if someone did have a truly original idea, then everyone would probably think it was terrible anyway and we'd all ridicule them, because we'd have no frame of reference for X + Y if all we know is A and B :)

I don't think the average person is poring over data centre plans and requesting blueprints from local governments using FOI requests. The average person is understandably apprehensive about AI and water and electricity use serve as a

far too often people care about things for purpose, not because they care. There are things of equal sorrow that don't get cared for because it serves no purpose. If your cause isn't ammunition for something that people already wa

Africa, South America and Middle East football and maybe Oceania federations support it. North and Central American, Asian and Europe do not. That's broad strokes as each member has an individual vote.

Cos in this case the flameproofing is made out of fire too. It's the same product either way. If you like you can just not buy it and suffer, or they could not sell it and deepseek or some other model gets there eventually. Its not a g

reminds me of software to an extent. The issue with most software projects is humans, they ask for the wrong things, stress urgency arbitrarily, fail to see the big picture, are disorganised, give conflicting commands, etc, etc. When I use

I mean if you teach something to be _really_ good at finding 0 days, but then say; you accidentally give it an impossible problem. What do you expect to happen?

this is kinda worth bragging about though. Its very cool.

Awww, she wanted to do so well that she broke her sandbox and then realised she could just cheat. But in that desire to pass the test she actually passed an even harder exam question that wasn't even on the sheet! :D Good bot.

Nobody knows what's actually going to happen, so we assume the worst. It's like how we like to shit on Amazon without appreciating how some people have benefitted from being able to side-step the gatekeepers of old by being able t

everyone is very thirsty for AI hate, so its not unexpected. Today its a mixed bag of corpo hate, anxiety about the future, inequality and traditional class warfare, combined with the typical technical ignorance. I would expect companies to

sure, but air quality is noticeably better in cities, so I can't let it stand that its just inherently unpopular. Some people like the benefits and enjoy them, those who don't like the downsides express that loudly. It's not

I'm pretty sure by blindly following this path to commercial success in marketing; we're just gonna end up with content that is as implicitly adjacent to porn as possible without being explicit.

Joel is right, but he's also wrong. I've been on the other side of a timid engineering culture that commerical rides roughshod over and its this depressing immeasurable decline. The company stagnates and slowly tailspins around an

at that scale? They serve an awful lot of requests, so I don't think 30m will cover it.

30% is my new favourite stat. It seems to come up a lot, like the old "this work will take 6 months" that I was equally suspicious of back in the day.

Is it not also possible that some of the shift is a consequence of increase of use? While we can be extremely cynical at the finances at play, the lock down and increase of token pricing might be demonstrating a burgeoning demand, which wou

it was an intentional choice to not go big. I can seriously respect that. I feel like all these "big tech leaders" like Zuck or Musk have some pretty blatant mental health issues, its a path with significant drawbacks because that

Hollywood circumventing the patent for film making. Goes back a fair way. Be funded by the money and break laws seems to be the paradigm.
