Can someone explain why everything is being marketed in terms of power consumption?

I thought the sales pitch of all of this is that the AI was supposed to relieve people from having to do a bunch of annoying bootstrap coding and to do it in a way that we could extended easily. I have a subscription to Claude Code and desp

No, it is isn’t and saying it is here by using vague goalposts does not make AGI show up. I will agree we have been unable to define what it is, but we can’t even figure out why humans have consciousness right now.

It really feels like OpenAI simply acquires anything AI adjacent that is trendy or allows financial analysts to argue that we just don’t understand Sam Altman’s 39D chess strategy.

Liaw is family and it is not possible for a company like this to separate family from company interests. He is clearly unwilling to change, so, Super Micro is just going to die a painful death.

It sounds like this is along the lines of Firecrawl is trying to do? Or what Plaid has done for banking? > I think, the net benefit would be in the billions. I think, you must forgive people if they are somewhat hostile, if not sick and

They seemed open to giving it a try if they were actively involved in the experiment. Instead, it feels like a lot of people don’t really understand how Wikipedia is managed and thought that they could use it as a freeform place to get cred

The term artificial intelligence has always been just a buzzword designed to sell whatever it needed to. IMHO, it has no meaningful value outside of a good marketing term. John McCarthy is usually the person who is given credit for coming u

I think it is. The launch announcement explicitly says the same thing, “Meta is our lead partner and customer”.

They don’t have to use the tech, except maybe superficially. They are either being explicitly mislead by salespeople or like others have mentioned, it simply is a vehicle to confirm their own biases or annoyance at having to pay peons. It’s

We’ll never know exactly what exactly transpired, but I think the existing evidence is clear that as President of Y Combinator he should not have been also as involved in OpenAI as he was. This is a conflict of interest and I think one a ve

Multiple people have attested that Sam Altman is extremely charming (especially in more casual, intimate settings) and talks very nobly about his goals, but his actual work is just…all kinds of awful. And I think that charm only goes so far

I suspect someone is literally asking the idiotic question if they can just replace our air traffic controllers with an AI.

People keep saying this and I agree Claude has gotten a lot better even in my own experience, but I think the value is questionable. What’s the point of adding features that are inscrutable? I have gotten Claude to make a feature and it mos

I find LLMs useful in regurgitating one-liners that I can’t be bothered to remember or things where even being flat out wrong is okay and you just do it yourself. For all the folks spending a lot of time and energy in setting up MCP servers

I don’t want to discount the hard work that went into this, but I think it is always important to recognize this is mostly not a representation of competence, but of means and access. I have never seen someone fortunate enough to get such o

Probably. The Clockwise folks were from a startup that was bought out by Salesforce before they left to do this. IMHO, the problem with Clockwise is that there was never a compelling product or a moat they could build with in the space. It

There is always going to be some movement. It’s impossible for there not to be. Whether it is rendered in the VR environment or happening in real-life through small little motions, there’s a lot of little things that help to establish the m

Yes, my understanding (and I suspect the reason why the airflow experiment worked) is that a large part of the reason this happens is because of a mismatch between the output from the vestibular and visual systems. So, the automated defense

I think this title is a little misleading? Rather it seems like they are just asking for clarification and discussing more clarity from the existing policy.

> VR is so good and still in it's infancy. I believe 30% of the population cannot use VR in any way shape or form because your inner ear has decided the floor is the only place you can be.

This is not a useful, constructive or meaningful statement. Attempting to claim the models are the future by perpetually arguing their limitations are because people are using the models wrong or that the argument has been invalidated becau

I think you and a lot of people have spent a lot of energy getting as much out of these models as you can and I think that’s great, but I agree that it’s not what they’re being sold as and there is plenty of space for people to treat these

I get the impression there’s a very strong bimodal experience of these tools and I don’t consider that an endorsement of their long-term viability as they are right now. For me, I am genuinely curious why this is. If the tool was so obvious
