The problem is that the people telling us about these things are the same people that benefit from their model (and AI generally) being used, getting publicity, etc.
I think we desperately need some independent group to evaluate claims like this or the world-ending Mythos cybersecurity risk and tell us what’s going on.
I’m pretty sure that is exactly what your role is to the companies in the content business
You could imagine that this wasn’t the case, right? Or you could imagine that investing in it for those people who do want it might improve your own life (e.g. by reducing traffic) not to mention society as a whole?
Yes, exactly. Because if you’d paid that penny for a server on the regular internet you would just link to the real site
But you could imagine a country that invested, in addition to roads, cars, and oil, in public transportation, cities that you can get around on foot, and in renewable energy. Such a country might be better off that the US is now.
I wonder if the fact that you linked to clear web source code links rather than onion links demonstrates why people might pay the penny…
Are you suggesting that in fact we have not entered any new wars in recent history?
Why is that better? Because you read about it in a sci fi book?
I personally am _not_ used to seeing the sun after sunset and before sunrise.
Sure, but the comment I am responding to is arguing that there is a way around pressures towards a traceable token, so you can prosecute the person sharing their credentials. This is not the case.
How so?
If the smart cards required some human input to perform a signature maybe this could work. Otherwise there is nothing stopping someone from selling use of their card via some proxy software
This doesn’t stop the scheme the parent proposes, where adults install some proxy on their device and challenges are responded to on the parent device. Then the private key never leaves the parent device and all the child device has is the proxy software, which could be set up to not log any identifier of the key that it used
Books?
Does this private data come from places like Reddit, Twitter, etc., where it’s contributed by users? I think it is unethical for these companies to accept payment for user-contributed data.
Do you wish you had time to learn about them? Or do you wish you just knew them? Having them uploaded to your brain might make you know about them, but is much different from having time to learn them. This is important if for you, like for me, learning itself is a large part of the enjoyment
I wish the option was just “yes I know this word” or “no I don’t”. Reading the definitions takes too long for so many words
Definitely, I’m not saying that AI can entirely replace humans. But AI is definitely replacing parts of many jobs. If AI companies raise their rates to be profitable, and it turns out that paying for profitable AI is not worth it vs paying for humans, that might be a sticky situation.
People use AI because it is cheaper than paying humans to think. Soon you won’t really be able to find human thinkers.
You’re clearly referring to something specific, what is it?
The value of water to a person dying from dehydration is infinite compared to someone who's adequately hydrated.
But most people are adequately hydrated in steady state, and to them the value of water is not that high. Since today it is necessary to sell an item for the same price to everyone, selling water for infinite money would lose nearly all customers.
(Not to mention that it’s possible to acquire water from natural sources, for free)
Realistically though, if there are some humans left, they are going to want to live in a society. Humans are fundamentally social and I think the people in charge would eventually realize this. But then again rich people are not normal, so maybe not
The marginal cost of all of those is definitely much lower than for Codex, though
Opus in January was right about when AI became actually useful for coding for me. So if that’s the case, that is absolutely great.
That assumes that the agent knows which one is better. And to bake in which one is better via post-training would require a study like this to establish where each one works well
Well.. it’s not the furthest thing from the truth in the bay
Sorry I didn’t mean you specifically, rather you as an English speaker
And long hours!
Hm, I didn’t even consider that it could be an “agent” in the AI sense. I assumed this meant a service that runs on the device and interposes on requests to access privileged resources and enforces permissions checks on them. That is, the classical sense of the word agent in computing. Perhaps you’re right; in any case I don’t think there is really enough detail here to go off of.
