Comment It doesn't really address the problem (Score 1) 29

But if you submit AI-generated output that is broken but doesn't have obvious tells, it may sail through. Meanwhile a paper that does have a smoothing line from an LLM left in by accident despite checking and re-checking, but is actually excellent overall, may get sanctioned. This doesn't seem to solve the issue, just remove some of the most obvious symptoms.

Comment Re:Movies cost $3 in Egypt (Score 2) 162

In the UK I have a Cineworld Unlimited card so I don't pay per movie - just a flat rate of 12.99 GBP ($17.72). In practice it probably works out around the same as the tickets in Egypt given I go > 5 times a month. It's very cheap leisure compared to most things *if* you have the card.

This happened at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2013. We had a screening of 'Cloud Atlas' (which iirc was a very recent movie then) and the hard drive had been delivered and plugged in, but the distributor had given the unlock key for the wrong time. It took about an hour to track down the person in Los Angeles (mid-afternoon in Scotland, early morning there) who could issue a new key.

They should just measure global performance metrics and if that clearly stratifies based on AI use they'll have some picture. But a major problem I foresee is regardless of what you think of AI, not all coders operate the same way. Some may benefit from extensive usage, others will be hobbled, even on the same tasks. There is unlikely to be a single way to use it that simply translates to more/less is better.

Even if it were to turn out to be true that white collar work *could* be largely done by AI in that time, there's still the barrier of actual adoption. Does he really think that it's going to be rolled out at that pace? When simply getting Microsoft's user base from Windows 10 to 11 is a massive ordeal?

I suspect a lot wouldn't know precisely but a larger proportion than that could reason it being mid to late 20th century when prompted as to what it was. I know off-hand it was during the Kennedy presidency which narrows it to '61-'63 with my guess being '62 since it feels for some reason like there was more than a year between the crisis and the Kennedy assassination.

This is why I always export my data every couple of weeks. It's actually allowed me to do some interesting things trying to see how much of the functionality I can replicate locally, putting my conversations into a vector DB and seeing if a local LLM will do anything like 'Memories' for example. But then the platform does nothing to encourage this behaviour when it really should. I'm also not aware of a way to import the zip file they give you *back* into ChatGPT.
