The thing to remember about recent AI developments is that they speed up development itself . Copilot is already useful. It does not write its own code, but that’s not the bar. The bar to clear is, can this speed up itself and I think the

This is all oversold hype meant to distract you from the real problems. As you say, once the novelty wears off we will return to our cubicles (if lucky) none the wiser.

Yes, but it takes a while and depends on if the "ants" are in the "chimps"'s way.

I sort of disagree that code is the biggest asset. Take the Yandex leak. What can you do with it? Outcompete them?

I understand and thank you for the clarification. My point was that societal productivity progress is ultimately not driven by factors such as “better lives” (satisfying primary needs). It is IMO not going matter if increasing productivity

I couldn't quite tell if you found a beautiful way to insult me, but it is fascinating indeed. I am hand wavey and I understand its failure modes quite well, unfortunately. It's cool to talk about it at this level of abstraction

Fair enough, but don’t we abstract “upwards” all the time? Assembly won’t go away, but do you deal with it?

Except you now have a way “upwards” from an abstraction POV. Regular code is severely limited and highly surgical, by design. This is not. All these abstraction layers were invented to serve old style manual coders. Why bother explaining in

We don’t become more productive because we are striving towards it like some shared goal, we do it because if we don’t, we lose (our jobs, among other things). There is no element of choice. There is no stopping this.

Those stochastic parrots are done for, finally! I have been telling people AI is a lie and it’s all a scam and now you can see for yourself. Buy nice warm jackets guys, winter is coming.

If I use it I also make sure it’s something completely non-core business, like an arcane piece of sorting or ugly rxjs construction. I get the IP angst, but some companies think their GetGenericObjectFromDB() REST bs is secret sauce.

It feels like some type of Heisenbergian deal. You can solve what you want, but you cannot know how at the same time.

You will regret getting rid of it. It is a small form factor that is easily stored. If anything you will look back later and marvel at all the freedom we had. “You could just plug into the internet with this?”, “You say you could just downl

I’d be surprised if that doesn’t do something qualitatively with the model. Very cool, curious to see what’s possible. Thanks.

I know it’s not average person money, but the average person is not looking for hardware to run inference on LLMs. A100 seem in the €15k ballpark and H100 double that. Lot of money but I am actually surprised. A dedicated regular guy could

All this science nonsense just got us all this mechanical horses that were unnecessary anyway and bigger explosions, who needs all that shit anyway. We keep believing this all leads to something, I’d say drop it all and go back to the woods

We just don’t know. We can’t even agree on if there is any significant high-level behavior. “It’s alive!” and “stochastic parrot” are still both quite popular in my experience.
