At least the internet had broad utility, just wasn't ready in 1999 to support e-commerce on that scale. It is now. I can't imagine a future where LLMs are similar. Even a theoretically perfect LLM is not like, actually knowledgeable.

She gets booed, regroups, then says "two years ago AI wasn't a part of our lives" and then gets cheered for it 🤣

Radio to television is generous, IMO. LLMs aren't a path to AGI or even particularly useful to most people.

Thanks I just assumed everyone on Lemmy donates to 404. Someone else posted the video in this community too. Pretty hilarious.

Thanks for clarifying!

I thought they invest any surplus into government debt securities?

Social security is a bad investment for an individual, but most people are terrible investors if they invest into their future at all. So by giving everyone that baseline, it helps out everyone else, including the rich. And is therefore a fantastic investment for everyone.

Hah! I've used that analogy before too!

This was an interesting article! While there is an argument to be made for an "AGI Manhattan project" I'm not convinced that companies like OpenAI or xAI will be of much value to a project like that at all. It would be like if the US government took over Joey's Really Big Stacks of Dynamite Emporium in the 1940's.

The idea of using LLMs for ideas is so sad to me. Isn't basically all of the fun of coming up with a new drink, the coming up with part?

This is a guess but I feel like it was around the time that most coding was done for things that weren't explicitly "programs", like web design CSS/Java and smartphone "apps".

That was actually super helpful, thank you.
