In this case the goal is bringing about the singularity, basically creating a sort of godlike intelligence. That's what the arms race is all about. So we are in a true prisoner's dilemma, if one of the companies / countries s

In a prisoner's dilemma the players can't rely on one another to self-regulate. This is why Mafias kill snitches, so when their members are in a prisoner's dilemma they can rely on the knowledge that if themselves or the othe

Comparison is the thief of joy. I remember when I first got a 1080p display, comparing it to my previous 480p one the difference was amazing, but before I got the 1080p display I had no problem with my old one. All that to say.. what's

A non programmer can iterate on an idea just as well as a programmer. First guy I mentioned spent a month tinkering, testing what he could, getting a basic high level understanding of the problem space to understand why his prompts didn&#x2

I've met at least one person that has gone pretty far on a somewhat complicated project who has literally zero programming experience. he did it for fun. I also know someone that thought about making a SaaS for his specific niche he wo

the better AI becomes the more non-programmers will be able to use it to build apps, and because they don't know how to program themselves they will use FAR more tokens than us to achieve the same thing. As long as AI is good enough

idk if it's really worsening, someone who has the same issue can apply the patch. I understand why they rejected it but also I'm not willing to learn everything that DS4 did there since I don't plan on working on ffmpeg filte

I don't think inference is subsidized, it's the training. So what happens is, there's no new models anymore or are released slower.

wow, did not expect blender to be 32 years old, thanks for correcting me. but still, they were open sourced about 1 year apart. I still think having a bigger user base is a good reason for the difference

Unlees you invest thousands your local ai won't even come close to the cheap cloud llms. Local is only worth it if you care about privacy or have a legitimate usage for the hardware otherwise. Money wise it isn't worth it

since pi is built to modify itself, isn't it better to use a language like typescript where LLMs have a LOT of training data? a harness doesn't do any computations by itself so what benefit is using a compiled language?
