My theory is that even if the models are frozen here, we'll still spend a decade building out all the tooling, connections, skills, etc and getting it into each industry. There's so much _around_ the models that we're still working on too.

Agree completely. It's already been like this for 1-2 years even. Things are finally starting to get baked in but its still early. For example, AI summaries of product reviews, gemini youtube video summaries, etc..

Its hard to quantify what sort of value those examples generate (youtube and amazon were already massively popular). Personally I find it very useful, but it's still hard to quantify. It's not exactly automating a whole class of jobs, although there are several youtube transcription services that this may make obsoete.


I definitely didn't expect one-shot to mean "let it run itself in an indefinite loop"


Surely there's AI usage that's not morally reprehensible.

Models that are trained only on public domain material. For value add usage, not simply marketing or gamification gimmicks...


How many models are only trained on legal[0] data? Adobe's Firefly model is one commercial model I can think of.

[0] I think the data can be licensed, and not just public domain; e.g. if the creators are suitably compensated for their data to be ingested


> How many models are only trained on legal[0] data?

None, since 'legal' for AI training is not yet defined, but Olma is trained on the Dolma 3 dataset, which is

1. Common crawl

2. Github

3. Wikipedia, Wikibooks

4. Reddit (pre-2023)

5. Semantic Scholar

6. Project Gutenberg

Nice, I hadn't heard of this. For convenience, here are HuggingFace models trained on Olma:

Of course my first thought was: Let's use this as a tool for AI searches (when I don't need recent news).


Never seen that one, thanks! Alt text: "Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit."

Wow, looks like a tremendous commitment and depth of knowledge went into this one-man project. I couldn't even read the whole write up, I had to skim part of it. I'm super impressed.


I know tomato (acidic) will make holes in aluminum foil but I didn't know more than that.

>Cool people are largely perceived to be extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open and autonomous.


Guardian, fact-checking the paper with known cool people, suggests that they missed a key trait: "low-key"

(I disagree with their lists at the end of their article tho ;)


Subtract hedonistic and powerful.

I would say that adventurous, open and autonomous are three qualities that make a person interesting, as opposed to boring. They likely have entertaining stories and an approach to life that repels dullness.

And extroversion, though it doesn't have much bearing on being interesting, makes it a little more likely that I'd encounter them and get to know the three other qualities.


I noticed there's no word such as smart, bright, clever or wise mentioned in the sentence above.

Just an observation, nothing else.


the word cool is pretty much the opposite of bright so that tracks


What specifically do you mean by this?


I think he's riffing on the essential meaning of the word, e.g. a candle or a bright incandescent bulb cannot be cool- they're literally emitting heat.


That's exactly what I meant to say ;)


> Just an observation, nothing else.

I’m sure lol…


But "utter crap" isn't just an aesthetic issue - that can mean all kinds of bugs and malfunctions!


And infinite job security for those who know how to turn on a debugger


Or people will just throw the product away and buy a replacement because it’s cheaper than fixing it, much like we no longer mend clothes


He did say he doesn't know if the center has cash inside... but a hollow core definitely defeats the display purpose!
