i think in the long term the problem is going to be this: a great small model always come from a greater large model, but the larger base model keep getting larger and more closed sourced

so long as there's no algorithm breakthrough

"Turn three: the company that fired its workers to save money discovers that its customers were, in aggregate, other companies’ workers."

as AI become more agentic i think this will be gradually replaced by AI buying stuff from other AI...

either people + AI is better so people just merge with AI or pure AI is better and AI takes over

either ai closes the loop which is unlikely or ai is not good and a small group of people manage to resist the urge to talk to it and take over everyone that does eventually

i feel like we are using ai to solve virus detection in many cases, and in theory this is the same complexity as the halting problem.

evolutionary search is better than hard coded algorithms at finding solutions to np problems and this is similar to that. ai will be better security engineers than humans.

iirc, the official story from the mainland was that during around 1957 in order to boost literacy the govt simplified the characters, something like that...

today i learnt

reading this my privacy anxiety goes up again but then realizing the brainwave decoder / transcriber study was out at least 6 months ago...so this is acutally good. maybe.

need new privacy technology though. probably a combination of tinfoil hats, biotech, and advanced cryptographic algorithms. i believe those will be made cheap enough when the time comes.

also its hard to replicate. like for reddit there's a lot of alternatives cause it's mainly texts but youtube videos require datacenters which are very expensive. perhaps some kind of distributed video storage? but seems hard.
