This is why statistics are important. Conservatives will say "that's tokenism! They're not getting jobs on merit!"

My guy, quotas for underserved minorities and women exist because we don't live in a meritocracy. Talent and ambition is dispersed equally. If you are mostly hiring and promoting people like you, that's exactly why quotas are needed.

AI will help us create a better quantum computer which will make a better AI

Current "AI" is just LLMs. They don't need some crazy quantum supercomputer. They aren't improved by more processing power.

They need a ton of data to work at a basic level. There's no reason to think that future programs will just get better on their own. Especially if a lot of data is now LLM generated. They have no capacity to learn on their own through research.

I know. This other dude doesn't. Expensive camping gear is just lighter by a few oz. Just carry less.

These will last 20 years. They haven't even changed the design.

Also, why are you camping in crazy ass weather? Like I said, a tarp is even cheaper and better when it's hot.

You can get a good tent for $50, or a tarp and some rope for $30. You can get all your camping stuff for $1000. Less is more with camping.

People who invest are betting that the problems can be solved by a new team or when the company is sold to Facebook.

Don't worry. No one knows who this dude is.

That's true. If he really wanted to expand, he would just expand into AI filmmaking too. This sounds like a money problem, not a technology issue.

This dude is working at a bank. They don't pay well, but job security is decent. Banks rarely go out of business. He should go elsewhere to earn more. But yeah, that's literally nothing for his job. He could easily double it.

True. Maybe they just need more error correction. Like spend more energy questioning whether what you say is true. Right now LLMs seems to just vomit out whatever they thought up, with no consideration of whether it makes sense.

They're like an annoying friend who just can't shut up.

The funny thing is, children are similar. They just learn whatever you put in front of them. We have whole systems for educating children for decades of their lives.

With AI we literally just plopped them in front of the Internet, with no guidelines on what to learn. AI researchers say "it's a black box! We don't know why it's doing this!" You fed it everything you could and gave it few rules on what to do. You are the reason why it's nuts.

Humans come hardwired to be a certain way, do certain things. Maybe they need to start AI off like that, some basic programs that guide learning. "Learn everything" isn't working.
