  • Apple's headset will need killer apps & services to be successful

    I have no imagination whatsoever. But, I've seen quite imaginative apps for AR on the iPhone and iPad. 

    Games: Erect a AR scene on a real table and show "people and jets" landing. Walk around the scene seeing these objects in 3D.
    Astronomy: Render the nearby galaxies viewable in the night sky adjusted for wavelength and exposure. I've seen renderings of a galaxy compared to the full moon -- equal in size. 
    Hand lens: I have a high quality 10X Belomo loupe hand lens that allows me to see the details of living plants and insects. Based on university lectures. 

    It takes more expertise than imagination. There is plenty of expertise available,

  • ChatGPT might quit the EU rather than comply with regulations

    1. Aside from Germany and Holland, all practical industrial/tech things will originate, be built somewhere else outside the EU.

    2. Silicon Valley doesn’t have to worry about anything competitive in tech (AI) coming from Europe because of interference from the EU.
    The public literature on neuro-nets have been building for 20 years. It's in the public domain. The limitation of training neuro-nets is training data and the power and energy required: megawatts vs 30 watts for the human brain.

    The dangers of using large language models for peer review

    ChatGPT responded with totally made up material, sounding quite authoritative. 

    Banning ChatGPT would seem a good idea. It would give alternative AI systems which actually can tell the truth an opportunity to be developed -- if that can be done. 

    Large Language Models like GPT-4 are inherently lying machines. 
    GPT isn't strictly lying, you just aren't asking it the question you think you're asking. People think they're asking the question they put in the prompt. What GPT actually does is produce something which looks like what an expert would say in response to the prompt. For example, experts cite stuff when they're asked about legal or medical matters, so the response should have citations. If there are no high-quality real citations to include, make some up which look plausible.

    This behavior becomes much more obvious when you realize GPT (and Bard, and so on) will believe anything you tell it is at the other end of something which looks like a URL. The domain doesn't have to resolve, and the path doesn't have to be valid. An expert would load the page and potentially respond with new information based on what they read there. GPT can't actually load a URL or read, but it can fake a response which looks like what an expert who did all that might say.

    People have been doing things like telling Bard that Google discontinued Bard months ago, and it responds with something like "Oh. I'm sorry, according to the link you provided, you're correct. Bard was discontinued in March."
    It isn't strictly lying because lying requires intent and a neuronetwork neither thinks or has intent. It doesn't know anything but it hasn't been designed to know when it doesn't know and just generates in general most likely set of words that follows the previous set of words it's been working with. GPT-4 is a neuronetwork with about 90 layers and about a trillion parameters. (Galileo only needed to estimate 2 parameters determine that the force of gravity causes a falling body to trace a parabola.). 

    GPT-4 (or 3 or 3.5) doesn't believe anything. It just constructs an enormous set of word associations (n-grams) assigning conditional probabilities of a word given the previous words and then generates the next word (subject to an arbitrary parameter called the Temperature) to add some randomness so it doesn't always choose the most probable.

    What the heck is up with this administration???

    this is a PRIVATE SECTOR DISPUTE! 

    Let the justice system play out. It’s not like the Biden family hasn’t been doing much stalling of their own. 

    There is an order and process to things. 

    The Biden admin needs to remember that this is America and not some communist dictatorship. 
    There is nothing private about this case. It's about the validity of Patents, which I might remind you is a wholly Federal issue, enshrined the Constitution itself. Article I, Section 8.
