I keep reading about AI killing all humans but I have yet to see a practical scenario where that happens. Somehow everyone is scared of that but nobody can explain exactly how that would happen?
It's easier to generate a static site using a WP hidden behind a VPN than building a mini cms on top of a static site.
I still have to read a compelling argument on how AI will "extinct" humanity.
They have been leading research on AI until ChatGPT was released. They had the FAIR, and Yann Le Cun.
Yes, now that they are in place they want to put barriers for new entrants.
I'm sure you can tell the difference. But for the vast majority of usage GLM 5.3 or Deepseek V4 is enough. Even people who do need frontier model will soon restrict it to the use cases that really need it and switch to…
On the contrary, Europe needs a wider AI ecosystem and not rely on just one company
it's fake cash flow based on circular economy
US software companies (Google, Meta, MS, etc) have offices in Paris and they pay way more than that. Especially if you take into account total comp (Mistral is private so any stocks you get are "locked" until IPO or…
Local models or independent hosting companies. Like Baseten, but there could be dozens of them.
> It is my conviction that in this space, if you're not the best in the world, you're losing I disagree on that point. Models are getting good enough that you can switch them and barely notice. I'm switching between…
The problem is that they're in a weird position between US models and Chinese models. Not as performant as US models, not as cheap as Chinese models. Especially as Chinese models are getting better Mistral is getting…
I don't need to be able to swap a spare battery like we did 15 years ago. However when your battery is old, and drains fast, it's really nice to be able to order a new one and easily change it by removing 4 screws. Not…
It depends who you are. If you're Edward Snowden, or even a high ranking politician, it's a sane precaution. If you're just a rando like me yes, it's paranoia.
Yes, they promised ads would be separated from the answer and clearly labelled as such. Just like when Google promised ads would be separated from the organic results and clearly labelled as such... Until they put them…
...and them pushing Google+ despite their users best interests was the first signal the good years were finished.
I recommend llama.cpp over ollama. Anyway, when you see a model on huggingface you get the exact commands to copy paste to run it locally.
Except nobody uses the .us tld, but pretty much every every Japanese company is on a .co.jp
Yes, Japan does the same with .co.jp but also .ne.jp, ac.jp, etc.
Street bumps are no longer allowed in France. Existing ones can stay, but cities can't create new ones. Instead they create bottlenecks and turns to force cars to slow down.
To be fair Java was created in a world where you'd run hundreds on services on a single server, run them in application server with a persistent JVM running. Now with containers, running Java apps in containers isn't…
I feel like too many people have a binary vision of the world, i.e. you're either "pro AI" or "anti AI". Ed Zitron doesn't say that AI doesn't work, that its impact on the world will not increase. He's basically saying…
A mistake for IBM maybe, but a blessing for computing.
It doesn't matter how much cash the iPhone does, some people have "boost the sales of the Mac Mini [or other product]" in their OKR.
When was that coalition of nations? European countries were literally at each other throats until 1945, then we gradually built the European Union.
