It can, and is. Interaction with the real world is harder and takes longer because we don't have giant piles of training data sitting around ready to go like we do for images and text. There are also safety concerns and cost barriers that aren't there with things like text.

No post processing needed. LLMs sound like they do because that style was prominent in their training data and was scored highly by their trainers. If you ask most of the language models not to use excessive punctuation, lists, headings, polish your knob, and write at a grade six level, they generally sound reasonably human.

There's an everything memory shortage. The reason, allegedly, is that OpenAI and then some of the other AI companies, bought up all the fab capacity to make mostly HBM. The memory fabs are fairly multipurpose: they can switch to make different things. The new ones probably can also but even if not, they will take pressure off the existing ones.

Anyway, you can type "new memory fabs under construction" into Google yourself and select whatever articles you think are relevant to your specific pecadillo.

1. You're being a silly pedant. They mean changing how advanced math is done. Mathematicians using AI to generate and check proofs, for example.

2. You might be surprised at how your pedantic interpretation might turn out to be true as well. It happened around the beginning of the 20th century when mathematicians engaged in a program to formalize the foundations of mathematics by adopting axiomatic set theory. It's happening now with a new formalization program advocating machine verifiable proofs. And there are ongoing things like the Langlands program that have changed the way we think about a lot of mathematics.

While I mostly agree, the one part I may disagree with is with documentation. It's not uncommon that documentation can be scarce for certain things which means that if someone can generate, review, and publish documentation for part of the project, I see that as a way of helping users that would otherwise have very little, just poor documentation, or in some cases no documentation at all.

Comment Wrong conclusion. (Score 5, Interesting) 56

A drought of skilled workers is further slowing them down...

Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers. As for the cause, the only rational conclusion is that there is insufficient competition in the energy distribution market. To encourage competition, the correct move would be to start breaking up large energy distribution companies like PG&E.
