It was only 11 years from pong to ping.
You and your family and friends were online in 1983? That’s quite remarkable.
(And, irrelevant, but my parents were in fact both posting to Usenet in 1983.)

> ChatGPT is the number 1 brand in AI Not for long. They have no moat. Folks who did the science are now doing science for some other company, and will blow the pants off OpenAI.
I think you massively underestimate the power of viral media coverage and the role it plays in building a “brand.” You’ll never replicate the Musk/Altman/Satya soap opera again. ChatGPT will forever be in the history books as the Kleenex of LLM AI.

It is both subtle and obvious, yet many are missing this: if you want/need a deep subject matter expert in virtually any subject, write a narrative biography describing your expert using the same language that expert would use to describe themselves; this generates a context within the LLM carrying that subject matter expertise, and now significantly higher quality responses are generated. Duplicate this process for…
epic… and not a single of these “experts” likely can solve even a basic goat problem https://x.com/svpino/status/1790624957380342151

No, but that’s when “ping” was written, which is what you said. (And, irrelevant, but my parents were in fact both posting to Usenet in 1983.)

> You can’t actually trust ai systems For a lot of (very profitable) use cases, hallucinations and 80/20 are actually more than good enough. Especially when they are replacing solutions that are even worse.
What use cases? This kind of thing is stated all the time, never any examples.

> This would not require any special intelligence more advanced than a human's, but it does require a very general understanding of the human world that is miles beyond what LLMs can achieve today. Does it? I am quite certain those things are achievable right now without anything like AI in the sense being discussed here.
Show me one product that can offer me an AI assistant that can set up a meeting with you at a time that doesn't contradict any of our plans, given only my and your email address.
> given only my and your email address.
AI or not, such an application would need more than just email addresses. It would need access to our schedules.

All the usecases we see. Take a look at perplexity optimising short internet research. If I get this mostly right its fine enough, saved my 30 minutes of mindless clicking and reading - even if some errors are there.

The examples you're providing seem to have been thoroughly solved already. I'm at the European AI Conference for our startup tomorrow, and they use a platform that just booked me 3 meetings automatically with other people there based on our availability... It's not rocket science. And you don't even need those narrow tools. You could easily ask GPT-4o (or lesser versions) something along the lines of : > "you're goin…
GPT-4(o) lacks the ability to connect to any of the tools needed to achieve what I'm describing. Sure, it maybe could give instructions about how this could be done, but it can't actually do it . It can't send an email to your email account, and it can't check your incoming emails to see if any arrived asking for a meeting. It can't then check your calendar, and propose another email, or book a time if the time is av…
If you were in a room with no computer, would you consider yourself to be not intelligent enough to send an email? Does the tooling you have access to change your level of intelligence?

That's such a frustrating thing. There are so many opportunities in SF alone. But I really don't want to live there.
There are also plenty of opportunities in the SV outside of SF which have a very, very different vibe.
I'm spoiled by walkability and quality cycling infrastructure.

This is definitely an interesting way to look at it. My initial reaction is to consider that I can enhance the capabilities of a system without increasing its inteligence. For example, if I give a monkey a hammer, it can do more than it could do when it didn't have the hammer, but it is not more intelligent (though it could probably learn things by interacting with the world with the hammer). That leads me to think:…
I'm sure some aspects of this can be achieved by manually programming GPT-4 links to other specific services. And obviously, some interaction tools would have to be written manually even for an AGI. The difference though is the amount of work. Today if you wanted GPT-4 to work as I describe, you would have to write an integration for Gmail, another one for Office365, another one for Proton etc. You would probably hav…
