<p>normally i'd agree, for "most people"<p>but the author explicitly distinguished between "AI" and "LLM-based AI", and they work for an AI company, where making these distinctions are really important</p>

<p>> I’ve heard from smart, well-informed people who are confident that AI is a few years away from superintelligence, and that superintelligence will be capable of truly terrifying things. And I’ve heard from smart, well-informed people who are equally confident that LLM-based AI is close to a ceiling, that models like Claude won’t even be able to do impressive work in physics, let alone conquer the world.<p>This is framed as an "or", as if they're contradictory.<p>IMO, Both of these statements are true.</p>

<p>> Since it never got past internal demo<p>it was a joint venture with novell and caldera employees had exposure to the resources, a year or so after the project fell apart.<p>> just didn’t think there would be enough copies of it to not get lost very quickly<p>a lot more people had exposure to it than you'd think. it sounds very interesting to us, but honestly, it was probably pretty obvious to everyone involved that it was a bad idea unless apple was serious about dropping ppc</p>

<p>I wouldn't be so pessimistic.<p>There are a few copies of late shell builds floating around in private collections that have release predicated on the end of someone's legal liability (shall we euphemistically say). I don't know about complete system images, though.<p>And those guys are all getting up there in years.</p>

<p>there was a common "shock site" called "last measure" that did this. it loaded all sorts of offensive images, blasted a loop of a guy yelling something offensive about pornography, and then proceded to lock up your machine.</p>

<p>Personally, I just think that LLMs are an artificial line to draw based on current personal preference.<p>I'm not an AI maximalist, but I really can't see the issue with using it to preserve this hardware (especially into RTL for FPGA), if it's highly accurate.<p>These machines are dying in real time, and having cycle and operationally accurate emulation options is more important than the bad taste the Glorified Copymachine leaves in my mouth, to be honest.<p>Honestly, by quantity alone, I've seen more impressive and quality reverse-engineering and documentation work of these platforms done in the last year than i have in the last 20.</p>

<p>> Understatement of the year.<p>Normally yes. For VPK, actually, no.<p>The file format that we're describing was part of a proprietary embedded SDK for the PS2. The majority of professional integrations would be using the Sony SDK.<p>Today, a lot of tooling uses FFMPEG for accessibility of those formats. But I wouldn't say it's the majority.<p>Hence why I said "(studios)" after offices, and "probably" and not "majorly":<p>> probably being used in a lot of offices (studios)</p>
