I got my masters in machine learning years before LLMs took off. I’d usually tell people I work in “AI“. Even though it wasn’t quite accurate, people understood it easier than ML.

The conversations would inevitably turn to joking about Skynet or AI taking over the world. I would reassure people that these models are only mimicking intelligence; they can make predictions, or they can classify data into categories, or they can generate text, etc, based on analyzing the patterns of data they’ve previously seen, but that’s it. They don’t understand anything, they can’t make decisions or act on their own. I’d tell people there couldn’t be an AI apocalypse because we would never be dumb enough to give them that ability.

I don’t know why I gave us so much credit

I don’t really see how this game is a good premise for a movie. Portal is very funny and entertaining, but there’s plenty of funny and entertaining content out there. And the story isn’t special enough that losing the interactivity and the fun puzzle solving of the video game would make seeing a live-action Chell worth it. I’d much rather play Portal 3

This is the lamest controversy I’ve ever heard
