But starcraft training is not through mimicking human strategies - it was pure RL with a reward function shaped around winning, which allows it to emerge non-human and eventually super-human strategies (such as the worker oversaturation).
The current training loop for coding is RL as well - so a departure from human coding patterns is not unexpected (even if departure from human coding structure is unexpected, as that would require development of a new coding language).
AlphaStar (2019) refined through self-play but was initially trained on human data. I don't know of any other high-level Starcraft AI, but if you do let me know.
I tried figuring out the reference with Gemini, and it said this:
The immediate reply to that comment is: "On the internet, no one knows you're an editor." This is a direct play on the famous 1993 New Yorker cartoon: "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." By setting the anecdote in 1987 (a few years before the World Wide Web was publicly available), the commenter is implying that back in the analog days, if a dog wanted to be a writer or an editor, they couldn't hide behind a screen—they had to sit in a smoky London pub and do business face-to-face.
Which makes a lot of sense actually. I would imagine that's what the replier to you thought you meant.
We have strong indicators that inference is profitable on non-economically-valuable prompts. We don't have strong indicators that inference is profitable on economically valuable prompts.
As AI companies start extracting rent from the prompting, one of two things are going to collapse - either the long tail revenue base of low-value inference is going to collapse, because people won't be using Chat GPT to get a recipe if it costs them money or if it is ad-ridden; or the cost of economically-valuable inference is going to go up - and whether it goes up to economically stable positions is a toss-up.
And I say this as an AI enthusiast with <50% probability of a bubble burst in the short term.
I wrote somewhere that “moving fast and breaking things” with AI might not be the sanest idea in the world, and I got told it’s the most European thing they’ve ever read.
This goes beyond assholes on twitter, there’s a whole subculture of techies who don’t understand lower bounds of risk and can’t think about 2nd and 3rd order effects, who will not take the pedal of the metal, regardless of what anyone says…
The generous interpretation is that Open AI is still safety aligned and they hired this guy because it's safer to have him inside and explain to him how reckless he's being, than having him far from "sphere of control".
The more likely scenario is that he was hired for the amazing ability to move fast and break things.
Until the problem is politically recognised by the masses with adequate concern there will be no change. Climate collapse is not a problem for the capital and the elites it’s only a problem for the masses, but getting the masses to understand that requires higher levels of complex system understanding and third and fourth order effects - something which is not a majority trait.
I fear the only solution to this is that a climate correcting perverse incentive materialises, such as fusion at scale being more profitable than fossil fuels, but without mass-panic induced traits such that fission has.
I guess a quarter of the smartphone market (leader), half of the tablet market (leader) and a tenth of the global pc market (2nd place) / 6th of the usa/europe market (2nd place) being a small market share is a take.
Os x has a 10% market share, which is 2nd after Windows, but i agree on that one i conflated terms. I couldn’t quickly find device manufacturers stats. If wiki is to be trusted - apple is 4th, with share not far behind dell [1].
If half doesn’t make you leader what does? Maybe you should elaborate your definition of leader? For me it’s “has the highest market share”. And in that definition half is necessarily true.
It’s funny that for PC’s you went for manufacturers (apple is 4th) but for mobile you went for OS (Apple is 2nd). On mobile devices, Apple is 1st, having double market share compared to 2nd place (samsung).
The need to paint Apple as purely a marketing company always fascinated me. Marketing is a big part of who they are though.
A leader would be significantly more than half, which Apple definitely is not. Co-leader? Maybe. But Apple will likely be losing market share in mobile because inflation is rampant and made worse by AI eating up all the RAM and chip suppliers, and Apple's products are already too expensive and will only get more expensive and out of reach of most consumers. Apple is a "luxury brand", and most average people can't justify luxury purchases anymore.
>On mobile devices, Apple is 1st, having double market share compared to 2nd place (samsung).
>It’s funny that for PC’s you went for manufacturers
I never mentioned specific hardware manufacturers - only you did to move the goalpost. So don't lie and suggest I did that, because I did not. Manufacturers are irrelevant, since Apple won't let anyone run their OSs on any other hardware. You're trying to move goalposts to support your fanboyism.
Android crushes iOS. Windows crushes MacOS. Those are facts.
>The need to paint Apple as purely a marketing company always fascinated me.
I also never mentioned marketing. Are you a hallucinating AI?
If that doesn’t worry you, it should.
