I appreciate your response and in this long form explanation of your view I find i agree (both in theory and in practice) with most of what you wrote.

You've worked in ML since 2012 but dont think transformers have had an absolutely insane impact, for example in NLP and machine translation? (I have worked in those fields longer than that and while I dont think AGI or anything like that is coming from transformers and deep neural nets I think you are full of it if you dont admit they have revolutionized a large number of [highly technical] fields).

When google glass came out (2012 or 13) it was absolutely hilarious living in the bay and regularly riding muni (public bus) in the mission. I saw multiple people run into the door/poles/etc and also multiple people get their glasses ripped off their face and stomped on. Bus driver just shrugged, bus patrons applauded. I'm no luddite and all for technology but even more for consent.

Sounds like Sharif don't like it.

Even worse, since he sent the letter to the wrong fucking country that has nothing to do with Greenland except being a NATO member state.

I mean, Salesforce is clearly different than Lockheed Martin, even if they do business with all sorts of companies (many of whom I wouldn't personally want to be in business with).

I've specifically found b2b software at least a bit less creepy and invasive - I've done applied ML for many many years and prefer enterprise b2b vs consumer tech because of this.

Won't necessarily go over well on Lemmy but still want to brag a bit. My company got bought by salesforce, life changing for my kids' kids (let alone me and my wife). Had a meeting this week with Marx Benioff and he said "I dont care about that i want to hear that v_krishna thinks" and then spent 15 minutes on the spot answering his questions.

It's very obvious in this thread that you have hands on experience and many others do not. 20+ years professional SWE here, a majority of it applied ML/big data/etc. LLMs are really bad at many things but specifically using them as a natural language layer over NPC interactions would be relatively easy and seems like a great use case honestly.

The problem becomes when the interviewees know it is a bit (this is why Sasha Baron Cohen eventually got stale, or Tom Green before him)

Doot doot give thank.
