I’d guess one reason is that there has been no iPad/App Store/YouTube invented for dogs…
I have a gut feeling there will be negative consequences for how much time developing minds spend consuming but in the absence of clear cut evidence it seems to be the default.
What? If I want to read Harry Potter or watch The Matrix an AI cannot produce something equally as good for me. So I need to pay those people, or break the law.
For lots of online knowledge/blogs I guess it is true but even here I often read explainer blogs because AI casts everything in a certain narrative/tone that isn’t always appropriate.
Yes, my statement was loose. The blob doesn’t really have a position since it is theoretically an infinite distribution in 3 space.
It has a mean, and that mean doesn’t have to lie on the surface, consider the case where the mean is deep inside the strawberry but its spike contributes to the surface appearance (e.g a seed could be represented this way, or it could be represented by a small well-oriented blob on the surface, the optimiser doesn’t care)
Lots of translucent blobs composited to produce the appearance of a strawberry.
There is no mesh or model. The visual surface of the strawberry could be made up of blobs spaced far apart physically and not where the surface appears to be.
This is why they are called radiance fields, they model the light not the geometry.
Practically the blobs positions/rotations can be constrained to better physically match the geometry of a strawberry.
My friend and I went to play poker this weekend. Demis Hassabis was there. I whispered to him “what the hell, that’s Demis Hassabis”!
My friend had no idea who he was. My friend doesn’t work in tech but he’s in his late 20s and we are both British so I was quite surprised. My guess is most of the world has no idea who these people are, despite their influence they are very niche celebrities.
Maybe Sam is more famous but I’d guess ~no one knows Greg Brockman.
So I find “most hated men in America” quite dramatic!
The obvious pushback to all of the slop is: coding was never hard. Learning resources were abundant and free.
If these people had a burning desire to build things prior to LLMs and couldn’t put in the effort to learn to build them (which is also fun!) then why would they ever put the effort into anything to understand it and make it good??
It’s a disadvantage for sure but not usually a blocker.
They often have security questionnaires you can complete instead. Or, as part of signing with them, you can promise to get SOC2 by x date (which will hopefully be easier with the funds from an enterprise contract).
I’d recommend looking online at some example security questionnaires or the types of things soc2 covers and writing an internal security doc for yourself so you know your position on everything and don’t have to scramble when it comes to it.
Yeah I don’t know what’s true when reading about LLMs. Same with comments here on hacker news. So much money on the line it’s clear they would seed communities with marketing shills (and some people are just tribal).
Same since they own Bun, they have every incentive to make this seem easier than it was.
