[Technology] Artificial Intelligence

I'm never sure if I'd consider the government being good at IT to be a good thing.
Considering the amount they mess up now, imagine the damage they could cause once they've mastered become basically competent at computing.

Government outsource nearly all their IT projects. There are a plethora of things bids are managed against but the biggest weighting is always price. You therefore end up with the cheapest bidder because that is the one that hasn't been thought through properly. Rinse and repeat.

Government will never ever be competent or even manage their own IT.

Personally, I hand write all my NSC points and print out my daily copy of the Guardian.

I got a letter in the post today (which I immediately threw in the bin). It's the first one I've had in 6 months.

Well…..

Part of me thinks I’d give a right bollock to get involved in OpenAI and know the inside track. And a lot of me says SIX interviews? It’s a dreadful modern trend in tech and almost always run by highly insecure and risk adverse management teams.

I agree with your comments about the number of interviews. To get into Meta, he had 9!

How the hell does anybody have 9 interviews for a job?

It’s one of several trends in tech that are the subject of big debate on LinkedIn.

I personally think it’s ridiculous.

I had four for my current role and I was approached by them!

I'm also slightly bewildered by how anybody has a big debate on LinkedIn.
In my experience it's just people saying "Really good building links with the geotechnics team in Altrincham today!!"

Other teams and office locations are obviously available.

Can AI play LB?

 

[raymondo]

Do you think we haven't? The internet has been the biggest revolution since electricity.

I know you are right - my replies weren't totally serious. I've been having a bad week with both technology and paperwork .

another theory about Sam Altman is he's been trying to raise investment to start a new AI dedicated chip company.

the AI algos rely on chips and source data, which is why we are no where near artifical general intelligence, state of the art is still done through brute force computing.
