My skepticism still primarily resides in the cost scaling component of most AI products/services.
Companies are eating a lot of the cost right now, until when do we continue with such an approach?
At this rate, I suspect we'll end up with how "search" ended, prioritised ad results and subpar experiences beyond that.

Really? I think interruption and timing in general still seems like a problem that has yet to be solved. It was the most janky aspect of the demos imo.
Yeah, seemed smooth enough but now that I look back it, demo conditions are too perfect which may have made it seem that way.
The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.
Crazy that interruption also seems to work pretty smoothly
This looks too good to be true? What's the catch?
Also, wasn't expecting the perf to improve by 2x
Happy New Year everyone!
HN has been very insightful and although I don't post often, just lurking and reading the articles/comments makes me realise how shit I am
And although I'm not in the best frame of mind right now, I hope 2024 will be a year where I can change my career around. Much love to everyone here

I have a simple front-end test that I give to junior devs. Every few months I see if ChatGPT can pass it. It hasn’t. It can’t. It isn’t even close.
It answers questions confidently but with subtle inaccuracies. The code that it produces is the same kind of non-sense that you get from recent bootcamp devs who’ve “mastered” the 50 technologies on their eight page résumé.
If it’s gotten better, I haven’t noticed.
Self-driving trucks were going to upend the trucking industry in ten years, ten years ago. The press around LLMs is identical. It’s neat but how long are these things going to do the equivalent of revving to 100 mph before slamming into a wall every time you ask them to turn left?
I’d rather use AI to connect constellations of dots that no human possibly could, have an expect verify the results, and go from there. I have no idea when we’re going to be able to “gpt install <prompt>” to get a new CLI tool or app, but, it’s not going to be soon.
What is the test?
No, Paul Edwin Zimmer did not write a fourth novel in the Dark Border series. The trilogy consists of "The Dark Border," "The Dark Border: The Return," and "The Dark Border: The Reckoning." After these, he focused on other projects and did not continue the series.
> As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, Paul Edwin Zimmer did not publish a fourth novel in the Dark Border series. The series comprises three books: > 1. The Lost Prince (1982) > 2. King Chondos' Ride (1982) > 3. A Gathering of Heroes (1987) > > Paul Edwin Zimmer had plans to continue the series, but he passed away in 1997 before any additional novels were completed or published. There have been no posthumous releases of a fourth Dark Border novel. If there have been developments after October 2023, I recommend checking recent publications or official announcements for the most up-to-date information.
