The approach of LLMs without some sort of symbolic reasoning layer aren’t actually able to hold a model of what their context is and their relationships. They predict the next token, but fall apart when you change the numbers in a problem or add some negation to the prompt.

Awesome for protein research, summarization, speech recognition, speech generation, deep fakes, spam creation, RAG document summary, brainstorming, content classification, etc. I don’t even think we’ve found all the patterns they’d be great at predicting.

There are tons of great uses, but just throwing more data, memory, compute, and power at transformers is likely to hit a wall without new models. All the AGI hype is a bit overblown. That’s not from me that’s Noam Chomsky https://youtu.be/axuGfh4UR9Q?t=9271.

“Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice Is what you want” -Devo

Maybe they mean a real one with fMRI. Or maybe just signaling to China that their assets get interviewed for life.

$13B is 7% of Apple’s annual profit in 2022. Not a rounding error. Somebody has to settle for golden yachts instead of platinum next year.

Don’t bet on it. Nobody wants 2016 part 2. “ahh it’s fine I don’t need to vote for Harris, she’s got this.” Bull fucking shit! Don’t even encourage that line of thought. These assholes will vote for Dump and “hold their nose” while doing it.

This is the perfect approach. He can’t play it without donating to Harris out of his campaign funds. That will actually make him stop.

John Wayne toilet paper. Rough, tough, and doesn’t take shit off of anyone.

You saying they might have an unexpected dangling pointer?

They’re also adding a lot more incompatible text formatting and shit to keep Android incomplete with their real chat protocol. Gotta keep those teens bullying Android users. Also E2E encryption would be nice, but the EU didn’t force them to do that.

Still great because MMS is garbage and ruins photo and video quality.

Experts believe the SEC faces significant challenges if it proceeds with fraud charges. “Courts typically prefer fraud cases that involve clear false statements,” said Fagel. “Transforming a regulatory violation into fraud, especially one involving delayed disclosure, can be an uphill battle.”

James Park, a securities law expert at UCLA, added, “Regulators could potentially frame this as a case of market deception, which complicates matters compared to straightforward falsehoods. It’s a nuanced issue but significant enough to warrant serious consideration.”

The biggest thing in their favor is a firefighters pension that sold at a lower than expected price if he had made the disclosure. They’re not wrong, but it’s a lie of omission type thing. We’ll see if it flies over the next 5 years of appeals and shenanigans. Meanwhile he wrote himself a check on Tesla stockholders dime to cover the Twitter fuck up. I’m betting he fucks them over as Tesla spirals into a crater.

If we’re talking about the neural lace from the Culture Sci-Fi series, hell yeah. It’s all nanotech that could be installed and removed in a non-invasive way. You get a lot more control over your body, enhanced cognition, mental backups so you’re really hard to kill permanently, comms, all the knowledge, VR more real than reality, control a robot as an extension of your body, etc.

They were still vulnerable to remote takeover in extreme and unusual situations. I think an EMP like thing would switch them off.

Realistically would I let somebody put something running binaries written in C and ad supported apps in my head? Not happening.

For reference.

Three midday photos of the major city and there are maybe 10 cars or buses visible between them.

Not a ton more detail, but it sounds like a kid has a visible gun that some students reported seeing. Then they tried to enter the school, but the school had a video doorbell/door buzzer type setup. There were five or so shots in quick succession that must’ve included officers.

Have to wait on more info, but it sounds like at worst they failed to deescalate. At best they showed up and the kid started shooting and they returned fire.

No innocent kids died, so that’s a win in my book.
