I have been thinking about how we slowly give our mental tasks to technology. Each major invention takes a job away from our brains:

Writing -> We stopped needing to remember everything (outsourced memory)

Printing Press -> We stopped needing to copy knowledge by hand

Calculators -> We stopped doing math in our heads

The Internet -> We stopped needing to "know" facts. We just look them up

LLMs -> We are starting to give away reasoning and combining ideas

What is next?

Soon, AI will likely handle:

- Planning

- Ideas

- Execution

What remains for us?

If AI does the "thinking" and the "doing," maybe humans are left with only:

- Experiencing: Feeling what it is like to be alive

- Choosing: Deciding what we actually want

- Valuing: Deciding what is important or "good."

- Being aware: Just being a witness to the process

And not sure if these are "safe" human roles? Or will AI eventually take over "choosing" and "valuing" too? If an algorithm knows what you want before you do, is our consciousness still in control?

I'm exploring the relationship between the number of parameters in Transformer networks and the range of tasks they can perform. Basically I would like to know that networks of these order of magnitude in size are capable of doing "X" type of tasks. I also wonder what are capable of very small networks. Do you know any good sources, papers, or discussions about that.

300k orders a month Is in already a big scale system? If we define that large scale system requires many servers is it possible to handle such amount on single server, and all others solutions which require 10-20 servers on AWS are over over engineered.

What should I do if I found my self a target for a hacker who specifically targets me for about a month? I am looking for a checklist, so I am sure that I didn't miss anything important. Basically, I would like something more than just advice about changing all passwords to more secure.
