You can still have syntactically correct moves that are illegal.

Regardless of you think of him and his 'dumb' ideas, with 1.4 million subscribers he will probably inspire more people than work at your 'small space company' to become real rocket scientists themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if he does more for the future of space industry than most of those who currently work in it individually do.

With that said, if you find him irritating, then you find him irritating. Hard to argue with that.

It can filter out native search results as well, as long as you tell it what to filter out. It's of course a bit limited since you have to know beforehand what you don't want to see, but it works great if you're looking to, for example, filter out specific websites.

Definitely one of the greats. Among his less famous books, The Road to Wigan Pier stood out to me. Part one truly opened my eyes to what humans are capable of despite the most extreme conditions.

That seems like a trivial matter of fine-tuning the model so that it includes the link on those types of queries. For example, if you search for a website, I doubt it would be hard to have the AI infer that it's a website and include a link to it.

There will still be links, but I'm guessing it will be GPT saying: "Here's a link on the topic: ..." And if you still need more links, there will of course be a way to access the old search, but it won't be front and center.

People will use the phrase "Bing It" as a joke, but due to their increased use of Bing, they will say it so often that it soon won't be a joke.

Consequently, this is probably the beginning of a very abrupt end for traditional search.

That's great to hear. Hopefully your Korean colleagues will help bring awareness to this issue as well. I imagine it would probably be hard for politicians to ignore or argue against the consensus of the top minds of the country.

On a somewhat (un)related note: What has been the reception, if any, from the Korean side in regards to your research? I've lived in Korea on and off for around ten years, and their online 'security' has always both bothered and worried me. It's nice to see someone actually opening up this horrendous and intrusive mess of software and investigating it.

Yes, I 100% agree. I was sort of nitpicking about what kept your job safe since you seemed to imply that it was due to the shortcomings of Deepmind and ChatGPT. I argued that it is due to keeping your skill set updated, and, as you put it more elegantly than I did, the increased overall problem space.

I do, however, think there will be an inflection point in the coming decades, where the tools become more generalized and better at dealing with new problems. I might also add that the reason for this belief is simply that a lot of work is being put into making these type of generalized tools; but unlike Kurzweil, I don't quite believe it will lead to the Singularity. :)

Given that the amount of work to be done remains the same, new tools that increase the efficiency of workers will reduce the numbers of workers needed. Thus, even without machine learning, new tools make your position worth less and less; if nine people can do tomorrow what ten people can today, that is effectively a threat to your job. What keeps your job safe is a seemingly ever-increasing amount of work to be done where old tools can't be applied for increased efficiency (which is why most software engineers will have to keep their skill set constantly up-to-date). For how long will this be the case, though?

If that is the case, it sounds like companies then should put a lot more focus on formalities than ability and skill, considering how successful Elon's companies are and have been; success which turns very peculiar under those circumstances when you consider how engineering-oriented they are.

There is, of course, another possibility, which is that Elon does in fact put a lot of focus on ability and skill over formalities, but not in literally every single situation.

Which one do you think is more likely?

Of course not, but the point is that the lower the barrier to entry is, the greater the scammer-to-non-scammer ratio will be, as long as money is involved, or could be involved, either directly or indirectly.

97% of emails probably will though.

Thank you! Do with it whatever you like. :)

I think it all depends on whether you expect the deception to involve some degree of malice. While there are certainly malicious individual actors and institutions that we can point to and blame, this is on a systematic level in which the system itself is the scam, and with little distinction between the deceivers and the deceived; perpetuated by belief, and strengthened by competition and demand. It favors only the very few who either lucked out, e.g. by choosing a profitable degree, or those who figured out how to game the system, the opportunists; neither of whom designed the scam nor run it. In fact, it was never designed to be a scam. It's simply an aged system that now must be run as one in order to stay relevant and survive.

The deception is in the belief itself, and the government has a tremendous power to shatter it, yet they choose not to.

Many creators of educational content on Youtube already have paid content alongside their free. Except, the paid is currently hosted on other platforms like Udemy and Patreon. As long it's not an exclusive deal which forces them to only use YouTube, I don't really see that many problems with it. In the end, it will likely draw in more creators, which translates to more educational content, both free and paid, and hopefully better, as competition grows.

You could use a dotfiles manager like https://yadm.io/

It's more or less a wrapper of git, but it comes with a bunch of features that allow you to do the things you describe.

I don't think their target audience for this keyboard is people who care about the brand of switches. They are more or less marketing this as a 'premium office keyboard.'

They used to have a 512M droplet for $5. After a few years they upped it to 1G, and you could upgrade for free.

This was how I got rid of those recommendations that OP describes, until one day around two-three months ago when YouTube decided, for some reason, to ignore those actions completely. I had probably hidden well over 5k videos and channels over the years; now they are all back. No idea why. Trying to hide a video or a channel does nothing anymore for me.
