It seems very likely that AI will ultimately be under government control. To me, this is the nightmare we are all afraid of. And Dario's essay subtlety confirms this.

Sorely, sorely needed.

How is science to evolve if good research requires $49 a pop to view?

And what amazes me is that these authors have undeniably stood on the shoulders of giants in order to create their research.

My goodness, a blast from the past. Such a glorious time to be a programmer... every single business needed a database to do their simple little daily chores, the coding was insanely easy (just a bunch of CRUD process), and the difference it made to the customers was night/day... hence, you could charge thru the roof.

I wrote a simple little CRUD app in FoxPro, for the Canadian real estate appraisal market, which took about a part-time month to create, and first year, sold 300 licenses at $299 a pop.

Ahh, memories of a simpler time.

A little misleading when they mention 'our' brains, yet the study outlines that even acorn worms have the same structure.

"Adam Mosseri has warned that users who switch off Instagram’s recommendation system end up with a worse experience, telling an Australian press briefing that engagement can fall by as much as 50% and that satisfaction scores fall off a cliff." - Well, isn't this just that we fear from technology... that the makers of their social media applications feel that their products are simply there to create our experiences?

Well, I have news for you. Social media creates nothing. It lives by getting us to not act... to sit in a mind-numbing silent purgatory, voyeuristically watching the fictitious 3rd-person accounts of the subjective experience of others... as the synchronisation of our genetic inner core with the paths we take in the social realm becoming less and less harmonious... since because of social media we take less paths... since you know... we don't act.

So if the addiction from the behavioural algorithms is all you have to engage with your users, why aren't you classed as drug suppliers?

The nature of employment has changed and there is no going back.

"These findings challenge assumptions that remote work undermines connection and retention. Instead, they suggest that remote work can support well-being and that well-being, not proximity, is a key factor in employee retention."

What is interesting to me here is the conflict between well-being and corporate interests. It is high time that well-being is being mentioned and considered as the definitive measure of employee retention.

Yes, financial planners will be one of the first industries to totally revamp itself because of AI. $2,000 for some SoA which is 99% boiler-plate? No thanks.

I spent years in this industry, and the advice from these 'experts' is demonstrably poor.

And it's ironic since the LLM will most likely have used previous students work to train itself.

High functioning autists must have other traits which blend-in into their level of autism. Take a look at Steve Jobs... clearly autistic but had a drive and charisma in order for his level of autism to be (for lack of a better word) supercharged.

I bet the molotov cocktail was made via instructions from ChatGPT.

This is why we built nOne, a permission/consent layer underlying the engines/platforms/algorithms/etc.

This way OpenAI can check the permissions of the author of a particular body-of-work and then respect those permissions, so that the legality of their functionality/crawling is not questioned.

I am building nOne, the first subjective layer of the Internet, or more accurately, a permission layer underlying the engines/platforms/automation. Although it does pertain to AI, its more than that... it is a permission system for email, AI, and cognitive inputs (undisclosed automation, what you permit in your feeds, etc). It encompasses the entirety of the digital realm.

We have created a permission system within our social worlds... time to apply the same standards to the digital realm.
