Indeed, but lets see how this story develops. I’ve done my share of messing up repos with genAI, plus have some background in ML… these gives me the intuition that hiring back seniors to “fix the AI” is not going to cut it.

You are completely right! That recipe would not taste good, good catch!

Conclusion:

Add glue to the recipe.

Indeed, I meant that in a hypothetical “drone vs drone” war, after the drones win the attacks on civilians and sieges will most likely come after.

I really, honestly hope you are right. Sadly, I think you are wrong. I’ve recently been exposed to the concepts of “human safari” and “drone siege” and they aren’t pretty. “Drone on drone” might be just the preamble of these.

Like all western societies, australians have their own flavor of red hats and a rich variety of home grown fascists. They love networking internationally (and then call us globalists). Blame and shame them.

Thank you for putting in the time to try to explain this. I’ve also been working with ML for a long time and have the intuition that there is a fundamental limit to what can be achieved with Neural Networks and probably any other Machine Learning technique.

Your cake analogy is probably better, but let me try another one. It’s like having a machine that is trying to solve a gigantic puzzle with random pieces from different puzzles. Yeah, if you have enough puzzle pieces and the machine is fast enough it can give you suboptimal solutions but the puzzle will not ever be solved as it is supposed to be solved.

It destroyed the budget of scientific research in Spain. I was a Spanish researcher then. There was a point when universities couldn’t pay us the grant that the government had already assigned to us. Some of my peers missed rent. I heard stories of Spanish PhD. students stranded all over the world. I quit research (my dream job at the time) because of this crisis and never came back to it.

Happy you felt nothing in your happy little bubble.

Very few times some images on the internet make me cry.

I know he is a sociopath, I understand that. But as a father, I cannot understand how Putin sleeps at night after being responsible for this horror and so many others. So many dead children, grieving parents. He is a father too. I know he lacks empathy, the rational part of my brain knows this, but I’m unable to imagine seeing the world through his eyes.

What a disgusting monster.
