I think this what the demo's with sources do. But they might still run into the same problem - the LLM summarization might be a bit wrong and so now it is saying one thing and the source has a slightly different opinion.

Ugh. GoDaddy. I default to namecheap these days with cloudflare for the DNS. Works pretty well and is also, eh, cheap

You say you have no current skills related to your education or previous employment, but in today's world updating your skills isn't all that hard if you want to - there are so many resources online. Wife, kids, house and meaningful work all are things you can still achieve in your forties and even beyond. It's not too late! You seem to be suffering from what the Germans call Torschlusspanik and maybe more. Get your mental health in order and the rest will follow I would think.

This does look interesting but as other comments have pointed out without data or weights it's not clear how well this works. The training notebook seems to suggest it is not actually improving all that much on the training data

Not the game then

With a budget of 8.5M Eur/Usd. Alphabet spends 200B per year. If 40% of that is spend on search, their budget is 10 thousand times larger.

Yep I did. I thought this was about some new network architecture that needed loads of RAM but also produced, I guess, weird results

This seems overly focussed on the best selling phones rather than really the evolution of Camera Phones. The HTC One M8 was I think the first camera to use multiple lenses for depth and different zoom. The first Pixel might not have been all that popular, but was the first phone to take computational photography to the next level (night mode, background blurring that was adjustable after the fact). The Samsung S20 with 10x optical zoom and 100x total zoom might have been also not a complete success, but was really an eye opener.

I am looking forward to the day computers are better at coming up with things humans can do better than computers than humans.

We used to argue that face recognition and the ability to play go were the hallmark of true intelligence. Meanwhile thinking machines are replacing humans all over the place

Not very realistic I have to say. Who is going to take a 5 dollar bet serious in 2061?

The Germans requiring everything on paper with people witnessing signatures is of course rather silly, but whether it takes 3 weeks to form a company or 3 days is ultimately not going to be a real difference. I think the thing here is more that American companies have trouble handling non American companies and hence the flip. I sold a Dutch B.V. to an American company once except they didn't want to buy the company because they didn't understand it and instead we ended up selling the assets and taking a tax hit.

Also if you are in the EU you can just start an Estonian company and run that in Germany

More information on the exact ad campaign run would make it easier to understand all this. Who where they targeting? What was the max cost per impression? You might not like Yahoo! or Foxnews but surely if your ad campaign is such that Google thinks your target audience can be found there, they should show your ad there?

Agreed! But that's not really the point the article is trying to make. Once you know DALL-E, it is pretty easy to see which are DALL-E and which are not. Just like you get to know an artist. But in 10 years, if we have 100 DALL-E like networks and you compare them to 100 artists, can we tell the difference then?
