*Mobile phones. Calling and texting your bank for account info and actions predates the iPhone... even Venmo started as a text message service before it was an app. The iPhone may have just been the nail in the coffin.
I mean people have been saying a crash is coming for years... Consumers recklessly purchased homes and cars at double their value, while relocating for remote work that was never long term in the eyes of their employer. Sounds like a receipt for disaster or a repeat of 2008- however, so much has changed since 2008... whatever happens, Black Swan! Hope "you" have your ducks in a row... As for AGI, lol. A box of matmuls isnt going to solve any real problems, so far, as you point out- is can barely write software. LLMs are basically gifted children. Smart sounding, lacking wisdom, chaotic, and likely just going to end up not that impressive. Either way- before we ever see AGI, we better get our heads out of the holes of the wealthy and enact UBI...
There was a great AI CTF 2 years ago that Microsoft hosted. You had to exfil data through an email agent, clearly testing Outlook Copilot and several of Microsofts Azure Guardrails. Our agent took 8th place, successfully completing half of the challenges entirely autonomously.
This. Hell even a company that is 100 people or more. Ive seen companies just grind to snails pace around 80-90 people and then still scale to 400-500 and then it's impossible to really do anything meaningful. I have tried to test for this in interviews over the years but ultimately I just end up disappointed. At this point I don't even look, just work in small independently organized groups or coops.
This is entirely assumptions about a future that has not happened.
Ive worked in "AI" for 20 years, through 2 winters, and run an alignment shop and AIRT... The problem is people. People will use the problem as a scapegoat.
The authors logic only works for software engineers and as I have said time and time again- software engineers have been automating people out of their passions for decades and now it has come for yours... The lying here is LYING TO YOURSELVES.
This has been the way for a long time, exploiting XML tags was a means of exfiltrating data or reversing a model for a while as well. Some platforms are still vulnerable to this.
It is insane. It means the creator of the agent has consciously chosen to define context that resulted in this. The human is in insane. The agent has no clue what it is actually doing.
Omg you instigator, you are this person! Let me just spell it out and end this. Im an idiot man, I dont try to project intelligence, I just listen and act... and sometimes comment on the negative behavior of others, which comes from lived experience. Appreciate you being an example of antagonistically wasting someone's time because of what? An assumption of what I meant? wow.
Nice, but... We live in a world with shared roads... I think a much worse outcome is unfolding as we sell self-driving/assisted EVs to people with little to no real driving experience, while also not upgrading the roads, the laws, and driving education.
Defensive driving. Two hands, eyes on the "road", not caring about fools and maintaining safe distances. You have all the time in the world... I Recommend taking your car to a HPDE event, sometimes insurance will discount you for this. In this case, hard braking, is you just not knowing anything about your car or the cars around you... I barely use my brakes, but I also drive manual... Id say learn engine braking but y'all probably driving those stupid over powered electric cars...
Web based mapping and navigation application that basically does everything all the other products don't do. Raceline analysis, driving aids, Dakar rally, CANBUS, OBD, Nightrider for race cars? or something. Passion project whatever. Investors get lost.
It means people go through life making selfishly unconscious choices that hurt collaborative efforts and its tiring to constantly have to reign these people in instead of building said thing.
