Cal Newport has been interesting on the topic. But it’s also possible to read Zitron and skip his personal opinions and just follow the discussion of financing, that’s what I personally do. I don’t understand why anyone would take the comme

The bubble you’re talking about exists, it is SF and the rest of the tech industry. It’s literally where the AI leaders are located, where they overhype each others

Zitron himself doesn’t call it fraud and doesn’t compare it to Enron (he said no, with his reasoning when asked in interviews, multiple times)

So far NVIDIA has been very careful, it’s not actual fraud, at least based on public information. It’s a very unstable and extremely risky bet, that is very likely to blow in the face face of AI companies, but it’s not fraud

It’s messier for LLMs because you cannot easily compare the cost between runs, outside of benchmarks. Evaluating the value of the output is already extremely hard. But then you add the fact that you don’t know the cost of the output before

I don’t understand the issue, cannot you ignore his commentary and just look at the numbers?

Yes, his thesis is pretty much correct, his personal opinions aren’t too relevant or valuable. It’s a mistake to take his predictions as the important thing, it’s pretty much irrelevant, the whole field is very dynamic and complex, and he o

You cannot regulate peer pressure, even with the complete ban you would still have kids using other platforms for social interaction and have peer pressure, like on roblox or whatever

It’s useless as a blanket statement, but not if you go in specifics. With enough public pressure targeted specifically at YouTube it’s completely possible they would add more controls, and is more reasonable than a complete ban of social pl

Thanks, that’s the type of details I was looking for, as I’m not a parent myself. That does sound like a bad situation, indeed. Though it’s also a bit strange that watching a YouTube video is a homework. I would have assumed that schools ha

Plenty of researchers study and publish on the topic of social media. You’re conflating internal processes/experiments where Meta was very likely damaging people with public research.

Brevity means less output tokens, which doesn’t really align with the AI vendors incentives (unless there is a causal relationship with people switching, of course). Though Claude 5 is not too verbose, it’s more like, full of incomprehensib

You’re using an analogy that removes the nuance from the topic in question

What is missing from device parental control?

The question is if that should be forced upon everyone under 16

Studies I read on the topic don’t demonstrate harm, what are you relying upon? Hopefully not Haidt’s book

What control is missing from parent who want to control their children? From what I see they can already set strict parental controls

FLOSS only exists because of copyright. Without it you don’t get a utopia where everything can be read and copied, you get the opposite, companies not sharing their work, artists not releasing their work. Sacrificing the whole culture built

Also, way more centralization, with all that logic pushed to a few AI vendors

There is 2 things: 1. Yes Amodei and Altman have been spreading fear of the upcoming AGI for regulatory capture, etc 2. However, there is the actual real situation of their system caught committing felonies Both are true, and overall in som

I mean, they do. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bottleneck. They control the supply and are taking advantage of the situation to increase their margin as much as they can while limiting their expansion (they have some valid arguments t

I’m well informed on the topic, thank you for the patronizing opening line

by dgellow 2mo ago
Why would that make you weak? It’s reasonable to take in account the way you feel

Who are those ram bottleneck skeptics you’re referring to? I cannot see them. I don’t know anyone who isn’t aware the AI rollout is responsible for years to come of bottleneck of HBM and other hardware
