ML inference should cost a lot more to run than typical SaaS too... that said, I'd pay more than $20/mo for access to GPT4 or Claude 3. It is worth at least $75/mo to me. I pay for both right now just in case one is better th

Maybe the species that create advanced AI use it to extinct themselves before the AI is fully autonomous and self-sustaining? Presumably "help an ~average intelligence but crazy person make a bioweapon" would come before AI capabl

I suppose it is subjective, but it seems to be a pretty much near-universal sentiment among gamers I know that "pay to win" sucks.

I've witnessed something similar, seeing someone quit a hard drug habit but still being stuck on nicotine for a few years before finally quitting. However, I don't think this says much about the inherent addictiveness of nicotine

For me Delta has been the one that is garbage lately. It used to be my favorite but the last five flights have all had something go wrong. When I requested proof of delay for travel insurance it took them ages to send it over. Tbf though a

I don't do Swift or JS/React professionally (well, tiny bit, but I'm not a "React professional"). However, I've made non-toy Swift/SwiftUI* (~7k loc) and React (~4k loc) project. Imho Swift/SwiftUI is

To whatever extent something like this can be done locally, I'd probably pay a monthly sub for it if its good enough. But I wouldn't want any of that leaving my machine, we get tracked and profiled enough as-is imo.

The crazy thing to me is that they given the videos they originally showed (100% Sora?) they didn't need to falsely advertise. What it can do is incredibly impressive without dressing it up.

I'm normally on board with variations of this argument for things that don't significantly affect other people, but cars very much affect other people. Larger cars are more likely to kill other drivers, and especially bikers and p

I don't watch livestreams but I have Patreon subscriptions to two YouTubers that I enjoy. They focus on fairly niche topics and if everyone thought of paying them as "wasting money" I doubt they'd be able to produce as m

And cost-efficiency, if I'm using an LLM as an Siri-like assistant on my phone, most of the tasks I'll want it to do won't be that complicated and it would be a waste to send them to some SOTA LLM in the cloud, which I'l

Another data point, I definitely find Opus better for coding, but not by much. The problems I give them are generally short (<= 100 lines) and well-defined so any advantage Opus has in larger contexts won't be apparent to me. They&#

While I agree that GPT4 (in the web app) is not as good as it used to be, I don't think it is anywhere near GPT3.5 level. There are many things web app GPT4 can do that GPT3.5 couldn't do at ChatGPT's release (or now afaik).

Yup, Claude is my go-to now. Both models seem equally "intelligent" but Claude has a better sense of when to be terse or verbose + the responses seem more natural. I still use GPT4 when I need code executed as Anthropic hasn'

Ticks carry a lot more than Lyme though, and many of the diseases they carry can have long-term or life-long effects. Even with a Lyme vaccine I think it'd be worth it to take these if you're gonna be in a tick-heavy area. https:

Eh it was great value when it was just Netflix or just two services but now I feel like there's often only 0-1 shows on a given platform that I'm interested in at any one time. It isn't "good value" to pay $15+ a
