I think this is analogous to diseases and vaccines. You don't immunize a child by exposing it to the pathogen, but to a modified version of it that poses no threat to their health, but still allows their immune system to recognize and produce anti bodies.
The same applies to teaching "street smarts" to kids. You don't do it by throwing them in a hostile environment where they'll be prey to hostile people without having any defenses built up first.
Edit: if I had to bet (don't know any research), schools nowadays are the main producers of intolerance, with the indoctrination and teaching kids to only respect civil discourse, ideas and opinions if they agree with the mainstream world model.
Can they know the SIM location precisely? I believe they can only triangulate multiple towers to determine a radius. If they could pinpoint a specific, narrow location, it'd be easier to spot unusual concentration.
I think many Apple users, especially people in the software industry, would prefer Apple software to be open source. It's not that they don't care, it's just that Apple quality is superior in multiple ways (hardware and software).
And it's not a coincidence that their software is closed. They can command ridiculously high margins and continue to invest in high quality products.
I think we do need to build new interfaces, though. The existing ones were designed for humans to use, either GUIs for end-users, or APIs for developers. But LLMs have very different reasoning patterns. They even make mistakes in different ways.
What I've experienced in practice connecting LLMs to existing APIs is that LLMs fail miserably with the interfaces, but simply "translating" the interface in a way that is easier for them to "understand" solves the issue.
> The LLMs seem to have their own idea of how they want to do something
exactly! what I'm experiencing is that prompt engineering has its limitations and comes with inconsistency issues...
by designing the tool from scratch tailored to LLMs, we can make the interface match what their "own idea of how to do" that particular task, which is more reliable and scalable
Integrations between LLMs and real-world services are challenging because all our current interfaces were designed for humans.
While developing tools for LLMs, my team [1] and I came to the realization that we need a new engineering discipline. One that cares for the "machine experience", for building interfaces that are tailored to LLMs, having their 'preferences' and quirks in mind.
The LLM has to be seen as a consumer. A user itself.
We need a new breed of engineers dedicated to what we may call 'Machine Experience (MX) Engineering', just as we have UX Engineering, for instance.
"what (I think) the world needs right now" is people who make uncomfortable sacrifices to live up to the ideas they defend, before calling for massive collective change and policing other people's personal choices and interests
Yeah, naturally we're only allowed to combat human extinction if we jump across imaginary moral bars some people set up. /s
Bars that always turn out as a hypocrytical pretext to end the discussion prematurely. I say hypocritical because once there eventually is someone who dares to jump it and offer the same criticism the bar gets moved.
No, I don't need to be a saint, a monk and carbon negative to say that in a world moving towards human extinction a jumping supercar should not exist.
> if we jump across imaginary moral bars some people set up
Aren't you you the one setting up imaginary moral bars for what kinds of features a car should or should not have? And for what people should or shouldn't want in a car?
Aren't you the one believing "we're only allowed to combat human extinction" if we jump across your imaginary moral bars?
I say that I personally think that people developing/selling/buying such a product are immoral (to me) and doing a disservice to humanity (in my eyes). Do with that what you will.
Now I am not a fan of banning things, but if you are at a mountain hut with a weak solar battery and one guy keeps plugging in a toaster because he doesn't want to chop wood, I am all for banning the toaster.
The world is not a place of unlimited resources and those who pretend it is while they make others pay the price are (to me) the lowest form of life and undeserving of any form of respect.
