About 130 years ago, a scientist made a discovery that he could expose photographic paper to emissions from a glass tube and it went straight through human flesh and formed an image.
It was astonishing, interesting, and he reported it and the entire world went batshit crazy, completely bananas.

The Attention is All You Need paper started the LLM gold rush, but it initially came from Google scientists who only expected it to do language translation.

Chris Lehane is making our Governments Work for creepy AI companies

Hey all, I’ve looked better and felt better! But after getting out of hospital I just wanted to show that I am on the mend, and will be back writing in the coming days.
Hospital stays are not fun, and for 7 days involving rigors and being on a drip was awful. But I’m back, and getting healthy again…
Working through a series by Lesser Dog Tutorials on how to make a LucasArts style point and click adventure in Blueprints, I have instead of using Blueprints I have been translating everything into C++, and it’s so much fun.

I have been struggling to write this article, and figure out what to do with this cartoon / diagram I made about the alleged use of stolen books by AI companies for weeks now. The sheer scale and brazen bullying greed of these guys just astonishes me.
I believe startups and technology have the abil…
