True, but at the same time my man JJB famously said «Ooh! Ooh! Mooie! Woohoo! Aah!»
So yeah

I, for one, don’t immediately see anything wrong with what you’ve said here.
There are perhaps some exaggerations here and there to drive home your points, but the best thread/rant on the subject (from the side of outraged bluesky users) that I’ve seen

I guess you’ll have to engage fervently with that content to bring it back. Good luck 🫡

If you want to dive into async allocators a bit more:

Our hardware is usually async in many different ways, but our default programming approach usually isn’t.

For example we approach allocating memory as a sync operation, but it usually isn’t. We could be doing stuff while allocating. Async allocators has a host of fun problems though :)

I think you’re applying your own (better) logic and improving on what he actually means. Your point has merit, his does not.
Hold people accountable to their exact phrasing.

He specifically said to stop worrying about climate goals and instead funnel money into AI, no?

That’s what you should either agree with or not.
Applying AI in various fields is something else. Sounds good.

Generalisations outside what exists/can be inferred in the training set?
That is unfortunately impossible simply by how training works.

I think continuing to fund ML research is essential. But there are a limited amount of geniuses out there. Wild spending will not improve anything.

Hah I thought you blocked me for agreeing with you because my comments disappeared. Phew.
I guess they’re gone because the parent comments were removed.

MLE here.
I don’t want to put you down or anything, but I think you should look into the specifics a little closer.
It is correct that it can only solve the types of problems it has seen.
If the model is able to generalise beyond that then we’ve achieved AGE. Which we have not.

I work with AI. Specifically the actual implementation of them.
The way LLMs approach to a problem is the exact same approach as finishing a poem.
In other words it does not have the concept of problem solving, it is simply finishing text to the best of its abilities.

Why would I follow you if I didn’t want rants and tangents?
Go ahead :)
