Heh. Dial-up bbs, internet, and the like were fairly unstable way back when, not to mention expensive if you weren’t at a university. It’s come a long way, and I imagine artificial intelligence will as well. My main point was that even a 66% failure rate on complex real-world tasks didn’t seem possible even this century, just a few years ago. Transformers with attention really were a game changer in AI, and you have to be preternaturally blasé to ignore that. The problem, especially around here, has been how it’s sold (and to some extent that it’s sold at all), and the bubble that the hype has formed. I don’t disagree too much with that, I just think it’s a shame that it overshadows the very exciting and slightly scary tech at the bottom of the hype well, and leads to people dismissing it as advanced autocomplete, when it’s clearly something of a different degree.

It’s easy to forget how fucking sci-fi the existence of these models is. I’m kind of excited to see where agent frameworks are in five years time, as well as a bit apprehensive…

as long as it’s not paper clips, we’re good

The attack on Moscow’s strategic bomber fleet was not carried out by resistance fighters in e.g. Crimea, which would be the implication under that interpretation.

Then they’re commandos or special forces. ‘Insurgents’ implies an uprising against a central government, and serves to reinforce the Russian narrative of Ukraine being part of their empire.
