Another CEO with AI psychosis [1]. LLMs are not true AI, they lack common sense (or whatever it's properly called). LLM-based systems still need somebody with deep domain knowledge at the wheel to keep them from doing stupid things. It

DNNs/LLMs can only predict next tokens based on training data. They often make big direction mistakes as they are particularly bad at common sense. Kind of like the Paperclip Maximizer scenario. They need a human with deep knowledge to

The smart path: Find good mentors (and return the favor); use LLMs not to do the work but to help you learn and exercise your brain: make them test you, using something aking to teacher/Socratic method, make mistakes and get the ment

I know there were several similar posts in the front page, but this one is much better than all the ones I read so far.

> 1. In order to build competitive models, you need to offer competitive salaries and equity. FWIW, for the equity part there's a proposal expected to pass for next year: https://www.eu-inc.org/ (but it doesn't

Even their own employees get frustrated if they can't use Claude or Codex. 6-9 months is a big difference and I think it's closer to 9 than 6. And never mind the harness etc are also many months behind.

In spite of their deeper pockets, massive datacenters, colosal amounts of user data, and hundreds of thousands of top developers, even Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google are well behind. I think Evans is completely wrong. There are only 2

You forgot no energy and deep resentment for anybody earning more than 85k/y (except politicians). Worst part is Europe was near the top of nuclear and microchips ~30 years ago, and France had bleeding-edge AI.

They figured out what headlines/topics get upvoted without reading and it's mostly crowd-pleasing ragebait slop. TBF the same used to happen like ~15 years ago at the peak of blogspam. It was only a little bit more work.

Last month I had this issue. Others confirmed. On X people say OpenRouter messes with headers or something (this I can't confirm).

DeepSeek API gave 6x to 8x better caching rate for inputs over OpenRouter (even chosing DeepSeek as provider). And some of the cheaper providers are using FP4 quantizations. https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-fl

GP is exaggerating but I am convinced this will happen sooner rather than later. The improvements in AI are truly exponential if you read the SOTA papers. It's hard to keep up week to week.

Now they will sure have a bunch of summits at fancy places flying first class and conclude them by issuing strong inconsequential statements and allocating funds with billions earmarked to be wasted by their pals (revolving door).

Low effort content. You keep mention your product from the start over and over. There's not much useful information in the anecdotal post. It could've been a one-liner tweet. Good corporate tech blogs at least give something usefu

I remember reading a similar tweet explaining DeepSeek breaks the insane Chinese work culture. They are against 996 and brutally grinding employees. They feel like a big family and that is their hedge against poaching by Chinese Big Tech wi
