Turing was half right. Pass his test and you haven't proven a machine can think — you've proven it can make us think it does. That's a far more dangerous thing to have built.
"[Microsoft's] platform power didn’t just come from controlling applications on top of Windows, but the OEM ecosystem underneath. If OpenAI builds AI for everyone, then they are positioned to extract margin from companies up-and-down the stack — even Nvidia. "
Ah yes, the ChromeOS strategy. How'd that work out for Google?
Building a platform is good, a way to make quite a bit of money. It's worked really well for Google and Apple on phones (as Ben notes). But there's a reason it didn't happen for Google on PCs. Find it hard to believe it will for OpenAI. They don't (and can not) control the underlying hardware.
> Example: When encountering a memory error during a Docker build, it increased the memory settings rather than questioning why so much memory was used in the first place.
“Technically, I am homeless. I do not have a place of my own. I’m not on any lease,” he says.
That is not 'technically' homeless, or any other kind of homeless. If it was, millions of adults who move back home with their parents would be 'homeless.' Millions of spouses who aren't on the lease or deed would be 'homeless.' Millions of roommates, too -- which is, in fact, what this guy actually is.
I sympathize that the guy is in a tough spot, $70k a year is not a lot to live on in LA. But this kind of self-victimization is not helpful, Professor.
This is a horrible way to frame the study's finding. "1% of people are responsible" sounds like some group is wasting resources, or taking up an uneven share.
The study looks at one year, and finds in that one year 24% of spending was on 1% of the people receiving care. That's not very surprising. 30 years ago I was in a bad car accident. I'm sure the cost of the ambulance, the emergency surgery, and the after-care was WAY more than most people average that year, and easily the most expensive medical year of my life. But it was just that one time.
I use Ubiquiti throughout my 90+ year old home, with multiple AC Pros. During the heart of the pandemic I had four people in my house, all Zoom'ing or streaming video at the same time, all on WiFi, with no issues.
I don't really know why I would need anything newer.
OnlyFans is at his core a tech company, with (I'd guess) a stack that looks a lot like any other high volume social media platform. They likely have a decent size engineering group.
Yet all of what I would think of as the expected recruitment links (e.g. https://careers.onlyfans.com/) go nowhere. Quick searches on LinkedIn, Indeed and CrunchBoard come up empty.
Obviously, this is due to their content. But I wonder, how does a company like this recruit good (or at least decent) talent?
"something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest."[1]
The article you get when clicking isn't the content promised by the headline. To get the content promised, one needs to go to a second article, which requires a fee.
"Let's now assume that the user enables the PIN unlock and configures Bitwarden so that it doesn't require the master password on restart."
If the user has setup Bitwarden so the master password is not required, then the user gets what they asked for, namely a password database secured by a 4 digit PIN. Not clear to me why this is a problem Bitwarden needs to fix.
