Comment Re: Humans always beat computers.. until we don't (Score 1) 46

I just took the time to read most his 2022 post and it didnt hold up very well. He illustrates why gpt 3 is a dead end but I just tried the exact example on gpt 4o and it passed with flying colors.

The premise is that scaling wonâ(TM)t work and that the world is overly focused on the LLM approach.

He claims tagging images wont work well enough for radiology. Fine but companies like Surona medical seem to be still around years later.

He claims that image tagging wont work but an iPhone does an amazing job of identifying species of things in nature⦠absolutely amazing. And you can now generate captions for image locally on an old MacBook using hugging face models. Itâ(TM)s not perfect but I can be sure that itâ(TM)s made a ton of progress since 2022. So the world isnt just focused on llms these are computer vision models.

Suno is generating mediocre music, far better than it did last year when it was abysmal and some music AI didnt even have language two years ago. Now you can generate country music about retiring your toothbrush that sounds legit.

Finally computer coding is obviously working quite well.

He makes the old tripe of the probabilistic stochastic parrot not having comprehension. Sorry but I believe thats how the human brain works as well.

MoonPlayer justifies the entire price of the Apple Vision Pro. There you go, a single app makes the whole thing worthwhile. Another one would be the YouTube safari extension enabling you to watch YouTube on a 20 foot screen. Itâ(TM)s knock your socks off amazing. Spatial photos in the Apple Photos app are incredible. The environments are pretty phenomenal too.

Ridiculous argument. Absolutely nobody uses HoloLens. And the fov of HoloLens was useless.Vision Pro has a wide fov by comparison and FoV is certainly not a weak spot. Vision Pro has an active user base and itâ(TM)s selling fast enough to be profitable this year⦠paying for 8 years of development in just a year or two.

So much armchair quarterback here. You are making the old âoethe world only needs 100 computersâ argument. Vision Pro absolutely needs more horsepower for features and capabilities that havenâ(TM)t been revealed. For one, real time interpretation of hands and real time masking are very computationally intensive. Situational awareness and AI. Denoising video pass through. 16k immersive video playback. Real time ray tracing. Apple Vision Pro is absolutely awesome. What they need to do is lighten it up by going to titanium and offloading electronics to the battery pack. Get rid of the useless front facing screen obviously. Change the battery chemistry to solid state at some point when commercially viable. These are early days. Users love it so future iterations are going to be wildly profitable.
