So the only thing I am seeing here is physical or personal (I have no idea how you feel or what your emotions are. You are a black box just as an LLM is a black box.) The only thing you mentioned is the fan fic and I would happily take the

I agree with this so much. And on top of this, I have the strong feeling that LLMs are BETTER at code than they are at english, so not only are you going from a lossy formate to a less-leossy format, you are specifying in a lossy, unskilled

Programming is one of those things where everyone thinks they are above average, like driving. If most people are average, then just use the bot to spit out average code. Or better yet, if you are above average, use it to spit out average c

This is what clouds like AWS, Azure, and GCP solve (vertex AI, etc). They are already an abstraction on top of the model makers with distribution built in. I also don't believe there is any value in trying to aggregate consumers or bus

Whats the why now? AI makes the aggregation easier at first and then evenutally takes over the communication with the venue for contracts, etc. ?

I think thats a great analogy. There are a lot more people who can dictate a story page by page to a "writing machine" and create a 300 page book than there are who can write a 300 page book of a the same quality without a writing

The reality is that articles are worth something like .000000001 cents per read, not 1 or 2 cents. See music streaming.

I've always thought walled gardens are the effect of consumer preferences, not the cause. The effect of the internet (everything open to everyone) was to create smaller pockets around a specific idea or culture. Just like you have grou

Wait, you do know there are less black people in the US than white people so doing a ratio on absolute murder numbers is wild right? That makes that .92 useless. 2021. People incarcerated in state or federal prisons by race and ethnicity. R

Maybe another way to think of this is that you are giving the read only services, write access to your models context, which then gets executed by the llm. There is no way to NOT give the web search write access to your models context. The

The only way to be 100% sure it is to not have it interact outside at all. No web searches, no reading documents, no DB reading, no MCP, no external services, etc. Just pure execution of a self hosted model in a sandbox. Otherwise you are o

How do you sanitize? Thats the whole point. How do you tell the difference between instructions that are good and bad? In this example, they are "checking the connectivity" how is that obviously bad? With SQL, you can say "us

Is this a serious question? Why would they subsidize people when there is no benifet to them? Subsidization means they are LOSING money when people use it. If the customers that are using 3rd party clients are unwilling to pay a price that

I am not understanding how this is bad. Other than a guy made a bunch of money and is spending it how he wants. Or is that the whole reason?

Currency (or IOU's, handshakes, pieces of green paper, bits on a disc, etc) is just an abstraction allows one to have choice. The political systems that get built on top of that are just a downstream effect of the incentives that arise

If you go to their website and click the "Personalize" toast at the top and enter a random domain (e.g., google.com, hydroflask.com, etc.) it will change all the copy on the site for you.

People talked for a long time about filter bubbles. I think we are realizing that it was actually GOOD to be in a filter bubble (neighborhood, school, a few close friends, etc.) It is not that people have wildly different views all of a sud

Curious as to what companies you think DO have a moat? I would say their moat is the same as Facebook's. Not permanent (see TikTok) but also super strong.

Spending 1% of revenue on developer tooling would be insane. Spending 100% of a philanthropy budget on developer tooling would be even MORE insane.
