This reminds me of how it's a software developer's ultimate power that he or she gets to bring the vision to life. If you disagree with the implementation of a requirement, you can build it the "right" way, and let them choose to fire or replace you. If your judgement is good, they probably won't.
Similarly, Patrick Stewart assumed a written role, but he was responsible for its ultimate execution, which have him influence over the immediate execution in small ways, and likely, increasingly powerful influence over its future execution.
He deserves a great deal of credit for how Picard ultimately came to be represented.
Feynman describes molecular interactions beautifully, and has a textbook where he explains that even the boundary between water and air operates on a model like diffusion. Hydrogen and oxygen are constantly snapping and breaking back and forth. It's all just invisible to the human eye. I imagine this is similar.
The difference is that most chatbots are not actually highly successful search engines that are also being a chatbot and pretending it's the same thing
Coherence is a given... What we lose over decades is alignment.
What do you think dreaming is, silly?
Did you migrate any old email?
Five did, but nine did too
There's certainly a grain of truth, but there's also a lot of idealism and naivete.
First, there's the false dichotomy. Only psychopaths do things purely and only for the incentives. Others modify their behavior in incentive optimizing ways, but within the constraints of what they think are right and wrong.
The author brings the confidence of the newly religious. They have found some great truth, seem the great fish, and now anyone else who has not reached this acceptable level of fervor is, in their words, a loser. Perhaps the fish the author has seen is also not that great? Compared to the vastness of the ocean? And they just haven't seen one of the many even bigger fish yet? And then may someday realize that all fish look different to all people and some people have found their fish and it's different from your fish, it may even look not that great to you, but what matters is how it looks to the beholder.
What is the author even arguing for? Because it comes off as "care more".
Hope they checked their text messages
The median IQ of successive generations may absolutely be falling
You realize it wasn't always that way, right? And that whole we continue to optimize this complex supply chain, there are diminishing returns. If you roll back recent computing technology, many people die, but if you roll back the industrial revolution, modern civilization collapses.
Clearly written by someone who's never lived without steam power (semi tongue in cheek).
But seriously, your ability to expediently research just doesn't compare to the ability to ship a metric ton of freight across the country without marshalling an army of people for months on end. As one example.

It was not intended as such, which I think you agree with. My aim was to turn it on its head here and strengthen all of our understandings of both AI and CGI through their common characteristics.
Did you read the article? The man was sick
This question is a trap. Like programming languages. There's the products everybody hates and the ones nobody uses.
Reminds me of CGI in movies. People who hate CGI really only hate bad CGI.
Perhaps more importantly than any of those, often people react out of fear of what they think other people will think.
Maybe everyone bitches about gas prices, but we would all get over it pretty fast if politicians just pulled the band-aid off. Instead they use it as an opportunity to pull down any crab that tries to save us from the bucket.
No, it's a specific direction to look information up in docs or online rather than relying on model training.
If zebras cause blindness, perhaps you should consider zebras?
That song was made popular by Sublime. Not written and never performed by Bob Marley. Great track though!
In fairness, you could throw the most senior engineer into a brand new codebase, and they would probably make a dozen mistakes if you immediately had them pick up invasive and risky work.
I'm sure the finance market is much larger as well
The problem then is that if you're not using Fable/Mythos, you are under threat. It's like having a single gun manufacturer.
On this track, we're probably destined for a monopoly breakup before too long.
Not even. Tell the model to write a test of your code. There's your vulnerability.
It's explained better in the original source. I don't agree with it, but I understand it now, but I also think we need to move past it.
And it was the dumbest and least valuable stock traders that exited the industry. The industry is alive and well today.
Teaching is a lot like (a certain style of) management. You learn what motivates someone, make the connection between that and the subject matter at hand, and make it accessible for them to get to the next level. The rest takes care of itself.

This is not necessarily a functioning chip.
The whole thing runs on survivorship bias. And if you don't agree, just wait and see.
History bears out that cheap and satisficing soundly beats expensive and optimal every time. Until we have smarter and more prescient decision makers in leadership, the bottleneck on output will be the quality of decision making not the quality of code. Trying more things faster and cheaper will win.
