This is also the message I got from "the wind rises"! Though from talking with other people that takeaway doesn't seem universal -- which IMO is one of the ways to tell it's a great film :)
Ah -- IME people usually start a sentence with "in the nicest possible way" when they're couching something mean is all. Often it's even sarcastic, and the meanness isn't even meant to be couched, so I wasn't sure how to read it
Agreed! I'm not sure why the GP comment has a somewhat negative attitude about it, I think it's great for people to realize this and talk about it, every year a whole new year's worth of young adults turn up not knowing it! Insert XKCD lucky 10,000 comic here
Sadly I don't think it works this way, at least IIUC -- the state can't withhold taxes from the federal government, because those taxes (from biweekly paychecks anyway) don't go through the states -- they go directly to the federal government. Some states are trying to pass laws to still make headway in this area, for reasons like you suggest, for example NY:
(it's a really interesting situation since I think I read somewhere that the reason federal income taxes are directly remitted to the federal government today, is specifically to disallow this kind of state retaliation)
Aside from the rest of the (interesting!) nuanced discussion going on the comments here -- I really like his idea towards the bottom of combining the colors for numbers and strings into one.
And, maybe I'm missing something, but to me it seems obvious that flat top part of the S curve is going to be somewhere below human ability... because, as you say, of the training data. How on earth could we train an LLM to be smarter than us, when 100% of the material we use to teach it how to think, is human-style thinking?
Maybe if we do a good job, only a little bit below human ability -- and what an accomplishment that would still be!
But still -- that's a far cry from the ideas espoused in articles like this, where AI is just one or two years away from overtaking us.
As you suggest, I've had a moderately successful time trying to get AI to write its own Sublime Text plugins so our favorite editor doesn't get left behind, so might be cool to try with this too?
If you haven't seen it, this "Linux Touchpad like Macbook" project is related, the last/best effort I've seen in this direction. Here's a random update from a few years ago:
I know there are a lot of conversations going on about the dangerous elements of LLMs, but it’s nice to read a story like this alongside them — it’s a reminder of the remarkable potential of this new technology.
Could you have found out somehow else about the severity of the problem? Maybe, sure! But the fact that you had this LLM to ask, and it so easily understood whatever info you gave it, asked clarifying follow-up questions, and gave you info/directions in the way you needed to hear them — it’s such a new way of interacting with computers, almost like an API but made for humans to use, and cases like this is where that value shines most clearly IMO.
I'd like to read this, but it seems to be behind a paywall?
(There is a reasonable amount of the article before the paywall, and since the other comments here don't mention it, I am wondering whether they just thought the article was very short and then ended abruptly, lol)
This looks pretty cool, and is definitely useful! Do you have any examples of what the printed out cards look like? Perhaps in comparison to real cards
