‘Everything is Going to Be Robotic’ Nvidia Promises, as AI Gets More Real
AI Explained1. The impact of AI on jobs is not necessarily an apocalypse, but rather depends on decisions made by policy makers and organizations.
2. AI can lead to wage inequality, with low wages for many but higher profits for companies.
3. The negative use of AI, such as generating disinformation campaigns, does not necessarily prove that AI models are useless. Better benchmarks and unbiased leaderboards are needed to evaluate AI models.
What Happens If There's ZERO AI Regulation?
a16z1. Big Tech companies may push for regulations not for safety, but to maintain a monopoly.
2. Some AI applications may need to be regulated, such as deep fakes, but technological solutions should also be considered.
3. Copyright laws should be expanded to include voice copyright, as it is currently not possible to copyright a voice. The issue of how close a voice can be to a copyrighted voice before violating copyright needs to be addressed.
With AI, Anyone Can Be a Coder Now | Thomas Dohmke | TED
TED1. LEGO is a system that allows for creativity with no barriers to entry, and this is why it is loved by many. Similarly, the goal of GitHub is to make it easy for developers to build ideas with code.
2. In the past, building software required professional software developers who understood complex coding languages. However, with the introduction of ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, the process of building software has become more accessible to everyone.
3. The large language models used in ChatGPT and Copilot are trained on a vast library of human information, enabling them to understand and interpret nearly every human language. This fusion of human and machine language allows for easier software development in any human language.
4. Copilot is a powerful tool that predicts and completes code for developers, making the coding process more efficient and intuitive. It also allows for interaction through chat and voice commands.
5. Copilot Workspace takes the accessibility of software development even further by allowing users to create code through natural language prompts and specifications, without the need for coding knowledge.
6. The future of software development will see a globalized groundswell of software developers, with the possibility of having over one billion software developers on platforms like GitHub. This will lead to a new renaissance of human creativity with software.
