This means nothing when the Supreme Court is playing Calvinball. It turns out a constitution has zero value if you purchase the highest courts.

Provide evidence for one US Politician who cleared more than $500MM in grifting. Trump's crypto payments are 100% public data.

I think its unlikely to happen, but also, that they won't live through it if it does.

They probably won’t, either.

So you are saying you’ve worked in your garden for 12 hours a day? Multiple days in a row?
701.

You aren't going to spend 12 hours a day, 6 days a week working in your garden. When you get hot and tired, you'll stop. I think that is the more relevant difference in this particular topic.

Very true, even true below the executive level. I can be utterly exhausted from lack of sleep and still have productive conversations and keep my team unblocked and productive, but when I try to develop software in that state its a complete

I expect they'll keep training on the pre-2022 corpus and supplement with new curated material. Of course they'll use AI to curate so the same process will eventually happen but probably can be slowed significantly.

Did your kids spend a year doing virtual classes? Our district here did a pretty good job compared to most, but for many kids it was basically a lost year.

So teachers are...proctors? No reason to have every teacher recording their own lectures. One teacher per grade per district? Per state? Outsourced to the lowest bidder who generates it with AI?

The fact that Stripe is doing it in 2025 should already be a strong signal. If they were just like the clueless trendmongers who ran crypto initiatives at large institutions in 2019, they'd have done it then instead of now, after the G

This isn't a consumer payments system. Certainly there are use-cases where fraud and abuse aren't very relevant. A network of larger businesses could find value in expediting transactions but they are all long-term players and can

But you don't have a way to do that at scale, other than feed it to another LLM that is trained on that exact same limited corpus. There is no new information being added into the system in loops like that. New information means new me

I agree! DeepSeek has shown this is incredibly powerful. I think their Qwen 8B model may be as good as GPT4’s flagship. And I can run it on my laptop if it’s not on my lap. But the amount of synthetic data you can generate is bounded by the

I think we're talking past each other, I'll try once more. Suppose you train an LLM on a very small corpus of data, such as all the content of the library of congress. Then you have that LLM author new works. Then you train a new

Are they actually producing new data though? This is the sort of thing I called "compression and filtering" because it seems to be new information content is not being produced, but LLMs are used to distill the information we al

AlphaZero trained itself through chess games that it played with itself. Chess positions have something very close to an objective truth about the evaluation, the rules are clear and bounded. Winning is measurable. How do you achieve this f

Its not ok if there was deception, but it sounds just as likely its a communication disconnect in their call. We only have one side of it.

This doesn’t really support your position as far as most readers are concerned - it sounds like a disconnect. If they didn’t do this in any ad copy or public docs it’s not really in Mongo territory.

I agree with that, but it’s also fine for us to be skeptical of products that are clearly headed down that path, and recommend people not use them. That is what we are discussing here.

Or maybe your own announced bias against “rationalists” is affecting your reading of this. I agree with GPs interpretation.
