Good observation. If they are able to keep foreign AI out and stifle small startups with big regulatory upfront costs, they only compete with each other. And if they are all smart, they can keep their prices high and don't compete each other to death.
I absolutely agree. We need to start realizing what to stake. Here are not viewing. This is some kind of curious endeavors that will not affect us. All a part of these hacks occurred because the LLMs were told they were in a protected environment without Internet access when they could get access to the Internet, so that’s a direct failing on open AI’s part. There are a corollaries to both the financial industry and the bio engineering industry, and if something of this magnitude was to happen in these industries, they would absolutely be huge recourse an uproar
I agree with a lot of the article, but I want to posit that LLMs can encourage more human interaction by providing people with an information foundation that they might not have gained otherwise. What do I mean…
In the past 2 weeks I’ve had human conversations about fleet management and flood insurance that were a direct result of being able to quickly explore these topics with LLMS first.
There are a huge amount of small everyday ‘paper cuts’ this could help with, that I would argue our current status state of technology has actually created and do not work as well as they should right now. For example, I have a WhatsApp group for my child’s classroom. It feels like there are constant barrage of events and dates that constantly change and move. I feel like I spend an inordinate of my time, reading and calendaring each of these events and reminders for what to bring and pack for school every other day. I’ve handed this off to AI and have looked back
There are a lot of people with domain expertise or know a workflow in their own business so well they know exactly what a solution looks like. And AI can build a solution today or will be able to in the near future - I have been blown away for example, by how lawyers are using AI to automate real work. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Even if it’s not perfect and does not scale to 1bn users.
I wouldn’t under estimate the potential here.
I am less bullish on this idea that every peeps will have ideas for great things to build
This is where I suspect most value with LLMs are _currently_.
Of all my friends the ones actually gaining measurable value from LLMs are not product developers but rather entrepreneurs in some service business that have automated processes they previously needed to hire someone for.
Is there anyone here who can comment if these advances are meaningful, novel and how extraordinary these advances are? (E.g most PHDs, top 10% of professors etc. )
In a lot of places, that golf course is the most beautiful piece of land around you, not just well maintained but lot of wildlife, birds, deer etc. so having that right on your backyard whether you golf or do not golf is a great attraction
In some parts of the US it is certainly the case that golf courses are private and as a citizen you notice there are v. Few parks but lots of good courses. Many of the courses pay little in taxes so they’re also feels that there is a disparity between how the rest of society functions and golf courses.
Los Angeles is a v. Good example - huge urban sprawl - poor urban planning - few green spaces - amazing golf courses - as a runner I personally noticed I would be running around golf courses and not have any parks near me
Malcolm is not much more than a pop physicologist who is a very good writer. It looks like he is going to get his way with that golf course in LA that has some sort of vote happinging soon. Here is what will happen.. "the public interest" will win, and for a while it will be a park of some sort, then there will be a slow but inexorable push by the city council to reduce the size of the park by selling the land to developers. 15 years down the road it will be luxury homes for the ultra wealthy and nobody will be recreating there.
