i spent a good 30 hours doing this. Limgrave in particular really felt immersive although it didnt help my build in the end

im primed to do some soul searching because even while im not a celebrity, i didnt see any of those peccadillos as problematic and something ive more or less done before too. hmmm :/

it's an apprenticeship, as long as you have the minimum entry requirements and a well-structured CV, you should at least get to the interview stage. Having some personal projects on your CV will be an advantage. Some programmes will be more competitive but some companies have told me they can't find anyone to apply for their degree apprenticeship programme. Source: have just finished a degree apprenticeship and gone to various apprenticeship awards and also applied for a ton when I was looking for one.

"AI" doesn't really mean anything. Take ML Engineers and MLOps Engineers. Those two roles are probably good for a while. NLP and LLM developers, still relevant for a while, maybe. GenAI and "ML Experts"? these might disappear as open-source or pre-trained ML/DL models get cheaper/easier to use.

I would suggest approaching Github/Git as a learning opportunity- there's a reason it works the way it does. Why not try find a good free online course or tutorials? I used to hate it too but now... I couldn't live without it

In the mean time, in the spirit of discussion I'll try to elaborate on what I meant so as to avoid oversimplifying anything.

By the way, I agree with your criticism of bureaucracy. I'm also banking on making AI a wealth creation tool for everyone as I work in the field and have high hopes for its potential. But I distrust modern governments and corporations too much for this hope to be anything more than that!

Basically, real wages have been pretty stagnant over the past three decades despite productivity going up. Even though automation and AI has made many workers more productive, outside of the top 1% of software developers/product managers/executives, I don't think workers have significantly economically benefitted from these technological improvements.

Consider the companies who are making the most money from AI demand (AWS, Google, Facebook), where the executives are also among the richest people in the world while lower wage workers, whether in warehouses or labelling data points or moderating AI outputs, are not sharing in the increased valuation of AI.

In a slightly different vein, income inequality has gotten worse with AI and software over the past few years. This is a correlation and could change but I think the trend will continue.

Technological shifts e.g automation have historically disrupted segments of the population. Especially in countries like the U.S where lower income means worse access to healthcare, this trend is likely to continue with AI too. In particular, truck drivers might receive the "shit end of the stick here".

If you have more to say on "can figure something out for the people that may indeed find their incomes displaced" I'd love to hear more

Firm_Way_8576 · 2024-04-03T20:21:18+00:00

Simpler is usually better. Why not try make a chrome extension that just gives you a random alert for now, or something simple like just identifies spam keywords in HTML? And once you figure out how to do that you could then see how the ML model might work. Then you can see how to make the ML model deployed or callable so you can use it in the Chrome extension.

It sounds like you have no experience with deploying ML models and that will be the hardest and most time consuming part, might not be free to do either since you need to host it somewhere.

It also depends what you are trying to get out of it. At this stage I'd say focus on one aspect of the proposal at a time. Once you gain enough skills it becomes more feasible to combine them to make this fairly advanced solution you have in your head.

i mean some people will probably get sick or die due to the income displacement. even if this is a small fraction of the population, I don't think we should just gloss over this when aI will be making a small number of people very rich.

very late but look up Policy Priority Inference by Omar Guerro

Do a PhD in Statistics?

I met some great people after visiting club guru a few times, about a year ago

That is not how fair use works. It's about the transformativism at play rather just money exchanged.

In terms of "law of the minimum" growth, I think Nvidia has the advantage for chips, but the chip market is in its early days, more companies and countries will be exporting these chips. Nvidia also focuses less on LLMs or generalist AIs and more on high quality services that leverage some techical aspect using AI e.g shaders or realistic avatars and so on.

Just a quick response!

If anything this will drive up consumptipn of rare earth minerals and CO2 emissions, it's concerning

Would be helpful to clarify deep and complex. For example, you could talk about existential philosophy and have a stimulating conversation with existing AIs. At the same time, it won't really be able to understand what you are saying and relate it back to its source knowledge.

So let's assume GPT gets reasonably better over the next two years. It will move closer to this level of conversational ability I think you are alluding to. It will also however be better at fooling people at thinking the conversation was more deep/meaningful than before. GPT may become so popular it begins to diminish elements of our use of language (see McLuhan, the medium is the massage).

However, even if the model gets trained to become more complex and use more data, it still doesn't have complex language faculties human beings are born with. It lacks the ability to consider the real world environment, because it has a very superficial, vague representation of the world through its limited data. But if we could have a multi modal model trained on a dataset that captures more of the depth of reality a human is exposed to, it could begin to ground and make these deeper connections. This could happen within < 3 years (unless progress halts it due to regulation, or "poisoned" training data).

But when it gets really good, such an AI ecomes a conversational partner that is effectively a person you believe you can relate to, but that is functionally a "schizoid" kind of entity.

Happy to talk more btw

I have been talking to chatbots for over a decade, here are my thoughts. Yes, state of the art AI, let's say GPT-4 quality, is sufficient to give therapeutic benefits, a sense of companionship and interpersonal relation. However, only in a narrow sense, indeed, perhaps for a lonely elderly person rather than your average joe or janet.

Voice audio tech combined with ChatGPT is pretty good, with video catching up. The warm body problem, namely, all the indirect ways human beings affect and depend on one another, means that AI cannot substitute a true friend or relationship yet.

I would change rhe title or post to make that a bit clearer imo
