A home can also be built of mud bricks and heated by dung. The issue you’re describing is a mindset/cultural one, not a technological one. The same cheating machine can be used as a tutor. Those same cheating students understand, that

Ask the researchers working on Deepseek. They seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. Just because a AI will be able to do it in the future does not mean that us plebs will be allowed to have access to it. That alone is enough of a r

What is there to talk about the KV Cache, they’re handing off to a different model, I thought that you can’t reuse KV cache between entirely different models?

I mean the choice is: 1) we pass laws that explicitly say training models like this is legal (the original quote, 2) say it’s illegal and requires licenses for the data and ability to opt out, 3) we ignore it and continue because the compan

No, we’re talking about an intimate set of tensors, not a human being. A tree falling and killing someone isn’t tried for manslaughter. So I don’t care about a hypothetical teacher.

There was, and to a large degree Tesla had to do a lot by themselves since the US government picks winners and saves losers rather. The Chinese government prioritized EV and battery productions through onshoring, industrial policy, and blan

Give me a break. Yeah, in this case it's the USA side that's on the losing end. Just because the US government wants small government and no intervention (expect when it comes to the donor class, or their voting base, or their own

Are we talking about the large Covid spike in early 2020? I don’t think that has anything to do with the sale.

by _aavaa_ 3mo ago
I don’t think we need to blame that sale. The same steady decline had been going since 2016. Itms clearly there in the graph, but everyone trumpeting the ChatGPT angle conveniently ignores the preceding 5+ years of continual decline.

This ignores the pollution to make that fuel and the pollution to build the plan (both of which you are already counting on the battery side). Plus the pollution of all the backup generators that they require and must test regularly.
