This is possible and much easier than with the people who usually do the actual work that makes a company sucessfull.
For example, this chinese company has done it and performs very well: independent.co.uk/…/ai-ceo-artificial-intelligenc…

- Comment on Efficiency! 1 week ago:
I’ve got a rejection notice after I was hired by the very same company. The reason was that someone forgot to mark the application as accepted, so the system automatically sent the rejection mail. That was confusing at first, but also funny.
- Comment on Efficiency! 1 week ago:
You seldomly do get the reason. Even if you’re asking. Because companies don’t want to provide ground for lawsuits. The reasons for rejection can be highly arbitrary and therefore not be justified. Even on a legal basis. So they won’t tell.
These application process dances are usually a highly defect and outdated approach to hiring anyway.

- Comment on Misogyny or something... Idk 4 weeks ago:
They are not totally wrong. But not totally right either.
What we perceive as sexual and how we react to it has strong cultural and social influences, of course there is also the baseline biology.
There was a time when women’s legs were “tobooed”, since being considered as highly sexual and delibaretly hidden.
Nowadays it’s no issue at all if women wear clothes that reveal their legs accross all occasions.So there is some form of habit to it. If we are used to seeing naked body parts in non-sexual contexts, then we will see similar normalization in this regard as with legs or other body parts and areas.
We might benefit from normalizing this. Among other effects, this could help to counter many legal and social issues people have with revealed body parts between genders.

Current state of the art DAC plants are incredibly inefficient. Also, even if they would come with efficiency that is comparable to trees, they would still lack other positive ecological functions of trees.

I don’t care about votes. I just hope that people start to comprehend this field a tiny bit better .
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
But yes. Exactly in the use of “Artificial Intelligence”.
Artificial Intelligence is a wide field, consisting of a plethora of methods. LLMs like ChatGPT are part of this wide field, as per definition how researchers are describing the field.
The “intelligence” part is an issue though if taken literal?., since we have no clear definition of what “intelligence” even is. Neither for human / natural intelligence, nor for artificial. But that’s how the field was labled. We have created a category for a bunch of methods, models and algorithms and sticked “AI” onto it. Therefore I stand by what I have said before:
It is AI.
Due to the lack of a clear definition for “intelligence” I would coarsely outline AI as: mimicking natural thinking, problem solving and decision processes without necessarily being identical. (This makes it difficult to distinguish it from plain calculators though, so a better definition is required.) So if we have a model that is able to distinguish cat pictures from non-cat pictures, that’s AI. And if we have “autocorrect on steroids” (credit to Dirk Hohndel) like ChatGPT, that matches the text comprehension skills of 15 year olds (just an example), then this too is AI.

Have you tried Ecosia?
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
Whithout a clear definition of intelligence, such a discussion is somewhat pointless. The closest thing I would use to describe artificial “intelligence” is: Mimicking human thought and decision processes, without the necessity of being identical.
Secondly, regarding your first paragraph:
Humans excel at providing wrong information. Sometimes they are right. In that regard there are similarities between an LLM and a human.By the way: LLMs are part of the field of AI. But AI consists of a plethora of methods and algorithms, where LLMs are just a tiny fraction that is currently very popular.

I wouldn’t be so naive. Even applications advertised as “secure” may be subject to surveillance laws of various nations. Or even just plainly lying for other malicious reasons while keeping it “hidden”.
And any file can be brute forced open given enough processing power or enough tech
Which, depending on the encryption and password, may take more time than the age of the universe. Even with quantum computers, afaik. There are already a bunch of new encryption technologies undergoing standardization that are also not vulnerable to quantum computers.

Fair point. But still pretty bad. Literally two days after the warranty expired my Seagate drive was broken. This was my first and only Seagate drive. Never again.
Meanwhile my old Western Digital drive is still kicking way beyond it’s warranty. Almost 10 years now.
