Entropy: 50 Shades of Smarty Pants

If a chatbot writes a complete essay from a short prompt, the entropy of the essay must be exactly that of the initial prompt, no matter the length of the final product.

Ellison said Oracle will add AI Vector Search to Oracle Database 23c. Includes a new vector data type, vector indexes, and vector search SQL operators for storing unstructured data as vectors. Goal: Run fast similarity queries. pic.twitter.com/lKOUpzf9rB

The Rest of the Story: Five years ago Ellison also said the autonomous database was very cool. What he didnt say then was "it was not used by a majority of our customers. Even inside Oracle it wasn't used by Fusion, or NetSuite." #CloudWorld2023 pic.twitter.com/ITJ0ZCsvaP

Content Delivery for Metaverse and Digital Twins - Panel - ACM

 

Geoff: 

the metaverse application would require kind of some form of a ubiquitous

content Discovery local content Discovery uh and not even working with

the servers like some completely distributed fashion operations so I'm kind of curious what Jeff Jeff Houston

thinks uh about what the existing infrastructure so are we still need to imagine those applications

within the existing infrastructure or we still we really want to imagine applications and then think of how they

need what kind of infrastructure if any need to be added like in into the

existence to support those imaginative models now I'm just trying to bring to to the

comment that uh we're not gonna do anything new or anything new is doomed

until we can do it cheaper well you know infrastructure investment

is really really hard and what we've seen in the last 10 years is a complete Revolution

in the infrastructure of today's internet this is not a peer-to-peer Network

over the last 10 years the only folk who will be building some and financing submarine cables the only folk who have

been tipping money into the plant have actually been content distribution Networks

the traditional Carriage sector the telcos have been investing nothing the internet is actually a Last Mile

Access Network full stop your packets travel to the nearest Data Center and intersect with a variety of

content distribution points of presence there is no end to end there is no peer

to peer anymore that is a marginal business that doesn't attract profit

what attracts profit is actually streaming YouTube is streaming Netflix streaming Amazon Prime video you know

etc etc and the infrastructure has actually subtly morphed to do precisely

that and no more right the only focus I said building

long-distance Transit infrastructure is actually to interconnect the content Data Systems it's nothing to do with

users packets anymore that's a loss making opportunity that no one wants to do so when you talk about overlaying

some pan CDN metaverse context across a

world of disparate highly aggregating and highly competitive service Networks

you're dreaming you're dreaming because each of them see themselves in a capture mode of users

the same way as we saw the bulletin board world in the 1980s exclusive

capture interoperability is not a feature of today's network not a feature and so

when you dream of these all-embracing environments these metaverse style environments

then how exactly you're going to do that becomes a really really big issue in

today's Network because today's network has gone in an entirely separate Direction entirely

who's going to pay to recover a peer-to-peer network with huge Transit

capability that's not cheap and all of the money is currently with

alphabet with apple with Amazon with you know meta all of the investment money is tied up

in a model that is almost antithetical to what you're talking about here

so when you want to talk about the multi-billion or trillion dollar capital investment it's not going to come from Santa Claus

or the Easter Bunny you know you actually need a case where either users are going to pay good luck

or some third party is going to pay I.E advertising why would I jump from

advertising on Google and Amazon and Facebook jump from advertising there to jump to advertising in some kind of

metaverse what's the business case and the issue is you're dreaming that these things are

remarkably difficult to disrupt and unless the value package you offer is

completely revolutionary by stripping cost and you drag customers in by making

it cheaper not more expensive you haven't got a hope and this is the reality we've learned,
