This is absolutely hilarious and so incredibly misguided... I promise you that Mohamed the neurosurgeon is not the reason your children are not able to become doctors.

I strongly disagree. I listened to a few of his interviews (one was the 5 hour long lex interview), and read the entirety of his more inflammatory blog posts. In one of them he specifically says he doesn't like modern London because it

They’re writing about it though, I think was the “got em”.

Based on his own blog post ( https://web.archive.org/web/20250925050154/https://world.hey... ) I would argue he does come off as racist. There are a lot of non-white british people (just like there are non

How is that the same thing at all? You didn't understand the comment you replied to and were confidently wrong. The person replying to you understood what you were saying very clearly and didn't make any ridiculous "you may n

Do you enjoy it still (if you did before)?

The truth is people just don't seem care about code quality anymore (if they ever did?). I don't think it generates great code (yes even using the state of the art, frontier, super max pro 9000 turbo boost ++ models), but it usual

They announced a new expansion for Warcraft III this past weekend actually. So they are definitely still trying : )

This is pretty typical for a new blizzard game. For example Diablo 3 and 4 were both announced 4 years prior to release. Not saying it’s good or bad, but it’s not unusual.

Look I don't entirely disagree but if guys like dario want to not be called a liar, perhaps he should stop lying on a regular basis

What I meant more is that the dataset they scrape is openly available for download by anyone, unlike any of the frontier labs. Not that they don’t scrape copyrighted content. Still sketch, but at least they don’t call themselves “OpenLAION”

by ryan_n 17d ago
Why? Because you disagree with them? Would you rather it be an echo chamber?

by ryan_n 18d ago
LAION and Common Crawl both scraped copyrighted images. From what I can tell (I'm not an expert in this domain at all), the main difference between those two and frontier labs is in how they stored and used the data. CC and LAION seem

You're right, it was an over simplification. I think public exchange of data is great for innovation and research (Common Crawl/LAION). But I still think scraping proprietary data without consent or attribution is generally bad (a

And if they decide they are in charge of determining who gets this cancer cure and who doesn’t? Still good? Maybe it is, idk, you may be right. But I think it’s something people should care about.

If they scraped internet data in the same way as current day frontier labs do, then I feel the same exact way about them. Why would I feel any different if that is the case?

by ryan_n 18d ago
The [lack of] integrity of OpenAI (and any other frontier lab) should already be pretty solidified. Among other horrible things, these companies stole millions of IPs and no one seems to care anymore. Regardless of what you think of the pro

I think people very much should care about who ends up owning these solutions. The person or entity that controls things like that just has more power, which isn’t necessarily a good thing

What the op was pointing out is that guys like Altman and Dario are repeatedly saying they’re going to cure xyz diseases and solve xyz huge global problems. Maybe their companies will eventually do these things, but haven’t yet. I don’t hav

This isn’t really true for many programming tasks anymore. And as the saying goes, “this is the worse they will ever be”.

Kinda depressing cus that thing used to be coding (or mastery of), which seems to be dying/being replaced by gen ai.

by ryan_n 22d ago
Do you actually think a person using an llm is going to start curing diseases and solve the obesity epidemic (in America) in lieu of creating fun personal software projects?? Or as another commenter said solve climate change? Surely you don

Wow thank you this was actually very helpful for me in understanding why I’m feeling so demotivated by ai. Gaining knowledge, even if not immediately useful, to become a better overall developer was a huge part of why I enjoyed spending so

What is a "real problem" to you?
25.
by ryan_n 22d ago
That's fair, I guess I just enjoy the craft of building stuff rather than the outcome/product itself. Which I know I can still do, but for some reason just doesn't feel the same now. Hard to explain I guess.

You can play PvP in those games. Not really the same with developing software. In fact, not using ai would probably make you lose if there was some “software PvP” mode or development.

by ryan_n 22d ago
For some reason, I feel much less excited about creating things myself just knowing that ai can do it in 1/10th of the time. Even if I know it wouldn’t turn into a business or make me money. I don’t know why that is, but I was much mor

Don’t worry I’m sure it’ll be in the training data soon enough…

Genuinely so confused about your last sentence, please explain…

Why do you think people that disagree with your opinion are gatekeepers? You can still use it if you want, no one’s gate keeping anything lol.
