If that’s the sole source and the application does thoughtful analysis it could determine that there are sections of the room that are better than others, yes
AI dungeon, a gpt2 product on iOS. Had almost no context, no memory, but could generate endless slop story. It was the first time I’d seen something like that, and the wild implications felt clear. I wasn’t aware at the time how immense the computational needs were to run the tech as it grew and the social implications, but just couldn’t believe that something like the MUDs I’d played in the late 80s early 90s could be autogenerated in a way now.

This is because a broad spectrum antibiotic with low resistance is an essential public good that will likely rapidly be made generic by either legal action or international disregard for copyright law. So no major pharma companies will want to invest resources into the development of something like this, and governments are not under the gun enough to produce new abx to invest the billions needed to get it through the approval process. The compromise is to leave it sitting at this phase until some disaster creates enough public incentive to socialize the completion of its development.
The very clear and succinct description on the landing page makes me miss the bizarre antisocial charming quirk that people who made things like this used to be stuck with for their copy rather than AI generated language. Our cacophony of experience is quieting.
If a catastrophic failure occurs we will have to return to first principles and re-derive the solutions. Not so bad, probably enlivening even to get to spin up the mind again after a break.

It’s not meaningless; it’s a way for them to immediately prove that the person speaking has been intimidated enough by them to acquiesce to this absurdity. If they don’t, they can be punished just for refusing. If they do, they’re already back on their heels proving their willingness to cave on anything else.
No, the major healthcare employers are trying to adjust their staff sizes immediately to avoid later crisis caused by this draconian hack and slash approach to federal funding.
