The internet is not the web, as you should know if you are still here in 2025. Videos with and without audio as well as music are all on the net. AI, including LLMs with the right interfaces, can watch humans, listen to humans, and perceive music just as well as we can. Stop and think before you post next time.

Bullshit. Einstein didn't observe that nothing can move faster than light; he concluded this based on his thought experiment and then formulated his theory.

You mean it spouts a bunch of words it strings together, never saying anything intelligent, and having no idea what an intelligent person will make of it? It seems AI is more like you than you realize.

It's pretty evident that you have never had a discussion with Carl.

Your argument then is that people cannot think, since people are biological machines. Of course, you can argue that that statement is true or not depending on your definition of machine, but of course this is the same problem as trying to say something can or cannot think without having a scientifically testable definition of that word. In short, you either get that I don't need to prove you think and you can't prove any significantly complex neural network based system doesn't, or you aren't any better at thinking than an LLM that is at least as useful as you might be in any given scenario.

I see what you did there. We know that we say people can think, but most would see that you clearly don't. That was clever.

Where, prey tell, do you think humans get the vast majority of their "knowledge" in 2025? The question of if the internet is the right place to find information is completely separate from the question of if an LLM or any random human is capable of independent thought and critical analysis. News flash: neither the LLM nor the typical human under 30 years of age is capable of thinking, and experience shows that at least the LLM I have used is far better at holding an intelligent conversation than the typical "modern" human.

Show me how your insights have enabled you to create more advanced functionality, and then I'll be interested.

Much of the critique seems irrelevant to AI other than LLMs, such as self-driving cars which map visual input to actions.

My wife and I bought a used 2024 Mini Cooper EV just last weekend, for roughly that amount. It seems well-built and is very fun to drive. However it is only useful for driving around town because its range is only 120 miles. Technologically this is clearly out of date. I couldn't help but think that if not for trade restrictions we could be paying the same for a new car with more advanced batteries and motors. In fact the Mini Cooper EV, the 2025 model with almost double the range, is not available in the US because of trade restrictions.

I never liked the framing of 'their brain hasn't finished maturing.' You could as well say that after 26 the brain begins its decline into risk aversion and senescence. Somebody has to go out and slay the beasts and fight the enemies and make the babies and young people in their physical prime did most of it.

The last thing NVidia wants to do is advance TPUs as a viable and more affordable alternative to the GPUs that are a gusher of profit for NVidia. Even if it's inevitable, delaying the erosion of the GPU market is worth billions per month to them.

The problem is that the OLPC wasnt a good computer! I own one, I know. Kids should be given Macintoshes. Nicholas Negroponte made a huge mistake by not accepting Steve Jobs offer to put OS X on the OLPC.

This is some big-league gambling! $200B in a morning! That's the entire market cap of Apple in spring of 2010. (For reference that's when the iPhone 4 came out - they were at the top of their game.)

I had forgot about Altman getting fired by the board for not 'being candid' (presumably tantamount to lying). Admittedly if there is a business equivalent to being expelled for academic fraud, that might be it.

This might be the best evidence yet of a bubble.
