You know what, that’s actually a very good example.
The wheels are the interface between the engine and any kind of° surface, with no prior knowledge of those surfaces
We’ve got an engine of basically everything that followed the industrial revolution until now.
An LLM can very much function as the wheel to marry a surface to that engine.

I’m answering the question of what the arms race is
The goal is a technology that replaces the need for humans in any job.
The FOMO is different now because they don’t give a shit about the consumer. The FOMO is versus the other competitors because it’s a winner takes all scenario.
They will keep accelerating to the detriment of literally everything else.
Whether you believe they’ll make it is almost moot. They’re going to burn the world down trying.
I’d like to believe too, but it doesn’t really track when you watch what these companies are actually doing.
Of course an LLM on its own isn’t going to become an AGI. Anyone with a braincell can see that. These orgs aren’t so high on their own farts that they ignore this.
Nearly all of the actual uses today aren’t just the LLM, but the tooling built on top of it, the LLM is the bit that you can plug into the past century of computing developments to enable much greater autonomy.
It’s true to say an LLM in isolation isn’t going to become AGI, but it’s also looking very likely that an AGI will feature an LLM as a key component.
That’s what’s happening in parallel to the model development, tooling and harnesses that make the overall system more capable. If it can be done by a computer (or by extension a sufficiently advanced robot), the LLM can do it too with a bit of integration work (which it is very able to do on its own today, with minimal steering). If you can test for something being correct in any way, that too can be ultimately hooked up to an LLM as another input to push it back onto the desired path when it veers off.
Frankly I’m starting to feel like for most people it’ll feel like it’s years off until the day it happens. I don’t see remotely enough people taking the risk seriously in time to do anything.
Making a better LLM isn’t the point of all this, it’s taking what they have and building on it until they create a true AGI.
Whoever gets there first, makes basically everything else obsolete in an instant.
In a world where the organisations that are blazing the trail are in private hands, this is very bad news for everyone who isn’t in the winning organisation.
That’s essentially the arms race: who gets to be king of the world.
The slim chance of it not being monumentally detrimental to humanity is basically tied to us abandoning capitalism wholesale and uniting the world, so I’m not holding my breath.
Edit: few downvotes on this, so check my other replies for clarity, if you still think I’m taking out my arse, comment and set me right. It’s Lemmy, the points don’t matter, I’d rather have a conversation. Plus read again if you somehow get the impression I’m advocating for any of this
Oh I was really hoping it was Haynes and there was an expanded line art diagram of an ornithopter on the front
I’m surprised it didn’t go full “the purge”
If they block RSS feeds, it’s entirely dead to me at that point
The only interaction I have with Reddit these days is via a feed reader for literally one subreddit as a freebie/deal checker for audio software (AudioProductionDeals, I wish batwaffel would crosspost to the fediverse)
Okay so this is embarrassing, this article is the one that led me to realise the JD.com name I’ve seen pop up in a few places recently has nothing to do with the British sportswear brand JD Sports…
A few things make a bit more sense now…
Yeah, I’m kinda feeling personally attacked by this
…that’s entirely the point
The rich aren’t forced into situations where they have no other choice but to sleep rough, beg and/or steal food to survive
Yeah I kinda got the same vibe
“these new prices reflect the current state of component costs and other global logistical challenges across the industry as a whole.” There is, inarguably, some truth to this.
Some truth?
Given Valve’s plan is to aggressively price their hardware to gain market share in the living room, they’re not gonna bump the prices unless they’re forced to; not out of altruism, just because it would fuck up their plans.
Not really quite the level of journalism I expect from RPS tbh
Oh this is fantastic, I might dust off my old account
What’s considered extreme is a very subjective thing. That idea is often weaponised against the otherwise ignorant
Helpful reminder to everyone
You certainly did
I don’t give a shit what they do
That’s completely orthogonal to whether they have mentally matured past the age of 8
Dude, this is a discussion about how ignorant guys should not be shocked by what women actually look like.
And how it’s kinda a baseline piece of becoming a mature, well rounded person
bitter women
Are you intentionally telling on yourself, or…?
Hello, I’m an actual man
The only ones excluding guys that can’t treat women as people are the guys themselves. These really are pretty basic concepts
Completely agree, but in the gap left by “vast majority”, these guys don’t seem to be behaving entirely like your conventional consumer squeezing companies, they seem to be playing a much more collusive game at the very least
That’s the flaw in the common view of this. You’re looking too short term. The second someone can offer to replace a business owners employees for half price, it’s basically infinite money.
That is what they’re pouring all the money in for: a chance at that prize. A chance at replacing all paid work with an automation they own.
