What moat did Meta have today? I'd say there is a moat, but it's not on the tech side. Tiktok flew right through the moat, and only a small part of that is about tech. A lot of development on AI is exciting and meta is a big part

They hid it and deepseek came up with R1 anyway, with RL on only results and not even needing any of the thinking tokens that OpenAI hid.

For all the hype about thinking models, this feels much like compression in terms of information theory instead of a "takeoff" scenario. There are a finite amount of information stored in any large model, the models are really goo

> which then requires using those huge 600B parameter models locally. Are you running the smaller models locally? Doesn't seems unfair to compare it against 4o and o1 behind OpenAI APIs.

Run it locally, the distilled smaller ones aren't bad at all.

good one. I get the point now. Though not necessarily agreeing with it. Maybe if the AI is AGI, but then everything would be moot.

I work on all of them, if you have skyscraper of a project, which I worked on a quite a few, you can't run them without having the supporting "scripts" to define infrastructure, test, deploy, run canaries, gather metric putti

I think a successful high level intelligence should quickly accelerate or converge to infinity/physical resource exhaustion because they can now work on improving themselves. So if above human intelligence does happen, I'd assume

Well everything you've written suggest to me that you're clever, or maybe that shouldn't be the word, but somewhere between smart and wise. And a lot of people aren't that.

STEM roles already pay incredibly well in this country, and even more so if you compare it globally. What is the downward price shock you're talking about? What do you think the salary would or should be, assuming all H1B worker are ma

The air quality in China is lot better now than a decade ago. The smog was so bad in 2012 and I remembered the AQI hitting 999 (the max it would go) on more than one occasions during Beijing winter. Went back again in early 2024 and it was
