They’re unknown because they don’t exist. There will simply be skills that haven’t yet been automated, but nothing will remain out of reach. The idea of having a career in a single field is probably dead, unless that…
I’m in a similar boat, though I’ve found some solace in that AI development (for me at least) has also made other kinds of work more enjoyable. Previously, since I enjoyed programming, problem solving, and learning more…
This is making the same mistake: looking at where AI is now and not at the rate of progress it’s made. If you have a thinking machine that is more capable than every human on Earth and thinks 100x faster, how long do…
Does paying someone on Fiverr to draw something for you make you an artist?
Indeed. I think this will ultimately require government intervention and regulation to keep it from destabilizing and monopolizing the entire economy. They’ll have to make AI more like a public utility than a private…

You can’t necessarily do that in C either, it depends on if your object is in a container that relies on pointer stability. Intrusive linked lists are common in C and they get broken by this, for example.
It remains to be seen, but a reasonable argument against this is found in the progression of chess AI engines. After Kasparov was beaten there was still a period where the best humans working with machines were still…
The wealthy bring the capital required. The problem is fundamentally the commoditization of intellectual labor. It will simply be a game of whoever spends the most wins.
Who cares what it is if most of us suffer as a result?
Almost certainly the collapse of democracy as a political system and the end of nation states. Also a collapse of the human economy and the rise of the AI economy. Other people have made this point but the short of it…
None of the sentences in your comment are even close to correct.
The deindustrialization and degrowth policies put forth by climate activists will kill more people and cause more suffering than climate change.

Sounds a lot like “who is going to pick the cotton?” to me.
There is an optimal chess program and there is an optimal AI algorithm. The former is merely practically uncomputable, the latter is theoretically uncomputable.
I think it’s possible AI job disruption (or the threat thereof) could lead to a new labor movement capable of uniting people across the isle. It remains to be seen, but I think if the threat of a “permanent underclass”…
At least for me, I think half the value in building to learn was that the knowledge and skills acquired in the process, especially cursory skills and knowledge, might be useful in the future, even if there was no…
On-prem AI is another solution. I’m surprised more companies aren’t leaning in this direction due to security/IP concerns. My employer is planning to spend several million on local AI hardware.
In the field of pure mathematics this might be true, but it has implications regardless for applied math, engineering, and physics.
I agree it is tautological in some sense. It is more precise to say compression requires prediction, and rather than sampling (as in a generative model), we use the probability distribution to efficiently encode…
I’m not exactly sure what distinction you are trying to make, but a compressor that generalizes from currently observed day to potential future data _is_ a better compressor, as it will have better predictions as it…
This is a lot less surprising when you learn how non-LZ compressors work, that is, by modeling a probability distribution and using those probabilities to encode information in the minimum number of bits required to…
Really cool project. I wonder what the future of LLM inference will look like. The Talaas demo is promising, but using an ASIC with weights in ROM means you can’t update the model (weights or architecture) without…
Once you have a mask of the positions you want to compress, you can generate a shuffle index vector from that mask to place the desired elements in the low part of the vector. You can expand the mask into nibble-sized…
