I can call coworker right now and have conversation so frustrating that I wish I was talking to machine instead.

Didn’t Moderna use AI for development of their melanoma vaccine (which has recently shown spectacular results)?

Come on, Gary is compulsive liar with zero credibility and really shitty takes. He’s entertaining though.

Yes, 6 months vs 1 year is huge for technology that has gained wider adoption only recently.

Evil bankers/finance people vs ordinary workers performing jobs everyone can understand, that’s classic populist tactic.

It’s amazing how successful populism is, even HN is now full of populistic comments.

Price discovery and increasing liquidity is meaningful work.

Why do you hate it? It’s a great way for average person to get share in the profits of giant corporations.

Models equivalent to current version of gemini will likely be much, much cheaper, maybe even something like 100x cheaper.

> My physicist friend once asked me what the point of doing research was if someone like Terence Tao could have figured out everything in my dissertation in a tenth of the time. That's really mean thing to say

> When the EU was more a coalition of independent nations, it had vastly more influence and power in the world. Good luck showing causality here. Single EU nations have no way of competing with EU or China until we have real single marke

No, the reasonable position is to hold everyone to same standards. Single market makes no sense if every country is being held to different standards.

If EU wants to be superpower, we need more European integration and less of national sovereignty. Unfortunately it will never happen and we are doomed to become more and more marginalised.

It could potentially open doors for other EU states to ask for exempts.

History clearly teaches us that it’s a losing move.

It’s not inevitable but based on current trajectory it’s very likely. Not preparing for it is the opposite of being smart.

It’s a shitty advice (the one about not playing, not the one about not buying shorts). The winning move is to have diversified longs with long horizon. That’s all it takes to participate in profits from “rigged” system.

Excel has limited uses. AI threatens replacement of all cognitive work. Don’t you see the difference?

by azan_ 2mo ago
Indeed, comparing AI button in some app to putting deadly substances in basically everything is really dumb. They are not comparable at all and one is much worse than the other.

If AI would become better at cognitive work than humans, I don't really see what new jobs would be created.

by azan_ 2mo ago
The thing is - with AI the position that everything will change is reasonable, with crypto not.

Housing problem is actually NIMBY problem. People pretend that they want housing problem fixed, but at the same time they don't want to build any houses. Look at Austin TX vs other cities.

> I agree there are usecases, but image classification is not the hype. Still - that's great, can we get a link? Or let me guess it's internal, you don't want to doxx yourself? Why would I distribute software that's t

Literally everywhere. I'm running a scientific project where I've got to inspect large amount of whole-body MRI segmentations. The software available on market is very clunky for doing that, so I've asked Claude to write one

Ok, there are niche use cases but still - nothing world changing and real world adoption remains very low.

by azan_ 2mo ago
But that doesn't make sense. How can you evaluate if craze is warranted without evaluating underlying technology?

AI are improving their capacity at blazingly fast rate. Is noticing that AI psychosis? I'd say that believing that we are at the peak of LLM capabilities is some kind of psychosis due to large dose copium inhalation.

Comparing AI to crypto makes zero sense. We get tremendous use from AI right now, while 2 decades after invention of crypto there are still basically zero legitimate use cases. I repeat - the utility of AI is not some hypothetical but somet

> God forbid for national politicians to think about their națion first! Being pro-russia is being anti-Slovakian though. You get zero upside for teaming with terrorist state and all the downsides.
