I don't know if any social media platform could survive charging even as low as 1 dollar per year. Even if they somehow end up net positive in money, there won't be enough people using the new platform for it to become the platform most normal people use.
Even if some countries were to ban or heavily restrict AI tech, others will not.
Also, I'm convinced any country that heavily restricts its use will just be using their own at a federal level. All this untagged data that's collected from us through surveillance is pretty valuable. If AI could help a government find a serial killer would they use it? If AI could help a government positively identify a revolution would they use it?
I think people would be surprised at how little hard drive space some models take up when you compare it to what they can produce. You can store LLMs on your phone. Cat's out of the bag.
And despite any restrictions we try to make, there will be a company with great GPUs or TPUs that will be able to fine tune giant models without anyone knowing.
Why though? If she already knows how to use something, the hurdle of having to deal with her complaints when something is slightly different will make everyone lose.
Yes, but it's such a falsifiable claim that anyone is more than welcome to prove them wrong. There's a lot of slightly different LLMs out there. If you or anyone else can definitively show there's a machine that can identify AI writing vs human writing, it will either result in better AI writing or it would be an amazing breakthrough in understanding the limits of AI.
I started listening to A Song of Ice and Fire audiobooks while doing yardwork. It's a lot more passive than reading a book, but you get most of the same information.
Only criticisms, it's not as obvious when someone is talking without seeing quotation marks and there's some clever wordplay you might miss out on.
Example: I thought A Clash of Kings was saying Stannis's banner had a hart (male deer)instead of a stag and I didn't get what the distinction was. Obviously, it turned out they were referring to a heart.
The problem is the world is huge and even if 1% of people agree, that's a lot of people who feel like they finally found a community that welcomes them. Satire doesn't work so well if you don't know the people you're interacting with.
If you liked Smallville, Superman and Lois is pretty good. There's a lot less of that X-files junior stuff.
I think Superman and Lois's biggest problem is their lengthy mid season hiatuses. The show airs weekly. After the first 5 episodes there was a huge pause before they released more episodes. I assume it was because they had to spend a lot of time doing vfx for episodes in the pipeline.
All that being said, this doesn't affect you because you can see the first 3 seasons online now.
Google immediately jumped ahead in search when it started by having a simple webpage and using PageRank. This was a while before there were even Gmail accounts and all the tracking we're given now.
At this point I'd settle for a search company that doesn't care to track you, uses general (not specific) predictive search, implements Boolean search, and isn't diminished in quality by SEO.
That last criterion is the hardest one. It might not even be feasible.
They're really casual with that word "buffer." They admit that they always have a copy of you on file just in case. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but when the TNG crew were turned into kids, the transporter folks were like "hey, why don't we just use the old bodies that we have saved in the buffer?"
Side note: if you can do that and retain your memories, by their rules haven't they invented an immortality machine?
