Have you ever met an actual Gen Z? They have no problem with swear words. Many of them love Key and Peele, whose humor is like 90% racist jokes. If wokeness actually did capture a whole generation then why even bother complaining?

No but it's a useful shorthand to describe a type of bad writing. I also think that people should focus on substance and not if AI was used, but AI writes like shit and I find myself retching a bit when I have to read long AI-written d

Yeah, I'm not sure the level of trust extended to a company like Amazon or Google will also be extended to one run by Elon Musk, who is notorious for not respecting terms like this.

I don't know where you get this idea. A human being who used AI to generate something may actually claim copyright over the product. You might be getting confused with a court case that ruled that AI could not have sole copyright, but

Why are you calling this corporate surveillance? These cameras are installed on the government's orders for the government's use. It's way more nefarious this way!

Because this isn't clearly against the law, nor should it be. If websites want to ban based on IP address lots of innocent users get caught in the cross-fire. I'm not sure what the solution would look like - maybe Cloudflare&#x27

I mean, there's a difference between "my IDE opens 0.1s faster" and "my desktop can now write my code for me" and only one of those justifies increasing RAM production.

Right, but "provided again" is what SKILL.md or whatever else are for. The value of LLMs is that they're stateless. With sufficiently detailed documentation and a well-bounded task, they are quite useful.

I also think this is forward looking and helps reanchor expectations for RAM and memory bandwidth, which historically have been areas where companies do value engineering. The memory shortages won't last forever; when companies start a

Yes, it tends to be the youths who reason themselves out of religion precisely because they don't have a strong emotional connection to it.

I cannot fathom why you think airport subsidies matter here. Airports are way, way cheaper than HSR. Yeah drag grows quadratically with speed but reduces with altitude. At 40k ft a modern jet delivers up to 150 pmpg. Yes the carbon emissi

Sure, but when the 747 was new and gas was a few cents a gallon? An airplane is a very efficient way to move people. There is no ground friction, the route is pretty direct, and once the airplane is loaded 100 passenger-miles a gallon is no

If you take LinkedIn at face value everyone who uses the Internet is a sociopath who lives for no purpose beyond maximizing shareholder value. Seriously, some of the most deranged things I've ever read were by relatively normal people

Do you actually have a job? Do you talk to your coworkers? This is an insane take. Plenty of people are critical of AI at my job despite a big push to use it. I find the comparison to NK distasteful, coming from someone who presumably is

I think the context that's missing from this discussion is just how long the 747 was in service. When it was new, pilots didn't directly control the engines - a flight engineer did. There were no moving maps and navigation was do

I really don't understand this take. If you're a carpentry shop that just bought power tools for the first time and you're worried that your employees are sticking with hand tools because that's what they know, then you

I'm flabbergasted that you look at the Chinese property crisis and say "only the West does irresponsible loans." No, 60% of China's economy is state-run companies and the remaining 40% need political officers. China is

...except Uber STILL faces competition, and I went back to hotels after finding AirBnB too pricy. It is good and proper that people aim to create monopolies, as long as they want to do that in a productive and legal way! Monopolies are inhe

I mean, yeah. Their point is that the substances are extremely chemically similar to the point where they can be treated as different intensities of the same drug.

While forming unions is a protected right in the US, it is incredibly stupid to signal that you will try to form a union during a job interview.

That GPU costs 25k which means you really should have a rack to put it in. It's not realistic.

Where are you finding ML-grade GPUs that you can actually use to train a modern model for *$350*!? Dude, let me know so I can find some.

The real number is probably closer to ~13 engineers, because it costs a company the worker's salary _again_ for benefits, payroll taxes, etc., etc.

I don't know why you think that Russia is able to get GPUs when the entire rest of the world can't. The drones run on literally whatever is available because any Western-built one is restricted to Iran or Russia.

To be fair the fact that Google overcame not being the default browser is incredibly impressive. It's easy to forget now just how dark the days of IE6 were.

But then someone would figure out some prompts that don't trigger this, and Anthropic wouldn't be able to try and disadvantage competitors.
