I really wish they'd remake this game - it was the best. Same story, same turn based game play, same maps, update graphics, that's all it needs. Would also be awesome if there was …

Or multiple helicopters flying in formation - also a possibility? Or just a bunch of drones?

Wouldn’t strapping it to the bottom of a blimp/airship have been simpler?

In summary. At some point an ai assistant will replace 80% of the functionality/apps offered by iOS & android - it will finally become the new OS (as we all knew from watching her)…

I'm by no means thinking this will happen imminently. But the news last night around A* made me wonder. If AGI really is 5/10/15 years out, it will presumably make most software en…

Does no-one remember the 1992 Robin Williams film - Toys? This has been coming for a lonnng time. Question is when there are two armies operating on the same principle do we reach …

Love the summary, don’t agree org entropy is inevitable and also don’t agree that equity is a silver bullet. Many times the cure is worse than the disease, it creates a whole bunch…

“ my point is purely about the effective output of an individual. If we were fighting an existential threat, say an asteroid that would hit the earth in a year, would you really te…

“ The Russians, invaded twice by Germany in the 20th century” - technically in WW1 Russia mobilized her armies ahead of Germany and was the first to cross over state lines on augus…

That’s amazing, some of those articles are priceless bits of HN satire.

I think this is interesting in the context of chatgtp. A model trained on language - which is itself a limited model of reality. If the purpose of language is reason and reason con…

Yes, his mnd was diagnosed around the age of 21? And he didn’t learn to ride bicycles from reading books.

Yeah I agree that’s fair, a parlor trick is perhaps a little harsh. ChatGTP can provide value - It’s arguable whether having done that ‘with classical’ methods could have been more…

Can chatgtp ride a bicycle? Can you ride a bicycle? If you ‘d never rode on a bicycle before - do you think if you read enough books on bicycle riding, the physics of bicycle ridin…

“To be able to be good at predicting the next word you need to have an internal model of the reality that produced that next word.” Now that’s an interesting claim - that I would d…

I think we disagree about what Y is. My point is that Y is not that different from materially what is possible with a slack bot from circa 2015. Essentially chatgtp is a less effic…

Pepper’s ghost is also impressive when you see it for the first time. They’ve enhanced it do entire concerts now with dead music stars on stage for huge audiences. Has it helped us…

ChatGTP/4 is to AGI what pepper’s ghost is to holography. It’s a parlor trick, even if you add plugins or the ability to call other hugging face ML models - it’s just a parlor tric…

So similar but not the same - I’ve been researching how to build my own chatgtp as a service - called something like ‘whenImGone’ - so a user can train a bot to talk like them, wit…

Take shelter, 2011. +1 for great movie

I think the real innovation that underpins chatgtp is not the LLM but the UI. The large companies have finally woken up to the fact that a simple chat interface is superior to most…

This is true - and I think what’s also being missed here is the potential to further this research for producing grain off-world. Growing crops in space or other planets will be a …
