LLMs may not think , but they do reason . I say that because the word "reason" originates from the Latin word "ratio," which means "calculation". LLMs do calculations to produce their answers -- thus, they re

If 1 person of AI will be able to replace 5-10, we can expect a replacement of 80-90%. But I don't see why it couldn't replace thousands, with design/content factories. So it could be 99-99.9% (leaving all the money for the t

Using a tool where you only fill the blanks in some generic templates made by other humans sounds awfully a lot like what AI already does...

Technically, AI can introduce rounds of fact-checking, proofreading, etc. But even without that, AI-generated text is already better than what most humans can write -- particularly when they need something fast, cheap and good. (It might

Would someone who's "trying to get started in design" be able to make anything as good as these AI posters? And how would they survive in a world where machines can do their job for free? I suppose human artists will continue

Students in a graphic design class are expected to create something that graphic designers like; but that's not the same as what other people like.

Suppose you have a budget of $20. Do you think you will find good artists working for that fee? I don't think so, unless they are working to prove a point -- that humans can be as good as AI. And that's the problem: Humans can b

Yes, the search in Finder is better than in Windows. But the UI is worse.

Mac (the hardware) is amazing. MacOS (the OS) is much better than Windows. But MacOS (the user interface) is worse than Windows (or even Linux).

I hate MacOS UI. Red/yellow/green buttons to close(?)/minimize(?)/maximize(?) windows are usability hell.

First observation: if you use social media, your privacy is already decimated. So the article is not really defending privacy; it's simply defending social media. (Under-16s are an important demographic they don't want to lose). T

Interesting reading. They are still focusing on "catastrophic risks" related to chemical and biological weapons production; or misaligned models wreaking havoc. But they are not addressing the elephant in the room: * Political ris

Considering the advances in software and hardware, I would expect that in 2 or 3 years. And I hope we will eventually reach a point where models become "good enough" for certain tasks, and we won't have to replace them every

Even as a principal engineer, there is an infinite number of things you don't know. Suppose you get out of your comfort zone to do something entirely new; AI will be much more helpful for you than it is for people who spent years devel

The scary thing is that Amodei only opposes to domestic mass-surveilance. He doesn't seem to care if the DoW uses his AI for international spying. That's one more reason why Europe needs sovereign tech.

To run Llama 3.1 8B locally, you would need a GPU with a minimum of 16 GB of VRAM, such as an NVIDIA RTX 3090. Talas promises a 10x higher throughtput, being 10x cheaper and using 10x less electricity. Looks like a good value proposition.

The irony is that the outage was caused by a change from the "Code Orange: Fail Small initiative". They definitely failed big this time.
