Me too. Just as most problems won't need "phd-level intelligence" (whatever they might want you to think, 10x devs don't require phd skills nor research abilities / test time compute for being good at their job), mo

What I can't wrap my head around is the fact NVDA almost is a representation of "AI infrastructure" in the narrative. It is weird now that everyone is saying the focus is be in inference / test time scaling compute: infe

You missed the most important part ;). How was it? Was it any good? Randomly bad/good?

Yesterday I read an /r/singularity post in awe cus of a screenshot of a lead management platform from OAI in a japan convention supposedly meant a direct threat to SalesForce. Like, yeah sure buddy. I would say most acceleracionis

It may do depending in context, but that's not the point and in fact is widely recognized as a ad hominem argument and fallacious by definition. Most emotionally mature people would stop arguing after something like that.

Adapting to it normally involves a lot of death and misery.

Obviously they do. That's the whole point.

That's like making a second reading and appealing to authority. The naming is bad. Other people already said it you can "google" stuff, you can "deepseek" something, but to "chatgpt" sounds weird. The mode

The guy has no capacity nor will to think in second order effects.

Soundblasters and other discrete audio cards sometimes have specialized high quality components like amps and DACs/ADCs in them. I can drive my Beyerdynamics DT1990 Pros through the headphone high impedance port of my Soundblaster Z fr

Didn't think of it that way, but I think you're right. As long as memes exist one could argue the LLMs are going to be poisoned in one way or another.

If you ask for a rebuttal you will get a rebuttal from ChatGPT, even if the most probable answer might be supportive or neutral. Ask an LLM and it will comply (if not censored).

It reads like a romance language grammar (prob. spanish) with words translated into English without changing structure. Source: I'm spanish speaker.

Grandparent mentioned "we", I guess they refer to a full class of "black hats" avoiding bad faith scraping that eventually could amass to a relatively effective volume of poisoned sites and/or feedback to the model.

You've said it, everyone knows this. You can't build a model out of an object and then say that said object is an instance of the model. The model is an useful derived abstraction that sometines can serve for better understanding

Are you suggesting some kind of invulnerability? People iterate their techniques, if big techs are so capable of avoiding poisoning/gaming attempts there would be no decades long tug-of-war between Google and black hat SEO manipulators

[edit: Nevermind, see below] The direct disclosure of urls and ports is insane. Wonder if they would be as irresponsible if it was MSFT, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. PS: Not defending DeepSeek for bad practices, but still. Nothing irresponsible

Is there literature about Jevons paradox invocations during gold rushes?

A bubble around a technology can pop, and yet the tech can be ultimately valuable in the long term. That does not mean it wasn't a bubble nor it didn't pop.

In fact, I'm not sure how the "we will need tons of centralized inference infrastructure" argument works when Apple with +50% smartphone market share in the USA has a totally opposite strategy focused on privacy: on-device in

I wish I was so confident about future events.

by mrbungie 2y ago
Parent never suggested it was due to DeepSeek specifically, but for supossedly structural reasons if you follow the first paragraph. I'm just calling out that "last year" wasn't really "last year" if you follow

by mrbungie 2y ago
Sure, 31 December 2024 is by definition last year, but at the same time that was not even a month ago.

A supposed future event, invoked by a unconstrained interpretation of Jevons Paradox, is not a fact.

And the competition to CUDA is? We're talking about CUDA, not inference chips.

Do they want to give off the vibe that their software is unreliable?. The same kind of software they want us to run 24/7 in enterprise/gov settings.

Legalities don't make them any less hypocritical. Their strategy right now is to socialize the negative externalities (copyright does not protect anything from them) and capitalize the gains (ToS says you can't use their outputs).

I see almost no incentives for NVDA to do so as long as they have no real competitors in that space.

It is a 671B params model, but I guess you already knew that from the title. But you're right, just let's keep waiting for the town-sized Data Centers + Power Plants kindly served by our big tech overlords. PS: If you refer to it

With other providers giving away similar products for free (Google AI Studio, DeepSeek et al) right now, I'm not sure that counts as commercial success when it is not sustainable. The same is happening in enterprise tier products, Copi
