Well, why don’t you argue with the guy who spearheaded the backpropagation algorithm, spends his whole day thinking about it and who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, rather than me? I’m not saying some fanciful notion that isn’t supported by evidence. If they just predict text, how can they solve riddles theyve never encountered in their training materials? Are you claiming the logic solution is just text statistics?
Was our run really that good? We killed a bunch of species, drained our planet of resources and belched pollution into the air. I wouldn’t be surprised if the AIs manage to steward our planet better.
100% this. We fucking know what the solution is. AI will reach the same conclusion as we have; decarbonise everything. It’s the implementation that’s hard, not the idea.
But the people employed to create content on all the websites and YouTube channels you use regularly care quite a great deal about advertisement or they’d have to do something else for a living.
Microsoft may not have that cash at that jurisdiction; any big company with tonnes of cash still often take out loans because it’s cheaper to pay it back that move cash from one jurisdiction than another. If the nuclear power company defaults and Microsoft backs the loan, I’m still guessing Microsoft pays back the loan.
What do you mean when you ask “how much money will Microsoft make out of this?” If they’re taking a risk, in the way our economy is currently organised, they stand to lose and they stand to gain. You do realise most nuclear power stations were state guaranteed private companies right? Are you against the nuclear industry, the way we organise our economy, or Microsoft’s actions specifically?
The risk of nuclear is tiny, but real. That’s the way with all nuclear companies. Why should who runs the plant influence the form in which we support any clean up required if the most terrible thing happens (ps: It won’t, but that’s another matter and one I’m sure you’ll want to debate endlessly about too)?
Firefox is getting so small it’s starting to disappear out of the testing matrix. Confluence has issues with it, you can’t always log into Vanguard on Firefox, many news website layouts have overlapping elements on Firefox, quite a few shopping websites too (H&M in Europe has a long-standing but with putting stuff in the shopping basket until they revamped their website a couple of months ago). Etc etc. I see it ALL the time.
I don’t know if it’s the CEO, the board or the wider leadership team but I agree they haven’t been laser focused on building a better browser and that isn’t good enough.
But that isn’t the balance that’s being struck. Mozilla is trying to balance between useful services being available for free and people’s right to privacy. If you’re using any websites that has staff employed, they’re more likely than not being paid for by advertising.
You wouldn’t add AI to a hand bag?!
You wouldn’t add AI to a car?!
You wouldn’t add AI to a baby?!
You wouldn’t shoot a police man?!
… and then steal his helmet?!
… and then add AI to it?!
... and once you're used to it, you'll realise how much easier that is :)
