These things are impressive. It is funny that sometimes to do crazy Excel acrobatics to solve what would be a few lines of code in Python or other approaches.

“manually remove weird AI answers” is an oxymoron. Sort of like saying “deployed manual drivers to improve self driving performance”

Pay no attention to the army of people behind the curtain pulling levers trying to make it look like they’ve actually but a real AI.

The fall of Google’s reputation on ML is nothing short of spectacular. They went from having a near untouchable reputation as being far ahead of any other large tech company on ML to total shambles in a year. Everything they’ve released has

The quality and rigor of GCP’s engineering is not even remotely close to that of an AWS or Azure and this incident shows it.

Sounds more plausible that someone pointed out to them internally they could be in a heap of trouble if Scarlett objected after they released it. It doesn’t matter if it was actually her voice or not it matters if people think it was her vo

Headline presents a premise that represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the law. You don’t have to actually use the person in question to be found liable for what OpenAI is accused of doing. Famous case here is Back to the Furure Part

There’s a recurring pattern here of OpenAI getting caught red handed doing bad things and then being all like “Oh it was just a misunderstanding, nothing more, we’ll get on to fixing that ASAP… nothing to see here…” It’s becoming too much t

Whatever lawyer wrote that should be fired. This poorly written nonsense makes it look like Slack is trying to look shady and subversive. Even if well intended this is a PR blunder.

After several blunders and broadly panned demos Google is completely panicked at this point trying to appear on track with AI. Meanwhile others are pushing out products that increasingly make Google’s cash cow irrelevant. Get your popcorn o

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for McKinsey. They’ve gone from scandal to scandal over the last 10 years or so and their once vaunted reputation is now in shambles. They deserve whatever is coming to them here. There are certain

Scam is a bit too strong IMHO. But yes it does just appear to be hacking together a bunch of long existing tech into a package that’s not particularly novel in the history of such things. If they’re guilty of anything it’s likely not adequa

Sounds like systems worked as designed but the Delta employee didn’t do anything about the tricker scanning as a duplicate boarding event. That raised questions of it they failed to follow a defined protocol or if the scanning system was ju

So basically a couple of finance bros thought they could make a killing by buying Hertz cheap at auction and then doing the old pump and dump with the company. Turns out they weren’t actually very good at running a business and made a huge

The main problems I see in 99% of the cases of a founder looking for a technical co-founder are: 1. The founder sees themselves as the ideas person but doesn’t have the situational awareness to recognize that their ideas aren’t that unique.

I’ve seen a lot of attempts but nothing that worked really well. Using an agent as a glorified search engine can work, but trying to replace actual humans to handle anything but the most standard use cases is still incredibly hard. There’s

Optometrists don’t do LASIK though, only medical doctors. So you just saw an optometrist that works outside the insurance sphere since most medical insurance doesn’t cover LASIK. I do take your point though that when it’s a competitive env

Yes. Each query needs to generate enough revenue to pay for the cost of running the query, a proportional cost of the cost to train the original model, overhead, SG&A, etc. just to break even. Few have shown a plan to do that or explain

by JCM9 3y ago
It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but the US healthcare system has long viewed dentistry and optometry as some sort of secondary thing that’s not part of the primary medical and healthcare profession. It’s silly IMHO. It should all just

I agree with you. My reference in business questioning value was on the flood of money going into building new models. That’s where we will see a significant and painful culling soon as it’s all becoming quite commoditized and there’s only

by JCM9 3y ago
2024 is going to shift into a tough year for AI. Business minded folks are already starting to deeply question where the value is relative to the amount of money spent on training. Many/most of the GenAI companies have interesting idea

If the oil revenue went away, or even declined a lot, the country would be in serious trouble. They’ve been working to get ahead of that for a long by time diversifying, but from an economic risk standpoint they’re still far too dependent o

Country at risk of heading into an economic calamity and sliding into irrelevance on the global stage puts out PR talking points saying the thing keeping them going but looking shaky is actually all just fine. Shocking. I don’t disagree, ju

I find the “demoting” term amusing / inaccurate. He’s in a career position to do basically whatever he wants and is doing just that. That seems like the ultimate role / achievement that’s far higher than any position on an org cha

Glassdoor seems very has-been at this point. They’re trying to move beyond the mix of folks trashing their employers and then charging employers to make the profile look better to now trying to be more of a serious career site. The ship has

One of the many reasons older homes (especially pre WWII) are way better built. Older homes use bigger timber of old growth. Newer homes used smaller diameter timber of new growth. There’s no comparison. Provided it was taken care of I’d ta
