So you’re saying Meta stock grew this year because they released an open source LLM?

Ever heard of pytorch?

They use the models they opensource in their own products, no? I don’t think Meta is looking to profit selling LLMs…

Not my daily experience. It’s been impossible to get relevant answers to questions on multiple languages and frameworks, no matter the model. O1 frequently generates code using deprecated libraries (and is unable to fix it with iteration).

The flipside to this is you can’t get answers to anything _recent_, since the models are trained years behind in content. My feelig is it’s getting increasingly difficult to figure out issues on the latest version of libraries & tools,

I’m guessing when making an artistic depiction of something going very fast in space, that sort of parallax helps? The goal of consumer content (including the ones by spacex) isn’t to be realistic, it’s to entertain That said, “the expanse”

this is an excellent example that despite all the technical limitations (the ugly image artifacts, the lack of exact image consistency, etc), it's _already possible_ to create something that connects. The "format purists" cur

to be fair, that's exactly what the asset class EXISTS for - betting on huge outcomes, no matter the odds. People misunderstand that due to how much of tech is "VC funded" when building stuff that would fare better as a boots

I think what you mean is "Google is complacent, so they don't think they need to make a lot of effort to stay relevant"

google's approach to shipping products is puzzling. It's like they don't care if anyone uses them at all

LLM as a service is much easier to replicate than physical data centers and there's a much lower potential user base than consumers, so I'd imagine they're swimming upstream into B2C land in order to justify the valuation

tech is increasingly dominated by grifters, as they tend to sound more convincing than the classic hacker and are tend to have "fluid morals", which is important if your goal is to take a billion dollars from VC money by lying you

They're "creatively connecting" to an autotuned version of a human, not to a "flawed Bob Dylan"

by herval 2y ago
The flipside of that is the most popular artists of all time (eg Taylor Swift) do autotune to perfection, and yet more and more people love them

The negative effect on brain development of young people has been extensively studied and proven, by many different studies across many different countries.

to be honest, it's a flaky analogy at best. Houses are physical constructs - you can't have the toilet be physically in two different places of the house at the same time. Also dramatic changes (eg rebuilding an entire house) take

There's many interesting books on the subject - "the culture map" is a fun and easy read, covering examples on various cultures (and how to create a more welcoming environment by being aware that differences exist)

A key thing any senior leader usually learn is that you MUST adapt your behavior in front of the audience, depending on the audience. People won't react to your "charisma" the same way, and being consistent isn't a neces

Kids can’t switch their own school because they’re not their own legal guardians until they’re 18. You can’t switch nationalities just because you want to. That doesn’t make your country a penal colony. You can OBVIOUSLY it be in school. No
