DeepSeek sparks fears that SF's AI boom is over before it started
- Terr_ 2y agoI don't quite like this implication that "techies" are, as a group, all-in on LLMs as an imminent new total economic revolution and/or futuristic singularity. My experience is that learning more about a technology usually makes me less excited for it, because I can see the limitations that aren't mentioned in breathless startup elevator pitches. (Also public-relations pieces and boasting from CEOs of very large companies too.)

Second this. Just cutting through the hype and looking at what startups are not saying is always more important than what they are saying in their pitch.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoI’m excited as a non-AI techy. It is currently too limited, but it’s how I felt when I first played around with CPM programs on an Osborne my dad brought home when I was 7: it doesn’t do what I want, but it does stuff and eventually could do what I want.
