Before you used to manage your own subscriptions or communities to join. That was enough. My suggestion would be just having a whitelist for the channels or sources you want to follow that push non-slop content.

Except it's also a battleground for a ton of insidious recommendations that now distract you instead of educate you. I know many people who spend 10 hours+ a day just listening to inflammatory content It's also not just the consum

Can you explain further how AI slop can destroy your brand/reputation?

Sure, but this argument will never mention those that were just as good that failed. Simply to selection bias.

That just means they used a smaller and less focused model.

This tracking absolutely has impacted the average person. Have you noticed how addictive the social media algorithms are today? Pretty much everyone I know struggles to get off their recommended or "for you" tab at this point. It

These are still kind of bad, because it encourages a routine of playing every day. If I work 5 days a week and want to play only on weekends, I might get capped out when I do what to play. So it shifts the advantage to daily scheduled tasks

Even if that specific document wasn't in the training data, there could be many similar documents from others at the time.

49 of those times, it's hitting the best case of sorting an already sorted list, so I still can't imagine that huge of a performance penalty

How does it possibly take 1-2ms to sort... 50 items? I'd expect that to happen in an order of microseconds

Could an AI not be trained to emulate the look of analog film and its artifacts?

I really doubt they just happen to sound like an LLM. My guess is that they wrote in combination with LLM output, so they didn't copy/paste from a single prompt step, and did a good job of putting their own motive and ideas in the

I mean, they are different, but there is only a subset of like 3 big model providers. And we see hundreds of thousands+ of words of generated content from each, probably. It is easy to become very familiar with each output. Claude vs GPT bo

Could I tell if the last one is AI? Absolutely. Throwing a few "damns" in there didn't convince me. And all the reworking you've done, while it makes it a little more passable, has made it arguably worse in quality. The

Definitely experiment with quantization. In my experience, a rough rule is to just use the biggest model you can at the smallest quantization.

If you look at their figure (0.0377 kW hour) for a phone using 4G, the device power consumption is minimal and mostly made up by the network usage. The data center +network usage will be the main cost factor for streaming. For an LLM, you a

Fitting, since it came up with unrelated information (the R&D tax thing) and the 3rd bullet point. Also started talking about tariffs as if it had addressed them, then notes that it doesn't address them.
