Being willing to sell isn’t the only test, otherwise domain squatting would be very difficult. You can generally accept these offers without much risk if done via a lawyer (I’m sur…

The concern is if you own a domain that you don’t own the trademark for. Twitter owned both the domain and all trademarks so it’s a non issue. Basically in fairly limited circumsta…

I don’t think he would. The Turing Test as originally formulated is a bit ambiguous but by most non-incentivised interpretations LLMs do not pass it. In the original test the evalu…

What is anticompetitive about it? The comment above is literally claiming they’ve been outcompeted.

Also a completely meaningless statement. Essentially “You didn’t need to file because your lawsuit is wrong” er… yea of course you’d say that or there wouldn’t need to be a lawsuit…

What’s naive about it? Maybe a bunch of people are finding great new software only possible because of LLMs. Good for them. I’m simply stating I haven’t. (I note in your comment yo…

Yeah I can see this as being an area that will benefit from LLMs. Though, taking it one further, we don’t yet have evidence (so far as I know) that this actually produces more secu…

The test is simple: have we seen great new products or improvements in the products we use over the past 12,24,36 months? The only great new product I’ve used is my LLM of choice, …

Ah yes this company that pirates billions of dollars of IP and then has to be sued to pay up suddenly grows a titanium moral backbone and decides to disclose 3 attacks that no one …

Except Roombas can only clean 80-90% of my floor, and not as well as a real vacuum. And we have a dog that leaves toys everywhere so probably it does more like 60% of the job when …

Another huge blocker (that is essentially just cost too) is maintenance. These things are like 1000x more complex than a car, need to work in a diverse range of environments, handl…

Not sure it’s a bubble so much as a story as old as time… signal hacking. Always has happened and always will

It can’t even write a passable novel… if you know of a great LLM-authored novel I should read please point me to it and I’ll take your recommendation!

> apple's hardware lead & overall design philosophy is falling apart What?? Could someone tell me where I can buy hardware as good as a MBP? Genuinely I’d love this, it would be li…

I do the same! I’d guess one reason is that there has been no iPad/App Store/YouTube invented for dogs… I have a gut feeling there will be negative consequences for how much time d…

Maybe a nit: LLMs do not and cannot cite their sources (at least scraped sources for the purpose of training) It’s kind of the harness that is doing the citing (or providing the co…

What? If I want to read Harry Potter or watch The Matrix an AI cannot produce something equally as good for me. So I need to pay those people, or break the law. For lots of online …

This is how the drug industry already works. I don’t think there’s any evidence “AI” (LLM) is capable of producing valid drug modifications.

Copying was prohibitively expensive.

Mistiming is equivalent to being wrong. And Musk is good at keeping valuations high! So who knows when it will tank.

I mean he is basically an influencer at this point? I guess this is a marketing play and we will be hearing more from him than ever.

Yes, my statement was loose. The blob doesn’t really have a position since it is theoretically an infinite distribution in 3 space. It has a mean, and that mean doesn’t have to lie…

Lots of translucent blobs composited to produce the appearance of a strawberry. There is no mesh or model. The visual surface of the strawberry could be made up of blobs spaced far…

My friend and I went to play poker this weekend. Demis Hassabis was there. I whispered to him “what the hell, that’s Demis Hassabis”! My friend had no idea who he was. My friend do…
