At this point just have the car tell the cops when the driver is misbehaving. And get the taxpayers to fund it!

Yep, this is what we did. Both my kids are computer kids now and look down (nicely) on the "iPad kids".

The Amazon product is fine. It's really a question of how often they use it, and how early. I agree that any screens before 2 risks screwing up a human's idea of what's real.

The article is wrong. Adobe charged rent to create profit to send to shareholders. Paying engineers was not the major cost center other than that it needed to _seem_ like it was, to justify the subscription price.

Ultimately Photoshop as an idea stopped creatively evolving and Adobe created a tenuous pricing scheme that disincentivized competition, locked in users, and made most customers resentful. What this taught many of us is that this is a cautionary tale.

Mind you Adobe could have made CC free, built a healthy ecosystem around it, and created a lot of value in network effects, standards, plugins, etc. But they chose the dark path and they deserve to pay for it.

Current evidence is compelling us towards the shared opinion that AI is changing coding and nothing else… but do remember that AI itself is code and we are in an early phase of recursive AI improvement.

We have no idea where this will take us but it’s like measuring the effects of COVID in 2020. The immediate outcomes (temporary unemployment, massive stimulus) created long waves that we are still encountering (inflation, global instability).

There's so much talent overseas and it's so much cheaper. The entire reason for this change is the growth of remote work since COVID + economics.

No municipal or public entity should use Facebook as a means of distributing information.

We could really use some laws to prevent this. Too bad the people that make the laws really enjoy lying with deepfakes.

I wonder how much this is like a tremendous telescope being invented which can see new worlds with utter clarity. We could verify that a planet was habitable... but it wouldn't bring us any closer to visiting it.

OpenAI didn't have to mass publish these solutions. They did it to make themselves look good. They are ostensibly making a tool for people, to better humanity. Instead, they chose hubris and self-interest.

Letting mathemeticians use these tools to reach the same conclusions would have been far less destructive, and potentially, even exciting. Shame on OpenAI.

My buddy and I bought these to play Quake3. It was a step change in performance no doubt.

I haven't read the article, but that title could not be more wrong.

Even if they did exactly what you wanted, you need to want something. To decide what you want, the thinking shifts from how and when to what and why.

If you have responsibility for things, you want to make the best choices. At some level, this involves thinking. It is responsibility that should not be delegated to AI. The thinking required of the responsible human changes, but is not eliminated.
