Thank you for your response! Appreciate making it open source. I think there would be a market for a pre-built phone that can be adapted to behave differently - think e.g. as a phone in art installation or escape rooms.

This is such a fun use of AI! Congratulations. If you buy the walmart version, can you connect it to your own pion server?

OpenAI now suddenly has a potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives to improve the GPU Ai stack for AMD. I am quite intrigued to see what that might lead to.

On the other hand, it's a hundreds-of-billions of dollars market...

I think stopping exfiltration will turn out to be hard as well, since the LLM can social engineer the user to help them exfiltrate the data. For example, an LLM could say "Go to this link to learn more about your problem", and the

While I don't disagree with your overall point, I don't think crypto is a good counterpoint here. Crypto is conditioned on using more and more energy to secure the network. As the value increases, more mining hardware can be throw

Perhaps it means OpenAI will pay for the graphics card in stock? Nvidia would become an investor in OpenAI thereby moving up the AI value chain as well as ensuring demand for GPUs, while OpenAI would get millions of GPUs to scale their infr

Maybe we can offload all bitcoin mining to the moon instead, and just transmit the winning blocks to the earth via radio instead. That way, we can outsource the tremendous emissions caused by bitcoin mining, and use the extra capacity on ea

I see it as an issue of path dependency - we had the option to invest in nuclear but did not. Instead we invested in solar, wind and battery. Because of this, the latter is now the better alternative, and it makes more sense to further capi

Another example: One-time covid tests with a microcontroller, optical sensor to read the result and bluetooth to connect to a phone to display the results. Previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29698

Okay, my reflection is as follows. Investing in nuclear power today is a bit akin to betting against solar/wind + battery. In my opinion it is a losing bet. For a nuclear powerplant to be economically feasible, it first needs to be bui

The most interesting thing about this statement is probably the fact that they felt it was neccesary to make such a statement.

I see your point, on the other hand I have never lost or broken a phone by dropping it. I also use mine around 3h per day. From that perspective, it is definitely something I get a lot of value out of.

I am a big fan of dropbox and pay for their premium subscription, but I am sometimes a bit confused as to the direction they are taking. They still have the best sync engine and conceptual simplicity in my opinion, but since "File Requ

Yep agreed... It's a bit like sifting gold, most of what it produces is crap, but if you stay with it long enough and put in enough effort you will eventually have something that works well. Part of the issue is that it is so fast to g

The VR venture can also be seen as a huge investment in hard tech and competency around issues such as location tracking and display tech for creating AI-integrated smartglasses, which many believe is the next gen AI interface. Even if the

Very insightful. I think the payment model would have worked out just fine if the state of the art was the optimization of GPT-4 class models to bring down the cost over time, which would have made the services profitable eventually. Instea

Sure, but Alphabet is insanely profitable, based on having grabbed a lot of market share in the search market and showing people ads. The AI companies är betting that AI will be similarly important to people, and that there is at least some
