Pantone is a business, so I guess this is what they assume will sell next year, but is a bland, boring, sad "colour". It would have been nice if they had gone: The world is a bland, boring and people are losing optimism, so we&#x2

That's my thinking. If I need to check up on the work, then I'm equally capable of writing the code myself. It might go faster with an LLM assisting me, and that feels perfectly fine. My issue is when people use the AI tools to ge

Coincidence? No, these are people for whom the computer is a tool. My smartest and most productive colleague run stock KDE and a more or less unconfigured Vim. He truly does not give a shit.

To some people, like myself, it has only in later years become apparent that RMS is autistic. In the late 90s, early 2000s is when I became aware of Stallman and his work on GNU and FSF. All that was pretty much always in form of writing an

So I believe it actually worse that the article makes it out to be. Currently AI "solutions" being implemented in places like call centers are often technical solutions attempting to pave over organizational problems. Many IT solu

That's my thinking. I get the argument for "reduced competition" but Netflix and HBO aren't competitors. They are just two companies in the same line of business, but with different production lines. I do wonder what it

I was thinking the same thing. A number of coworkers where trading stocks a few years ago and felt pretty good about their skills, until someone pointed out that making good stock picks was easy when everything is going up. Sure enough, whe

While I don't know, that sound plausible. Netflix can make incredibly technically beautiful shows, but that's getting cheaper and cheaper to do. Good writing is expensive and combined with data suggesting that people mostly look a

It's not like there's really any competition anyway. Prices are going up, I can't switch from Netflix to HBO, because the content is available across platforms. If Netflix just moves the HBO content to Netflix then that'

I don't know how this works in the US, which is why I'm asking, but you paid of part of your mortgage already, so if you could sell you home for what you paid, or more, the difference would be cash-in-hand. If you spend all that b

Just yesterday a friend and I was talking about writing a clone of a popular website, using the technologies of yesteryear. There's absolutely no reason why we wouldn't be able to make a credible competitor using mod_perl and db2.

Same for Apple would be my take right now. No point in spending billions trying to build and train an LLM. Better to buy AI services from e.g. OpenAI for a bit, then extract the valuable bits after the crash. The current crop of AI companie

The time to fix isn't really important, assuming that they took the system offline in the mean time... but we all know they didn't, because that would cost to much.

95% of ChatGPT users aren't paying customers, if they won't pay $10 per month, there's zero chance of them paying $100 or $500. That's not to say that there aren't many, like you, for whom $500 is a perfectly good d

That makes sense. It's not that the training didn't complete or returned a moronic model, but the capabilities have plateaued.

If pre-training is just training, then how on earth can OpenAI not have "a successful pre-training run"? The word successful indicates that they tried, but failed. It might be me misunderstanding how this works, but I assumed that

For some reason we decided to put a great deal of jobs in the city centers. Commuting to the edge of a city and then taking public transport to office doesn't really work, unless massive amounts of money are pumped into trains, busses

If Bun ends up at either IBM or Oracle, then it's a pretty safe platform, it could stay around for 50 years.

Looking that that PR and the interaction with CoPilot I struggle to see how it wouldn't have been easier to simply sidestep the AI.

Sure, but Replicate will probably cease to exist in the near future. So a more accurate title could be: Cloudflare buys out Replicate and transfers staff to internal teams.

The term "joining" irritates me more than it should, because you're correct in asking "What is the value of the transaction?". My guess is that they aren't joining anything, CloudFlare bought the company and is
