The transcript from ChatGPT they shared is interesting [1]. Only a few messages from the user were needed, mostly to present the problem correctly. The most meaningful one was a review on a preliminary report, made by another ChatGPT instan

It's actually fascinating to think that autonomous researchers will likely need a publishing system, simply because that would be the most efficient way to disseminate their knowledge. Would be a good way to keep humans somewhat in the

You didn't actually give an example of what the issue with next token prediction is. You just mentioned current constraints (ie generalization and learning are difficult, needs mountains of data to train, can't play chess very wel

I would add the Ukraine war as indicative of this as well. It exposed the fact that American supplies are severely constrained by their supply chain (apparently some AA equipment is going to be redirected from Ukraine to the Middle East now

There was even a post on HN yesterday making a similar comparison of LLMs and the impact of quartz in watchmaking. I think the comparison is warranted, and human-crafted code will perhaps become a brand differentiator in the future too.

Despite being arguably the leading frontier AI lab at the moment, Anthropic is punished for not following orders. Pete Hegseth now has the power to determine the economic policy of the US when it comes to AI. The US is becoming a state-plan

Do you seriously believe that your only alternative is to work building ads or weapons?

Licensing issues aside, the chardet rewrite seems to be clearly superior to the original in performance too. It's likely that many open source projects could benefit from a similar approach.

The specs are similar to what Google Pixelbooks had in 2017, except for the CPU.

I'd bet there is a huge market for a cheaper phone with GrapheneOS support. Lots of people in Europe and India right now looking to decouple.

So this week we've learned that even the government asseses Anthropic has the better model, and that OpenAI leadership has no concern for safety whatsoever.

I don't know, I think intent has also become cheaper. Agents have intent, and can summarize intent from the changes pretty easily (as demonstrated by this skill). In my experience Claude Code already does a pretty good job of including

Title could be "The Museums of the University". This is not only a US phenomenon, some European universities are essentially becoming museums if you look at their budgets and administrative priorities.

Decoupling would be painful and certainly hardware would be the most difficult challenge. However, consider that for all those companies you mentioned, Chinese alternatives are starting to appear and will be very competitive in the next few

One aspect of the AI bubble that is not talked about very much is how the European market is a key factor in any serious calculation about future revenue. If Europe decides to, or is forced to decouple its digital infrastructure from the US

It's true that the cloud act and other data handling issues were already there. There is one thing this US administration did that was unique though, which was to threaten the territorial integrity of an European country.

When a government funds an AI model, the issue of its ideological control and manipulation is different than a private AI model, for several reasons: - It uses tax money from everyone to reinforce views held by a portion of the population -

I remember multiple people at HN saying "show me ONE example where AI was used to produce commercial-grade software" like a month ago. Cloudflare alone has posted a couple of examples recently, and yesterday Ladybird was ported to

There will be a lot of those scams from now on. Take millions in funding for allegedly training a "sovereign AI" and buy a bunch of GPUs, delivering an actual good model is optional. The EU is about to fall for the same trick, may

Looks neat and original, congrats! I don't quite grasp how to interpret the training data attribution process. For example, it seems to say that for a given sentence like "They argued that humans tend to weigh losses more heavily

This already happens in Europe and China, today.

Doesn't that cut both ways though? What prevents me from taking the code from dbt-fusion and AI-laundering it to include all the new features on a FOSS fork?

GPT-J was the one that made me really interested in LLMs, as I could run it on a 3090. Some details on the timeline are not quite precise, and would benefit from linking to a source so that everyone can verify it. For example, HyperClOVA is

Ironic that you complain about people posting a to-do app because it's so common, and proceed to post the 100th AI rant of the day with absolutely no original thought in it.

Ok but now you have raised the bar from "open source" to "quality work" :) Even then, I am not sure that changes the argument. If Linus Torvalds had access to LLMs back then, why would that discourage him from building L

Thanks for the writeup. Does anybody know whether there are any European alternatives for Github that allow you to host private/commercial repositories without using self-hosting?

I believe the exact opposite. We will see open source contributions skyrocket now. There are a ton of people who want to help and share their work, but technical ability was a major filter. If the barrier to entry is now lowered, expect to

You are right that this is a niche subject, I doubt that he would be able to place his name as the best soccer player or whatever. However, a lot of commercially important things are niche. Who is the best lawyer in [<100,000 people town
