Thankfully not everyone feels this way, and humanity continues to benefit from the work that PhD holders do.

That certainly would be nice, but the risk to the individual that they are just exploited on a meagre salary for 3-6 years to only benefit their advisor has become so large that I don't recommend doing a PhD to anyone (or at least think very hard and very diligently investigate the prospective advisor and the faculty). Even if this means we as a society are losing out on scientific discoveries.

Exploitation doesn't often end at certification. Academic world is very harsh for post-doc too. And permanent positions are rarer than degree holders.

Just the video:

Try to walk through a Wikipedia article having an LLM summarize every few paragraphs, its often wildly inaccurate.

It seems like any discussion concerning a social media or news media site is quickly filled with polarized takes on its users, editors, moderators, or the organization itself.

Why do you think that is? I no longer use socials outside of this one, and I know a strong element of my continuing use is the moderators and users.

Not sure, maybe its a consequence of being a social human?

A noscript tag on the landing page with a link to the repository's readme would be appreciated (or ssr the react). There are a small number of users who don't enable javascript for every domain.

thanks! glad i scrolled down that far until your comment :)

> How much time do you need to learn lyrics of a song? How much time do you think a LLaMA 3.1 8B on a 2x3090 need?

Probably not the best example. How long does it take to input song lyrics into a file to have an operating system "learn" it?

Well, that just shows that the metric of learning time is clearly flawed. Although one could argue LLaMA learns while OS just writes info down as is.

But even the sibling concept comment is wrong, because it takes 4 years for _most_ people who are even capable of programming to learn programming, and current LLMs all took much less than that.

> It's like saying that we can't simulate a computer in a Turing machine because a Turing machine doesn't have a USB port to connect a mouse.

I don't follow the analogy.
