"In my lifetime, I’ve seen two demonstrations of technology that struck me as revolutionary.

"The first time was in 1980, when I was introduced to a graphical user interface—the forerunner of every modern operating system, including Windows. I sat with the person who had shown me the demo, a brilliant programmer named Charles Simonyi, and we immediately started brainstorming about all the things we could do with such a user-friendly approach to computing. Charles eventually joined Microsoft, Windows became the backbone of Microsoft, and the thinking we did after that demo helped set the company’s agenda for the next 15 years.

The second big surprise came just last year. I’d been meeting with the team from OpenAI since 2016 and was impressed by their steady progress. In mid-2022, I was so excited about their work that I gave them a challenge: train an artificial intelligence to pass an Advanced Placement biology exam. Make it capable of answering questions that it hasn’t been specifically trained for. (I picked AP Bio because the test is more than a simple regurgitation of scientific facts—it asks you to think critically about biology.) If you can do that, I said, then you’ll have made a true breakthrough.

I thought the challenge would keep them busy for two or three years. They finished it in just a few months.

In September, when I met with them again, I watched in aw ...

Yea, he failed with 'internet', was nothing much he said...

Just watch when US DOD starts using AI
computahs are immune to radiation..

Nuking will be the standard

huming beans... not important..

They stole every bit of the idea and methodology from Xerox.

The best part about Windows was it wasn't DOS. Now it's coming to light Microsoft didn't even originate DOS- as if that stone age simplicity was any kind of achievement anyway. The general science of operating system architecture was highly advanced at the time.

The Petrov incident must have been a satellite based infrared sensor. All they get off those is a 2-D projection. It takes multiple views, and sophisticated correlation algorithms, to get a 3-D track. The Russian EWS obviously didn't have a 3-D track, because random reflections off clouds do not fit a ballistic missile trajectory. So it's sort of unbelievable their system would allow it generate an early warning alert.
