Tim would do well in these times of LLMs. They can write code faster than anybody but also need more guiding and coaching than anybody. They don't learn anything no matter how much we call it mac…

It's a nice story and I get the bit about the culture, but it does overlook the fact that you don't need the stones while you very much do need the LLMs.

> We are big fans of Apple and believe the iPhone and iPad are two of the most consequential products of the last century Huh? How are they products of the last century? Other than that most things…

Thanks. That is a good point. The RLHF phase indeed might "force" the LLM to adopt con artist tricks and probably does.

Sadly yes

This feels rather forced. The article seems to claim both that LLMs don't actually work, it is all an illusion and that of course the LLMs know everything, they stole all our work from the last 2…

Given your self permission to do something and don't care about the sleep is interesting; I have done this, worked on something till 2am and then fall asleep and wake up refreshed at 9am

I think it says 300B /by/ 2035 per year

" $300 billion annually by 2035" to me 300 sounds pretty good. But that's a long time

How would this multiple passes work though? Unless the model actually talks about what it does, I am not sure how it would have this ability. The next word prediction mechanism is just always going to…

Kenya is not a rich country, but hardly suffers from "civil wars, coups, and a starving population". Not all African countries do.

The actual value of a currency is not all that relevant. The Japanese Yen is worth less than the Indian Rupee, but the cost of living in India is a lot lower.

By now I wouldn't be surprised if more people know who Kurt Vonnegut is than Barnes and Noble, at least globally

Yeah, but I think the point is that this applicable on unrealized capital gains too. So if I start a company in Norway, raise a bunch of money and then move to the US because the company wants to have…

I mean Musk wouldn't do it for that, why would Altman?

It does not. His father did. MLK visited Berlin when the wall was up
