I just hope there’s enough time between an actual AI and the “Let’s butcher this to pump out ads”-version to publish a definitive version of wikipedia. After a few days with gemini 2.0 delving into the guts of a spectrum analyser, I’m very impressed by the capabilities. But my cynicism gland is fed by the nature of this everything-as-a-service. To run an LLM on your computer, locally, without internet, is just a few clicks. But that’s not the direction these software behemoths are going.
Yes, but is the inflection point in 12 months or 12 years?
Either way, it's pretty wild.
That's possibly a bit too general and an over statement...
Remember this approach only works for exploring an optimization for an already defined behavior of a function which has an accordingly well defined evaluation metric.
You can't write an evaluation function for each individual piece of or general "intelligence"...
