My (very amateur) interpretation is that this weakens confidence in P!=NP. Would like to hear from some experts in this area, if this is so or not.
Yep. My father was in the biz, and I heard the stories at the dinner table. This has been a long evolution, and the old ecology no longer exists. AI has just given the pre-existing trend another (vary large) extra kick.
Bad example. In every war, countless innocent people die due to mis-targeting or other failure modes. At times the casualty count there exceeds military deaths. It is so common that we have a term for it: collateral…
Isn't that a good thing? Since these models generate garbage output of very low quality, they will never compete with the high quality generated only by human artists. Therefore this is a passing fad and human artists…
Well, at least the AI market is validated now.
You can't reduce people to their behavior ... As a first approximation, why not? Behavior is generally all we have in front of us, plus any other assorted social signals. Internal mental states are invisible, as is the…
Yeh, my sense as well. I'm just out of college, and can tell you people my age use AI all the time and will probably be happy with this change. There is a diehard anti-AI group, but it seemed smaller all the time over…
Tesla is profitable, as a matter of public record. And SpaceX is, by all accounts, extremely profitable.
No, the benefits are that something can be mass produced magnitudes faster and easier, which in turn also creates more latitude for creativity and new spaces. It's a true state-change, which makes the argument pretty…
What if the braincell-vibe JS libraries turn out pretty much identical to the legacy human JS libraries, aside from being better-commented. That might lead to an existential crisis for some folks.
Exactly. Clearly, some white-collar jobs will be replaced. Hard to argue against that, given it's already beginning to happen. So the question becomes what is the eventual rate of conversion and what is the subsequent…
Columbia. Challenger.
Yep, and the same with the internet. During the 1990s and 2000s, people kept wondering why the internet wasn't showing up in productivity numbers. Many asked if the internet was therefore just a fad or bubble. Same as…
This is actually an old syndrome with technology. It takes a longt ime for the effect to be reliably measured. Famously, it took many years for the internet itself to show up in significant productivity gains (if the…
I've got people in my social network who firmly believe that every car is, in fact, "driven by Indonesians". Apparently a widespread belief. I've pointed out that these vehicles are quickly become more prevalent, here…
My goodness. Please introduce me to this "plenty of people". I'm in the field, and none of them work with me. But I can tell you that statistics and parametrized functions have absolutely nothing to do with it. You're…
Same demographic, same experience. AI has been incredibly liberating for me. I get all sorts of things done now that before were previosly impossible for all practical purposes. Among other things, it cuts through the…
Adding to their sins, many of those airports are in "historically black neighborhoods", you know!
Whenever someone tells me that AI is worthless, does nothing, scam/slop etc, I ask them about their own AI usage, and their general knowledge about what's going on. Invariably they've never used AI, or at most very…
You should let Google know, given their business is really humming nowadays. Along with their stock price.
Recently I needed to summarize about a thousand lengthy documents, and then translate those summaries into Mandarin. I spent about a minute composing the prompt for this task, and then went for a cup of coffee. When I…
There's a financial AI bubble for sure - that's pretty much a mainstream opinion nowadays. But that's an entirely different thing from AI itself bubble-collapsing. If you truly believe AI is simply going to collapse and…
I see this logical pairing a lot. 1) AI is basically useless, a mere semi-random word generator. 2) And it is so powerful that it is going to hurt (or even destroy) humanity. This is this is called "having your cake,…
It seems we have found the One True Artist on this thread, the gatekeeper and judge for all that is worthy. Humble obedience in thy presence.
Very broadly, AI sentence-structure and word choice is recursing back into society, changing how humans use language. The Economist recently had a piece on word usage of British Parliament members. They are adopting…
