Honestly, open weight models are dangerous, and I haven't seen a single convincing argument against that.
If the models get good enough, the demand for them will soar. These companies believe they're a year from AGI, and that's how they'll be profitable.
Go ahead and ask it for music that's similar to a song you like. For that use case, I promise it's just way better than anything in the past. Pandora, Spotify Radio, anything.
In my experience, I could choose like, Steve Lacy radio from the song list, and it won't give me anything that sounds like Steve Lacy. It'll give me music that people who like Steve Lacy also like. But, if I ask the DJ…
Spotify seems to use an LLM for their new DJ feature, and it honestly is way better than any other music recommendation service I've ever tried. It will give you music that actually sounds like the music you ask for.…
The thing is, with Fleksy, as long as you get within a few characters of the letter, it counts, and you also switch auto-correct choices by swiping up or swiping down, so you can fix them easily. It's a joy to type with…
I don't really get swiping. It's always going to be quicker and more efficient to type because you can use both hands, right? And you don't have to swipe your finger across the screen? Still going strong with Fleksy…
13 billion in revenue, 7.5 in cost of revenue. Can we finally put to bed the idea that inference is subsidized?
Fable was trying to verify a UI change in my game. I was working in another window and noticed a program opening on my task bar. Fable had opened the game through the CLI using a movie maker tool, recorded the output,…
They are losing money because they are training new models and building new data centers. The claim of the video is that they're losing money just serving current AI models. There's just no evidence of that.
Ahh yes, the "human dignity" of billions of people toiling away to make Americans cheap widgets. There never was dignity to capitalism. We can strive to replace it with something better.
Yeah the multi-agent workflow just hasn't been satisfying to me. The more chats I try to run at once, the more I got lost and overwhelmed. I trust Claude to implement a plan correctly after I've reviewed it, but if I…
Exactly! The rich don't want to see mass starvation any more than the rest of us. We only permit homelessness and food insecurity now because of scarcity and a "just deserts" mentality where we blame people for their…
Democracy is what allows regular people to have negotiating power vs the rich, and the majority of these battles are actually won through legislation, not union negotiation. I understand that regular people have lost…
Counterpoint: Work sucks. Of the billions of workers on the planet, the number of them who love their job and would truly be doing it even if they didn't need to in order to survive is probably in the low single digits.…
Thanks for the genuine response. When you put it like that, though, if all seems a little ambiguous. Like, Dario isn't necessarily lying, and there's no proof he is, and on the contrary, the company continues to get…
We don't need AI in the same way we don't need washing machines and dryers. Like, sure, we don't need a machine to do our laundry, just like we don't need an AI to do our skilled labor, but it sure saves us a lot of…
Thanks for the link. There's not much of an argument here from Ed, though, besides that it's an unusual way to view or report margins. But it's not that unusual, right? If I build a house this year and sell it next…
Most small features take 80-150k tokens to implement, and most large features take 200-250k. For a hobbiest working like 10 hours a week, they can get stuff done but not nearly hit the weekly usage cap.
All subscription models are subsidized by users who don't use much. The fact that somebody on a $20 sub might get $50 in value isn't crazy if there are 3 people who only get $10 in value. This isn't some sign that the…
Their bigger incentive is to deliver the best product in the cheapest way, because there is tight competition with at least 2 other companies. I know we all love to hate on capitalism but it's actually functioning fine…
Meh I looked up the definition: "having knowledge or perception of a situation or fact." They do have knowledge of the info, but they don't have perception of it.
No, it has knowledge of what it is and how it is used. I'm guessing you and the other guy are taking issue with the words "aware of" when I'm just saying it has knowledge of these things. Awareness doesn't have to imply…
I didn't mean to imply that it was. But when you reply to it, if you just say "no" then it's aware that you could've just not responded, and that normally you would never respond to it unless you were asking for…
The whole idea of just sending "no" to an LLM without additional context is kind of silly. It's smart enough to know that if you just didn't want it to proceed, you would just not respond to it. The fact that you…
