So the issue isn't AI, it's AI in a capitalist world

Embarrassing bugs are not RCEs. Also the industry should be more mature now, not less. But move fast and break things, I guess...

What stops people designing those automated attacks to run the python script on a phone that is blocked by Google?

I would argue clair obscur is actually a shooter game seeing the variety of op builds

Many potential Chrome users were not users, and then android happened. I'll believe firefox has a shot to become mainstream when they do something similar. Until them, keep your users or alienate them and disappear.

Potential users are not users, and firefox can't be that browser. Actually that browser is brave, and it also doesn't have hundred of millions of users. You can't fight defaults browsers, people don't care.

That's how normal users stay on chrome while your users leave firefox. That's how you get no users at all.

Care to explain why?

NMT doesn't "contain" tranformers and deep RNNs, it can use them. LLMs use a transformer architecture, not everything using a transformer architecture is an LLM. NMT can actually use an LLM, but that's not the case according to the documentation you linked, they use a parallel dataset to train their models.

And is also not using an LLM. It's neural machine translation.

The built-in translation is not LLM, it's NMT

Maybe he wanted his point to be conveyed easily and used "post-apocaliptic fiction" as a shortcut, but probably knows it's not so trivial. I think people not versed in a particular domain can still have interesting (even if wrong) ideas, that are worth reading and thinking about.

I'm lucky. I'm lucky because I didn't ever have to try hard at anything in my life, and I have a good life.

I was born from two parents that cared about me. Luck

In a country where most people have a decent shot at life. Luck

I'm lazy, but I was granted a body that never failed me, and was pushed by people around me to try stuff. Luck

I'm lazy, but my laziness is somehow useful in this computer driven world. Luck

All this luck compounds, and thanks to the activities I was pushed to do, the schools I was pushed to go to, I was lucky to meet great friends, an amazing girlfriend, and have a cushy job, a nice house in a beautiful place. Luck. Luck. Luck. Luck

I have no ambition, I was never prepared for anything, but all I've had was luck.

That's what you call luck, and a lot of people try to convince themselves everything good that happens to them is because they somehow deserve it. Because they were "ambitious" and "prepared", and an "opportunity" struck at the right time, and obviously they seized it, and everyone that didn't just didn't deserve it as much as them.

Obviously some people weren't as lucky as me, and actually had to work hard, and managed to seize an actual opportunity that wasn't gifted to them. But that's not all luck, only a little part is. And those people are quite rare.
