I just imagine the world in which the industry defined by deterministic nature and facts has the bravery to call spade a spade. LLM's have a function. Machine learning also. But calling LLM's Intelligence and pushing the hype to overdrive?
I am a simple man. In 2022 I glanced trough Attention is all you need and forgot about it. A lot of people made money. A lot of people believed that the end of programmers and designers is absolute. Some people on the stage announced The death of coding. Others bravely explored the future in which people are not needed for creative work.
Aside of the anger that this public stupidity produced in me, I always knew that this day will come.
Maybe next time someone will have the balls not to call a text-generator's with inherent hallucination Intelligence? Who knows. Miracles can happen.:)
I am already on traditional phone and my iPhone is used only for banking apps in adequate scenario.
Moved my company away from macOS to ARCH.
Personally I don't have to wait to see the results of an systemic marketing and pr over product people approach.
Just read today Tim internal memo on The Verge.
Quote:
There was much to celebrate, from our remarkable new product line-up to our values driven work around climate change, racial equity, and privacy.
There is no ethical consideration in computer science.
There are goals on a horizon, souls to be stolen, identities to be classified, big money to be made. If someone is still asking why there is ageism in tech, the answer is not in performance of the elders. The answer is that when you are young, you are full of shit and its easy to be trained like pavlov dog. It is a natural thing, young people are more likely to be naive and easy to mislead. On other hand how you like your iPhone X? It is not secure, yet. After a year of training it will be. Face it people, privacy is dead.
Someone has deleted my comment. Why?
I will say it again. Firefox 57 is faster, with better UI design, i love dark theme option and it works under old Os X Mavericks perfectly. Waiting for High Sierra optimization (is very heavy on cpu) and will use it exclusively.
Waiting for High Sierra optimization and totally ignoring everything else for browsing. Ideal choice for old os X installations. Running it on Mavericks was a blast.
I don't get it at all. How on earth i will give someone (encrypted or not) my passwords? If you want to give convenience, make it local and secure with easy interface and charge money for your work. I will buy instantly well designed and secured product. This no.
