How do you know articles like this are ineffective? I know people in my life who have discomfort about their jobs at Meta because of how other people view the company. One of them is planning to leave in the next year or so. The impact may

The cache shouldn't affect inference. It is purely an I/O optimization.

AI can’t write for shit because it doesn’t have your experience for context and it doesn’t know what you actually want to say. Hell, most people barely have a rough idea of what they are trying to say when they sit down to write, and they h

Weights are fixed after training, this is true. But activations during inference are not. They are quite dynamic. A certain configuration of weights, created in training, could be a system that can express something like emotion. The emotio

I live in an apartment building :/ Not a bad idea though. I have become increasingly selective with the animal product grocery items I buy. It’s expensive, but over time I think the price should go down as more people care about this.

The problem with this mindset is that it isn’t very useful or actionable, regardless of how true it is. Maybe try differentiating a bit? You could see if there certain scenarios that leave room for a better outcome for both you and a less i

And how do we stop? Must I become vegan…? I accept that may be the only meaningful step I personally could take. It’s a large one though… I do agree with the sibling comment that one terrible thing doesn’t justify another.

Why can’t there exist something analogous to emotions outside of carbon-based biological processes?

Thanks for owning up to being unclear about what you meant. Other people can't read your mind :)

Not for operating profit. Training is a one-time cost that gets amortized across every query. And either way, the training of new base models will eventually slow from the current frantic pace.

Vomit. We should ban 90% of ads. They are mostly net negative on society.

The first few sentences alone are pure Claudish slop (I didn’t read any further). The stench is unmistakable once you’ve looked at it enough. I’d also donate $100 if I’m wrong. I feel quite confident.

It's super obviously AI-written. I can smell this shit from a mile away now, after using Claude Code so much. In the just first few sentences I could tell.

You are saying you would feel differently if everyone who held this view quit their job? And you might take it more seriously?

A lot of the people quoted in the article quit their jobs because of this, so they aren't the "same" people anymore.

I heard they also tried to strong-arm them into removing the name of their collaborator who happened to work at a different company (Anthropic)... I haven't looked into it myself, but if true, that seems incredibly scummy.
