You’ve provided me with a beautiful framing to understand some of the most obtuse and self-serving arguments I see on here: “ random adtech devs ”.

If his problem was feeling hopeless in a world outside of his control: well he may have solved that, regardless of whatever else happens.

Many years ago I was in my apartment and could hear chanting and the like in the distance from an antiwar protest. Suddenly I heard sirens, yells, and gunshots and thought something horrible had happened. Turns out I left Scaeffer playing i

Climate change solved: steal energy from adjacent universes, pipe our carbon waste into theirs.

Yes, it is dangerous, and to be clear a very very bad direction, but here we are - the us political system is visibly collapsing in real time and this will continue.

I literally have a PhD in social science and studied public opinion research at the graduate level with one of the field’s most highly accomplished political scientists of his generation. I also have a basic modicum of common sense and the

…and he was under active investigation for insider trading - which is a real crime the government will prosecute because it affects other rich people. Killing poor people is fine, cheating the investor class is not.

A) You literally cannot have a murder trial without presenting a motive or evidence of reckless negligence/behavior (eg drunk driving). This is not drunk driving, ergo motive will be central to prosecution and defense alike. B) His law

If they aren’t sick and haven’t had to use the system for life saving care, then the numbers from the same surveys you cite are VASTLY different. Please don’t cherry pick misleading data.

There’s an incredibly strong argument this particular person likely killed tens of thousand of people by his decisions to deny and delay care. This was not an employee carrying out orders from corporate, it’s the guy who is directly respo

I’ve spent days reviewing comments on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, news articles, et al and I’ve never seen such a uniformity of opinion on anything in my life.

No jury will convict the shooter, I suspect he’ll “resist arrest” and never make it to a court room for that reason.

That’s the one I’m using. So far it’s quite good, and when I gave it and Claude the same programming problem not only did Llama give a better result, when I showed that result to Claude it also said the Llama approach was better. Claude is

To be fair, Biden is currently President and this happened under his watch. The buck rests in the Oval Office.

The story does an excellent job of spreading blame, as evidenced by the figures you cite from the article. But a journalist’s job is to weave those facts into an actual story, which they’ve excelled at. This deserves Pulitzer consideration.

Llama 3.3 is insanely good and can be run on a Mac mini with 64GB of ram for $2k USD. OpenAI is screwed. (As an aside: very interesting Google tried to go closed source and objectively lost the race, and Meta went open and is the real threa

At some point there’s so much degradation with quantizing I think 8b is going to be better for many tasks.

I mean the newest ones. I only do LLM inference, whereas my training load is all DistilBERT models and the A6000 is a beast at cranking those out. Also by “time” I mean my time setting up the machine and doing sys admin. Single card is less

My time is worth a lot of money and 2x 4090 is more work, so it’s net more expensive in real terms.

I think about this a lot, I believe part of this just boils down to the fact that he’s a founder. He’s a builder, and I think that yields some intrinsic drive towards creativity and disruption. Even with “metaverse” being a laughingstock, t

At that point just run 8b.

I have an A6000, it’s about the most affordable for 48 GB VRAM (you can find for a little under $5k sometimes), which is roughly minimum to run a quantized 70b. System RAM doesn’t really matter, but I have 128GB anyway as RAM is pretty chea

Given that 90% of “ai safety” is removing “bias” from training data, it does follow logically that if removing racial slurs from training to make a non-racist ai is an accepted technique, removing “bad robot” fiction should work just as wel
