The argument here seems to be AI can’t become a mind as it does not experience. There is a counter argument though that the way we access our past experiences is via the neural pathways we lay down during those experiences and that with the new neural networks AIs now have we have given them those same pathways just in a different way.
At present I don’t think it is yet at the same point but when the AI can adjust those pathways, add more in compute time (infinite memory like tech) and is allowed to ‘think’ about those pathways then I can see it gaining our level or better of philosophical thought.
It could be news parsing, where it can turn news article text into data points that an investment model could imply market signals from.
Something similar could happen with transcripts of company investor calls, or any other text/audio companies put out. With the right prompt you can turn text into signals, the trick would be getting that prompt right (and prompt engineering to limit hallucinations as much as possible).
I’d recommend trying to build out your systems to work across LLMs where you can. Create an interface layer and for now maybe use OpenAI and Vertex as a couple of options. Vertex is handy as while not always as good you may find it works well for some tasks and it can be a lot cheaper for those.
If you build out this way then when the next greatest LLM comes out you can plug that into your interface and switch the tasks it’s best at over.
When the number of users you are serving goes up and the services each user uses increases due to age, then a balanced budget is in fact a cut in per user and especially per user service terms.
It depends on your use, you say you develop and so you likely have a number of tools that you rely on for your day to day productivity. While the new Arm processor may well be faster then the Intel it is going to cause incompatibilities for a while.
Going the Intel route now will give you a stable machine which still has a lot of performance (depending on what exactly you develop, web great, Linux kernel not so much ;o)
Getting the first Arm will lead to you spending time dealing with first adopter bugs and learning new tooling due to your existing stack having incompatibilities.
Unless you are compiling massive projects then your best bet will likely be a 3900x. You get more cores then you can likely use to handle all the programming multitasking while also having a cpu that’s 5-10% off of the best gaming cpu available. All while keeping within a reasonable budget.
YouTube are actually adding some tech to help with this. In future when making a claim you have to add the timestamps in the video where the copyright occurs. Then the creator will get that info as well as a few simple quick-fix options to cut out that portion of the video or replace it.
It's long overdue but they do seem to be making some strides to help creators at last.
