I see we are in peak bullshit again. AI will be a force amplifier. great, we get that. I suspect that this kind of vague marketing bollocks will be generated almost without any oversight soon. However there are also risks. Just like calico which used to be a really expensive luxury, and then with empire and colonialism, and later mechanisation became a cheap(er) commodity, LLMs will kneecap whole industries. I think…

I think a great deal of opportunity is indeed being missed: AI Porn.

History shows that you can always sell a lot if you rely on the 7 sins of men, in this case lust. Porn has always been a sort of a pioneer in the tech space anyways but none of the VCs have the agreements in place to invest in such a space.

Though I know AI Porn is going to print money. Especially when video generation becomes remotely usable.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you sure that is all the brain does?

As far as "inputs and outputs" are concerned, yes. (Well, not quite, I think there is also communication with the body going on through chemical signals - but even this doesn't have to do a lot with how we experience our senses) Not a neurologist, but that's about what you can read in basic biology textbooks.

What is the value of ignoring the endocrine system?

There are plenty of inputs to the brain outside of neural signals and implying otherwise isn't even at the level of basic biology textbooks.

I'll put it this way - what are the 'sensor nerve signals' that make us tired pray tell? Do models 'get tired'?

Hilariously for me (I’m a Microsoft FTE, fyi) there’s no mention of Bing, any of the multiple Copilot products in the Office/enterprise space, or, tellingly, the Azure OpenAI service (which provides you with private endpoints and models). I do see startups that use it, but it is a grossly lopsided view of the “market”. (And regardless of my employer, there are a lot of consumer and enterprise-focused solutions in tha…

There is a large community of folks that simply can't stand your employer. I hate to break that to you. The anti-competitive antics and open source washing has no end
