Big data was always a buzzword that was weirdly coopted by database people in a way which makes 0 sense. Of course there are vanishingly small number of use cases where we need fast random access to any possible record to look up. However w

Szegedy and some others were working on science-related (math and natural science) projects at Google prior to leaving. This is probably just piggy backing on their prior work without any commitment going forward. Of course they're not

Even OpenAI is burning money. There is no way that xAI is worth more than Twitter. Inflection basically collapsed: the founders and best of the technical team jumped ship to MS. They were massively overvalued and basically produced nothing.

Their founding team and first few after that are top top tier. Honestly some of the best engineers at DM. Unsurprising really given that he was offering ~$10M/year in comp. The rest? Who knows.

Then why pull the voice in the first place? If it goes to court I’m sure discovery will unearth a bunch of emails and slack messages pertaining to this as well as documentation about the make up of their training sets and casting and perfor

This is so off topic but he's literally a Griting-101 playbook follower. Harks about strength of will, male manliness and clean rooms. Gets addicted to benzos, goes to russia to get himself practically lobotomized and films himself dis

In the case of Peterson, I'd say it takes one to know one.

Scarlet Johansson literally mentioned that Sam personally reached out to her team. The CTO was on stage presenting the thing and the CEO was tweeting about it. Please explain for us which part of this is happening without the CEO's sig

Johansson is rich. The real value she could get from this would be as an advocate for the rights of creatives, performers and rights holders in the face of AI. If this goes to discovery OpenAI is done. How much do you think Disney or Univer

"Tactical charisma" is a good one. Honestly though, if you actually listen to him and read his words he seems to be even more devoid of basic empathetic human traits than even Zuckerberg who gets widely lampooned as a robot or a l

Then why bother mentioning an "underdog story" at all? Who is the underdog in this situation? In your comment it seems like you're framing OpenAI as the underdog (or perceived underdog) which is just bonkers. Hacker News isn&

It’s wild to me that there are people who think that OpenAI are the underdog. A 80Bn Microsoft vassal, what a plucky upstart. You realise that there are multiple employees including the CEO publicly drawing direct comparisons to the movie H

I’m sure they are salivating at the thought of discovery forcing OAI to crack open their datasets so they can put a dollar amount to every piece of infringing material in there.

Everyone knows what you meant. But it’s not up to them to “settle”. If she brings forward a formal complaint they can offer to but she has no obligation or incentive to accept. This may turn out to be something they can’t just buy their way

She has no incentive to settle and actually could win big by being the figurehead of the creative industry against AI. It’s understandable why she accepted a settlement from Disney, but there’s no reason why she should settle with a random

There isn’t a positive announcement here, what is wrong with you? This reads like “we got caught red handed” and doing the bare minimum for it to not appear malicious and deliberate when the timeline is read out in court.

Scarlett Johansson made Disney cave. She’s going to absolutely destroy this band of grifters.

Combined with Murati’s reaction when asked if they trained Sora on YouTube videos, it’s obvious that OpenAI has trained their TTS systems on a whole bunch of copyrighted content including the output of professional actors and voice actors w

Perplexity especially is absolute garbage for 99% of people and their use cases. Google search is instant, available from every browser window and works with minimal keystrokes. LLM based search is such a bad experience on mobile where veri

Did you really make a perplexity clone if you didn’t spend more time promoting yourself on Twitter and LinkedIn than on the engineering?

Yes all of that stuff you posted was sure objective. It’s amazing how triggered you got at the mere suggestion that Elon might have made a mistake. Real snowflake energy.

Try to be more disingenuous. Porn and bots (most of which are porn related) were some of the stated reasons for Elon to back out of purchasing Twitter. Porn has always been part of Twitter, the old company always tolerated it but tried to a

Lol “I don’t know how to find porn on the internet”. Sure, guy. Porn bots were literally one of the arguments Elon made about Twitter’s overvaluation.
