Darren Meyer :donor:<p>The world favors *bold* predictions over *accurate* predictions; which means you have to be skeptical. It's easy to make an "80% demo" of just about anything, but that last 20% is often very hard. – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>OpenAI is a great example: selling stock at a $500B valuation with no clear path to making any kind of profit. It's a form of performance art – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>Musk figured out that you can make wild AI promises and get money whether those promises are accurate or not. He said every year we're on the cusp of ubiquitous driverless cars, but we're actually not all that close (even if we'll get there eventually) – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>Neural networks have had all the funding, but symbolic AI systems (like GPS!) have a ton of value. They're not in competition, they're complementary – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>There hasn't been a fundamentally new invention or discovery in AI since 2017: everyone is following more or less the same formula. – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>"These [LLM] systems actually don't understand what it takes to write secure code" – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>LLMs are not nearly as smart as they pretend to be: they're advanced mimics. – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a> (NB: *thank you*, so many people don't understand this and it's so nice to hear an expert say it bluntly)</p>
Darren Meyer :donor:<p>LLMs might play some role along the path to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) — we don't know how that will pan out — but it isn't AGI itself. Even the industry is quietly retreating from AGI claims. – Gary Marcus <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BHUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHUSA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a></p>

alchemistmuffin<p>But overall, didn't want to do anything after I had to quit my dream job for while. Not even live sports posting. Even during the job, I had no energy left after long days of driving. I knew at that point, this job was not a good fit for me.</p><p>So, what's next? I don't know. I trust something will find me or I find something.</p><p>(like I said, I already have some interviews lined up)</p><p>So we will see.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LifeUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LifeUpdate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SportsUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SportsUpdate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a></p>

alchemistmuffin<p>The dream job was not what I thought I envisioned.</p><p>It stings, really stings. And sad.</p><p>But, am I at peace though? Yes.

alchemistmuffin<p>Unfortunately this have lead me to miss most of series clinching games for past week. For that I’m very sorry but there was simply no way to post. I was super tired every night. </p><p>(Getting back to not working graveyard will get some used to) </p><p>But there are game 7s and that’s the most important thing. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sports</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LifeUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LifeUpdate</span></a></p>
alchemistmuffin<p>Hello friends. </p><p>You may have wondered where I was for past week. </p><p>Well, I started a new job, and unfortunately had not had chance to live post any sports content since it’s 9-5. </p><p>Furthermore had to stay at hotel all week due to construction happening at my place. So no chance to set up my usual office set up since had to share with people </p><p>But finally moved back into the house today, so hopefully I can get back to sports for the weekend. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LivePost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LivePost</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LifeUpdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LifeUpdate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OnHiatus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnHiatus</span></a></p>
