They are still focusing on "catastrophic risks" related to chemical and biological weapons production; or misaligned models wreaking havoc.

But they are not addressing the elephant in the room:

* Political risks, such as dictators using AI to implement opressive bureaucracy. * Socio-economic risks, such as mass unemployement.

And I hope we will eventually reach a point where models become "good enough" for certain tasks, and we won't have to replace them every 6 months.

(That would be similar to the evolution of other technologies like personal computers and smartphones.)

Didn't we make subtle mistakes without AI?

Why did we spend so much time debugging and doing code reviews?

> Are you really being more productive (let’s say 3x times more)

At least 2x more productive, and that's huge.

Suppose you get out of your comfort zone to do something entirely new; AI will be much more helpful for you than it is for people who spent years developing their skills.

AI is the great equalizer.

He doesn't seem to care if the DoW uses his AI for international spying.

That's one more reason why Europe needs sovereign tech.

My only question about this entire essay is... where did this time traveler came from???

"Our" time traveler was never mentioned until this line.

Talas promises a 10x higher throughtput, being 10x cheaper and using 10x less electricity.

Looks like a good value proposition.

They definitely failed big this time.

But the US is a f*cking dystopia at this point.

How come the richest country of the world - the model of capitalism - allows so many of their citizens go homeless?

It's mindblowing.

Yes, it was easier. But it dumbed down a generation of developers.

It took them two decades to try to come up with Powershell, but it was too late.

100% this.

It might be convenient to hide information from non-technical users; but software engineers need to know what is happening. If it is not visible by default, it should be configurable via dotfiles.

Software developers like customizable tools.

That's why IDEs still have "vim keybindings" and many other options.

Your user is highly skilled - let him decide what he wants to see.

Make the application configurable. Developers like to tinker with their tools.

There was no problem with the token per se, but the fact it was like a strange attractor in multidimensional space, disconnected from any useful information.

When the LLM was induced to use it in its output, the next predicted token would be random gibberish.

Thus, the not-so-easy-but-arguably-better solution would be to self-host an open source S3-compatible object storage solution.

Are there any good open source alternatives to S3?
