neural network. Neural networks, like any model, can interpolate or extrapolate, depending on whether the inference is between training samples or not.

LLMs are neural networks. You seem to be referring to a particular method of producing output where they predict the next token based on their conditioning and their previously generated text. It's true in the simplest sense that they're extrapolating, and reasonable for pure LLMs, but probably not really true for the larger models that use LLMs as their inputs and outputs. The models have complex states that have been shown to represent concepts larger than just the next token.

WTF is a proper pronoun?

Are you referring to the "altruistic" in the summary? It's used correctly, as an adjective. They could have said "behave altruistically" but they did not.

Google's idea at the time was to use their pull to improve content on the internet, and they started issuing SEO guidelines. They regularly update the guidelines to match whatever they think will be better for the internet, and the SEO consultants follow it like a flock.

It's not entirely wrong, if you have two articles, the longer one is more likely to have more information. As a metric it's easily gamed, and they need to stay on top of that somehow but didn't.

He's probably like one of those people who knows that Africa has been fucked over by other nations as long as there have been other nations to fuck them over. Everyone's had a turn abusing Africa.

Your first full paragraph is 100% opinion. Run along now.

None of those people made advancements at the fundamental level. They all paid someone (or stole from someone) who had a college degree to do the advancements.

Websites were already getting ridiculously verbose (like recipe websites having a long story before the actual recipe) because Google favored pages like that. If you wanted your page to show up in the search results, it had to be nonsensically verbose.

Interesting, how was the corruption of the '12 Olympics involved in the Crimea invasion?

That's an optimistic prediction about the capabilities of AI.
