Lol okay buddy. That's why there are literally millions of people spending money every month and upgrading because of how useful this is. But there's always some big brained ape on hacker news who thinks they know better and every

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Midjourney are all branded as "AI".

I don't know what the point of your rant was. Nobody is talking about AGI. Even if the technology never evolves again, it's still dramatically useful to the tune of billions and billions of dollars being spent on it.

It's dramatically useful for millions of people who are now much more productive than they were 3 years ago, including the programmers who have 10x'd their output. Your superiority complex is nothing new... anytime new technology

That billions of dollars is being spent on AI? That's a wild claim?
246.
by bobxmax 2y ago
That's demonstrably false unless you believe millions of people are spending their own money every month for useless tech. I don't know how a thinking person can use this technology and not see the possibilities it opens up.

Wilders is also a fair bit more extreme than Trump.

Billions of dollars are being spent on very useful AI. You just notice the shitty ones, but people on HN thinks that's the norm for some reason.

> most art is bland and worthless and has no meaning behind it. FTFY. There is no such thing as AI art.

it's a great tool if you aren't an ornery artist who refuses to adapt to new ways and means.

I think that has more to do with the multiple year head start and multiple tens of billions of dollars in funding advantage.

> LLM do the read, analysis and summarization part for the human No they don't. The human is meant to read, analyze and summarize the output same as they would for search results
254.
by bobxmax 2y ago
Two questions: 1) Which search engine comes with infallible information? 2) Where are LLMs being sold as something different?
255.
by bobxmax 2y ago
You can probably sue Open AI for getting bad legal advice from ChatGPT too.

Why would it need to work at inference time?
257.
by bobxmax 2y ago
I don't know why HN users in particular fixate so heavily on fringe issues when it comes to LLMs. Same as the exaggerations of hallucinations.

It's also deeply damaging to the western ego, especially one rooted in American exceptionalism. But also one those of us actually working on foundational AI saw coming a mile away when most of the top research of late has been happenin

The resistance developers have to LLMs considering how much they're 10xing myself and many other devs I know is just sad to see. Anytime new disruptive technology comes in there's always an old guard that doesn't adapt in tim

But again, what exactly is it about their approach/thesis that's "predatory"?
262.
by bobxmax 2y ago
How, exactly?

How is that worse, as a VC firm? If I was betting on technology right now, I would bet on SF-in person teams with young founders and a focus on AI. Sounds like the perfect target.
264.
by bobxmax 2y ago
Depends on your money raised and your leverage. YC companies are typically top tier founders with tons of leverage and capital options.

Worst based on what, exactly?

If you know the flight and the date and time you can easily pinpoint exactly where the plane was and where it was heading. Not incredibly challenging at that point to narrow in on roughly where the photos were taken from.

They're at $90M ARR right now and accelerating, so no that's not ambitious. Midjourney is close to half a billion in ARR. Figma destroyed Photoshop & Sketch. Whatever, you have your opinion, none of the facts today support it,

No, you don't know. Stable Diffusion came before Midjourney. What first mover advantage? Flux has been around almost a year, by your reasoning everyone should have switched. They didn't. Everyone who used Midjourney a year ago is

Topaz Labs isnt' video generation, it's used for upscaling videos. How in gods name is that a comparable with Pika? What are you talking about? Internet creators are not "everyone". 99% of people aren't going to was

I would assume most non-trans people aren't willing to date trans people, so there's probably a pretty glaring need for them to have their own spaces.
