I was thinking about leaving it there, but I think if you asked someone flat out about their freedoms, they’d care. In practice it’s, apparently, hard to notice when they’re under attack.

> one of the biggest learning is that larger, generic models always win You’re confusing several different ideas here. The idea you’re talking about is called “the bitter lesson.” It (very basically) says that a model with more compute p

“The Alogrithm” is just another idea being propagated by an algorithm anyway.

AI was a term that was around for decades as well, but it’s meaning dramatically changed over the past 3 years. Prior to gpt-3 AI was rarely used in marketing or to talk about any number of ML methods. Nowadays “AI” is just the new “smart”

Private discord servers for everything nowadays. The open searchable internet is dead for people trying to find community, imo.

AGI is, and always was, marketing from LLM providers. Real innovation is going in with task-specific models like AlphaFold. LLMs are starting to become more task specific too, as we’ve seen with the performance of reasoning model on their s

Both times trump won, this was true. The DNC is just allergic to putting forward candidates that people want to vote for. Kamala really ran a campaign like someone trying to lose.

It may not be what people want now, but it is what people voted for. People voted for tariff and massive day 1 changes and federal cuts. People wanted a loud strong man president who makes deals. These actions ARE what people (who voted) w

All of this is a fine thought experiment, but in practice there are physical limitations to digital processors that don’t seem to manifest in our brains (energy use in the ability to think vs running discrete commands) It’s possible that we

Uhh… cyberpunk 2077 literally had AI Wars and made a big wall around most of the internet to prevent AI from affecting anyone, except for one taxi company. Does that sound optimistic?

Not judging you for using AI for a post like this! Don’t feel bad. I just didn’t think AI generated bullet points were as impressive as the comment I was replying to did.

Notice the “IMO pretty” before the word “obvious” IMO means “in my opinion.” I used that phrase to express how the following statement is my opinion and not a universal truth. My “audience” in this case is myself. I do that because otherwis

I very much felt like that entire portion of the article was ai generated, actually. IMO pretty obvious, surface level, information and some prose on each bullet.

No gatekeeping. Anyone can write programs. But to build something which could handle a customer’s credit card, password, or other PII and charge them for it, you better know what you’re doing. It’s all fun and games until you’re the cause o
