Exactly. MSFT is who won here. I highly recommend you all watch OpenAI section of the new ALL-IN Podcast. Sam and OpenAI is in a very bad situation if Elon gets heard by a fair judge.
A 'fair judge'? You mean one that applies the law? Most of the experts I've seen say the case has no chance. Or are you saying this is another 4d chess move like what happened with Twitter?
I refuse to use any social media like Tiktok, Insta, FB as I know how bad it is for my brain. The younger generation doesn't seem to get this yet. I'll stick to my highly curated X whereby I know I will learn something new when I open it.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are all fine but I've never felt any desire to explore them. For me, TikTok has been genuinely delightful and interesting to scroll through. I don't think the TikTok algorithm can quite keep up with my diverse interests (absurdist humor, dance, memes, antique machinery, home improvement, wind turbine and power transmission, cats, etc.), but it has still done a great job of showing me interesting, educational, and emotional (e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/@pinupandpigeons/video/71582333179874...) things. It definitely displays too many "Live" and "Shop" videos in my feed for my liking, but it also has the most prominent anti-influencer and anti-consumer content I've seen on social networks. TikTok has really changed my thinking about the youngest generation. Before I probably saw the youngest generation as spoiled brats who are ruining everything. Now I see there there plenty of interesting, creative, dedicated, and hard working young people who are probably the best hope for saving things from the spoiled geriatric ruling class that is too immature and selfish to not hoard and consume everything they can, future generations be damned.
I have found X/Twitter to be way more insular and less educational than TikTok, personally. TikTok has a lot of dumb trendy stuff, but also some really interesting niche channels.
I don't even use TikTok and I know this is a ridiculously naive take.
TikTok is where all of the content is. Its algorithm is designed to optimize for exactly what you want to see. That's why they're the biggest.
If you're into 3D zbrush art, that's what you're getting. If you like hardware hacking, HDR birdwatching, stem cell culturing, and Blender node exploring, guess what? You're getting that content.
Do you want to learn everything there is to know about kettlebells? You're in luck.
All of the creators, many of the best, are on there putting great stuff out all day.
You're sleeping at the wheel if you think everyone is equally logging in and just doomscrolling through dance videos.
When I was younger I joined "AGI" lab once, only to find out that I joined a GOFAI lab. That was rough. The CEO didn't believe in statistical learning because your system can only be as good as your data, and believed it wasn't actually "thinking" when you would interact with a DL system
"Thinking" is one of the most annoying words in AI.
It has no clear, stable definition, and I think that that might actually be its entire point. If we ever settled on a concrete, operationalizable definition, that would bring a quick end to the arguments about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
