It may be novel, but I agree with parent that it's mostly in the convex hull of previous knowledge. I like the term remix to describe that! Progress and truly novel things often come from "out of the box", and we know…
Looking at some of the materials, they seem to have been doing CGI work, too, in later years. I do mourn the lack of physical special effects, models, and puppets, though. The studios try to convince us that we couldn't…
I agree, but I'm less optimistic about how far from that scenario we really are. I wonder what we'll look back on as the more damaging effect of the LLM hype: the economic bubble, or the carelessness it caused in people…
Maybe it's cynical, but I feel similarly and also wonder, what do these people see that I don't? Smart people with supposedly a lot of inside information. But when I hear them talking about LLMs with words like…
They compared with different "landmarks", and those are usually built around where people are, or people settle around where the landmarks are. I also found it strange that they didn't at least share a hypothesis of…
Aren't you worried about missing stuff? Maybe I'm farther out of the average than I think, but for me, planning and reminders are one of the few things I want 100% conscious control over at all times. Reminders are for…
We're at the point of one such being mainstream-popular again. "I get it, the brain is just an LLM!"

Sounds plausible. In Germany, which is on the list, the show runs in syndication on ProSieben. They have their own VOD service and people can probably stream it there.
> If companies want to compete in the world of AI generated code, human code review has to go. This is a HUGE non-sequitur. It only follows if by "compete" you mean producing more LoC. How often does that translate to…
I was going to add this, had I not found a comment already mentioning it =) The font kerning also usually tends to be way off, making the all-caps even more difficult to read.
I don't see this as inevitable at all. Voice as an interface has so, so many downsides. Privacy, inefficiency, making noise, fatigue, requirements to the environment, not to mention that at least I personally have many…

I already am. Even research is boring now. The drive towards understanding has almost entirely been replaced by throwing carp at the wall and seeing what sticks. "Researchers" publishing solutions they don't understand,…
I gave it the benefit of the doubt given the point of the article, and the rest of it was fine, so I also believe it was meant as a joke. A bit ironic, too, because the same article later quotes polls where a majority…
That's not true. Copyright applies whether the author says so or not. By default, anything you find on the publicly accessible web, you are NOT free to reuse. That's why the GenAI companies try to talk their way out by…
You can download it and re-upload it on your own site. And that would be an example for something that, in almost all cases, you wouldn't be allowed to do (unless the creator explicitly grants you permission).
I don't think the point is to just create as much content as possible, either. The term "content" alone implies lack of quality. IMHO, any LLM output is, and systemically forever will be, inferior to human creative…
Then the natural born humans should also be liable for any criminal acts the corporations founded or run by them commit. The fact that they don't is crucial, and probably the very reason why the concept of corporations…
That's a lot of optimism about the quality of LLM summaries which, just going by my own experiences with them, I cannot share. The part about collating all human knowledge also reminds me of the optimism on the early…
How do you see a possibility of avoiding model collapse? It seems to me to be an unavoidable consequence of two facts I consider pretty much irrefutable: 1) LLM content can at best be as good as the source material it…
I find Kinsella's argumentation extremely weak, and his defense of it (e.g. his AMA) entirely unconvincing. Unless you susbscribe to a number of very daring assumptions which, in my view, do not at all track with our…
I don't remember if it was the Commodore or some other phone, but one of them was explicitly advertised as a "second phone", recognising that banking etc. will probably be a dealbreaker for many. The way I imagined it…
I don't like the general dismissal of environmental concerns around LLM use as "doom-mongering". There was some miscalculation or misunderstanding around data center water usage once, and now this keeps being used as a…
