10 years ago I would have disagreed with you vehemently, but now I agree with you. Every new EU regulation makes my life worse, and very few of them actually address systemic issues re competition which would make my life better. This is one such example. The law is crystal clear, Apple is in clear violation, and the Commission allows them to continue. I cannot believe this. I'm honestly stunned.
This comment gives a sliver of hope for us currently outside academia and in low income academic institutions: enthusiastic laypeople with access (read: funds) to the SOTA models can collaborate with destitute researchers to produce research the academic alone could not.
Plus, as a non-expert, you will naturally want to understand more about what you are proving together with the expert. LLMs can help there, too, by carving a path from elementary mathematics to the research problem more efficiently and in a more targeted manner than a generic exposition or survey.
That could give birth to a beautiful research-exposition pair that can benefit both academics and interested laypeople, who have (rightfully, but inevitably) felt excluded from the insights of high level research. I have long hoped for something like that. There, however, the academic must watch the LLM like a hawk, because expository interpretation of results is prime ground for hallucinations, and adversarial agents will not have much effect in improving it.
overall, the quality of products has been going downhill.
AI is not there yet, instead of working hard, everyone is choosing the easy way out.
AI slop wins prize, I wonder if Ai slop read it also. would not be surprised. however not to judge anyone, I think we are seeing slop everywhere, hope some things still require hard blocks for low quality.
its difficult to justify lack of attention and details
the bottleneck was never the software, that is the ship we ride,
people, are part of a team focused on a goal, they work together because they believe in that the ship is worth riding on and will reach its destination,
the ship should carry food people want,
team decides what food will be consumed,
captain tries first the food,
if food is good and people want it, people buy more
