> AI is more expensive today than it was three years ago, and it is not getting cheaper. Sam Altman’s comments about “intelligence too cheap to meter” were lies. NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPUs didn’t make it cheaper, and its Vera Rubin GPUs wo

Nobody is talking about hand waving. Look at progress in models between the original ChatGPT release and what came out this year. The progress is incredible, both in the frontier models and in the smaller ones that can be run in high end la

The benefits of having a computer that we can now interact with in plain natural language, that can extract intent from vague questions/statements, and that can piece together answers is obvious. The link talks directly about the dis

What about this situation is enshittification??
156.
by _aavaa_ 5mo ago
I feel like this term is overused now. First of all, character.ai is not a two-sided product/platform. Second, placing model limits for people who don’t want pay to use a service wouldn’t qualify as enshitification even if this was a

This argument gets brought up all the time. The US heavily subsidizes (directly, indirectly, and through tariffs) its local auto manufacturers. This is the same scare as when the German cars came, and the Japanese, and the Korean. Simplifie

Yes I do, in part because the difference between fan fiction and fiction, is that one has the blessing of the copyright holder while the other doesn't. Disney turning common folk tales (the culture of the day) into movies is not consid

For what it’s worth I think abolishing copyright wouldn’t have as big of an impact on art production as you do. Most artists (e.g. musicians or authors) aren’t struggling because their art is popular but copied by others (or lack of copyrig

I wonder how many would be written if copyright was only 20 years instead of more than a century? To the point that most people will never be legally allowed to directly build off of the culture they grew up in. Lord of the rings will be un

Because a small fortune with AI is smalller than the massive fortune and a team it would have required before AI. You can trivially modulate your burn rate with AI, you can’t really slow down development once you have a team you need to pay

Yes. It's confusing, which is why this is often discussed in terms of shutter angle, which makes this a litter easier to understand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehpdzt0JHUc

What does that have to do with rewriting from zig to rust??? This thread is what's pushing LLM marketing, not the rewrite itself. If the rewrite is just a stunt and it will crash and burn it will do that whether we spend our free (or w

Why? Generate the art and then attach a paintbrush to a robotic arm.

1. Rewrite from zig to rust in as close to zig as you can. 2. Turn into idiomatic rust.

Are you writing a book without an editor? Are you writing a book without spellcheck? It’s nice to comment, it’s be great to engage with the actual point I made: if the AI write the whole book for you it’s because you asked it to . You can

Is there a large scale construction project that doesn’t incur these costs? Is the AI data center substantially worse on these metrics that other comparable projects? Or are we talking about it only because it’s AI-related?

But what criteria do we use to judge whether these numbers are too high or too low? How do they compare to other construction projects of this size?

I don’t see irony there. We’re locked into CUDA due to past decisions. And in new decisions we don’t want to repeat that mistake.
