It's lack of trust

Yeah lol. That definitely does not sound like philosophy. Giving a "why" you want to implement a feature and make particular changes will help the AI stay on track much better than if it is driving blind. It can't make choice

The fact that dozens of companies seem to have been able to produce great models, and the mid-tier ones are only months behind the frontier models tells me that just having a great model is not much of a moat. It may actually be having the

Saying it's like Pepsi criticizing Coca Cola is probably a better analogy.

From what I understand the waste problem is tremendously overblown. Move it to some storage facility somewhere, that's fine. Just keep it on site, that's fine too. A typical gigawatt reactor produces about 20 tons of waste annuall

This was a good read, thanks for sharing. I feel like the best way to fight this, if I was the government, would be to stop enforcing laws preventing patients and even doctors or hospitals from importing the overpriced pharmaceuticals from

There are a lot of government jobs I know of that are absolutely air-gapped. Your computer has basically no internet access, everything is stored on-prem. Hedge funds also tend to be extremely locked down, from what I saw when I interviewed

Yeah, on the H1B there seems to be a separate issue. Posting a job listing that is intentionally hidden or otherwise not going to get bites. That way a company can say that they couldn't find a candidate and have to hire someone in nee

Yeah. Going to be a lot harder to do this when other people in the company bring up that it is illegal.

I'm just trying to get it to help me learn physics. If my topic of interest shifts to mid-20th century European history I'll keep what you said in mind.

I think that's overstated, but the loss of trust companies have with the big AI players is pretty serious. Not a big deal if your app is for sharing cat videos, but if you're medical or wealth management or a government contractor

Nice! Do you do anything with that compute when you're not actively using it? Is the crypto-mining hobby still worth it? I've also wondered if such expensive hardware can be rented back out to offset cost. Looks like these cards a

Very curious what hardware you're running this on!

I'm curious when coding-heavy companies will start running their own on-prem AI clusters. Has anyone had the idea to sell something like 4 GPU machine an engineering team could throw in a closet somewhere and run whatever they want on

I've been teaching myself physics lately and have found Grok to be one of the best both at coming to a correct answer and helping me to understand how to get it myself. It also seems a lot better than other models at saying "I don

It was actually 4500, but that was at the $135 price. With it having gone up 40% that number might now be more like 6500.

Sure. That's what they say but does anyone actually trust what they say about where they are getting their data? They also had a legal requirement not to steal IP, they said they weren't and then it came out that both OpenAI and

Random thought I had on bats since they "see" by hearing reflected sounds: Can bats know what another bat is looking at or even see what another is seeing by listening to the other's echoes? I imagine they can also recognize

Even with information integration theory it doesn't explain any of the why or what is happening of subjective experience and there still seems to be a leap in there that has a mystical or mysterious aspect to it. Basically [specific me

Well do you know of any non-duelist and theoretically testable theories on consciousness? I'm just pointing out when the non-duelists are completely stumped no one should be surprised if alternative ways of thinking get thrown out ther

I think people like this are mixing up the hard and soft problems of consciousness. The soft problems are things like figuring out what causes the brain to be awake, retain memories and respond to stimuli. Those can all be all be approached

I notice certain philosophers seem completely baffled by anyone being interested in the "hard problem" of conscious and things like qualia. A good example is Daniel Dennet. He seems to understand what qualia is but can't seem

I often hear the assumption that LLMs can or will become conscious because consciousness is likely substrate independent . The idea being that our brain is just a computer made out of meat and it doesn't do anything that can't be
