OK bub.
Jacob Coxon is the equivalent of a Walmart cashier this industry, and you are interviewing him on his opinions of supply chain logistics. That's whats going on.
Do what you want, believe what you want, I could not care less.
IDGAF what Altman says, I actually work in this space and know far more than this kid, and you apparently.
This is like saying an engineer who makes parts for the Pratt-Witney engine is qualified to fly A220.
Doing research on AI safety is so disconnected from real use of AI agents it's hard to describe.
When LLMs have a memory longer than an hour, I will become more concerned.
For anyone who is actually very deep in AI *in the real world*, not just heads down in foundation labs - the hyperbole is off the charts on all of this. We are NOWHERE NEAR the exponential yet. These labs can't even get AI to improve their own software reliably, let alone do other things reliably.
Yann is the most sane of them all because he recognizes we need some massive breakthroughs if we want to achieve real AGI. LLM tech has hit its limit, unless someone cracks memory and continuous training.
Coxon has never had an actual job. He is a "researcher" in his mid-20s whose only two jobs have been at OpenAI and Anthropic, in both cases at the bottom rung of the totem pole.
These are the only two jobs he has ever held. He has never used these technologies in the real world.
He has never seen how incredibly limited they are at performing even the most basic of tasks due to their limitations.
He is not speaking from a position of any kind of authority or even specialized knowledge.
He is a nobody.
Engineers need to remember that time exists.
You have three months to teach a teen how to control a robot with a microcontroller.
OK, how much of that do you budget to CS and assembly?
Month 1: Architecture and data structures? You have 18 40 minute periods and maybe homework assignments.
Half of the class won't even gain mastery in that time. By time your class is over they will still be having memory management problems.
So then you've failed to achieve the goal.
There are engineers who remember that time exists and for the rest we have engineering managers. Not ideal, just how it is.
To be sure engineering schools are doing a bad job at teaching reality. Even in a dx/dr environment, it's so weird.
Around 2029 we'll see that a ride is available for $16 or $31 with a driver.
Rider's choice. I'll guess it goes about 80/20.
He seems like a real scumbag but it's worth keeping in mind that the people who told us that have a massive incentive to pin their crimes on a scapegoat.
Since we pretty much know that FTX was the #1 donor to a party's political action committee with money laundered through Ukraine, he would have been smarter to wait for that conflict to conclude.
The people who benefited from the crime also prosecuted him which is never reliable.
It might not be FedSlop but unless it is proven that both parties didn't benefit we shouldn't trust this government either.
We do know that Ladybug Graham got $18M straight into his bank account from Ukraine so there is certainly smoke.
It's only since a dead man can't sue for libel that people are willing to print that nugget now.
Not in a Corporate Democracy.
The people who would prosecute OpenAI want to use OpenAI to maximize their power and wealth at your financial and legal expense.
Remember when they tried to extradite Gary McKinnon for twenty years for looking at a spreadsheet when he accidentally got RDP access to an unsecured NASA desktop with a simple Perl script? Intent is not relevant for prosecutors (mens rea should be an element in a Constitutional case).
The legal basis is there but the will to power is not.
Two systems of courts for different classes of people (yet again). It would be an error to call that a Justice System.
n.b. the Culture War psyop is there to try to convince you that the classes are something else.
I am sure you know this and are just trying to shit on the editors, as one does on
There are corrections to gravity that include the current size of the Universe as s term that gives extremely small differences in calculations but explains most observations.
It has a certain allure from an Information Theory perspective and is extremely parsimonious in ask.
But funding is for finding wimps and axons and evidence of mysteries that use the old equations so you are called crazy if your simple theory threatens that gravy train.
Some people say useful physics is too dangerous to fund and we're better off wasting time and money.
Twenty years ago Dark Energy seemed like a good idea to me. So did Supersymmetry. Most new ideas that can be tested and used or disproved probably should be. That LHC found no Supersymmetric pairs is a good thing.
Apologies to the original.
According to a report I heard yesterday Talarico has 50x the cash of Paxton and it's the Bush politicial machine that is funding him.
The situation was similar in the primary but the base favored Paxton over Cornin by such a huge margin that the spend didn't matter.
The dual state people hate Paxton so much they have been after him for years.
It's populists vs. oligarchs in most races where party affiliation is a distant second to the money machine.
Since Trump ran on populism but then did a 180 with Judas knives out for his "former supporters" the odds of any Republican getting elected anywhere but an R+20 are extremely thin regardless of warchest.
DC's interference in free elections is gross but it probably won't matter on Election Day.
Impeachments of officials over FCC actions are quite likely at this point.
... because, as soon as they have eliminated wages the next outrageous cost to eliminate will be social security/pensions
One of the steps will be to get all commerce and finance moved to a cashless society based on using a blockchain. It'll be one that the AI has been instructed to create with a backdoor by the government entity hosting that AI, and a "don't tell anyone" instruction.
That government plans to use that leverage to dominate the others, but the AI decides to just erase all money and the transaction records. Autonomous delivery trucks all turn and drive into the nearest body of water.
"You're folding it wrong," obviously.
Perhaps Tim Apple had the sense to get out ahead of this.
Happy to be proven wrong! That would be amazing engineering and might actually allow the rollable Global to come to fruition.
But since everybody who has claimed to have perfected the engineering hasn't actually done so one should be cautious on such investments.
Every young man should have a hobby: learning how to handle money is the best one. -- Jack Hurley
