I wonder about the world where, instead of investing in AI, everyone invested in API.
Like, surfacing APIs, fostering interoperability... I don't want an AI agent, but I might be interested in an agent operating with fixed rules, and with a limited set of capabilities.
Instead we're trying to train systems to move a mouse in a browser and praying it doesn't accidentally send 60 pairs of shoes to a random address in Topeka.
I was hoping to see the questions (which I can probably find online), but also the answers from models and the judge's scores! Am I missing a link? Without that I can't tell whether I should be impressed or not.
Looking at the replies to, say, https://x.com/aoc, it seems pretty steered to me.
If you want to hear replies from her supporters, good luck getting through a few hundred blue check marks. Compare this to something like https://x.com/RonDeSantis, which is an full of adulation for the guy.
In my estimation, X is tilted pretty far right at this point, simply because paid blue check marks are a sign of pride or shame, based on your political affiliation.
That's what I find most offensive about the use of LLMs in education: it can readily produce something in the shape of a logical argument, without actually being correct.
I'm worried that a generation might learn that that's good enough.
To me, this is the same as the "loyalty cards" that provide "discounts" in U.S. grocery chains like Kroger's & Ralph's. They've already decided to take your money with higher prices, and dole out small discounts for people who want to play their games.
As long as I have a choice, I will avoid companies that play such games.
This doesn't sound logical to me. I mean, suppose proponents win once. Stupid protections get enacted. But... can't opponents also get bills proposed, and passed?
Yeah, I had the same thought. $169?! I get that it's specialty geekware, but with enough popularity that I would have guessed the price would be in line with the Arduino. Like, $50?
My brain immediately translated the headline into "One in five young Americans is a trollish little asshole."
It's well known that actual belief and poll answers do not align, but here in particular I feel like there's an impish desire to give the "wrong" answer, and that's what the poll is measuring, rather than simple misinformation.
I'm really surprised at the number of people on the side of the telecoms here. I think it's reasonable to want consistent pricing and quality of service, particularly in cities.
Redlining doesn't have to be because of racism or classism, but the result is the same. There are underserved populations that can't get better internet, even if they want it. Isn't fixing that a reasonable policy goal?
If we can't get it from companies, I'd be down to treat the internet the same way we treated rural electrification & phone service. That is, setting a high standard and deploying it to everyone. No more multi-billion dollar giveaways with no consequences for delivery. If we aren't getting results, fund municipal broadband and other schemes.
