There was a recent report from Finnish news agency YLE showing that the diagnosis rates show significantly variations between different regions of the country. So it seems even within a single country the criteria can be inconsistent.

It depends on your task. In analytics where you need to scan lots of data points within few columns, then columnar storage is very much the best. But for transactional workloads where you have to deal with specific entities, row based would be more advantageous. There are hybrid systems that try to be both at the same time but in my experience they end not doing either very well.

What a fine story you tell!

Let’s ignore all the political and socio economic dynamics driving the current trends. Squeeze people’s livelihood by rent seeking; pillage public resources while externalizing as much of the risks and cost of doing business back to public; limit access to capital to few networks. Then pretend it’s in people’s power to choose to earn more if they would only work harder.

No one is arguing that founders shouldn’t earn the rewards for their work and risk. But to act like it’s all fair business and freedom of choice is rather glib to the point of being callous.

There is no guarantee that the asi would care about human beings at all. Personally, I can’t see why it would.

After all that has been revealed to us over the past 15 years, it is really disheartening to see people still thinking that setting a few toggles will prevent these companies from abusing them.

Just continues to prove that if you solve a bit of inconvenience for them, people will let you exploit them and their families.

Funny that these are the same people that have been blasting the alarm on dangers of AI singularity. Now they cannot wait to put their tools in weapons.

La Bete (The Beast) by Bertrand Bonello was also quite on point I thought.

None of this prevents them from providing proper customer service that can resolve cases of false positives.

I think that is the wrong lesson to take away from the video. As the video emphasizes, DoF is a tool that can be used to achieve an intended effect in story telling.

Main thrust of the video is that these days these tools are predominantly being used for convenience of post-production and cost cutting at the expense of immersion and story telling.

Being part of the team that achieved AGI first would be to write your name in history forever. That could mean more to people than money.

Also 10m would be a drop in the bucket compared to being a shareholder of a company that has achieved AGI; you could also imagine the influence and fame that comes with it.

He is asking a valid question. Experts on the issue also warn that there is no guarantee that what replaces the current regime would be any more amenable.

They are very similar; with various similar solutions at differing stages of maturity.
