AI is technically accurate. ML is literally the core component of the 1955 conjecture that defined AI. LLMs are a display of intelligence as a result of ML, also directly part of the original conjecture.

Sorry, no.

LLMs do one thing that was considered probably to be one of many attributes of what the proposal authors conjectured might be required to qualify for their definition of "artificial intelligence". But they do none of the other things: they do not form abstractions or concepts, they do not self-improve, they do not display human-like creativity. They only generate a statistically-probable stream of output tokens rendered as human vocabulary. If that counts as "a display of intelligence" to you, then I worry about what you think intelligence requires. Was ELIZA "a display of intelligence"?

The original proposal also did not define the modern understanding of "machine learning" as part of its outline of "artificial intelligence". The closest it got was this: "...admitting a new word and some rules whereby sentences containing it imply and are implied by others." But in the very next sentence the authors note "This idea has never been very precisely formulated nor have examples been worked out." What is commonly understood as ML by practitioners encompasses a universe of much-better-defined techniques than the first sentence quoted above, including some that don't fit that sentence at all. What was done with Cyc, feeding it carefully-crafted rules of language and logic, would fit into the above definition, but is not ML, and a lot of ML activities like visual object recognition wouldn't fit the above definition because they have nothing to do with language per se.

There is a statistically significant increase in deaths when the time change occurs. This proves that it is not simple for at least some people.

If you want to appeal to technology then go all the way! Propose using hours from sunrise at your location for daily activities, plus a universal time constant which applies even on other planets. You can calculate what the time is anywhere from your smartphone, right?

Come on guys, this is your moment! Come tell us how everything isn't a conspiracy, and the corporations aren't all out to get us!

This is how businesspeople behave all the time. Virtually all of them see us as a lesser species to be manipulated and milked for profit. Advertising is manipulation of your emotional state to cause you to make decisions you'll regret. The whole business world runs on gaslighting you, the only difference between this and that is degree. It's a war for your wallet, and your security and sanity are the casualties.

If you don't buy a racing car Porsche is middling at best without any luxury features other than a vroom vroom noise.

I see you have no idea what the top end of their catalogue looks like, but still want to flap your yap as if you had anything relevant to say.

I'm sad for you that you've not experienced luxury to the point where you can't even identify what it is.

I'm sad for you that you're suck a clown-assed cuck for the wealthy. You constantly bend over and spread for anyone in a position of authority because you're easily impressed by power. You're never going to understand the kind of harm you do by being an enabler for the worst people.

It looks good, it works well, and Claude produced an SBOM and a security audit.

Since Claude is not a human, Claude cannot sign off on a security audit.

If a human signed off on Claude's security audit without verifying it themselves, they deserve exactly what they're going to get.

This is the cycle of capitalism.

I think we've all seen that script about hard times creating strong men creating good times creating weak men. What the nitwits who think it's the ultimate aphorism don't understand is a) what either of those words mean or b) that this applies just as much to nepo babies like the CEOs they worship.

And those projects are finding that a large number of people still submit LLM slop patches anyway. Even if they're all rejected immediately upon submission, it's still a burden on the project. As a result an increasing number of projects are limiting the ability to contribute, some basically closing outside contributions entirely.

I mean, they literally show the use case for it on some of their the videos. It's not a general purpose one by any means, but this one is an actual Pro box, not a "I'm a consumer and just want the name Pro on my device" box.

The current use case is music production. Logic Pro. I have an Akai MPC Gen 2, with a touch screen for moving around the DAW and manipulating the virtual instruments. Logic Pro with the same level of interactivity would be fantastic, and no the iPad version doesn't cut it. I'm actually very interested in it for this specific reason.

Price? Well, I paid around £4k for my Intel 4Tb beast in 2019 to store all the sample-based instrument libraries I have. It's not a "let's buy this to look cool at the coffee shop" machine, although I'm sure some people will. I'm actually very interested in it for a serious step up in the way music production works.
