> 'I think [...] I think [...] maybe [...] maybe [...] maybe [...]' Sounds more like a vague prediction of what the future might be like rather than an iron-clad claim.

I don't see why you can't do that? There's plenty of things that cost money that legislation forces companies to do anyway, regardless of if there is a 'funding source' or not. Although this particular one is from t

If you have the full outputs, it might make it easier for competitors to distil the model or reverse engineer the full process. It may also be that misaligned responses can be in CoT which OpenAI does not want to show to users.

Not really. Coding is probably solved, at least to a large extent, but that doesn't mean engineering is solved too. This is like someone saying that the wright brothers solved sustained/powered human flight, and another person say

I'm working on an open source and customisable/configurable warehouse management system. As it's open source and built with a codebase that's easy for LLM's to work with, users can download it and tailor it to their

I think we are more broadly talking about what the user interface is going to be in the future and how people will interact with a computer - many people already want to interact with ChatGPT to get answers rather than navigate to a website

I don't think that's quite how it works - I think they are saying that they have a framework contract so they will have had to provide some list prices, but that doesn't affect the overall contractual terms.

Yes - the legislation itself needs ripped up and replaced with common sense procurement that follows industry norms. As someone who bids for these contracts, my outsider view of the procurement process is that it seems to spends so much tim

Their medium value purchase system is a waste of time too - I work for a small business that does government contracts and you have to pay the government just for the pleasure of bidding for contracts. Then every bid has it's own uniqu

This ignores the human side of things - people want relationships, empathy and sometimes just to be listened to. A call with your manager where they say "yes, I agree with everything you said - go ahead and do it, I trust you" can

Nvidia doesn't own fabs, but TSMC is doing a massive global fab expansion.

But it's also easier if you have a market cap of 2 trillion and are worried about your competitors scaling to meet demand.

by Closi 5mo ago
Although on the flipside, let's pretend it's 2017's and you are Nvidia selling GPU's for Bitcoin - maybe demand will dry up at some point? Do you stop scaling production as this might be the max of the market, or do you

Billions is nothing in this market - if the market is supply constrained in the medium term then the hyperscalers will purchase their own route to manufacture (e.g. through coinvestment). Also that's not what the bullwhip effect is - a

Plus even if it does involve expensive drugs and long term treatment, that would be a huge step towards cheap drugs and short term treatment. Lots of treatments start expensive and then come down in cost as competitors step in.

I don't know what price point you are shopping at, but if you think Neo is 'robbery' I think you are being unfair considering the type and quality of device you can get at the same price point - lots of laptops at the £599 pr

Well, the paper suggests taxing businesses who automate which is more like trying to continue the current economic model by reducing the use of AI. I suspect if the 'AI-Maximalists' are true, it will need to be a more fundamental

I guess the argument would go that a new economic model will be required at that stage. There isn't much point in having people do jobs they don't like which are trivial to automate just for money, but at the point where there isn

I don't follow that conclusion - just because Israel has said there has been a risk for 30 years clearly doesn't mean that there isn't a real risk now.

They can - it’s just more complex. You just put the comments into something like firebase/supabase etc or use one of many off the shelf solutions. Free tier is fine.
