I know you dont to hear this, but theres just a hump to get over with this. Same with any investment. Youll be laughing 50 years down the line. Consider this a tree you might not get to sit under but will give shade to future generations

That seems more like independant collaboration. Someoje built something without getting 10 cook to taste the broth. If its good, then someone will identify it for its merits and then build on top of it

But the problem wont be the robots. Itll be the flood of new workers who will offer to rehab the place cheaper than you. And itll be that the white collar owners of the house wont have enough money to blow on a rehab bwcause their desk jobs

i dont like this class of criticism. mostly because i find myself do it alot. it doesnt matter if the tool used is simple, if it generates value then its a good idea what should this fallacy be called? ad implementum? ad modum?

you know, given that i've often said "if youre getting it for free, your the product" i am ok with this its not really possible for the rights holder to compete with a free product, since they arent harvesting data or oxploit

Thats how supply demand works right? Its a stable equilibrium. When supply is low, prices rises to entice supply, supply increases to match demand, prices fall, the rate of increase of supply falls as well until supply approaches to meet de

I think the pipeline needs to be plugged at both ends. We shouldnt allow this data to be sold without express consent. And we shouldnt allow the government to purchase this sort of data regardless of consent, protected under the 4th amendme

Thats a bit pedantic. Youre still arguing against an entity rather than addressing the argument. If you prompted an LLM to make a PSA that people should brush their teeth, is it a fair to argue that brushing your teeth is bad because an LLM

When the roman republic collapsed, they were still at their upwards inflection point. Ceasar was still on a roll. They hadnt peaked yet. This feels more like when the empire was in the early stages of coming down from its peak. I think the

Twotter as a data source is interesting. I think it gets over hyped because thats elons grift. But i cant deny that the real time info aspect of it is pretty valuable. But i definitely think that its not that much more valuable than the ope

> That the product is locked down by design is a feature, not a limitation. > Yes, this has the side effect of making them more money and allowing a walled garden to form Come on now. This is so naive. Why not lock your computer down

Theres alot of talk about how the cops just misused the tool and its their fault not the AIs Thats missing the point here. The point is that these tools provide crazy leverage, and thay can be good or bad. If used carefully it can definitel

Karpathy is more of a thought leader than most CEOs tbf. I find that instead of hyping up things to male more money, he genuinely discusses things he thinks are interesting and offers very good insights on them. He coined the term vibecodin

Medtech company males complete sense. Iran's strategy seems to be to tighten the screws on US citizens so they put pressure on the government to stop the war. They seem to be doing that with things like higher gas prices, and now delay

The pitch isnt to try to squeeze money out of a product like altman does. Its to lay the groundwork for the next evolution in AI. Llms were built on decades of work and theyve hit their limits. We'll need to invest alot of time buildin
