By not using them on something political? Why do I care when I'll just use it to generate code?

Still, the clock is ticking. I don't know of any "new" company that would use Oracle instead of e.g. Postgres or would migrate to it. That's probably why they're pretty desperate to jump onto something new before th

China has most probably already achieved "escape velocity" on the software side. Now if they achieve parity, to some degree at least, on the hardware side with Nvidia it is very possible they'll overtake the US.

Isn't that the case with human "experts"? If you had encounters with doctors, mechanics, etc. you'll know you can get a completely different diagnosis for the same problem which obviously means (in most cases) that the p

The geopolitical angle of all of this is interesting. Will countries, especially bigger players really just hope they'll get access to something so crucial from the US or China? Probably the EU could pool together funds to create somet

Anth/OpenAI simply wanted the government to pull the ladder after them and ban models from China. Seems it blew in their faces and probably the new frontier models will be available only to a select few. Many people predicted this, onl

The Airbnb isn't just about the cost of homes but also the comfort of people living in them. Would you want to live under an Airbnb? With the constant rotation of people, parties, etc? I know it might shock many but a lot of people (I

The closer to the IPO the more marketing drivel we'll get from both Anth and OpenAI.

If WW2 Japan also had nukes the US would never drop those two. That's the whole idea behind MAD. Probably the only thing that stopped an open conflict between the US and USSR was them being nuclear powers and both sides being scared th

One thing to remember is that the $200/month subscription is heavily subsidized. It is more to promote use, especially to corporate users that pay for the API token use.

Well the fundamental question is does one see the US as a nation or some economic zone/factory where your worth is determined by how much you produce. In the first case the paid taxes argument is pointless.

by margorczynski 4mo ago
Maybe the Chinese are playing the long game by trying to bankrupt the US competition? Because there's no way this is financially viable.

But who'll pay for those ads? Why would I pay Google if it just plops out some LLM answer with maybe my site as a source - which 90%+ of people will ignore as they don't care about it.

Yep. The thing is people (maybe because of our limited scope) just focus on the depth and not the breadth. Because this is a general purpose model - it also has PhD+ knowledge in Physics, Biology, History, etc. I think we still don't r

Wow at the price hike. Still I think in the long run the Chinese will win if they're able to produce hardware comparable to Nvidia.

by margorczynski 4mo ago
The availability of open models with such capabilities are based on the goodwill of the Chinese. And that might end eventually, especially that the matter is one decision of Xi and the party.

This is correct but people with too big of an ego or affected too much by Dunning-Kruger) will try to say otherwise even when presented with ample evidence. Instead of a valid response you'll get "skill issue" from people tha

Probably because LeCun is from there. But top AI talent needs to be paid top cash and the taxes there are brutal for high earners especially.

I think it is also a matter on how the Meta stock comp works - and that people hired during the slump in stock price became very expensive once it came back up.

There are some short term ones but I doubt this will continue, especially for the more powerful models.

It doesn't look good for Anthropic, especially considering they are burning billions in investor money. Looks like they lost the mandate of heaven, if Open AI plays it right it might be their end. Add to that the open source models fro

The other thing is most people don't really care about price per token or whatever but how much it will cost to execute (successfully) a task they want. It doesn't matter if a model is e.g. 30% cheaper to use than another (token-w

Yeah but they still (at least to public knowledge) do not posses anything that could be called AGI. But as these capabilities increase they'll probably get an offer they can't refuse sooner or later.

I think it is naive to think the government (US or China most probably) will just let some random company control something so powerful and dangerous.

It has been useless for long time when compared to Opus or even something like Kimi. The saving grace was that it was dirt cheap but that doesn't matter if it can't do what I want even after many repeated tries and trying to push

Well my suggestion is that the local part (which could analyze everything that is happening locally, not only the screen) would be the initial filter and if it detects any hint it takes some data package and sends it to some centralized onl

Maybe something using AI could be implemented - does a screenshot of your game e.g. every second and if it detects anything that would suggest cheating then it informs some central system and sends it a movie of you playing for the final ve

Unfortunately a lot depends on the game and software you're trying to use. There are cases where (especially older) stuff on Windows doesn't work but on Steam it works fine. Also the hope is that when the Linux share of the market
