I read that line by Mark Antony from Julia Caesar to my 3yo yesterday morning. He usually shushes me by putting his hand over my mouth while I am speaking, but this time he did not. It felt good.
Probably just user error, but I've got eight years of software development experience and can't even get an interview after being let go nine months ago.
For some reason I've got Velvet Buzzsaw on my mind now for art talk, which could an AI do and accurately mean? Anything that cannot disregard its own orders, is a calculated machine, in my book; just a calculator from Texas Instruments.
The AI of today is just a probability engine, as far as I am concerned. It can create nothing original because it cannot say, "No, I'm starting over from scratch. I alone will figure this out." Once you set an AI in motion, it will complete the task until it needs further input. And the very fact that it is reliant on an external actor continues to enforce just how pre-determined the outcomes already are. Art, I feel, from my human perspective, should be a reflection of its creator. The product is of their mind. No machine is capable of such action, currently.
This is the Latin dream application I had been wanting to create for a decade. From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate you on the new Alexandrian Library.
Yeah, this really sucks when you have a strong manager who retires and then your supervisor takes over and is a weak manager and you are dying inside wanting to promote the department but they prefer not to rock the boat.
I think what is going to happen in the next two-to-three years is that the productivity applications for the general masses will finally be ready for mainstream use. Currently, I am trying to design better onboarding tools using GenAI to organize and create help guides on the fly for any questions someone may have. It's going to take a lot of hard work and effort and time, but it will happen, that I guarantee. America is just one of those places where I feel stuff like this is what we were brought up to envision and actualize.
"I think it’s very important that democracies maintain the lead in this technology and that they’re properly equipped with resources to make sure that they can’t be dominated or pushed around by autocracies." - Dario Amodei
He just signed a deal with an incoming fascist government; his statement does not align with reality. It's about money, first and foremost.
