GPT-4 also cannot solve full programming problems, and frequently makes large errors even with a small focused context, as in Github Copilot Chat. However, it is still extremely useful and productivity enhancing. When combined with the righ

"Move to where you can do this if your local environment is too expensive or restrictive. Move to a new country if needed." Sounds like typical American arrogance. Everything you mentioned about building up a piece of land from ze

How is this related to AI in any way? Is it just branded as AI to get some share of that sweet AI money (Probably Google only allows funding new projects if they are AI related at this point)

Meta's stock crashed 10% on announcing $10 bil extra in annual capex (All in GPUs) Meta does not have unlimited financial firepower to release models for free. Its like saying you can't compete against someone who burns money. In

That's not very convincing against Nvidia. Since they single handedly created the modern AI market through CUDA.

Meteors exist, and there's nothing you can do to stop it, aside from clearly uneconomical shielding of every roof of every home. Its arrogance to think we are immune from unexpected and sudden death because we are humans. Also, cars an

How expensive are environmental reviews? Is it a purely on paper/surveying exercise, that doesn't require any construction to happen first? If that's the case, then I can understand environmental reviews taking a long time. I

That's expected, and why the model can reproduce the basic details. But those Japanese light novels don't have millions of forum discussions and essays written on it. So it shows how well the model can recall sparse data in its tr

This, Harry potter is a terrible example, even weak models know the rough story of Harry Potter unprompted. If you want a real test, go test it on some Japanese light novel, or some harry potter fanfiction, and see if the model actually und

Why is selling ads unfortunate? The newspaper industry was ad-sustained for a century. Credible journalism only persists in a handful of newspapers, because only they can be subscription supported, the rest depended on ad-revenue that got d

It doesn't affect the platform in any significant way. Because brands on substack belong to the writer, not the site. The money making substack writers don't care, every writer's substack is its own ecosystem. Substack is als

Do you know what cut Apple Pay charges you? Do you know many paid readers aren't even using apple devices to read them? It'll also cost time and effort for Ghost to somehow make Apple pay enabled for an open source platform (Proba

Well that proves substack is providing value. It proves the platform, that offers a high concentration of high average writing quality blogposts and a reliable trusted platform (For readers), has more value for readers, than some particular

Well, the counterexample is all those writers trying to setup some open source system for their blog, or move to some competing service. This leaves two possibilities 1. They are financial idiots 2. The competing services are also priced&#x

Yeah, and the quality of the 'marketing writing' is good and informative. Because A16z can afford high quality writing... These 'emerging stack' articles do promote their own companies, but are nevertheless useful for ne

Because no one other than tech VCs will touch media with a 10 foot pole. And tech VCs aren't going to change their entire investing mindset/philosophy for a deeply unprofitable niche with no chance to hit it big. There's been

Generic white collar jobs are far more vulnerable to AI than niche jobs. Niche jobs are hard to automate: 1. Very little public data to train on. So AI is bad at it. 2. Low savings from automation. So no incentive to spend tons of money to

They consistently undersell their product. ChatGPT was released silently, with no marketing more than a tweet. GPT-4 was just a blogpost, despite how much of a scientific leap it presented for mankind. Compare this with Google, which on the

GPT-4 cost about $100 mil to train. That's opex (Renting the GPUs). Expect the corresponding capex (buying the GPUs) on Azure's end to be 10x of that. Hence $1 bil GPT-5 being 10x the training cost of GPT-4 is a reasonable estimat

That's just $10b a year for 15 years, fairly conservative I'd say. I expect a GPT-5 training cluster to cost $10b (Say 100k blackwell chips + associated infrastructure), and a GPT-6 capable cluster to cost $100b. It sounds like a

Opus is big, because it gave people the first taste of what post-GPT-4 capabilities look like. For one, its a major improvement in coding, and a gigantic leap in creative writing abilities, going from high schooler writing to professional p

This seems only useful to people who once had a voice, then lost their voice. Because only this way, would they have a unified mapping of voice cord movements to actual voices. Deaf and mutes can't really use this. It also basically ma

There's nothing to enshitify, their models were open sourced. Now they may no longer release future models for free, but its entitlement to think we'll just get free improvements forever. Also not all CEO replacements turn out bad

That 'anti-adult tirade' is a strategic choice. 1. Open source even more capable 'adult models' and get sued to oblivion (They still have massive lawsuits) 2. Neuter the model to uselessness and have users abandon it. Bo

Wework transferred investor money to office building owners and the CEO himself. Stability transferred investor money to countless AI users in the world. Emad certainly didn't get a billion dollar payday.

Emad had the genius idea of essentially paying for the branding rights to an AI model. This was viewed as insane in the pre-ChatGPT era, and only paid off massively in retrospect. Also all those 'controversies' were mostly the res
