That's not as bad then. It's still quite terrible though.

Well, they'll have to find some funds for an upgrade if they're worried about their network security. There's no such think as dirt cheap and secure when it comes to network equipment, it's one or the other.

Considering how those routers are dirt cheap for the most part, it's hardly a surprise they're more vulnerable. The military shouldn't be using bottom-shelf network hardware in the first place, it's not like they lack the funding to procure good quality hardware.

He probably meant "remove completely". Just toggling it off is useless if someone else has access to your computer and can enable it again. It's like disabling a webcam by disabling the driver VS unplugging it entirely.

If that's the case then we're probably looking at a crash eventually. If you need ad revenue to keep a business in the green and ads aren't one of your products then your business is in trouble.

It's just business really. The more popular a product is, the more fakes and scams there are.

Always gratifying to see costumers actually acting in their best interests for once. Even more gratifying to see it pay off.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cost significantly more than a good pc. That's a lot of storage space there, I doubt it's even in the same post code as cheap.

Just what we needed, even more expensive hardware.

Oh it's game changing, what I'm disputing is the timeline not the importance of the technology. As for our ability to predict the future, for every example either of us can find of an accurate prediction we can find another ten that badly missed the mark. As you yourself have stated...

And we had flying cars since the turn of the century. Or so the 50s expected. The truth is that technology rarely advances as fast as we expect it to and to believe we'll have human level AGIs available in less than a decade is just as unrealistic as the 50s and their expectations of flying...

Doubtful. And if it happens at all it certainly won't be in one or two years from now like he claims. General consensus, as much as it exists anyway, is that if it happens it will be decades to centuries from now.

Considering AI has been able to synthesize new music from old ones since the late 50s that's hardly surprising. The exponential gains you talked about above are entirely restricted to the output quality of AI. Image manipulation, response to input, music generation, text generation, AI has...

Hardly. It's not just a matter of resources, there are limits to language models and to machine learning as a field. There's a lot more to developing general AI than just pouring processing power into an language model. We're not even close yet.

So Musk is claiming that we'll develop a whole new type of AI that's several orders of magnitude more powerful than any we have available right now, in 2 years, using currently available technology? Yeah, even Jensen Huang wouldn't go that far and he's been doing nothing but hyping up AI these...
