Yeah they haven’t made much of an impact yet but I’m almost certain they’ll help improve biological models in the future.
Check out INDRA (http://www.indra.bio/). It uses standard NLP tech to convert natural language references to computational models. But, that old school NLP is pretty limited in “understanding” context and details and so the models it makes aren't really comparable to human built models. LLM’s could change that, building really high quality, correct models. That opens up the possibility that we could take all of the biological knowledge in papers and integrate it into models we could use to make much more detailed predictions about cellular behavior.
That said, there’s a ton of work to be done to make it reliable and validate the results.
This sentiment is humorous, as I'm an optimist apparently. More children will learn more quickly. Applying AI to education should supercharge the smartest.
I don't know but it also fails to disregard that the smartest people (whatever that means) can have executive function issues that are orthogonal to their mental capacity.
Additionally, the belief that intelligence alone will improve the world is misguided imo. You need empathetic, intelligent people.
You must be an optimist if you think what passes for AI right now could in any way help education. It's an incredibly useful tool, but not in the way you almost certainly are thinking.
Software engineer is the new yuppy. I reckon the majority of users here work for either 'evil' companies or frankly useless ones which is just as bad IMO. Meanwhile we have historical happenings between social, environmental, and health issues that they could contribute to but otherwise take fat paychecks and bury their heads in the sand.
I am not sure why your comment ended up killed. It is literally true that the highest paid tech workers are employed by very shady companies. I don't exclusively mean FAANGs but also outfits such as Palantir. A large plurality of other devs pursue the startup dream or hawk products of questionable utility.
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? We ban accounts that do this because we're trying for a different sort of forum here.
Obviously Douyin is censored, everything in China is, but there's a loooong history of cat and mouse as apps and creators push the envelope and the state stomps down when they go too far.
In which way are they a monopoly? Is that US specific? In the UK/EU there are at least half a dozen different tractor brands which I could name, all of them with significant market share.
I don't think a brand being fashionable, to a middle aged demographic, makes them a monopoly. They're just popular. There are plenty of other similar bikes that can be bought.
edit: I'm an idiot. I read the comment as being about Harley Davidson.
