he's either delusional, or more likely lying. what he's saying is absolute nonsense and he should know better, but if he said the truth people might ask why he needs tens of billions of dollars
The things LLMs can actually be put to good use for either are bad for society (spam, scams, cheating on homework) or do not justify the massive investment. Better emails is great, but its just not worth billions of dollars.
I want to be clear, from an academic perspective these things are fascinating and very very cool! You can teach a computer to talk like a person might simply by having it read all the books! But there is not a business reason to have this. Not at the current costs. Maybe LLMs are a step we need to get actually useful AI tools, but as currently constituted its just not there.
The killer app of LLMs is how its gonna kill the industry when the investments fail to make the expected return. A lot of people are gonna lose their jobs when managers try to replace them with AI, and even more are gonna lose their jobs when that doesn't work and all those companies go under, and there's another tech bubble burst
>Better emails is great, but its just not worth billions of dollars.
I mean lets just say your premise is right, how much time is spent worldwide writing emails that could be automated? Just on a pure man hour basis it's surely worth billions if it did nothing else.
>But there is not a business reason to have this. Not at the current costs.
ChatGPT Pro tier is $200/mo, if you can't find ways to get that value I'm sorry but it's a skill issue and you're ngmi. The API tier is like $/million tokens. It's a joke to complain about the cost at this point...
the people rooting out "wasteful" "corruption" are child Nazis who have very close ties to Satanic CSAM extortionist crime rings. Not an exaggeration. These people should be in jail, let alone have admin access over the Treasury payment systems.
also, none of the "data" they've released has supported their claims. they are lying and corrupt and doing treason of the highest order. Even Jefferson Davis and Benedict Arnold would be appalled.
Since you're asking, yes they are. Johnson is a right wing populist, and Liz Truss recently spoke at a far right conference, complaining about the deep state thwarting her plan. They're Trump without the funny accent.
I'd wager that a 19yo is MORE likely than a 29yo, which is also relevant. Also, properly trained individuals are less likely to fall into this trap. How much training have these completely non-vetted children had?
In a just world, these kids will end up in jail for a long time, and Musk for the rest of his life. In a less just world, well, I don't want to get banned
this is not an actual argument in the case. this argument is just an aside in a footnote.
the government is actually arguing that the Department of Labor is allowed to issue fines and require companies to pay back wages when they steal from their employees and lie on visa applications
we call those "appeals". If you don't like your judgement, you can contest them in a real court room. There's an entire process for this.
But if the appeleate court rules the same, you're SoL. IDK how many appeals you think people deserve over crimes this open and shut (and so frivelous in the grand scheme of things. He was charged 16k for the offense and backpay).
No, I don't think it helps the govt. I don't think it was necessary. Motions, especially early ones like this, often have a lot of things in them that aren't necessary because they throw all their arguments at the wall and hope some of them stick. That's how it goes. This is likely a case of one of the DoL lawyers with a bone to pick who found a place to basically go "and another thing!"
