>If Rivian’s native UI is so great, then their customers… won’t use CarPlay. It’s that simple. I kind of disagree with this. Airpods are purely additive, customers can just choose to use different headphones with their…
To be honest I don't think what the models themselves say in relation to these specific questions matter. Because I don't think it reflects are durable underlying worldview. I suspect that the way you frame things is…
Google acquired his company in 2024 for $2.7Bn with him taking about 40% of that. I'm quite sure that no matter where he went, any lab or his own start up, he would be fine financially.
I totally understand the concern that forcing a digital proof of age turns into you having to go to some 3rd party who won't actually just provide a "Yes, this person is 18" style verification but instead will turn into…
I feel like a lot of this advice is kind of dangerous. How do I draft a tight investor memo? I'll ask the slop machine! It's kind of analogous to how I'm writing code right now. For simple stuff or low priority stuff…
Just to be clear, this is the same reason that social media companies don't tell you about how they detect spam and they create shadow bans and things like this so that people don't know they've been detected and figure…
What are you even classifying as accurate or correct? Do you take every 51% prediction from FiveThirtyEight and if the result is a win you consider that forecast accurate? And every 49% prediction must result in a loss?…
To give you a trivial example: The simplest way I can put this is that turn out varies based on the weather[1], and turn out is skewed by party. So if it rains on election day you are going to get a different result,…
I think it's unquestionably right that these companies can't all win, and those that don't win are going to burn a lot of money for nothing. However there's kind of two directions this can go: Compute gets cheaper, in…
One aspect of my job is that I have a lot of autonomy and the work I do is such that I could push something out to the production environment and cause massive problems. We have processes in place to make sure that…
You're forgetting that xAI and X.com have both already been folded into SpaceX (First xAI acquired X.com, then xAI got acquired by SpaceX, both mergers were all-stock acquisitions so they were done with funny money). So…
Just commenting here to impact the controversy score.
Frankly I think it’s kind of childish to just put up a massive Uk wide block on your website. “Call your representatives”, ok dude, can I give you a list of things I want to change about your country’s policies?
Needs a [2010] tag. In almost all modern hardware development you'll have coding guidelines along the lines of "Always use blocking assignments for comb logic, always use non-blocking for sequential logic". You end up…
What do you mean by simulate? Do you want the language to be aware of the temperature of the silicon? Because I can build you circuits whose behaviour changes due to variation in the temperature of the silicon.…
I guess this really depends on your view of the world. Was Marc Andreessen some visionary without whom no one would've ever figured out images could appear on websites. Some kind of Albert Einstein of cat gifs. Or was…
There are obviously tonnes of accurate stereotypes in the TV show Silicon Valley, but one of the ones I think about often is when Richard calculates how much money Russ Hanneman has made investing his billions... and it…
I'm always a little surprised at how these Tech CEOs are willing to go on TV and just spout nonsense. Firstly, 40% of college educated white women voted for Trump at the last election. Secondly, isn't the entire theory…
Whilst this is interesting I find the topic bought up on odd lots is more interesting. The idea was this: Once you've built a model, if you can sell tokens for a profit, this is a great business - just sell more tokens.…
What you are talking about isn't inference cost. Yes, fundamentally what matters is all the work that goes into the models, including R&D, training, and inference. But we talk about inference separately for a reason:…
There's two points here. The first is that a strategy of monetizing models to fund the goal of reaching AI is indistinguishable from just running a business selling LLM model access, you don't actually need to be trying…
I think the big take away here isn't about misalignment or jail breaking. The entire way this bot behaved is consistent with it just being run by some asshole from Twitter. And we need to understand it doesn't matter…
I think you're missing the point. That phrase isn't giving a direct instruction to the chatbot to make sure it doesn't get elected to congress and subsequently pass laws prohibiting speech. That phrase is meant to tell…
Ah I see, so the misaligned agent was unsurprisingly directed by a misaligned human. Good grief, the guy doesn't seem to realise that starting your soul.md by telling your AI bot that it's a very important God might be…
