They’re common in clouds like Azure, AWS, etc. Life is better with ssh, but sometimes these are useful for bastions.

I think tools like Open Collective, Ko-fi, et al. are sort of that already. So you’d be building centralization atop centralization. That may be useful, but it is another place that would require a rake to keep the lights on, so again less money donated.
And what happens if two or more such services exist? Then you need a layer above that.
Yeah, a good idea. You run into some material strength issues, but I think this is the way.
Here is a great video on spin gravity. It covers an important detail that another comment mentions but most over look. Spinning fast enough to create gravity-like centrifugal force causes real dizziness at small diameters. 5 or 6 rpm is about the maximum we can stand.
Sort of person that says “and a half” after their age.
If I say “A screwdriver is a tool,” and “The brain is a tool,” am I then saying “The brain is just like a screwdriver”? Or is it possible that applying seconding order logic to an admittedly and clearly reductive statement I made isn’t productive?
And which part of the brain description is inaccurate, specifically?
There is active research right now for their use in pure maths. I don’t think it is primarily about direct solutions, but in program synthesis for formal logic. Keep in mind this isn’t just LLM’s, but also graph networks and other non-transformer networks.
That isn’t likely to happen. Fortunately, neither have I said that. But a pithy comeback won’t change the accuracy of the brain being a self-assembling probabilistic network. All your memories, experiences, and emotions are part of that.
We are nearly precisely that. The brain functions as a massive, self-organizing neural network where cognitive architecture is determined by the strength of connections (the biological equivalent of adjustable computational weights) that modulate signal transmission via the flow of ions.
Every decision made or breath taken is the outcome of how ions flow through this network.
More capable than the crowd here lets on. My take is like this, unchecked capitalism is a danger to mankind. The pervasiveness of LLM’s right now is just a symptom of that. The rich are the problem, not the AI.
It is a tool; a very good one along many axes. I think people that think it isn’t good for writing code are misinformed or intentionally disingenuous. It is extremely good at that, but it is just a tool not a replacement.
But it is the applications in pure maths, virology, protein folding, etc. where it gets really interesting.
Water consumption, power consumption, and profit motives aside, they are fascinating tools.
That said, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies is a fascinating take on how this could all go wrong.
In any case, I can’t understand the people that say stuff like, “It is just autocomplete on steroids,” or “it is just a probabilistic prediction tool.” Okay, but like… that’s all we are too.
Summary, interesting tools being used for profit at the expense of economies, the environment, and creative fields.

The truly terrifying outcome is that it works after changing nothing. Sometimes bugs are the most fun to squash.
