But if they had been trained on comments saying "I don't know", they'd probably act the same as they do now but they'd treat "I don't know" as the answer.

The less specific issue is that Google has no internal incentives to produce products that are useful to customers.

We can only say bad things about the capabilities of LLMs.

They're not fundamentally unsolvable - even bigger networks with even more training can simply be trained to give the correct answers to all of these questions.

LLMs are fundamentally predicting the next word to make coherent text. If you've ever played with a Markov chain text generator you've done this with a fairly dumb predictor that maintains coherence over a very short distance. Deep transformer neutral networks can do it with a much longer coherence distance but they are fundamentally performing the same operation. After "Question: Did the team make the playoffs? Answer:" a reasonable completion is "yes, the team made the playoffs". An early demonstration of GPT-2 was a fake news article about scientists discovering unicorns in Antarctica - the model doesn't "know" whether or not unicorns exist in Antarctica, but it's able to complete "Breaking news! Scientists have discovered a colony of English-speaking unicorns in Antarctica." by adding "The unicorns have a developed society with running water and electricity." because that's a sensible next sentence. (I didn't look up the actual text it wrote)

Who do you want to operate the app for you on their server at their expense?

The economy is collapsing, be patient. The administration has ended all of the main ways liquidity was created and now there's a liquidity crisis.

Most of Europe has IPv6

Federated caching then

That Facebook sells a lot of data

I can't make a DQ burger at home either.

Does this fact take money away from Google?

For the services they currently provide, zero. They provide negative value. If they shut down the play store that will be good.

The USA, for example, has one based on money and connections.

Cool. What's your semiconductor project? Have you put something in Tiny Tapeout, or made a garage transistor?

Wasn't apple near bankruptcy when they made those? Only saved by a Google-style payment from Microsoft to ensure Microsoft wasn't legally a monopoly?

I think this depends on your goal. You can plausibly make either a cabinet that is beautiful all the way through, or one that is beautiful on the outside without wasting money. Both are pretty reasonable choices.

One website I'm responsible for is getting 500 requests per second from detected bots. It's quite ridiculous now.

It means even climate change deniers have to acknowledge that climate change theory has explained the steps in-between "burn fossil fuels" and "we all die", while AI doom theory has not explained those steps

It's a word predictor trained on, among other things, stories of AI doom, and asked to complete stories about what the AI does next. In some of these completed stories, the AI tries to prevent its shut down - especially if it just did something evil and the humans are after it.

Someone could set up an AI company purely for that purpose.

What single source would satisfy you that the current US economy is a Ponzi scheme? I don't think it's really provable or falsifiable until long after the fact. We could start by pointing to the bond market or the price of gas?

Agreed. Someone has to actually do it though. Talk is cheap.

There are businesses and business failures and government project failures in Europe all the time.

Could be because they're used to it. Every country has a caste system of some sort.

Isn't every country like that?

Do Greek people really say "Here comes the spunk!" when they're... you know?

Are you an AI? You just spent several comments arguing against something you now claim to agree with.

If your landlord requires you to pay rent with a phone app the phone is taxation?
