The point was not to be very accurate, it was to make the point that it has existed for a very short amount of time on the scale of humanity. Quibbling over whether software engineering started in the 40s or the 50s and whether that is grea

I'm not making any analogies to the capabilities of previous technology. I believe it's going to seriously shake things up. I'm saying that the correct response to seeing such power on the horizon is to prepare society to har

The point is not to demonstrate a correct response, it is to demonstrate how asking the model to implement something in code can bypass guardrails it has around certain topics in more conversational prompting.

I'm not talking about "Chinese superiority" at all. I'm talking about whenever there is news about a positive thing happening in China, people make it about the Chinese government and China vs. the west. Not everything t

I don't think it's veiled at all, to bring up these things every time there is a success in China. I agree that the CCP's view of the world and population control is negative. But don't let that poison your opinion of al

You are just shifting to another nebulous criticism instead of substantiating anything about skepticism of research from Chinese people. It is clear to everyone in the room that recent ML innovations are incredibly powerful and actively bei

This absurd denial of "anything coming out of China" has no place here, and ignoring groundbreaking research simply because it is from China will only leave you falling behind. I have no love for the CCP, and I believe that they a

I worked at a company a couple years ago that was running on Active Directory, Outlook, and good old fashioned Windows and Microsoft Office licenses. They wanted to "modernize" and so I was to learn about Teams/M365/Azur

I don't think it makes sense to be that cynical about a company opening their research and powerful technology to the public. The only underhanded thing they could be doing is lying, and it doesn't look like they are - but if they

Because if you don't have infinite money, considering whether to buy a thing is about the ratio of price to performance, not just performance. If you can get enough performance for your needs out of a cheaper chip, you buy the cheaper

Because DeepSeek demonstrates that loads of compute isn't necessary for high-performing models, and so we won't need as much and as powerful of hardware as was previously thought, which is what Nivida's valuation is based on?

Then why do we have powerful CPUs instead of a bunch of specialized hardware? It's because the value of a CPU is in its versatility and ubiquity. If a CPU can do a thing good enough, then most programs/computers will do that thing

Putting too much thought into the statement Meta's chief AI scientist made about how the new AI innovation is actually because of Meta is probably not going to be fruitful.

Concentrating power in the hands of the few is certainly a good way to get an oligarchy, which is what the "checks and balances" system of the US government is supposed to prevent. It's strange to see so many people wanting t

Not only have they created those APIs, they've actually created hardware devices to collect and store such valuable personal data. Banning certain APIs is just another layer of whack-a-mole - we need them to pull the weed out by its ro

Thank you for that source, I do not discard it as biased. While some people do, I am not choosing what sources are biased based on whether their findings align with my beliefs. I am choosing based on whether their results consistently align

To expound, "black people are more likely to be felons" is only true (in the truest sense of the word "true") given a clear definition of what "likely" means, and the conditions under which the statement is tru

Everyone agrees with this. Obviously, the problem is determining what is true . There is significant disagreement. This is the root of the problem, not that people are preventing other people from saying things that they themselves believe
