At least one misleading source from the article: when talking about the limitations of Uber's self-driving tech, the author links to a source mentioning Uber may be paying license fees to Waymo for their AV tech, insinuating that Uber is unable to move its AV program forward on their own. The article linked actually mentions Uber being court-ordered to pay for the tech (the Lewandowski case)
God forbid that it takes more than a few days for decent chat bots to appear on Reddit from a troll farm in eastern europe/china/wherever based on these new models. Or has that already happened, and we're simply unaware?
Already done. It really feels like new dark times are upon us, this time not because of a lack of writings, but because of automated garbage arriving quickly. Previously one had to hire some writers to write crappy ad-driven garbage articles, soon you can do a 1-person operation for that.
The question we should be asking is how much retraining had to occur to accomplish the new task? If it's significantly less than to the accomplish the original task, the algorithm has transferred its latent knowledge from the original task to the new task, which is significant.
