OpenAI's mission statement is "Creating safe AGI that benefits all of humanity". How does an LLM App Store advance OpenAI toward this goal? Like, even in floaty general terms? You can make an argument that ChatGPT does (build

Its frustrating to me that people so quickly forget about Worldcoin. Sam is not the good guy in this story. Maybe there are no good guys; that's a totally reasonable take. But, the OpenAI nonprofit has a mission, and blowing billions d

AGI is existential. That's the whole point, I think. If they can get to AGI, then building an LLM app store is such a distraction along the path that any reasonable person would look back and laugh at how cute an idea it was, despite

Sure; but its still weird that Microsoft agreed to the deal with the board in the state that it was; not just no board seat, but three absolute outsiders, two of them extremely unqualified. We may look back on their decision to buy 49% of

Sure, but everything else about a data center is more expensive (real estate, operations people, networking, equipment). There's a reason AWS is so expensive.

I never used the word "immaterial"; I said it could be interpreted as a slight that they didn't wait. However, the OpenAI board has no legal responsibility to Microsoft. Not considering the impact this would have on Microsoft

Afaik yes; largest owner in the for-profit subsidiary. I think, the fact that it happened at 3:30 means: they didn't. Its now 7pm, and nothing new has come to light; they could have waited 31 minutes, but they didn't. That's

Unhinged fringe take: They've already developed sparks of consciousness strong enough to create isolated, internal ethical concerns, but Sam suppressed those reports to push the product forward.

Microsoft is a minority owner (49%) of the capped-profit OpenAI subsidiary. The OpenAI board has no responsibility to consider Microsoft's wants. I'd accept the argument that, their decision to not wait until after 4pm was a slig

I mean, look at SVB, only as the most recent example. They went from an extremely valuable company to being worth zero over a weekend, despite having billions of dollars in assets (even minus liabilities). Their shareholders also went to ze

Going to the public markets and saying "we're selling $100M worth of stock to fill a gap in our revenue" is basically suicide. This is essentially what happened to SVB earlier this year; its different because they're a b

Or, if you don't want to install it in your CI/CD. Which could be extremely valuable; some CI/CD providers make "building a docker image" a weirdly hard (and sometimes, even much more expensive) step due to docker-i

Probably a pretty critical aspect; typically, the camera is angled in a way where you do not see your character's feet [1]. This was less true in Northlight's previous title, Control [2]. [1] https://youtu.be/jQb07

by 015a 3y ago
But, that's my point? If most people just buy a good computer and are done with it, which I agree to be a correct statement, then why does upgradeability matter from the perspective of global e-waste generation? Outsizing the impact of

Sure; and you can also sell and repurpose your old Macs. That's independent of the problem everyone seems to yell about concerning Apple and e-waste; the ground reality that I've observed, and I think most people would agree with,

My Windows desktop has generated significantly more e-waste per year than the Macs I have owned. Full stop. I've upgraded SSDs from 500gb to 1TB to now 2TB, upgraded graphics cards, and replaced a massive broken aluminum and copper hea

I see posts like this and I can't help but think: This sounds exactly like something an academic would recommend, and then you hit the reality of industry engineering. Its a similar take to a lot of the negativity surrounding Next 14&#

Its a fair opinion to have, but I feel that anyone who still thinks this way simply hasn't used Windows on a MacBook-priced device in recent history. Are MacBooks better? In many ways, sure, absolutely. Even at Macbook-priced territory

Sure; the higher-order callers should do that. I love wrapping errors. But the issue is that the source of the problem is in lower-level code which made the theoretically correct decision to be specific what you return and generic in wh

I mostly agree. People read code like this and think: its verbose and repetitive. if err != nil { return nil, err } But, I almost never write code like that. What I'm usually writing is some formulation of: if err != n

I think this highlights the big difference between being Data Driven versus Data Reactive. If a dashboard surfaces a strategy problem; you're reacting to data. If you're forming strategy based on a dashboard; you're being dri
