If you want a webcam in your MacBook Pro, probably yes. Today's MBPs have a notch at the top of the screen for it. Dynamic Island is just a fancy name for making that notch....less annoying? I guess that's subjective. But DI works okay.

I never said it's perfect. I only said its good enough that it should not be ignored.

In order to observe something, the same photons must have interacted with both the thing and with you eyes. Those photons are entangled with both, and there's some transitivity.

I saw an interesting view on this recently which basically said, you know how the world around you don't seem all quantum and weird? Entanglement is why. Observation of the world by you and everyone else "locks" it into a classical, non-quantum state via entanglement. By observing the world you entangle with it.

I have the advantage (dubious though it feels sometimes) of having teams continually updating the latest stuff in the tooling I use. If you are limited to public versions and self-configured models, you may not yet have experienced the cutting edge.

The question is when they have looked. A lot of the "oh this is nothing" crowd are describing experiences from a year or more ago. The technology has improved a lot since then.

There is some overselling. There is also a lot of excess skepticism. We are seeing a new capability we did not have before, and those who pretend it is irrelevant do so at their professional peril. All we know for sure is that the technology is advancing very fast. It's hard to predict where it will be in six months.

Yes, attention is a neural net pattern trained by back propagation. The big breakthrough was figuring out how to replace RNNs with attention on both ends of the net.

Security as in credentials isn't the goal here. It's security as in memory safety and input validation.

Didn't one of the last few Presidents open up everything already? I recall something like that.

Oh, that's less true than you might think. People hurt themselves with their intentional choices all the time.

Best description I've seen is "Lord of the Rings meets 1984."

Were you there?
