Included in these developer betas is a new macOS Sonoma that could be a gamechanger in porting Windows games to Mac. So people can test it wrong?
I lost faith in trying OS Betas a long, long time ago. But you do you.

In our paper published today in Nature, we introduce AlphaDev, an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uses reinforcement learning to discover enhanced computer science algorithms – surpassing those honed by scientists and engineers over decades. Alas, poor quicksort, I knew you well.

I could have sworn I had done it sooner.
Sure, better-better. Yadda yadda.

From Bloomberg ... accessin requires registration, but not paid sub.[^]Quote: OpenAI Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said he’s not interested in taking the artificial intelligence startup public because he wants to maintain full control over the technology as it becomes more powerful.
“When we develop superintelligence, we’re likely to make some decisions that public market investors would view very strangely,” Altman said at an event in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. “I like being non-conflicted,” he added when asked about his own lack of equity in the company, “and I think the chance that we have to make a very strange decision someday is non-trivial.”
imho, CEO Altman's decision to have no equity in the company is more than strange.

From what I've seen, parrots* have more actual intelligence than these web-scraping autocomplete language models. The chances that this will lead to some form of "superintelligence" seems to be pure wishful thinking / hype / marketing BS.

hi,
imho, there is, at present, a blurry semantic cloud, expanding as some strange attractor oscillates, surrounding the meaning and uses of the words "intelligence, sentience, consciousness."
is the cloud analogy nutritious, or, is it merely made of particles of hype ?
i see the shadow of a tipping-point, moving closer, faster, here.
cheers bill

Coinbase promises to continue operating, as Congress mulls new crypto rules. If you outlaw crypto, only outlaws will use crypto. Oh, wait.

Quote: Protections denied to Coinbase investors include "inspection by the SEC, recordkeeping requirements, and safeguards against conflicts of interest, among others," the press release said. SEC Chair Gary Gensler specified that "Coinbase’s alleged failures deprive investors of critical protections, including rulebooks that prevent fraud and manipulation, proper disclosure, safeguards against conflicts of interest, and routine inspection by the SEC."
"It is a feature, not a bug" according to those a**hats.
