Not just Altman, but also Amodei, Pichai and Nadella. These guys are desperate now.
Yes but the main thrust of his criticism is the fragility of the whole 'AI' stack, where every part of the stack is unprofitable, unstable and inter-reliant - if any one of those parts goes tits up - everybody else goes…
Actually I think it's 52% <ducks> :-)
You've got to remember that the average IQ is 100. There are a lot of people in the UK below this, just look at Brexit and who we elected, sigh....
Yes it was real. My fav phrase to describe the work was 'KY2K Jelly - helps you insert 4 digits where only 2 would go before' :-)
Actually a very good alternative would be Java and JavaFX, maybe using Eclipse as the IDE.
Positive reasons: 1) It runs out of the box without and Internet ocnnection. 2) The IDE is extremely good. 3) It teaches OOP and memory management (something often forgotten by today's programmers). 4) It is capable of…
Agreed. I still use Delphi (7) to write Windows apps (and Lazarus to port them to Linux MacOS). Not everything is web based.
Yes true, but I was really referring more to SUVs. Worldwide there is a real problem with this trend, and it is nearly all marketing. Certainly the average school run in the UK does not benefit form the extensive use of…
The problem is, they're just bad vehicles. They don't handle well, they guzzle fuel and they kill more pedestrians. There is no point in them unless you're a farmer.

Ha! Superb! That neatly describes the state of politics in the USA and the UK at the moment....
Just to add that Musk was not a Paypal founder either. In fact they absorbed his company and promptly fired him for making stupid decisions.
"These guys are working on something No one has EVER done in the history of mankind" - erm people were making electric cars before ICE ones!
Let's face it, it would have been called 'The Dildo', not 'The Tulip'.
GDPR is a good question as I'm not sure they can 'waive' the GDPR rights. There is an ongoing court case in the EU at present.
OK, under most circumstances that is a fair point, and I personally hate astroturfers, but in this case I feel the comment was equally valid as an answer to two threads that were physically separate - and could have…
Quantum will be the next 'AI', like blockchain was the last one. :-)
In the text generation tool outlined above (and indeed many of the convnet-based visual networks), the hidden layers are there precisely to extract 'meaning'. The lower layers (closer to the source input) deal with…
Exactly, we are in a very early phase. However, the hype wave is driving a dangerous level of premature deployment of half-baked parlour tricks or the over reliance on simple algorithms where there are real…
So true. The real danger with 'AI' at the moment is the premature deployment of half-baked parlour tricks or the over reliance on simple algorithms where there are real consequences. i.e. prison sentences and insurance…
Ha! I still use Delphi (amongst other things)! It's great for producing Native Windows apps and is extremely performant (and still works with Win 10). I stuck with Delphi 7 (and thus avoided all the subsequent politics).
"year or two learning CS on their own" Sorry, but what they are teaching themselves is not Computer Science, it is programming, which is a tiny subset of computer science or even slightly outside it but intersecting. To…
No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
I think this is a problem across the board in UK univeristies these days. When I did my CS degree (1993), I was one of two people in the year who got 1st class, now I think it's something like 25% awarded 1sts and the…
