It's so interesting that great projects like Linux came from the dissatisfaction of one developer. So believe in your own needs, it often means there are enough people who have the same needs.
And Crypto was followed by Metaverse/VR. Facebook even changed their name to Meta. There’s always some tech hype going on to lure investors money. They don’t seem to afford to not jump early into each bandwagon.
Yeah, VR has real professional uses. Consumer VR mostly failed because of locomotion issues. You can’t play most existing games in VR as you can’t freely move without puking. AI has professional uses too. For example our trash is today sorted with AI vision algorith + robot sorter. AI also is used to process particle accelerator data: filter massive data sets, find anomalies, search new possible standard models, etc. AI algos are great for many big data optimization problems. The problem is that marketing hype tells us that everybody will soon wear VR glasses daily and spend most of their day in a virtual metaverse. And AI will replace all our jobs in 5 years and super intelligent AGI will wipe out humanity in the next 10 years. You have to invest today to avoid missing big structural changes similar to internet and smartphones.
I was looking for midi files to listen to (this is what I used to listen to before MP3s) and was surprised to find some sites with web rings that still function. It brought me back and made me think about using the web then and using the web now. Exploring the net-scape using web rings and link boards is like taking a relaxing and refreshing walk near a gentle stream. Not long after my search for midi files, I had to return to googling for something more urgent, and I realized that modern web usage is not exploratory at all; it's more like hailing a cab in the very busy downtown of a large super urban city. Definitely we need the urgent method sometimes, but I wonder if we do not overrely on it.
At 8:10, "beautiful science" in results in "beautiful science" out. That's B.S. and it's what you get when you use poor data to train a machine learning model. However, we are getting to a point where we can "generate" data to do training. However, the hard things for people to do are not always easy to train a model to do. This is what Linus was talking about when he said he wanted AI to help him. But that is problematic. A little earlier (at about 7:10) Linus Torvalds mentions the very complex tools used to modify kernel source code. Being able to do this with "AI" would be very useful he says, but I'm guessing it is one of the further-down-the-line places we are going to get. When refactoring/modifying code to do complex things like change the size of a data structure that is accessed directly in assembly language, or low-level C, fixing the offsets and finding all the references to the code can be tricky. Writing algorithmic code (as opposed to a data-driven machine learning model) is exceedingly complex, so I'm guessing it will happen much later. One of the things we ARE seeing is machine learning models that learn by trying. Google has some robots that play soccer and someone else has a robot that sutures wounds. These can learn by trying. Learning how to fix problems like Linus is talking about is very hard to set up. Perhaps this is a good research project for someone.
To be fair, the way LLMs work, you can feed entirely coherent and precise data in, and still get complete BS as output. LLMs are not cognition or reasoning machines. They are models that produce statistically likely sequences of glyphs and tokens (letters and words). The "self-learning" models are just refining that statistics-based response usually at the cost of further reduction in variation of responses. The more statistically precise a response system is, the less likely it deviates significantly from the ideal statistical response. The "iterative models" (which are different, these are the ones that keep trying until something is finally correct) are limited by the quality of tests and criteria that define correctness and also by the # of iterations required to get it right (ballooning costs).
He's right.. The best play especially to programmers is to only use the AI for specific syntax searches and NOT to fill out or have it write lines of code for you. You won't be a great programmer by doing that sort of thing. I'm reminded of auto-correct... think of how many words you cannot spell because of it.
AI will never replace me. I wouldn't put up with management. They are also AI. Artificial Incompentence. [Supposed to be humourous. I know -- don't quit my day job.]

One of a wise man, definitely !! And in reverse engineering, we’re also praying to get some assistance, lots of promises, and still not much to see in the horizon… and personally, the more I dig into the mechanics of GenAI, the more I get convinced that it’s indeed a hype 🤔
Personally I use AI to assist, and want as described a 4-eyes/paiered coding, otherwise build standardised modules and snippets. I tried and game design, pong, and waa given a solid basic design (both Claude and ChatGPT); simple changes were easy, but (as per uaee feature creep) the program devolved, and as modifications were more targetted to interface design errors and code style breaks increased, ie integration to existing world "High Score" table. But patching to directly interface to a poorly defined tools and webservices it managed baþer rhan I! A MASSIVE TOOL, but OS code/Service layer code needs strong review to ensure code is safe.
I would like to see the programs and algorithms as open source. I would like to see the algorithm that they use to censor out "hate", "false truths", and "lies". So will they make public the algorithm to determine what is hate speech?
If they have worked together, that explains it. Plus, that way we know a lot of the conversation was planned carefully. I'd expect Linus to want something like that.
