[Technology] Artificial Intelligence

[Iggle Piggle]

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.

The correct use of AI

OpenAI's Operator is pretty mad.

It will operate the web for you (AI agents using keyboard and mouse), searching around for best prices, filling in forms etc.

... leaving you to do more important stuff - like, er, posting crap on NSC.



Not in UK yet, mind.

Future use case:

"Find me a 7-day holiday in Greece for all my family during May half-term, less than £800 a head, hotel must have water slides and be within 1 mile of beach, flight out after 8pm"

(It will know/learn our ages, what schools my kids go to/when half-term is, that my nearest airport is Gatwick etc)

It would present options, ask if you wanted to go ahead and book for you.

What are we gonna do with all our spare time, eh?
