It’s not just availability of data but the training required to make sense of the data. AI is still not capable of training itself outside of simple unsupervised learning techniques like clustering and anomaly detection; the human supervised training is the real secret sauce of OpenAI. I wonder if AI trainer is going to be one of those new human jobs that AI proponents keep insisting will be created.

I would probably have a few. I’d want a responsible one, a fun one, and a crazy one. It’d be like a conversation tree in an RPG where there’s always a good answer, a silly answer, and an insane answer. I need that option to make me laugh (and occasionally listen to).

turn on Roomba

walk away

hear it fucking the underside of your couch five minutes later

put up a virtual wall, reposition it, restart it

hear it chewing up the cord to your floor lamp

pull the brush out, unwind the cord, put the brush back in, restart it

it complains the brush is dirty

pull the brush out, cut all the hair off with scissors, get the hair out of the little cap hole thing, restart it

tiny container is full, leaves balls of stuff all over

pull out the tray, dump it in the trash, reinsert it, restart, walk away

Roomba starts fucking the back of a chair until it runs out of batteries

get out actual vacuum cleaner

Japanese also has among the shortest gaps between the speaker finishing their sentence and the listener replying. There are so many early indicators within the sentence priming the user to expect a certain path of meaning ("This may be a little strange, but…" or "If" occurring at the beginning, or a series of noun modifiers before introducing the subject, etc.) that the last few words of a sentence are often a formality and sometimes omitted altogether. You’d be surprised how infrequently people are truly listening all the way to the end, they are usually thinking of their reply halfway through.

Well, imagine if people have their own personal AIs who can do exhaustive research and make informed decisions on their behalf. Essentially those people would be letting their AIs vote for them, if not directly then just by informing them of what is maximally beneficial for them and influencing their decisions.

I would imagine that would improve government overall. Given a hundred years, it could even lead to abolishing representatives and just having a direct democracy for every issue.

Wouldn’t the applications follow the tech though? Maybe the applications are so limited today because engineers recognize brute force methods as inefficient and solve them via classical computing methods instead. If future computing problems are crafted to become structured more like quantum computing problems (evaluating millions of potential possibilities vs. attempting to craft a single solution up front), it seems there are a lot of applications possible.
