  • > A user’s identity is their domain name.

    That's dead on arrival. The domain name system is one of the core reasons why everything has become so centralized in the first place. If one wants to fix anything wrong with the Internet, finding a better way to naming things should be the first step.

    Instead of interacting with the cloud model directly, run a simple local model to interact with the cloud model and have it filter out all the ads before they reach you.

    This is already what the chatbots do when it comes to interacting with rest of the Web, instead of you visiting websites yourself, they collect the information from the websites for you and present it in a format of your choice without the websites ads.

    I don't see the ad model working out for chatbots in the long run given that those AI models already are the perfect ad filter.

  • Grokipedia is at 6,092,140 articles, English Wikipedia has 7,141,148. So it's pretty close already after just four months.

  • I use Gemini for that. Split the PDF into 50 page chunks, throw it into aistudio and ask it to convert it. A couple of 1000 pages can be done with the free tier.

  • > structured language that eliminates ambiguity

    That has been tried for almost half a century in the form of Cyc[1] and never accomplished much.

    The proper solution here is to provide the LLM with more context, context that will likely be collected automatically by wearable devices, screen captures and similar pervasive technology in the not so distant future.

    This kind of quick trick questions are exactly the same thing humans fail at if you just ask them out of the blue without context.
