you missed the boat on natural language being the new interface best orgs will own their data and have full history in version control so that it's easier for LLMs and humans to work with, not walled garden traps

What a lot of people don’t know is that SWE-bench is over 50% Django code, so all of the top labs hyper optimize to perform well on it.

Yes it would require completely new hardware and most likely ditching gradient descent for alternative optimization methods, though I'm not convinced that we'd need to turn to discrete optimization. Some recent works that people m

Before we had proper GPUs everyone said the same thing about Neural Networks. Current model architectures are optimized to get the most out of GPUs, which is why we have transformers dominating as they're mostly large dense matrix mult

We really need new hardware optimized for sparse compute. Deep Learning models would work way better with much higher dimensional sparse vectors but current hardware only excels at dense GMMs and structured sparsity.

You could say the same about the car manufacturers, lehman and every company in the valley. The whole US economy is getting propped up by AI spending, and to continue on the scaling law ladder each new iteration requires 10x more investment

Scaling Laws are the ultimate VC ponzi scheme vehicle. Keep raising 10x more for each round of scaling and very quickly you get large enough to be able to bully anyone into playing with you. Sama got big enough to be able to twist any arm h

Worse than the bubble is what's happening to the rest of the economy. If you remove AI related spending the US economy is trending in a really bad direction. This bubble popping will definitely take down crypto with it and rip through

I wonder how Google built their empire. Who knows? I’m sure they didn’t scrape every page and piece of media on the internet and train models on it. My point was that the large players have monopoly hold on large swaths of the internet and

I used to work on video generation models and was shocked at how hard it was to find any videos online that were not hosted on YouTube, and YouTube has made it impossibly hard to download more than a few videos at a time.

Yeah it's even worse than that. These big cos will be incentivized to move whole teams out of the US since it will be easier to hire from other countries for offices in Paris / Zurich / Warsaw / etc.

Exactly like the internet bubble. I've been working in Deep Learning since 2014 and am very bullish on the technology but the trillions of dollars required for the next round of scaling will not be there if GPT-5 is not on the exponent

Would be interesting if this was a coding focused model optimized for Mac inference. Would be a great way to undercut Anthropic. Pretty much give away Sonnet level coding model and have it work with GPT-5 for harder tasks / planning.

Judging by the @america feed on twitter it will be all of the fascism with none of the fake MAGA populism. Good luck finding a constituency for that outside of a handful of billionaires and their groupies.

I've heard from someone who knows that they're scamming people like crazy. Supposedly they also setup a bunch of LLCs to hire influencers then never paid them.
