I think a person who still knows how to code manually, learning from raw documentation and trial and error can hold massive leverage over people who don't.

I hope you have a few million dollars, the model requires more than a terabyte of vram unless you lobotomize it a bit.

When intelligence is a commercial commodity, it is only bound to happen that the rich gatekeep it to secure their socioeconomic status.

But, I think, with every revolution, hierarchies have only historically fallen only for the former serfs to rise.

The industrial revolution, the renaissance -> all were marked by an massive shift in the socioeconomic status and the rise of the middle class.

I think AGI, when it happens, will only raise equality. I may be wrong.

He statistically is the second coming of Christ Nobel and several breakthroughs in nature.

Demis was boon to a rather poor family, he used his own money to buy his first computer (from chess winnings.)

His father didn't have a steady job even, he is truly a black swan.

All of the major model's memory are handled by smaller more specific models.

I do not know about the future, but I believe, like the human brain (the amylgada + cerebral cortex), AGI will have smaller but more specific submodels running in parallel to craft an compelling heuristic.

Hahaha this hits home too hard, back in early 2000s people would moan all the time whenever they spotted a hint of autotune, in 2026 its the industry standard.

I think its really speaks on the incredible ability of people to be able to be stuck in the past rather than new technology being "bad".

Before internet existed, people went to clubs and malls, I wonder if they still do it now?

You can read the paper here: https://labs.scale.com/papers/swe_bench_pro

TL;DR its very effective as it directly tests model on REAL codebases: "The benchmark is constructed from GPL-style copyleft repositories and private proprietary codebases". The use case is very real.

That is why we have SWE bench pro, they test architecture design too, turns out 1000 dollars of tokens outperform 10k dollars of labor in meta design.

Do you believe skilled immigration is overall detriment or increment to the American economy?

Knowledge is not an apple tree, my machine can read all the 100 million books and those 100 million books still remain there.

You act like it's an zero sum game, it is not.

Do not agree with what you say at all. some people are usually afraid of going out because people like you label them narcissistic and solipsistic so they stick to LLMs.

Yes and it is still impressive even with regard to that.

In the near future we will probably have a mini 50B parameter model prompting the bigger model and we would have these results consistently.

This was GPT with 2 orders of magnitude of less compute.

Imagine what 5.5 is capable of.

Like a lot of AI scams you will see nowadays, its quite easy to circumvent AI detection.

If they implement an "bot" badge which has false positives 80 percent of the times, it will DAMAGE the human artists more.

The thing about Spotify is that is NOT driven by record labels, it is an platform for the individual meaning an individual can upload their music in an laissez-faire situation.

If they disallow AI artists tomorrow, they are going against what they created the company for.

Criticism is healthy and != maiming, but it is apparent that mainstream culture nowadays labels "AI Art" consumers as dumb and tasteless. I think this is maiming.

>"the idea that we should "close our ears" is of course itself the very appeal of AI content, it never challenges or complains, that's the appeal of AI music, AI boyfriends and so on." -> People also do shrooms that arguably have a similar effect, who am I to judge?

You can support real human artists all you want, that is your choice. That is not purism.

Purism is saying, like a lot of intent in this thread, people who listen to AI music are dumb and tasteless.

"soulless" is a term YOU label people with for enjoying a certain type of music. This is your problem, not the people's problem for enjoying this sort of music.

But I agree with your second point, an AI should NOT BE able to mimic a brand/personality such that it brings harm to them.

Your third point, actually it is NOT distinct from actual cover artists, because if I tomorrow pick a system of the down hum and then remix it and it gets popular, their automated DRM system will probably C&D me and their label sue me to oblivion using the same AI.

AI slop is quite antithetical to Spotify's business model, they would actually lose money if say tomorrow, AI music dominates the charts, when AI music gets that good, people can just generate their own music and leave Spotify back in the mud.

It's probably the "AI artists" themselves generating false engagement and manipulating the algo for discovery.

Bruno Mars started as an Elvis Presley impersonator (likely without his permission as he was dead at that time), can we say he stole his job?

People take ideas from other people all the time, my view is if machines do it, it isn't much of a different thing.

No one is forcing you to listen to Spotify. You are free to buy a turntable and play all the non-sloppy music.

Seeing the popularity of some AI songs, people DO want to hear to this sort of music.

On an off note, I do not get why moral puritans disparage the general public for listening to AI songs?

If they are "soulless" then they should close their ears rather than trying to maim others.

Purists have some agenda against AI that it's "soulless" and people shouldn't be allowed to enjoy that sort of music.

Remember when Radiohead launched in rainbows all digital and a LOT of people protested?

If AI music sells like you proclaim, it would be bad for spotify to NOT ban it, since it is printing money.

I would argue AI artists are antithetical to their business model, when people can generate their own versions of popular IP, they'll just use that.

NVIDIA has such a big moat around their CUDA architecture such that I don't think AMD will ever be able to outcompete them in AI compute unless they somehow find 2-3 nobel prize level breakthroughs today.

I think these binary labels are too simple to describe him.

There were never any days where leaders stood by their words.

People have always used lies as tools to maintain their power whether it is the Roman Empire or 21st century AI companies. It is just human nature.
