Yet we still don't have level-5 self-driving cars, and certainly not self-serving cars that can learn to drive in a few hours of practice like any teenager.
We don't even have domestic robots that can do what 10-year olds can do the first time we ask them.
We don't even have robots that are nearly as smart as a house cat.
The G in AGI is nonsense.

@vxunderground "GDID (Goyim Device ID) was developed at Microsoft’s R&D Center in Herzliya, Israel, by former Unit 8200 and Talpiot program alumni and is intended for a range of governmental objectives, including surveillance, data aggregation, and strategic intelligence operations."

Chat, I don't want to sound like a schizo, but it sure is STRANGE how much data Microsoft collects with it's telemetry functionality. It's very odd Microsoft documents and records all of your web browser activity, and gaming, and can tie it to your social media, so they can improve your "Windows Experience".

using closed source model and building around it for security is like giving the theif the keys hoping he wont break in

“Enterprises are at risk of transferring their knowledge, their know how, their trade secrets or customer data to these model providers who might eventually decide to compete with them. You can see that enterprises are waking up to this threat and they're not happy about it.”

In the future, frontier models will mostly all be given away by the chip and hardware makers. It makes their hardware more useful and drives sales. We will do it if others don't.

# on shortification of "learning"

There are a lot of videos on YouTube/TikTok etc. that give the appearance of education, but if you look closely they are really just entertainment. This is very convenient for everyone involved : the people watching enjoy thinking they are learning (but actually they are just having fun). The people creating this content also enjoy it because fun has a much larger audience, fame and revenue. But as far as learning goes, this is a trap. This content is an epsilon away from watching the Bachelorette. It's like snacking on those "Garden Veggie Straws", which feel like you're eating healthy vegetables until you look at the ingredients.

Learning is not supposed to be fun. It doesn't have to be actively not fun either, but the primary feeling should be that of effort. It should look a lot less like that "10 minute full body" workout from your local digital media creator and a lot more like a serious session at the gym. You want the mental equivalent of sweating. It's not that the quickie doesn't do anything, it's just that it is wildly suboptimal if you actually care to learn.

I find it helpful to explicitly declare your intent up front as a sharp, binary variable in your mind. If you are consuming content: are you trying to be entertained or are you trying to learn? And if you are creating content: are you trying to entertain or are you trying to teach? You'll go down a different path in each case. Attempts to seek the stuff in between actually clamp to zero.

So for those who actually want to learn. Unless you are trying to learn something narrow and specific, close those tabs with quick blog posts. Close those tabs of "Learn XYZ in 10 minutes". Consider the opportunity cost of snacking and seek the meal - the textbooks, docs, papers, manuals, longform. Allocate a 4 hour window. Don't just read, take notes, re-read, re-phrase, process, manipulate, learn.

And for those actually trying to educate, please consider writing/recording longform, designed for someone to get "sweaty", especially in today's era of quantity over quality. Give someone a real workout. This is what I aspire to in my own educational work too. My audience will decrease. The ones that remain might not even like it. But at least we'll learn something.

Increasingly fully convinced that Dario is just full of sh*t.

[code46ash @code46ash]

He is EVIL.

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

Dario told the Senate in 2023 that “the scaling of open-source models” was going down “a very dangerous path.”

in other words: open weight models are fine until they get good enough to threaten the closed-model business, then they become a matter of national security.

I can't believe how many people believe Anthropic's propaganda about distillation attacks. You can read how GLM-5 was trained in the paper.

Maybe Claude was distilled from Chinese models? I haven't seen a paper from Anthropic, and accusations are often confessions.
