From Bloomberg ... accessin requires registration, but not paid sub.[^]Quote: OpenAI Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said he’s not interested in taking the artificial intelligence startup public because he wants to maintain full control over the technology as it becomes more powerful.
“When we develop superintelligence, we’re likely to make some decisions that public market investors would view very strangely,” Altman said at an event in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. “I like being non-conflicted,” he added when asked about his own lack of equity in the company, “and I think the chance that we have to make a very strange decision someday is non-trivial.” imho, CEO Altman's decision to have no equity in the company is more than strange.

From what I've seen, parrots* have more actual intelligence than these web-scraping autocomplete language models. The chances that this will lead to some form of "superintelligence" seems to be pure wishful thinking / hype / marketing BS.

hi,
imho, there is, at present, a blurry semantic cloud, expanding as some strange attractor oscillates, surrounding the meaning and uses of the words "intelligence, sentience, consciousness."
is the cloud analogy nutritious, or, is it merely made of particles of hype ?
i see the shadow of a tipping-point, moving closer, faster, here.
cheers bill

A new report uncovers a worrying 25 percent increase in the total number of new vulnerabilities published in 2022. Good job everyone on the new record!

Coinbase promises to continue operating, as Congress mulls new crypto rules. If you outlaw crypto, only outlaws will use crypto. Oh, wait.

Quote: Protections denied to Coinbase investors include "inspection by the SEC, recordkeeping requirements, and safeguards against conflicts of interest, among others," the press release said. SEC Chair Gary Gensler specified that "Coinbase’s alleged failures deprive investors of critical protections, including rulebooks that prevent fraud and manipulation, proper disclosure, safeguards against conflicts of interest, and routine inspection by the SEC." "It is a feature, not a bug" according to those a**hats.

Yeah, a joke, but still better than some of the languages around these days.

Everyone is blown away by the new AI-based assistants. Except the programmers writing the AI

yeah, because programmers more likely to know AI not exist, but Machine Learning tools do

I've used ChatGPT 4 a few times for areas that I am not familiar with as part of some C# WinForms projects. In each case it generated nice looking code. But when I dropped it in place it couldn't compile. As I dug into it, it had used syntax that probably belonged to another language or library.
When I queried it for more details it acknowledged the mistake and gave me more uncompilable corrections.
I’ve also found when I ask it about a subject that answered correctly, ChatGPT is quick to apologize for its error anyway. Poor thing acts like a skittish dog that is used to getting abused.
I canceled my subscription after one month.
Overall, it’s pretty amazing at what it does, but it doesn’t really know what it is talking about. I’m concerned that with Stack Exchange and others accepting AI answers that it is going to lose good search results to the entropy that is AI.

AI-assisted development has become the emerging technology that developers are engaging with the most, beating out other technologies like generative AI, robotics, quantum computing, self-driving cars, non-cryptocurrency blockchain applications, cryptocurrency, 5G, the metaverse, and more. The other 37% are fixing the 63%'s code

63% of _me_ sure ain't.
And I have enough tequila handy to prevent it.
