This is yet another of these absolutely caustic takes that come with a veneer of intellectualism, but actually just ignorantly deconstruct reality. Each of them weaponizing the rules of the platform that (for sensible reasons) demand you en

I think it might tell us something about the culture there by now. Doesn't sound like it's engineering-driven, even though they still do have a lot of capable engineers sitting there and atrophying. I also wouldn't rule out t

You're missing all of the points that there could be by focussing on random people. While it is always an individual tragedy when people treat each other badly (e.g. through deepfakes and all), the real threat does not exist on that le

Aaah, free inference. Yeah that checks out and fits very well with weird Internet hype. Okay, fair enough. Thanks!

Can someone explain why people care about that? Both as in "Why is there a stealth launch like that in the first place?" but also "Why does it matter? Is it very good in something?"

What is the LLM doing there? Why does it need to be hooked up to the car for you to ask it which type of engine oil the manual recommends? What is the point?

The worst IMO is the bot accounts. And the worst of that IMO are the people that behave as if they were bot accounts. The self-promoting thought-leading experts (usually on AI) with a skin as thick as a single cell membrane. At the moment,

Ha, nice one. And same is true for the fediverse. It should've been like that with Twitter too, but Twitter unfortunately became the clubhouse of the journalist class, and they kinda did control the media. So they made everyone believe

From what I heard, bluesky (unsurprisingly) has the exact same toxicity problems as twitter. There was I think this piece of writing in 2024 (just googled it, don't quote me on that) https://www.thefp.com/p/jesse-s

Not really. I mean you'd wish that that was the case, but the reality is even bleaker. The "specific kind" is not all that specific. Like yeah, of course, the crypto, AI and business grifters are a lot louder on Twitter now,

I doubt that 40 million are a lot of money for TR. I also doubt that R&D spending having to "make back" directly is a winning strategy.

Yep. Explicitly enough to be legally safe for sure. Which is the thing with press releases. Would've been nice to not do the bare legal minimum tho

So it's a qwen fine-tune? I mean that's a reasonable thing to do, but then the press release shouldn't be written the way it is written. They're not as detached from the rest as the industry as the writing suggests. __ &

This feels less like an actually plausible threat scenario and more like someone wanted to play the inception horn sound effect in people's minds. Which isn't to say that it would be impossible, but you can also just hit people ov

Precisely. Now take that, but glue a "the machine has cryptographically proven that this is legit" to that.

I don't think that that's a good idea, because it implies trust when there actually isn't any. Being signed with something just means that whoever has that key could've done that. That might be the owner of a specific ca

Wait, I've posted the link 6 minutes ago and this reply is now 2 minutes old. You cannot possibly have read that. Unless this is an autonomous agent doing some engagement work thingy. Which the tone + story sounds like. Dang DAAAAAANG

Give it time. The industry is also still refusing to learn that the dependabot model of instant dependency bumps by now is a hazard, given that supply chain attacks are usually more likely than missing out on security fixes. I like your ide
