Did OpenAI ever actually announce anything publicly regarding a potential windsurf acquisition?
AFAICT most of the reporting was based on rumors or leaks. But they never actually announced an acquisition. Seems like Bloomberg may have made an oopsie here.
On mine I tried it "natively" and in DALL-E mode and the results were basically identical, I think they haven't actually rolled it out to everyone yet.
It's rolling out to everyone starting today but i'm not sure if everyone has it yet.
Does it generate top down for you (picture goes from mostly blurry to clear starting from the top) like in their presentation ?
You don't think the literal nazi salute elon gave at a rally, twice, warrants any comparisons? Or that the administration flirts with annexing Canada, Greenland, and Palestine? Or that their support is driven through prejudice against migrants?
The reopening of Guantanamo Bay as a concentration camp, at a cost of over $1 Billion, while elon musk's minion yank money from farmers and poor Alabamans $100 and $80,000 at a time, while tauting their own success on fox news...
Those similar gestures are people waving. Most of them aren't even clips, but still shots of the wave when the hand was extended forward. It is really disingenuous to compare them.
It is disappointing that we are pretending someone with the responsibility Musk carries couldn't foresee what his own body movements portray. He was at best trolling, and that is a pretty shitty thing to troll with.
There's no point getting into a discussion with someone who refuses to admit the sky is blue. You know what you saw.
The difficulty with arguing against someone who doesn't care about their beliefs matching up with reality is that you have to rely on factual arguments while they do not.
> You can find clips of many politicians doing similar gestures.
Really?
Since Musk made his two salutes all I've seen in response have been highly selective still photos taken at low angles that make it appear Obama, Harris, etc. have been making Nazi salutes.
I've yet to see a dynamic unfaked video lengthy video clip of, say, Joe Biden, throwing a Nazi salute.
Do you have such a clip with details of the time and place, hosted by a major media outlet?
> You don't think the literal nazi salute elon gave at a rally, twice, warrants any comparisons?
Honestly? I was on team "he's a clueless weirdo" and was mostly amused by watching his supporters cortort themselves to avoid saying that... But he somehow managed to fish out and hire not one but two engineers with a history of blatant racism, and even decided to rehire the one that resigned once it became public.
I generally think the whole "Nazi" thing is easy and reductive, but what the fuck?
I wonder if we could add some type of verification registry. It would be nice if browser's could have a big indicator saying that this website is verified to associated with Dell inc.
Some HTTP certificates do exactly that, and web browsers used to show the company/identity the certificate was issued to in the URL bar. Now you have to go to the certificates detail, very clear on Firefox, behind a few clicks on Chrome. Here's an example from a bank in Spain: https://www.bbva.es
That was EV certificates. They were finally removed from browsers completely around five years ago because they didn’t actually work. At all. The problems were largely social. Plenty has been written about it, you can find it by searching.
Well, the original HTTPS certificates too were supposed to work like that; I remember reading a security article criticizing the EV proposal by quoting the old (circa 1998?) policy statements of different CA's and showing that they're pretty much identical to the EV requirements.
How does automation reasoning actually check a response against the set of rules without using ML? Wouldn't it still need a language model to compare the response to the rule?
aiui a natural language question e.g. "What is the refund policy?" gets matched against formalized contracts, and the relevant bit of the contract gets translated into natural language deterministically. At least this is the way I'd do it, but not sure how it actually works
Totally agree with the sentiment. I find the constant debates on "is AI conscious" or "can AI understand" exhausting. You can't have a sound argument when neither party even agrees on a concrete definition of consciousness or understanding.
Regarding this line:
> ChatGPT can already tell you a lot about itself (showing awareness) and will gladly walk you through its “thinking” if you ask politely.
Is it actually walking you through its thinking? Or is it walking you through an imagined line of thinking?
Regardless, your main point still stands. That a program doesn't think the same way a human does, doesn't mean it isn't "thinking".
> Is it actually walking you through its thinking? Or is it walking you through an imagined line of thinking?
You can prompt an LLM model to provide reasoning first and an answer second and it becomes one and the same.
Worth keeping in mind that all of these points are orthogonal to the quality of reasoning, the bias, or the intentions of the system builders. And building something that emulates humans convincingly, you can expect it to emulate both the good and bad qualities naturally.
In split brain experiments (where the corpus callosum is cut), sometimes the half which is nonverbal is prompted and the action is taken. Yet when the experimenter asks for the explanation the verbal half supplies an (incorrect) explanation. How much of human reasoning when prompted occurs before the prompt? it's a question you have to ask as well.
why does performance improve after chain of thought prompting?
Because a human is measuring it unfairly.
The output without CoT is valid. It is syntactically valid.
The observer is unhappy with the semantic validity, because the observer has seen syntactic validity and assumed that semantic validity is a given.
Which is a shame. Because car travel in the US is still wildly more expensive than high-speed rail in other countries, while being a vastly inferior form of transportation.
Will this software come with perpetual maintenance updates? For how long? Do I get any new features for free? If not, is it really pay "once"?
Software is never "done". Developers need to be actively involved throughout the lifecycle of a software product. Which, to me, makes this sort of model unsustainable. I'd rather know that software I rely on won't be abandoned once the base of new customers drys up. And I don't mind paying for that.
When buying software like this your perspective should really be "WYSIWYG". You should assume support ends completely tomorrow, and any patches you do get are a windfall.
That means key considerations for every purchase are:
* How easy would it be to migrate from it to something else?
* How easy would it be for someone else to develop compatible extensions and drop in replacements?
* How easy would it be to troubleshoot and patch it yourself?
Perfectly bug free software is of course difficult. But reasonable level of polish is very doable. It used to be the norm for decades, and they didn't even pay devs as much as now. Modern subscription software does not have fewer bugs than traditional waterfall software.

Unless your API calls are properly abstracted into function calls. No reason you can't just have a `getUsers()` function on the frontend, and then use your favorite “find all references” tool from there.
