Since when has intelligence had a strong relationship to status and respectability? I've met intelligent people that don't get much respect or status either because they don't look good, are shy or they don't have money.
True, but the relationship is certainly not linear and not a Markov process. Also, the $$$ a company makes are rarely directly translated to incentives for developers. I remember a case where a company was doing an OK engineering/product job, but had problems with sales. Then a new sales driven CEO came into place and for the next 3-5 years the company had great financial results, while at the same time eroding the engineering culture (who cares if money is flowing anyway). Then that guy left and the next CEOs had to take care of the mess.
How come? the github page says the license is MIT.
I kind of agree with you at this point. When ChatGPT was rapidly gaining popularity I thought that they will eventually replace search (esp. for shopping), which would have given them a huge ad revenue. Maybe they could have even tried social networking e.g., to help you sort out the huge flow of information that today's social networks are and get to the important/rewarding/whatever posts. But now ChatGPT is kind of getting commoditized. I would even dare say that gemini feels to me a bit better now, so the search route for ChatGPT is clearly gone.
Yes, I can imaging that a robot chef holding a knife improperly is already dangerous enough even if it does not move (e.g., what if you trip and fall against the pointed knife)
Cool! Does anyone have a list of challenges that must be tackled before such humanoid robots become usable for tasks such as household chores, cooking etc?
It looks like the stance of FSF is for proliferation of the copyleft to trained LLMs
"Therefore, we urge Anthropic and other LLM developers that train models using huge datasets downloaded from the Internet to provide these LLMs to their users in freedom"
In Azimov's Robot series the society that chose to live with robots gradually destructed itself by just living longer and not having so many children. The other part of humanity that avoided robots flourished (not without suffering). But that all required new planets for settlement (I am looking at you Elon).

Apprenticeship. You will have to prove to the company that working at a minimal wage is still beneficial. Or we can take it even further, you will have to pay the company for getting the necessary experience. Maybe you sign a 5 year contract with a big cancellation fee. It is not unheard of. I remember some of the navy schools having something like this. You study for 5 years for free (bed and food are paid by the school) and then you have to work for at least 5 years for the navy or pay a very big fine if you refuse to do so.
30+ minutes is a gross underestimation IMHO. It is probably somewhere in the range 1:10, 10:100, especially if you include the cost of context switches a senior has to do. In my experience, the loss of flow, due to context switch is very prominent and sometimes painful.
someone still will, but quality will become really expensive
Then there will be no one to buy the robots :)
I wonder why did they release it then.
Unless you can provide a (community) curated list of sources to search through (e.g. using MCP). Then I think local models may become really competitive.
You are completely right about the polyphonic expressivity of piano. What I lack is the intonation (bending) of tone.
This is very interesting! I can't wait to run it on some of my own compositions...
This is so cool and also MPL licensed! Thanks!
Discrimination could be very hard to prove in practice.
I do care. Please, give me a couple of such good recruiters if you know them.
If your agent could go read all of the patents and then avoid them in its implementations and/or tell you where you might be infringing them (without hallucinating), that would be valuable.
That would lead the whole society to a halt, because it feels impossible to do anything now without violating someone's patent. Patents quite often put small players at a disadvantage, because the whole process of issuing patents is slow, expensive and unpredictable. Also, I once heard a lawyer say that, in high-stake lawsuits the it is the pile (of patents) that matters.
Same experience too. Even in some cases the AI was harmful, leading me into rabbit holes that did not pay off, but lost a whole day trying out.
Computers and tyranny do not necessarily go hand in hand.
... but the latter may greatly benefit from the former
If I can only go back in time to 2007 :)
In the beginning of my career, I've been once told by my senior management that I should never again:
1. Optimize things so that they work 10 000 times faster because it makes us look incompetent (must be done slowly to show gradual progress).
2. Brag about such optimization (to stakeholders) without first synchronizing this with them (so they can brag proportionally to their pay rate :) ).
This was one of the coolest job ads that I've ever read :). Congrats for what you have done with your infrastructure, team and product!
Perception changes with every next generation. For the last 8 years, I've been teaching at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at our University. One of the courses that I lead is IoT, where students get to program on bare metal (embedded) systems. I noticed that newer (cloud) generations have a harder time accepting the constraints of embedded hardware and living with them.
Kudos for your company and job description! Your stack and approach look very straightforward and refreshing. The only thing that kind of put me off was the on-site in Tanzania :) (I am sensitive to the risk of contracting malaria).
Indeed, but many people were led to believe so.
If it is Windows, then you and I are going to test it :)
