According to the article, the major effect is they are catching and prosecuting cheaters with a secondary effect that students are over-relying on them for homework or practice, and are unprepared for exams.
The article also talks about the fact that the SAT was banned. I really am curious what percentage of the effect is from no SAT vs LLMs. I guess they haven't had the SAT for a while though so it's gotta be the LLMs?
If you have good ideas that have a nice return on investment and leverage existing skills, sure. If you don’t have good opportunity laying around, best for the business to switch to maintenance mode, which means cutting staff. Or maybe cut staff, then use equity to buy growth via acquisition. It really depends on the business. Block’s growth has slowed so perhaps this would have happened anyway and AI is just what’s getting the blame.
I thought this wasn't viable due to cooling requirements - how do you cool massive amounts of compute when the only option is to radiate it into space - nothing to convect it with?
Also, the incredible amount of grift here with the left hand paying the right is scarcely believable. Same story as Tesla buying Solarcity. Board of directors should be ashamed IMO.
Vitamin D toxicity is absolutely real, causes hypercalcemia, and can occur even at the 4,000 IU dose. I would really recommend you be getting regular bloodwork done if you go beyond that. Here’s a fun podcast on a case study. https://www.barbellmedicine.com/podcast/episodes/episode-381...
Huh. The standard in your case is to measure waist circumference if BMI is high. Did no doctor do that? As long as you are below 40” or 37” if Asian you are considered good to go.
I believe it's intended to convince the audience they are experts, that this type of thing is dangerous to a business, and they are the ones doing the most to prevent it. There is no explicit statement to this effect, but I get the sense they are saying that other vendors, and especially open models that haven't done the work to curate the data as much, are vulnerable to attacks that might hurt your business.
Also a recruiting and branding effort.
All of this is educated guesses, but that's my feeling. I do think the post could have been clearer about describing the practical dangers of poisoning. Is it to spew misinformation? Is it to cause a corporate LLM powered application to leak data it shouldn't? Not really sure here.
