I personally have spent those 100s (actually more like 1000s) of hours studying Software Engineering, and I was doing my best to give an example of how current AI tools are not a replacement for experience. Neither is having access to a sowing machine or blowtorch and hammer (you still need to know about knots and thread / metallurgy / the endless amount of techniques for using those tools).Software in particular is an extremely theoretical field, similar to medicine (thus my example with a doctor).ChatGPT is maybe marginally better than a simple web search when it comes to learning. There is simply no possible way to compress the decade of experience I have into a few hours of using an LLM. The usefulness of AI for me starts and ends at fancy auto-complete, and that literally only slightly speeds up my already fast typing speed.
Getting a good result out of AI for coding requires so much prerequisite knowledge to ask the right questions, a complete novice is not even going to know what they should be asking for without going through those same 100s of hours of study.
Not everyone has 100s of hours free time to sink into this and that skill
That's life, buddy. Nobody can learn everything, so communities rely on specialists who can master their craft. Would you rather your doctor have 100s of hours of study and practice, or a random person off the street with ChatGPT? If something is worth studying for 100s of hours, then there's more nuance to the skill than any layman or current AI system can capture in a few sentence prompt.
I don't think File Explorer on Windows uses fork() to copy files? If it does, that's insane. I don't think git calls fork per-file or anything either, does it?
I fully blame this on NTFS being terrible with metadata and small files. I'm sure everyone's tried copying/moving/deleting a big folder with 1000s of small files before and the transfer rate goes to nearly 0...
On the bright side, you're getting paid to wait around( /s because I know the feeling, and it's just slow enough you can't step away and do something else)
I don't think it really matters how old the target is. Generating nude images of real people without their consent is fucked up no matter how old anyone involved is.
Well, it's physically impossible to capture more energy from burning hydrogen and oxygen than it takes to separate it. Combustion engines are only something like 30-40% efficient in ideal operating conditions.
Building a repairable car on the other hand is very much possible.
The diminishing returns are kind of insane if you compare the performance and hardware requirements of a 7b and 100b model. In some cases the smaller model can even perform better because it's more focused and won't be as subtle about its hallucinations.Something is going to have to fundamentally change before we see any big improvements, because I don't see scaling it up further ever producing AGI or even solving any of the hallucinations/ logic errors it makes.
In some ways it's a bit like the Crypto blockchain speculators saying it's going to change the world. But in reality the vast majority of applications proposed would have been better implemented with a simple centralized database.
This practice was banned already last year in January. If you think this is grounds to invade a sovereign nation then you've got some twisted world views. Maybe the US should be liberated from it's oppressive anti-abortion, anti-trans government, hm? Sounds like the exact same argument to me. Every country has its problems. If you think invading is going to make anything better, then fuck right off.
It's a struggle even finding the manual these days if you don't already know where it is / what it's called. I was searching about an issue with my car recently and like 90% of the results are generic AI-generated "How to fix ______" with no actual information specific to the car I'm searching for.
You're only off by a factor of about 30 quadrillion.
Light (famously a type of radiation), takes 1 year to travel a light-year, hence the name.
If you want to make it sound impressive, then astronomical units aren't the right choice. The sun is only 1 AU away from us after all.
