Just to be clear to those replying to me about the ethical considerations: the point I'm trying to make isn't that these companies shouldn't be ethical; it's that if they actually behaved ethically (at least in the way t

Then I suppose the whole blog post is moot, eh? I don't disagree with what you're saying. But the premise of this blog post is that Norway's government would be a good owner of OpenAI because they'd influence the company

This is pretty low-effort even for the typical "AI is bad" blog posts that get submitted to HN.

This is a very "funny" post: - OpenAI can easily not become anything of significance in the future, even if the OP's prediction of the future becomes reality. I'd argue that being bought by a government and controlled wi

Just another article re-iterating the same bearish takes on these companies with sprinklings of quirky uses of profanity to let you know the author is a human. If you're not interested in reading the same thing you've been reading

I've really only ever interacted with two kinds of engineers with respect to their take on AI: 1) Those with cautious, but enthusiastic, optimism for the technology and an understanding that things never work ideally in tech and any ad

The excessive commenting has definitely been noticeable and very annoying. I'm not against abundant comments as long as they're pointed and appropriate, but these models are literally just leaking their overly verbose output into

I'll give you credit for at least offering a specific, somewhat unique take. But this is a pretty dumb take lol

I mean, this is cool and all, but 2 DGX Sparks is like $10k, right? That's a huge upfront cost to run DS4 Flash 0731 which is definitely not comparable to higher-end Claude models. It's extra egregious when you consider how much i

This is a matter of politics; it's a matter of reputation. I'm fine with using AI tools offered by companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google despite knowing that these companies are ran by billionaires who are much more aligned

by nater5000 2mo ago
Right, I imagine the main users of Grok are people like you who are using AI to discuss politics or whatever. It makes sense that there's an AI product out there for people like you, and it makes sense that Musk is the guy to offer it.

China is clearly the US' main adversary. I don't take it personally and I don't believe China is inherently evil or something, but you'd have to be an idiot to be a US citizen and believe that you can trust China more th

It's crazy that I'd literally trust a Chinese AI company with my data over anything Musk is involved with. Like, even if you don't care about (or even like) his politics and can look past how unlikable he comes off as, the da

As if this has been the case in decades. AAA studios are constantly producing polished slop while indie devs are producing great products that arguably look like shit. If you're making decisions about what games you're playing bas

This is cool. I definitely think the "micro" sized LLM space is underappreciated, so it's always good to see work like this. I foresee a paradigm in some contexts where you have a hierarchy of LLMs, with more competent models

It's been this way for a long time, basically since deep learning became the "default" for ML. I remember back in 2018 taking a "Deep Learning" course and one of the most emphasized aspects of the approach is how mu
