"Irregular says"? That same company is misreporting all these alarmist headlines while withholding evidence, funded by Ethical Altruism - see below (footnotes) https://www.effort.news/irregular

The same company that applied absurd valuations to AI infra (see below) - I agree with the 'repricing' assessment to a severe degree, but what is one of the main investor's intention here? https://peinsights.substa

Cliche topic - from a few years ago (the "RAG is dead" vs "All You Need Is Advanced RAG" BS - it came in waves and cycles, spread by bots on social media networks). "Pruning RAG Context" is trying to recycle th

Article is authored by a private credit firm who assigned absurd valuations to AI infra (see below as an even super recent example) - what is their intention by writing this (is it due to the AI fear narratives around software investments t

Great viz; the original paper wasn't peer reviewed; it might be great but I've learned its a waste of time to read those in current times (sorry and take this as one data point that suggests they should have done that). That said,

Smart guy phoning it in now - realized a few weeks ago that he “notices” something interesting to share, but is really paraphrasing a recently released paper that found it - without giving paper credit.

Being the datacenter is apparently mostly a scam, curious on who concocted an attack as an exit? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openais-massive-stargate-data...

Hypothesis is he will blame his recent poor decisions on the probabilistic AI agent he was using (or psychosis).

Considering how YC companies are customers of other YC companies (presumably to lift ARR), how many YC companies have Delve compliance? Should we worry about AI startup customer data…

Ezra Klein - any premise he has had in past 1-2 years is built on a maligned belief in AGI that is unscientific. Have heard he recently pivoted eg “moved goal posts” for his AGI timeline but the guy appears to be wasting time following delu

This guy generalizes lots with “could” and “might” like a politician, why waste energy responding to it?

I've spent about an hour a week on this since Jan. Traced a large % of bogus news stories this year back to Reuters (fwiw) before they are picked up by other outlets and spread. I've found legitimate stories also sourced from Reut

Sorry but your concept of AI is marketing driven. It's probabilistic, understanding is past your pay grade.

Exactly - AI allows for intersections in concepts from training data; up to the user to make sense of it. Thanks for stating this (I end up repeating same thing in every conversation, but is common sense).

You naively replaced deterministic process w probabilistic process - following a trend that is uneducated. I am taking screenshots of blogposts like this for a museum exhibit opening next year - lmk if you’re willing.

Caveats: 1. It's 101 pages (do # of pages correlate with aggressive effort to be authoritative, e.g. 'state of the world' pdfs. 2. This appears to come from the AGI existential threat doomer camp - does it even have any vali

Lol Yh I get your point - post is not necessarily designed to prove AI use (it's already highly probable, and not necessarily bad by itself in theory) it's the implications of it that are more interesting than deterministic eviden

If I’m following correctly, this drama is like a Netflix series (and I agree, crazy stuff we couldn’t make up). If it’s only the Trump admin policies here, yeah it’s crazy bold (and which I state the ethical implications of). Science ficti
