No one was interested in further research.

edit: I see some research is now happening.

To clarify, I think the line between user and LLM contributions will get increasingly blurry. If they are constructive contributions it shouldn't make a difference.

Say I have an LLM check an article with some proof reading prompt and it suggests 50 small changes that look constructive to me. Should I modify the article now?

It is not even required to know any of the rules or guidelines and they are just articles that you can edit.

It's rather fascinating actually.

If things are judged by their creator you are left with nothing to judge the creator by. If you do it by their work the process becomes circular. Some will always be wrong, some always right, regardless what they say.

I didn't write it, I don't agree with it but this is how it is.

For example: http://fototour.blogspot.com

The internet is full of terrible experiences with companies. Even without much exposure someone working for the company might be curious what the hell is going on.

The implementation leaves much to be desired but the EU actually requires reviews from real customers. Or more specific, you cant publish a review if you cant prove it is from a real customer.

Maybe something like https://example.com/accounts/HASH and https://example.com/accounts/transaction/HASH

Then let the [banned] user pick which items from the account or transaction they want on public display.

Platforms can submit postings and reviews to the profile and the user can be prompted to confirm them and publish them in public if they want.

It seems a lot of overhead but bad reviews as a service is a thing and quite harmful.

Now imagine an entire economy working like that. Like say, LLM's are good enough to run entire companies but you don't get to run a company because you are good at it. LLM's can perfectly manage employee schedules but the real job is more like marriage counseling or group therapy. Somewhere along the road we forgot which jobs make the economy go. They are probably the ones with the lowest salaries as those lack the effort of conjuring the job into existence.

Humanity needs obvious things cloths, food, housing, transportation etc but that isn't where the money is. The people cooking the books have the money and they are looking for something like a book cooking book. The market for openAI will be in lying convincingly for the benefit of the investor. Reality must be auctioned off like domain names or search engine placements. Altman is really the perfect guy for the job no one wants. ha-ha

Alternatively we could humble ourselves, ask the Chinese how reality works and attempt to steal their fu. It's just a thought.

You can do maintenance collectively and do it cheaply if everyone has the same system. I've somewhat explored some of these (in isolation ofc) and it's certainly fun to think about and interesting to see what has been done/tried.

We've actually been here before with higher languages. Assembly is actually a higher language, performance is much worse than machine code. It cant really self modify or do code generation. To squeeze all of the wine from the rock you do need 100 times more effort. C is luxurious compared to assembly. Python is even more productive. We don't use html/css/javascript because it is so fast, it's gawd aweful slow. I can however get something up and available to the world in less than a minute.

Then we pretend to be optimizing our websites for performance but we have no idea what code is triggered by our instructions. If the button responds in 0.2 seconds we are good. You know, the time it takes for the cpu to do 1-2 trillion instructions?

We already are MBA's!

They explained that some games were rigged but still had to give [big] prizes to someone to keep the show going. Some would organize events and send their big players on trips.

Like an open secret no one talked about. The system is this: For a good while keep depositing more money into the account than spend and leave all the winnings. If they are cheating such account will win incremental amounts. Cheating or not they need to show their players are real people periodically so they organize VIP events and send the top players.

When asked if their winnings were real they examine the poker faces around them for a while until one said that it was irrelevant. I wont cash out either way!

It's all thanks to Microsoft, without them it wouldn't be possible. They showed the world what office software can do and that ultimately it is their software and they get to decide how it works. (..or should that be if it works?)

edit:google deserves some credit too of course

> "Ideas are cheap - execution is hard"

I would argue this mantra says more about the person repeating it. It simply means the person has no good ideas and is bad at execution.

I've not met many but I'm sure there are many out there who are scary good at execution. Something like 1% transpiration, 99% experience. I can have a designer do a 100 euro design, hire someone to write nice code, rent a factory or an office, I might even be able to buy the machines at a good price. What I cant do is spin the rolodex and (in 20 minutes) land enough clients who would absolutely love to work with me again. I cant find those private meetings and wouldn't be able to extend my reputation with the new project.

People with good ideas don't talk about them unless it is required. They don't talk with "ideas are cheap" people, it's pearls for pigs. You can spot some of them if they did bursts of multiple unrelated complex patents. My favorite are the rube Goldberg type of machines that combine well known things in ways that exceed the sum of the parts. Something like step 5 uses the vibrations from step 1 while step 3 uses the heat from step 6.

To have good ideas you need many of them but you also need to know execution or you end up thinking the easy stuff is hard and the hard stuff is easy. Improvement is unlikely from there.

They are now working on the sunswift 8 which is to be a combination of solar battery and hydrogen.

They are not calling it a solar car anymore apparently.

https://www.unsw.edu.au/challeng/vertically-integrated-proje...

Pure solar is indeed to much of a constraint, it make it more challenging than propelling humans over roads in an enclosure needs to be.

A big problem is sharing the road with conventional vehicles. Many could probably drive straight though it, a Tesla could probably drive straight though it.

If the car must be a strong metal container the choices quickly reduce to the things on the market right now.

I just see an article about migrants destroying things in Britain. Not to excuse the behavior but I wondered where they came from. It turned out to be shit countries fostering that behavior. Why are they shit? Have they always been like that? Well no, the British empire destroyed them. You could think that it's to long ago but they also continue to enjoy spoils. I offer no solutions. The point was that a sensationalist article wouldn't go there because the reader doesn't want to know.
