I think EU politicians have either not grasped the seriousness of this situation, or they think that there's nothing that can be done so they don't talk about it. I'm not sure what's worse.

It's telling that they don't just tell the model what to think, they have to make it go fetch the latest opinion because there is no intellectual consistency in their politics. You see that all the time on X too, perhaps that'

While most takes here are pessimist about AI, the author himself suggests he believes there is a 50% chance of AGI being achieved by the early 2030's, and says we should still prepare for the odd possibility of misaligned ASI by 2028.

Thanks a lot. Interesting that without concurrent requests the context could be doubled, 64k is pretty decent for working on a few files at once. A local LLM server is something a lot of companies should be looking into I think.

That's really great performance! Could you share more details about the implementation (ie which quantized version of the model, how much RAM, etc.)?

We can see exponential improvement in LLM performance in all sorts of metrics. The key question is whether this improvement will be sustained in coming years.

I don't think it's as simple as that. Chatbots can be used to harvest data, and sales are still important before and after you achieve AGI.

It sounds like a good idea, but I can imagine the implementation can be quite difficult. If I look exactly like another person, who has the right to decide what I can do with my own image?

Tried uv a while ago and I was shocked by how fast and easy it is to use. There's basically no reason to use pip anymore, and if you're using only Python there's basically no reason to use conda either.

Quite clever and useful benchmark. This implies that without tool use, LLMs have a fundamental limitation when it comes to tasks like code review.

Raising the bar for salaries to be so high creates a huge moat for all these massive companies. Meta and OpenAI can afford to pay $100M for 10-20 top employees, but that would consume the entire initial funding round for startups such as Su
