The issue is more that there aren't rules. Given there are billions of parameters that define how these models work, there isn't really a way to ensure that it cant produce unwanted content.
Printing money isn't usually a good idea as it generally causes inflation/devaluation of the currency. So while the US could do it, the outcome would probably be devastating.
In basic terms, the more of something you have the less valuable it becomes. This works for things like trading cards/collectibles, but also applies to money.
A good real world example of this recently was the pandemic. Between reduced spending (due to be cooped up) and stimulus money (ppp loans, checks, etc.), a lot of Americans came out of the pandemic looking to spend. This huge surge in spending meant a lot of people fighting over a set amount of goods (since during the pandemic manufacturing took a hit). So high demand and low/constrained supply leads to rising prices. So while people have more money, that doesn't necessarily mean they can buy more things.
If you believe the hype, the returns should be astronomical. Even if they just deliver a fraction of the value promised they are huge game changers.
The core issue is that, with most things Ai, solving 90% of a problem is usually easier than solving the last 10%. You can't have autonomous cars that can't follow directions from firefighters and cops and you can't have Agents that will blow up your work flow when stumbling into something unexpected. When you have automated "all purpose" machine, those "edge cases" end up opening you to a lot of risk that can hit in an instant. That risk is what's really holding things back.
If the industry had paid attention to the autonomous vehicle landscape they'd seen that rolling out LLMs was going to be a long and arduous process, meaning slower and smaller returns than being promised.
Yeah, it might be like the Wii leading into the WiiU. Twilight Princess was originally going to be for the GameCube, but turned into a wii launch title and was followed by Skyward Sword late into the Wiis lifetime. That resulted in the WiiU never having its own Zelda, instead sharing BOTW with Switch during its release.
So it's possible with BOTW released with Switch and TOTK late into the switches lifetime that we'll see the same thing happen on the switch 2 (and it won't get an exclusive Zelda).
I think "bailed out" is the wrong term, they'll probably be subsumed by another big tech company, like Microsoft or Amazon for relatively cheap. They'll then slow the roll on training new models and start commoditizing it rather than just burning money.
I suspect that if/when OpenAI folds, it'll cause the whole Ai landscape to cool off a bit.
Yeah, I think a lot of people forget that Google (and AI research like this) pumps out a lot of work like this that shows amazing new advances. However, that doesn't mean any of this is near ready.
Here is a 2018 paper about using world models (a concept where a model is developing an understanding of a "world") that used it to create an interactive Doom AI model - https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10122 just to show that this stuff has been in the works for a long time.
Yeah, I don't think we should be upset they didn't break the rule of law to get what they want.
Could they have fought harder and pushed back more? Certainly, but that isn't the same as doing what Trump is doing.
While I think it's the right thing to block out the faces of the women in all the Epstein photographs, I think it diminishes the impact they have. Without the victims faces in them it's a lot easier for people to brush them off as "women" and for the media to push that narrative.
Yeah, I believe there has been a report of at least one completely empty performance. Additionally Philip Glass canceled his Premiere of his "Lincoln" symphony because "the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.” - Source
I think Trump is shutting it down to prevent more stories of how quickly he's ruined this institution for the arts. Yet another loss for America.
It was never the avacodo toast preventing millenials from buying a house. It was the $34 Billion they each spent every year on booze.
If only they knew how to budget.
Usually when polling data is released they'll have info about the political affiliation of voters. I don't know about this election, but many of the special or off year elections since Trump have shown a mixture of lower republican turnout and a higher percentage of republican voters voting for democrats.
But for exact numbers you'd need to look into the elections. The Virginia state elections would probably be most telling as they do elections on odd years, so it wasn't a special election and was for the whole state. Virginia is also a "purple" state and ended up flipping republican to Democrat majority.
I mean, if you have compression artifacts wouldn't that mean the codec/delivery of the content is the issue and not the resolution.
I'm pretty sure that most 4k content isn't actually 4k (especially when streaming). I'd link a source talking about it, but they're all ad garbage.
