But X (formerly twitter) made it way easier for a bot account to appear legit. And the general user experience is still full of bot content. I don’t think it actually matters much if the barrier of entry is a bit more difficult to pass, but

Do we know the size of the model?

That doesn’t make that Kill Math article better

Are you talking about actual academic work or the pop- version of it? Because most of the damage I see is in pop-psychology, pop-sociology. In my limited experience looking into the topic humanities researchers make specific balanced claims

wtf, I missed that one. I’m really sorry for anyone living in the US but the country you knew is dead, whatever the new country is, the old rules don’t apply. It’s now closer to a 3rd world country where literally everything all the time is

I mean, yeah, that’s a very very low bar to be honest. Though I believe the ratio of bot traffic is higher than it was before

The people who tried something different and did the work on batteries weren’t Musk. That’s the comment I was responding to. Musk has been a good showman though, and he seems to be a genius financial engineer with a cult following

They very likely also do that

You have to be able to keep two different things in your mind: - yes OpenAI benefits from talking about actions Russia is taking against other countries and how they handle that - and also, Russia is one of the worst actor in the politics a

Doesn’t a sale require approval by OpenAI?

Just Google « buy x.com retweets » or similar and you will see a dozen company offering their services. Doesn’t look like a lack of activity on that area

Forgot about We, I love that book

You mean like Dune, the Neuromancer, Bladerunner, the Time Machine?

I think you just found what we will see in the S-1 prospectus of OpenAI

by dgellow 2mo ago
I mean, it will obviously crash at some point. With so much pressure on token price to go down that means way less opportunity for margin for AI providers. OpenAI is in a pretty bad situation
598.
by dgellow 2mo ago
At the price going down? And that it will continue to go down, even if the hardware improvements stop. Not sure what isn’t clear
599.
