- Big Tech becoming more privacy-friendly (just like Apple who just enabled end-to-end encryption on iCloud) - Mostly a lot of the same stagnation we've seen in the tech industry for the past 5 years. - Some sprouts of innovation around generative language, probably around fact checking, detecting and removing "hallucinations" from models. But probably not anything significant enough to significantly shift anything f…

#12Nothing particularly interesting outside of AI. But, a lot of interesting new products enabled by the integration of GPT-3, maybe even in the crypto scene. For example, there have always been ideas floating around about creating a blockchain based repository of scientific knowledge or social media or whatever. The main blockers for ideas like that were always content moderation at scale: how do you know that what som…
> filter out garbage and toxicity I find these kinds of descriptions confusing. What does "garbage and toxicity" mean? You might as well have written "filter out bad things", it would be equally vague and subjective.
For example, if we go the human nature route, then any comment - no matter how inflammatory - is fair game as long as the goal of the comment is to "help the tribe" in some sense. That's kind of like political speech. So, you could faithfully argue ideas like "nazis are good, and we should be like them", as long as you aren't using toxic language and attacks on other people while doing it.
EDIT: Actually fascist/communist ideas contain beliefs that are anti-social, so wouldn't be considered pro-social according to human nature, and that's where the conversation would stop. It still stands that heterodox ideas that don't work, or people don't like, can be technically pro-social.
If we go the cultural route, then identify the mainstream beliefs and rules of discussion and enforce them. This is like the "no swearing" rule, or "no nazis" rule.
You could just codify a set of rules for content that the AI adheres to.

Not exactly. It's possible to identify anti-social comments. You just have to define what's considered anti-social, either from a human nature perspective or a cultural one. For example, if we go the human nature route, then any comment - no matter how inflammatory - is fair game as long as the goal of the comment is to "help the tribe" in some sense. That's kind of like political speech. So, you could faithfully arg…

#18* Generative imagery starts finding commercial use cases, with advertising as the first destination. * Copilot continues growing among developers, and eventually reaches a point where it's as essential as autocomplete or syntax highlighting. * Venture capital remains dry for half of the year. * Someone - with bets on figma - ships a feature that auto generates react code from a design. This process is ripe for automa…
