"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'd be pretty certain that if any of these has "paused" its just because research reached its limits and is waiting for the next big development that enables it to continue.
Also "recombinant DNA experiments"??? What in the world is meant by that?
I think this is what they mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_DNA#Controversy
I read the article in french and it seems they use it with insuline and EPO ? I also think this argument is slippery, these technologies are more in a "pause mode" no ?
TIL, thanks! I agree that this is a fitting example then.
I read through it and it seems that mostly they were unsure about the security so they placed a moratorium on it until they could figure out if it was, and it was deemed not dangerous.
