What the auto industry should have really woken up to is the idea of a singular carplay for both android and ios. I have a 2021 BMW that only supported carplay and was fine for many years. It is wireless even. I love it. But now i have a pixel.
To me AI is on par with the internet and what made it so powerful was piracy and porn and just the wide spectrum of things that are possible when you connect machines together. We are going to need the same thing again. Freedom to use any model that does any thing we want.
What if there is no good abstraction for the entire stack of software on each of computers? What if we built a common one because we had to? What if now we get to all make our own with natural language?
It feels like this whole site was manufactured to convince us that generative AI is a rocketship right now? While we might be basing a rocketship right now, to draw that line up at this point is total bullshit. the pc is real. the internet is real. the smartphone is real. its hard for me to even wrap my head around how you compare generative AI to these things. At this point I don't think we are far enough time to allow hindsight to let us see what the "thing" is that we should be tracking. Its not "generative ai"
I mean, just saying the new guy is trying not to be evil does not give any credence to some meaningful differentiation over the long term. Won't they just eventually be evil too? Seems odd to continue to trust the early thinking of long term companies. Haven't we been burned enough?
Unless you have hard proof this is occurring then I would rather believe my own and others positive testimony on self help. Its powerful and relatively affordable if you are committed to making changes in your own life. Is good advice. Authentic stories (generally). I am just grateful that people take the time and effort to reflect and encode their experience into something digestible by others. It’s pretty cynical to have your view.
He denies comparing them to telecom companies and even says at various points in his writing. Instead he compares their usage to the usage of mobile data.
I agree with you, but sadly without killer use cases in the browser this still ends up being quite political to adopt. I feel good about the approach being taken. The browser vendors have analytics on the usage of JCO and so despite it not being "ideal", it works. We need to make stuff using JCO and make those things popular. It's not on the browser vendors to build native component model yet. At some point I suspect it will be though.
Homogeneity doesnt need to be the endgame just a pitstop along the way. We should have a universal tool for creating unique things. If everything is unique the cognitive load is high we get lazy and output all converges on shallow stuff that is the same. If the tools are homogenous we learn something once and spend energy on making the diffetences
This is true. Outcomes correlate with the quality and depth of the conversation. The quality and depth correlates with the users understanding of computers
I briefly skimmed this, but why are you wasting my time? What does this have to do with me earning free trips from being smart about how I buy things? does not compute.
Coming up with precise instruction about what we are after isn't always possible. In many cases we only know what we are after once we see it. And if you can't express what you are after into tokens you can't outsource that choice to anyone else except your own direct experience of the process.
