One metric I wish they could gather is what level of experience developers had and whether the same errors were minimized after becoming aware on how to avoid it. In any case, I'm glad they're spending time and effort on error observability and, of course, your work on the compiler team. Thanks
@rustrover@techhub.social
I wonder @ekuber if you have any opinion on these findings. Are any of these types of errors better handled by the compiler itself? Did you find any of these surprising?
Thanks.
The comments in this post just tell me how accustomed we are to the most superficial use of computers.
Reminds me of Silo.
I can only imagine what we could do if we had the epiphany of what we can do with it.

And just as I wrote yesterday on using AI to fix AI issues, OpenAI releases a paper on an approach to do just that:

I wish people would perceive any AI issues - take hallucinations as an example - as a problem that would be solved by another AI or more specifically, another AI algorithm.
Take ChatGPT which is really GPT + RL. Transformers are incredible but equally impressive are RLs. What would a second pass through RLs do for source verification? And that's assuming that the RL already in place - mostly done by human testers, btw - isn't enough to handle all current issues.

Will the EU stop using Windows? What's the alternative? Will they stop using Google? Will they stop using Chrome?
Could someone please send those regulators a copy of von Neumann's Theory of Games and Economic Behavior? The guy is rolling in his grave.
AI Comes Before EU
1/
Folks, is it me or is the EU AI Act like an episode of Tom and Jerry? Let me be clear, the EU is in no position to dictate anything to an AI company it doesn't have jurisdiction over. While they're rushing to edit the last details of the act out - probably with ChatGPT - Microsoft this week is demoing Copilot - think of it as ChatGPT for everything you do on a computer - as core of Windows 11 which is scheduled in beta next month and out to all by December.

What's not talked about enough is the changes this and other drugs have over gut microbiome and the effect it has on us.
Free will is an illusion, so much so that we convince ourselves we're our own masters.
In the meantime...
If Apple actually releases their XR glasses, I wonder what the mindshare split will be between developing for the new hotness or the current AI fervor stimulated by ChatGPT and Bard.
Tech is actually fun again.

Pretty neat file-sharing if you need to host your own...
Here's a mess in the making...
Under Citizens United, companies are individuals. An individual can read a copyrighted book from any public library as long as there's availability. OpenAI - an individual person - checks out a book and feeds it to ChatGPT. Book author and publisher sue OpenAI for reading the book with ChatGPT. Who wins?
Even better... OpenAI licenses all books from Library of Congress. By paying, OpenAI gets full access. Who wins?
Hey Apple, bring back Dark Sky and sunset the current Weather app. Do us all a favor, please.
Dark Sky had a humane UI, better reports, up to the minute rain alerts, etc. Just do the right thing and bring it back.

This is such a European world and economic worldview. The post should’ve been contextualized from the start so readers could see the rationale behind it. Hardly any of these economic views and study cited apply to Americans. The US just has different philosophies and implementation on work, productivity and market dynamics.
If you're thinking of quitting your AI research job over fears of AI taking over the world, please don't. Ask yourself some questions before doing so:
Are any of the dangers of a nefarious AI future happening now or in the past?
Run some Game Theory exercises and consider the plausible outcomes. Run them between researchers, universities, companies and governments.
Have you considered the positive outcomes of your work?
