    I’m not the one playing ‘AI is whatever hasn’t been done.’

    I’m thoroughly familiar with how these technologies work and their present shortcomings. This guy is joking when he says programming is over. But it doesn’t take a diehard fanboy to acknowledge that this was impossible a year ago, and is getting more democratized as it gets more capable, and it is getting more and more capable.

      democratized as it gets

      Eh openAI and co would really rather this be regulated very very hard and for all training data to not be accessibly anymore like it was in the past.

        They can try.

        Not like a corpus of published text is big data or privately held.

        Not like anyone training porn robots on booru tags gives a shit about copyright.

        Not like any model that’s been released can be put back in the bottle.

        OpenAI is struggling right now because they’ve realized they can’t afford to be centralized and they can’t compete at being decentralized. If big-iron approaches are truly more capable - they lose to Google. If advancements keep coming from rando engineers dropping whitepapers with stupid acronyms - they lose to everybody.

        Personally, I’m betting on a grab-bag of Asian surnames and LLaLLeLLuLLemon.
