I don’t think people care about if things pause or not, just why the government has to be involved.

I work in non AI robotics and if we had a system that in the course of doing what we told it to did something we didn’t want it to do (what AI companies called being misaligned) we would call it a bug and fix it with the fix being prioritized based on how bad the thing we didn’t want the robot to do is.

Sometimes preventing the robot from doing dumb stuff also means the robot can’t do smart stuff that it would be able to do if we left some code in. We balance the two factors out based on our understanding of what our customers want.

Obviously LLMs are more complex than what I do, but it doesn’t feel like it’s by THAT much.

So why does the government need to be involved again?

You’re “backend” isn’t JavaScript.

How late do you think Apple can come to that party and still wind up winning in the end?

Having piles of money when everyone else is lighting it on fire and a brand that would require quite the mistake to ruin gives you a long runway.

Is anyone really profiting from AI yet? I know Google basically saved their search monopoly but any one else?

I would be very surprised if it was publicly available.

Is the demand there at the price point and reliability levels that are currently possible?

That’s a very uncharitable interpretation of what they wrote, and goes outside of how what they wrote is supposed to be interpreted.

The researchers are not claiming that cognitive ability changes would definitely take longer than 21 days to appear, they’re suggesting that that is the next thing to test.

Computer vision based SLAM definitely has use cases and you can definitely make money applying it at the right companies to the right set of problems. Building a whole career around a single technique, any technique, probably is probably not gonna work. You need to be broader than that.

I’ve worked on plenty of problems where all you need is to find what pixels are a specific color. While I’m sure a NN could be setup for that, why make things harder than they have to be?

I’ve found C# pleasant to write in, and I get a bad feeling every time I deal with npm. On the other hand the library support for React is just so much better so I put up with it.

EDIT: I’m not a web dev, the web is just the most consistent UI platform for supporting mobile and some desktop we have now so that definitely influences my opinion.

I looked before I started using Let’s Encrypt for some internal stuff and there really isn’t a way to use name constraints in a practical way with modern web browsers at this point. If you’re not using a browser, things get a lot easier, but for browsers you sort of got to suck up that you can’t really avoid the “big” internet.

I don’t think it’s really the opposite opinion.

To pick on the game of Go as an example, the insight from the Bitter Lesson is the best method to use for Go is probably going to be the most broad method that abuses the magic of brute force the most, compared to a method that really encodes the best existing strategies of Go.

I think what OP is referring to and what I’ve observed is that in some fields you have to have a certain amount of expertise to just understand the rules of the game, and there are a lot of applications where someone approaching a problem with the goal of applying ML can’t quite get over the hump of understanding all the rules.

The examples all look reasonably modern, to the extent that you could use good C++11 without fighting the library.

You could get a C++ job. One of the issues with C++ is most people using it for anything useful only need to know some particular subset, only actually know that subset, and then get bit when the subset they know changes.
