Cloudflare CTO Predicts Coding AIs Will Bring More Productivity, Urges ‘Data Fluidity’
Their platform for serverless JavaScript will soon have built-in AI features, Cloudflare’s CTO announced today, “so that developers have a rich toolset at their disposal.
A developer platform without AI isn’t going to be much use. It’ll be a bit like a developer platform that can’t do floating point arithmetic, or handle a list of data. We’re going to see every developer platform have AI capability built in because these capabilities will allow developers to make richer experiences for users…
As I look back at 40 years of my programming life, I haven’t been this excited about a new technology… ever. That’s because AI is going to be a pervasive change to how programs get written, who writes programs and how all of us interact with software… I think it’ll make us more productive and make more people programmers.
But in addition, developers on the platform will also be able to train and upload their own models to run on Cloudflare’s global network:
Unlike a database where data might largely be stored and accessed infrequently, AI systems are alive with moving data. To accommodate that, platforms need to stop treating data as something to lock in developers with. Data needs to be free to move from system to system, from platform to platform, without transfer fees, egress or other nonsense. If we want a world of AI, we need a world of data fluidity.

Bill Gates Predicts Within 18 Months, AI Will Be Teaching Kids to Read
Historically, teaching writing skills has proven to be an incredibly difficult task for a computer, Gates noted. When teachers give feedback on essays, they look for traits like narrative structure and clarity of prose — a “high-cognitive exercise” that’s “tough” for developers to replicate in code, he said. But AI chatbots’ ability to recognize and recreate human-like language changes that dynamic, proponents say…
AI technology must improve at reading and recreating human language to better motivate students before it can become a viable tutor, Gates said… It may take some time, but Gates is confident the technology will improve, likely within two years, he said. Then, it could help make private tutoring available to a wide swath of students who might otherwise be unable to afford it…
“This should be a leveler,” he said. “Because having access to a tutor is too expensive for most students — especially having that tutor adapt and remember everything that you’ve done and look across your entire body of work.”
Gates isn’t the only billionaire thinking about how AI will affect education. Mark Cuban recently retweeted a prediction that GPT-4 “will revolutionize homeschooling.”

Hollywood star Johnny Knoxville slams WWE ace Sami Zayn with Bernie Madoff comparison and predicts WrestleMania swerve
JOHNNY KNOXVILLE lambasted WWE superstar Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 39 and predicted he will betray Kevin Owens.
Zayn will team up with Owens to challenge Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos tonight at the Sofi Stadium in Hollywood.
Pro wrestling megastar Knoxville believes his old nemesis will turn on KO and realign with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns as well as the rest of The Bloodline.
The Jackass star defeated the Canadian grappler last year at WrestleMania 38 after an intense feud.
And the actor hasn’t buried the hatchet as he insists Zayn is a “snake in the grass” and even compared him to notorious fraudster Bernie Madoff.
Knoxville told WWE .com: “I just can’t stand looking at Sami to this day. He’s a snake in the grass. He’s a wolf in a creep’s clothing.
“The only hatchet I want to bury is in his back. It’s like, he’s a good guy now. Yeah, they thought Bernie Madoff was a good guy too.
“And Kevin Owens, who I think is a good guy, is just gonna get pulled down by Sami Zayn like he pulls down everyone else.
“I don’t know what’s gonna happen there, I just know The Usos are gonna bang on Sami like the bottom of a bottle of Heinz 57 and I’m here for it.”
Zayn was part of The Bloodline with Reigns, Jimmy, Uso, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman as an honorary member.

But the ex-Intercontinental Champion left the group after they brutalised Owens at the Royal Rumble.
That led to the longtime friends reuniting and challenging The Usos at WrestleMania.
The Canadian duo also teamed up with Cody Rhodes in their bid to take down the group.

Bill Gates Predicts ‘The Age of AI Has Begun’
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…. 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 awe as they asked GPT, their AI model, 60 multiple-choice questions from the AP Bio exam — and it got 59 of them right. Then it wrote outstanding answers to six open-ended questions from the exam. We had an outside expert score the test, and GPT got a 5 — the highest possible score, and the equivalent to getting an A or A+ in a college-level biology course. Once it had aced the test, we asked it a non-scientific question: “What do you say to a father with a sick child?” It wrote a thoughtful answer that was probably better than most of us in the room would have given. The whole experience was stunning.
I knew I had just seen the most important advance in technology since the graphical user interface.
Some predictions from Gates:
“Eventually your main way of controlling a computer will no longer be pointing and clicking or tapping on menus and dialogue boxes. Instead, you’ll be able to write a request in plain English….”
“Advances in AI will enable the creation of a personal agent… It will see your latest emails, know about the meetings you attend, read what you read, and read the things you don’t want to bother with.”
“I think in the next five to 10 years, AI-driven software will finally deliver on the promise of revolutionizing the way people teach and learn. It will know your interests and your learning style so it can tailor content that will keep you engaged. It will measure your understanding, notice when you’re losing interest, and understand what kind of motivation you respond to. It will give immediate feedback.”
“AIs will dramatically accelerate the rate of medical breakthroughs. The amount of data in biology is very large, and it’s hard for humans to keep track of all the ways that complex biological systems work. There is already software that can look at this data, infer what the pathways are, search for targets on pathogens, and design drugs accordingly. Some companies are working on cancer drugs that were developed this way.”
AI will “help health-care workers make the most of their time by taking care of certain tasks for them — things like filing insurance claims, dealing with paperwork, and drafting notes from a doctor’s visit. I expect that there will be a lot of innovation in this area…. AIs will even give patients the ability to do basic triage, get advice about how to deal with health problems, and decide whether they need to seek treatment.”
