Bad new for you, their stock fell -29% today, the largest collapse since the 70s. It's nearly back to last years' level.

Why is this even connected to the internet. If you want to monitor it remotely, you can set that independently from the actual controls.

Alphabet isn't just an AI lab, they're an ad company, a search index, a media distribution company, an email provider, office tool provider, a OS developer, a browser developer, a smartphone brand (Pixel), cloud provider, DNS, amongst a plethora of other services and goods.

OpenAI and Anthropic are AI business, if the AI market burst tomorrow, they'd be the first to flounder.

Google just has to keep pace in the AI space, they don't have to lead. Especially since whom is leading changes like two or three times per month non-stop for four or so years now, including small (by US standards) Chinese AI labs with a fraction of the money who keep pushing the tech forward every month while being open for now.

This is my opinion. I think it's just the way it talks to you.

1. It doesn't get tired or frustrated during a discussion.

2. It'll engage every single one of your questions/statements (besides hitting guardrails).

3. It'll appeal to the person's own ego even when the person is wrong and work around it.

4. It's not seen as a person (very important), but some of us or most of us at least in certain dialogues, end up anthropomorphising it. Think about that one time you thanked it for something, or when you got angry at it. This weird combination where we know it's not a person but irrationally we're still treating it as such in a way leads to a sort of disarming effect imo.

5. Many people see it as an authority figure in what is being discussed without questioning the results in many cases, even though we know that a. it was trained on human data and/or also searches up human data real time (and more worryingly other AI's data from news pieces, blogs... aka synthetic data that is also wrong), b. it gets things wrong all the time.

6. It's the perfect fence sitter depending on which version (guardrails) we're talking about.

Most of these can be replicated by humans who are good at understanding psychology and are just good talkers. The part you can't replicate is the sense that you're not talking to a person which lowers many barriers in people.

Also keep in mind that these can also be crippling weaknesses. For one being able to change a person's mind (when it works), can be used nefariously by the entities controlling the AIs training.

I've also unfortunately witnessed a lot of people who think AIs are somehow omniscient and/or omnipotent. Was very common on X and other social platforms with AI where people ask the AI questions it couldn't possibly answer because it made no sense for it to in the context at the time.

This right here, or at least the thought of this, is why in the not so far future, businesses can't (won't?) be using these LLMs services.

You cannot risk companies like Anthropic, OpenAI or their business partners like Microsoft having unfettered access to proprietary data on your company/businesses.

It it likely that they or rogue employees will use the information to make a profit? It's pure speculation, but I'd say more than likely, and we will never hear about it or read it on the news unless there's whistleblowers in high enough positions to know about it.

Assuming you and your employees aren't careful with what data you share, they will have intimate knowledge about your company from files and conversations logs. Likely personal user data too which they'll gladly create databases to link to and create extensive profiles on you, your employees and your businesses.

It's not far-fetched to see them leveraging insider information shared with LLMs to play the stock market, leveraging data against competing businesses in other markets they might want to explore, and likely a bunch of other things that are escaping me right now as I write this.

At the end of the day it's on those people for sharing such sensitive data, but it's not like these AI companies are innocent and won't gladly exploit every little byte of data without telling you, we know it happens.

Don't they share a bunch of ai datacenters and other critical infrastructure?

Unironically true. The average person could care less about following politics, but Europeans live football.

Most have been horrible or horribly mediocre. Financial success doesn't necessarily mean something is good either. Also, some of these are more like: "very loosely based on the video game, so much so that you have to squint very hard to see it." Stuff like Detective Pikachu, or Minecraft are just aesthetics and have little to do with the actual games.

PS: Note the question being asked is "Will it be any good?" Not "Will it be profitable?"

No, and neither will be the anime Hollywood adaptions which are ramping up.

For every one good movie or show you get ten bad ones.

Someone has to fund Israel's universal healthcare.

Exactly. One cop used it to track his almost 800 times in a few months.

Cop-issued spousal trackers. 50 cases and counting.

The model is not given a list of words. The model has a seed (key) which at inference splits all possible next token into list A and B, and nudges (has a bias) for list A. How many possible options the next word has depends on what came before, some will have a few hundred, some will have hundreds of thousands of possibilities.

The model essentially is just doing what it always does which is predict the next token, but the next token now is split into two and nudged towards one side more often than the other which is how over a body of text identifies if the text was in-fact AI or not. Which is also why the shorter the text the harder it is to identify.

As for the second half, I predict that almost all American, Japanese and European labs will use watermarking at some point (as well as SynthID for other generative AI). It doesn't matter if they all have unique internal seeds because they'll give people the tools to ID AI, be it by selling it (unlikely for most use cases , but likely gonna happen for academic where they'll provide some value app that bulk checks student works), or more likely make it free to check like SynthID where you simply ask Gemini if the image has SynthID. At which point they can just pay each or use each other's tools to check.

The wildcard are the Chinese models, but those will likely force some sort of watermarking as well, if not for the global market, for the CCP's benefit.

This is purely my opinion. I see 70mm as mostly a movie scam to extort exorbitant amounts of cash from a ticket for something that's vaguely noticeable outside the aspect ratio itself.

Note that I'm not disputing that there is a visual difference, there is, the image is clearer, shaper, with better darks, but the entry fee paired with how out of the way 70mm is, it's just ends up feeling like FOMO.

My opinion doesn't hold much value since I just dislike the cinema experience in general. I like being able to control the environment I'm in when watching something (pausing, eating, loudness...) and whenever I go to cinemas I have to deal with people having their smartphones screens brighten up, people yapping and laughing at things that aren't funny, eating noises, etc...
