BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.
The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.
The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.
Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.
Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.
@GaryMarcus no he's kinda right; and I remember arguing with you about AI years ago. Looking at your posts now: I can just tell you don't believe in God.
a model is not a database. it's an archive; like a .zip file. and prompts don't query a result set; they lossy decompress the archive. the answer isn't searched; it's generated. the complete opposite of what you are saying is true.
I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at.
LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done.
They are the EXHAUST of humanity.
Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA.
It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.
@BenjaminPDixon@jimstewartson it is exactly the opposite. really embarrassing post by OP.
instead of "database "maybe we should call it an archive. and the prompt decompresses from that compressed archive. not a query result at all, but a generated lossy answer.
