The AGI hype train is running out of steam

The AGI hype train has hit some heavy traffic. While futurists and fundraisers used to make bullish predictions about artificial general intelligence, they’ve become quieter lately. Peter Thiel — the tech billionaire and rumored vampire — says Silicon Valley big brains have lost enthusiasm for AGI. “Elon’s not talking about it anymore and Larry [Page] is off to Fiji and doesn’t seem to be working on it quite as hard,” Thiel said at a recent event.

Apple выпустила Mac с багом в ПЗУ. 35 лет его спасала некорректно закодированная инструкция 68030

Автор обнаружил это в MAME, проверил на настоящем Classic II и выяснил, почему современные эмуляторы до сих пор воспроизводят работу этого компьютера неточно. Читать расследование Read more
