I think I agree. I find it a little bit annoying that they do not start by a survey of the existing landscape, discuss the issues and what works well, and spend the effort to show that they can indeed to be trusted as the authority behind s

I understand it is the former. They basically give money to be spent on compute, meaning it goes to hyperscalers who themselves buy NVIDIA GPUs. That’s how you end up with OpenAI and Anthropic together representing more than 70% of the hype

It’s actually really cool, and not just for AI. That should make it easy to automate some processes with simple scripts. Nitpick: it’s annoying that they add Model to those acronyms, for what seems like a fairly universal software interface

A readme and repo that looks authored by an actual human. Congrats on shipping, that looks pretty cool!

Yes LLMs are a beautiful way to compact knowledge. It would be such a cool technology to develop and worked with if it wasn’t linked to such a toxic industry

I agree, just don’t lie about it. You can present it as a cute little robot pet without problems. No need to say “it expresses and feels emotions like a real cat”. The AI industry has normalized lying about your products to a whole new leve

I learned a new term for that earlier today, I believe your falling for the goomba fallacy: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy

NVIDIA has a research lab (actually, multiple given how massive they are)

I don’t deny there is a market for it

Because it’s a lie. And is pushing for even worse sycophantic products > Emotional AI Support, Powered by Intelligence Targeting emotionally vulnerable people with AI promises is pretty disgusting

If that’s the case the solution is to ban or very strictly regulate those AI companies having such a massive level of externalities. Like any other industry that would put the whole world economy at risk. Keeping them running and patching t

People think about policies day 0, meaning when they are implemented, and not how they evolve and degenerate over decades. UBI would obviously be used as a mechanism to discriminate and punish people the decision makers don’t like

LLMs were fun and interesting to use and explore before they started to be pushed absolutely everywhere with the most aggressive tech rollout we ever experienced, all the financial engineering, all the moral judgement and prospects of a dul

Look at the CCTV at https://apnews.com/article/climate-change-nepal-tibet-glacie... (second video in the carousel). That’s just pure horror, nightmare material

Because they are mostly research departments (aka a lab) turned into a corp structure. It’s not a new phenomenon, just that until recently labs didn’t get $1T valuations so you see it more now

Did we all forget that the US administration has ultimate control over US AI models? That was just a few months ago

So, literally the same 1k increase?

OMFG, the CCTV footage is horrible, a complete nightmare

What makes you think it’s a screenshot from X (formerly Twitter)?

You’re making the usual HN mistake of focusing on the technical aspects

(He’s not CEO anymore)

by dgellow 2mo ago
It’s the whole internet, it’s not an HN problem. The AI industry is little by little invading and destroying every space where humans gather, removing everything that made genuine human interactions interesting and worthwhile. (Also, don’t

I mean, here the submission is about a CEO who fired the company to replace them with LLMs. That would have been a an HBO‘s Silicon Valley joke a few years ago

Trump tariffs aren’t for economics reasons. He’s using that as a bullying tactic. It’s pretty obvious given that each tantrum is followed by a new tariff
