One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.
Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.
Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while itโs at it recreate the missing functions.
Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.
Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.
Thereโs definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.
The strategy makes a lot of business sense too. Itโs why piracy controls in Microsoft Windows were so weak for so long.
Steve Ballmer said something along the lines of if the Chinese are going to pirate software, I want it to be Microsoft software.
Iโm not sure if this game has an online mode but generally speaking the network effect of online means more people playing equals a better online experience. If half those people didnโt pay, the ones who did pay still get a better online experience right?
We need somebody to wear a 360 camera and go walk every aisle every day. Use image recognition to get the SKU and price from the labels + estimate stock level. Upload the data to an API thatโs accessible to all for like $5/month.
Kind of like the Streetview cameras but for spying on actual in store prices.
Bunch of Chinese brands like BYD, but also Tesla is really popular. Some of the models of electric cars cost just a few thousand dollars. For those who canโt afford or donโt needs cars, the motorcycles and scooters are all electric. The buses are electric. Delivery trucks are mostly still gas powered. Charging stations are ubiquitous.
So their supply chains, manufacturers, city planners, and infrastructure are all way ahead, and they are gaining experience and getting cheaper/better by the day.
I think the rules are typically negotiable in advance, especially when itโs down to just 2 contenders.
Debates have the potential to show more than eloquence or intelligence, they also show soft skills like whether the candidate can control the conversation, control under pressure, how easily they succumb when bullied, and give the audience an opportunity to read their body language, which may develop (or remove) trust.
Biden famously told Trump in a debate: โwould you shut up, man?โ And in that moment quite a few Americans were swayed to select him believing heโs not susceptible to getting run over by trump mouth diarrhea attack like so many other politicians are.
Thereโs a program called Xevil that can solve even HCaptcha reliably, and it can solve these first gen captions by the thousands per second. Itโs been solving Googleโs v3 recaptchas for a long time already too.
People who write automation tools (unfortunately, usually seo spammers and web scrapers) have been using these apps for a long time.
Captchas havenโt been effective at protecting important websites for years, they just keep the script kiddies away who canโt afford the tools.
Impressive. In the world of high-amounts-of-capital-required-to-start businesses, I think space internet is up near the top. That gives de-facto monopoly status to anyone who can launch.
I guess it helps when you also control the rocket company, which had government money to help develop.
There were a number of high profile attempts before this and they all sucked or failed.
Either way Iโm pretty uncomfortable with Elon being in charge of this thing and hope he gets some competition soon.
Icq was bought a while ago and the buyer nuked the original user database. Not long ago I found my login info saved on an old zip drive and tried it. Was hoping my old buddies might still be there, hahahah.
Nope, icq as most remember it was toast maybe a decade ago.
