The reason it makes people uncomfortable is because people have been using it to alter images of real people, and they've done that in a public place (twitter/X), for everyone to see. So it gets in the deepfake realm,…
Elon's public take so far has implied that he wants Grok to have better ability to reason about math and physics, thinking that this will make the model more rational (and so less biased). It's possible that they have…
Yeah I mean, if you don't know how to code, you just know how to prompt, you have no idea how to tell what's a good solution vs what isn't. The best you can do is have the model figure it out for you. You also have no…
It looks weirdly petty that they are going after her. Everyone knows that Meta is a shitty place to work. There have already been countless articles. Their reputation as an employer is almost Amazon-tier. Is there much…
Simple software is also easier to optimize. The simpler it is, the less weird corner cases you have to deal with.
I've come to understand, talking to a friend who is also in the startup world, that there are some CEOs who run a "portfolio" of startups. It's pretty weird. I don't really understand why investors would put money in a…
I was working at an AI startup, and I saw our CTO lie in a demo to potential customers. I know that startups sometimes have a "fake it till you make it" mindset, but the guy straight up used a product from another…
To get tenure in STEM, you need to publish 1 to 3 papers a year. If you only publish once per year, you'd be on the low end, so you always have to think about your next paper. You always have to try to work on something…
I agree there's a path where this encourages people to be even more sedentary and lazy. On the other hand, if I cook every meal and clean up after, plus take care of home cleaning, I could easily spend 3 hours a day on…
I think people are also literally fighting datacenters. As others have said the increase in energy costs is a problem for the average person. Not only is AI potentially competing for your job, it's also competing for…
It's a win for consumers as well if you can get better video quality or more reliable calls on a slower connection.
Maybe synergistic with tokenmaxxing. You should be burning more tokens, and you should also be making more trades.
The people who make that comparison are just showing how clueless they are IMO.
I wish the tech field wasn't so full of clueless grifters. The most frustrating thing is that this kind of people, the kind who loudly and confidently assert bullshit claim based on insufficient knowledge, have a knack…
The difference is that LLMs are not compilers. You can't trust the output to be correct. They routinely make bad design choices. If you're prototyping some kind of throwaway MVP, you're just sketching something, it's…
Yeah this is pretty shady. The S&P 500 in particular has fairly strict criteria (e.g. 4 consecutive quarters of profitability) and those criteria exist for a reason. They made me more comfortable buying the S&P 500…
Not to downplay their accomplishment but Llama 3.1 8B is a terrible model. It's really outdated at this point. It's cool that they were able to accelerate a model with silicon, but it also feels wasteful since llama 8B…
It's not just the UI... It's that producing content is much easier on a laptop or desktop, with an actual keyboard, or video editing software available. The rise of mobile contributed to a shift where the internet was…
Yeah but they weren't as toxic. I was an early YouTube user... The platform used to have no ads, can you imagine?
I can sympathize... I got to the point where I was sleeping only 5 hours a night, having digestive issues and tinnitus.
Make it a personal goal to beat every game and expansion pack on nightmare.

A lever is classified as a simple machine. Wrt the space shuttle, I would take some issue because you could say it's not just one machine, but a collection of many, for example it probably has onboard computer systems…
Meta's vision was worse than that. They were trying to hype doing work meetings in VR. There's a case to be made that VR games and VR universes can be fun... But work meetings?
