It's coding is still meh. Greenfield applets all day, but don't throw it in the jungle. It's best for brain storming, rabbit holes, and image recognition. Let the big models do the heavy lifting for now.

I would imagine extremely few people are utilizing an H200 for every hour of a month. Especially for something like an assistant 5090's are like $0.20/hr

But then you are stuck being the only conscious entity... To extended anywhere beyond the firm ground of "I know I am conscious", you need to step onto the progressively shaky ground of assumptions, which just amounts to "tes

And I am sure that lolakutty will momentarily bestow the world with a consciousness test, solving a problem that has eluded millions of top thinking man hours over millennia of trying... However, I feel rather certain, that deep down the pr

Perhaps you haven't had the chance to use it, but 3.8 flash is the best model for talking too. Even routing Claudes output through 3.8 to have it explain whats going on is a breath of fresh air

ChatGPT, which seems to be the "Kleenex" of AI right now, has a very distinct default look to it's generated images and I am almost certain OAI did it on purpose to avoid regulation. The models are totally capable of producin

No, they are data sellers. You pay them in data. Just like money, it becomes theirs.

I think this single image from 1945 captures everything about the situation with Japan at the time, and what went into the decision making.[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_Fighting_Corps#/medi...

He also has been on the board since 1993. So it's not like his son is walking in today as the new guy. He was elected by the board too, rather than directly placed by Warren.

How much money have people paid to use these services over the years? None? Ok, now you understand the business model.

Because of the nature of upvoting on social media, we can pretty accurately dial in on what the crowds consensus is. Your response makes sense when we are pulling random marbles from a bag, like old school forums, but social media abandoned

Of course, but who (what?) is going to make the food and the shelter?

Cool, now you can pay an attorney $500/hr for them to prompt Astra for 30 minutes, and bill you like they spent the normal 8 hours on the case.

By that point money ceases to have value, because the value of money comes from the motivation it gives people to work. If AI does everything, then money is useless (unless AI like money for some reason).

You can basically put a "%" after a fahrenheit temperature and read it as "percentage of a really hot day" and you'll get a pretty good idea what it feels like outside. It's pretty well calibrated as a 0-100 sc
